@poobumbutt: Oh totally, I just wanted my opinion to be out there! It's cool that people dig these games but I think they're boring as frig, which is impressive for a series that revolves around wanton destruction.

Just Cause 2 was amazing. Please let the microtransaction stuff be minimal or a sad joke.

No micro transactions confirmed! YAYAYAY!

I've been waiting for this for 4 years. I'm ready!

I really should play Just Cause 2.

Exactly. Saints Row 3-4 did crazy open world with some good gameplay at least. I liked the MP a lot, though.

Fuggit, I want this.

Damn, I hope this game turns out good.

I found it super novel for 10 or 12 hours but I didnt do much story stuff at all, I focused on destroying military bases and finding the random loot. I thought the map was way too big, the roads were too windy and wasteful of my time and the gunplay wasn't very good (but I'm also a heathen that thinks RDR/GTAV have the best shooting mechanics this side of Destiny/CoD so take my opinion on third person shooting with a grain of salt). I really, really enjoyed blowing shit up but thats not a whole game. Glad I got it through PS+.

Notice how he says "Just Cause 3 is not a free to play game" and not "Just Cause 3 has no micro transactions"

They're putting the WORST kind of IAP into a full priced retail video game. It's absolutely deplorable behaviour and I steadfastly refuse to support this bullshit cash grab.

@vod_crack: "Boring on an impressive level". Vod's back-of-the-box quote.

And I totally agree. These games are too "open" for me. I wish they had a sense of purpose for destruction, other than, "I don't know, you should probably destroy that big thing because it'll cause unrest and stuff. I guess." Without solid direction, I don't feel like I'm actually accomplishing anything.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

@Everyone talking about the alleged microtransactions: according to a blog post on the Avalanche site, those screenshots were from a very early build of the game and the concept has been completely scrapped. A direct quote:

To be perfectly clear: Just Cause 3 will be available in 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. It will be distributed as a retail box and digital download. It is not a Free To Play game. It does not feature in-game micro transactions.

The full blog post can be found here.

Honestly the Just Cause 2 demo was ALMOST enough content to be a game in itself.

At least almost-almost.

Can't wait. ^__________^

Well, that's good news. All aboard the hype train.

Fuck yeah! I hope it's as big as, or larger than, JC2.

My dream for Just Cause 3: The entire game is playable with 4 player coop.

Life is complete.

Let's hope for some more pollish than the previous installments. Glad to see it happen though.

Just Cause 2 was pretty amazing if a little bit unpolished. If this one receives the treatment it deserves, we could end up with something really special.

Scorpyoooooo

Is it odd that I got bored with Just Cause 2? Rather quickly I might add

Thats awesome I am going to get that for sure

I'm super excited about this because I'm easily exciteable

I could never get into JC2. It always felt a little thin or clunky or something, I don't know. I appreciate the fan made multiplayer of course but...

@sushinao: not just microtransactions, but ubisoft has been asking people to buy a game they haven't played for $90 to get future content. The season pass should come AFTER people hve had a chance to finish the game and decide they want more. Fucking ubisoft acts like every game they put out will be the best game ever and they want/expect people to to want more content before the consumer has even had a chance to move the main character. It's driving me a bit nuts.

That being said... I... I'd plop down $90 for future splinter cell content before I play the next splinter cell because oh my god I love splinter cell

YEAH

Are microtransactions a just cause?

Sorry

A bad series.

Never got into Just Cause 2 for some reason.

GOTY 2015 CONFIRMED

GRAPPLE BIRDS

GRAPPLE THE MOON

I spent well over 100 hours playing Just Cause 2 and loved every second of it. Can't wait for JC3!

yes yes yes yes yeees YEEESS!!!!!!!

I found Just Cause 2 about two years after it came out, bought it on steam sale and was blown the fuck away by how amazing this game is. If you like freedom, if you enjoy yourself some Tribes Ascend (or the earlier games) then the JC series offers some of that awesome freedom.

I love when devs put fun first. Can't remember anything about the story, but maaaan, I remember hours of shenanigans and nonsense. Pure fun, these games.

I like how they've been talking about how it's not free to play like it's something to be proud of, when in fact the truth is even worse, it's going to be a $60 game with F2P cash shops and restrictions.

I couldn't agree more. I tried playing this game "seriously" and it didn't work much... until I started using it as a background game whenever I'd listen to the Bombcast. 80 hours later, and I have every achievement in the game, all the completion possible (100% is not possible because... poop) and sooooo many hours of fun. I used other games as background games, but none worked as much as this one.

If Just Cause 3 is more of the same, I am A-OK with that !

Wanted to like 2 so much but the controls just didn't click with me. Awesome if the new one does.

The inevitable unlimited grapple mod makes this a must buy.

I don't even know why they bother with console release, mods were 90% of the best stuff of the second game. Even the multiplayer's a mod.

Praise the grapple.

Just Cause 2 goes for sale for 3 bucks about every other month. Just buy it, already! Buy it! The cost of a small fries will get you "80's Action Movie: the Video Game"!

pants: shit

Imagine how good of a game this can be if they actually do halfway decent missions and a plot that is any better than one of the worst game stories I've ever had to play in JC 2. Or not play. I mean that was the beauty of JC 2 (and I still played it a lot) but there is so much potential.

@walterbennet: Oh my god. If I played and won the lotto I now know what I would spend it on. Just Cause of Blood Dragons!

Just going to bump this again as some folk still seem to think the game is either f2p or has micro-transactions.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssss.

I absolutely adored Just Cause 2. Enough so that it got me to play through it multiple times. God damn, the grapple/parachute mechanic in that game is fantastic. It's not without flaws, but if the the developers are smart they can make 3 a phenomenal game.

Yes.

JC2 is goddamned amazing. Not the best narrative or "game", maybe, but as a playpen it's great. Stunt position crashing a jet into another and parachuting off is one of the LEAST fun things to do in that game.
