Today’s game is Just Cause 4. I wanted to take it easy after an exhausting week of work. At this point i doubt i’ll make much of a dent in Alan Wake II by Halloween, but it’s better than burning myself out and not having fun.
I picked Just Cause 4 because it was the one i had installed. I have more nostalgic memories of Just Cause 3 and dicking around in that. But Just Cause 4 is a lot of fun too with the balloons and stuff. I ran around and did a few missions and tethered some guys and their cars to some Balloons. You’re seeing the after effects here.
I also had a lot of fun strapping the boosters to the bottom of a car with balloons and getting in and turning it on. The car took flight and would crash into other cars. Has the same kind of chaotic feel as Red Dead Redemption and Wagon Surfing.
Just cause 2 was such a banger of a game. Part 3 was such a letdown for me because half of the map was empty. Such a ashame because the gameplay additions were really cool. My dream sequel would have been the gameplay of 3 with the map of 4.
I think tying unlocks to sanitised challenges was what made 3 unenjoyable for me
In 2 I would just play the game and naturally unlock stuff, whereas in 3, the unlock to another rocket c4 was tied to destroying some random military base in a time limit that didn’t even shoot back.
Yeah the unlocks were not a great design choice
4 is stupid fun, especially with the weather weapons and all the dumb stuff you can do with the balloons and such.
I love the Chaos elements of 4. They’re such an improvement over 3. I think the only thing that makes me like 3 more is the brighter colors and the story
