Just cause 2

quarryman

Out on the 26th. Looking forward to it. I really enjoyed the first one. It was complete sandbox though with no real solid game wrapped around it. Hopefully they've sorted that out in the sequel.

yeh im really looking forward to it, only problem is, moneys real tight, so its gotta be JC2 or God of War 3, ugh its too hard to decide!:(

I really liked the first one. I thought the game world was beautiful and the level of freedom it gave me was what I'd hoped GTAIV would of given me.

This looks amazing though. I always loved the sense of height in the world, you could fly miles up and free fall for what seemed like an age.

Wossack

steam had the first one bundled with arkham this weekend for 20e

tis awful... and the shocking state of the support for it would put me off touching this next one with a proverbial bargepole

That vid looks pretty good

Never got into the first one, iirc it came out around the same time as Dead Rising and was a little overshadowed by that

Demo was fantastic i thought, gave you exactly what you want from a demo which is just to be able to switch it on and go nuts for 20 mins rather then ramming too much down our throats.

It was pretty average I thought. Driving felt a bit weird, too loose or something, just not right. Shooting was a tiny bit dodgy, there's probably a lock on mechanic I ignored though.

I enjoyed the jumping from stuff and parachuting, and the huge area, but I can't see it being that interesting for an extended period.

quarryman

Downloaded the demo last night - its great fun!

Its basically like Crackdown with parachutes!

Reckon i'll be picking up the full game alright.

What annoyed me was I ended up in the middle of nowhere, and had to run for what seemed like forever to get to a vehicle. He just moves too slow for the size of the environment. Also I hated the "vasiline on the lense" look of the back ground environment.

On the plus side blowing stuff up is extremely satisfying indeed. Love it when you shoot the gas cylinders and they whooosh about the place and up in the air

I tried this but it did nothing for me which is a shame, however, grappling a guy on to one and shooting it. Now thats a spectacle!

Can you roam around freely?,looks realy good would'nt mind getting it,if I did'nt have so many games to get through already.

Kiith

Just Cause 2 is pretty much the definition of free roaming. Its a huge game, and its seriously good fun to play. You can do some seriously fun stuff. I'd definitely recommend it.

Wouldnt have found that if the black smoke or polar bears were lurking around !!

humanji

Damn it! I won't have a chance to go to town tomorrow and buy it, so I bought it on Steam, only to find that I can't preload it. Now I've to wait ages to be able to play it.

Kiith

Why can't you pre-load it? When i looked earlier it was saying pre-load now.

Yakult

Is it only supported by Vista and windows 7?

Gamer Bhoy 89

there's just option showing in Steam like it normally does. I can't understand it.

yeah it is.


edit: finally got this loading. It's brilliant. I can see it getting repetitive, but I guess it's one of those games that you have to find your own way of having fun. I'm currently trying to free fall from a helicopter into one of those fuel shafts. It's driving me mad but I refuse to stop until I do it!

Sephiroth_dude

Is it possible to play this when steam is in offline mode?
