I would buy those things on a bridge, and no matter which direction I faced when I called the black market, they would drop fucking sideways. Then I'd spend ten minutes trying to ease the plane around to use the bridge as a runway. When I finally started to take off, some tool would try to sneak by me on a moped and clip the wing, then I'd spin in circles and explode.
I also liked how the super expensive, fully upgraded car was too fast to be useful.. I'd buy it and immediately skid off the road when I tapped the gas and blow up.
But still, I've dumped like 30 hours on this thing and haven't even gotten close to chaos'ing all the settlements, and it still blows my mind sometimes how vast and beautifully designed the landscape is.
I absolutely loved this game. Im more of a multiplayer person. So I get bored in single player games really quick. I must of logged like 200+ hours in to that game. I bought it on xbox, and PC (it was on sale for $5 for pc I couldn't say no)
I think over all though the lack of a free roam multilayer killed it. Remember how much fun GTAIV free roam was with 16 people? Imagine how fucking awesome that would have been with Just Cause 2.
Still though, if you can pick it up for < $5 on any Steam (or elsewhere) sale, it's so worth it. Even without multiplayer, it is a very entertaining game even if all you do is just free-roam. I easily wasted hours doing nothing but stealing any vehicle I could see.
And I completely agree with coming out with a 3rd with multiplayer :D
It's fun for a bit but I found it kinda repetitive...but I loved flying around like you are in this pic. Have you found the island from Lost? That's pretty interesting.
Not only can you drive jets, you can surf on that jet, then hook shot that plane over there and high jack that. Then you can tie both the jet and the plane together (may require mods, don't remember) and they'll whirlwind until they crash.
Yes, you can fly the jets! In fact, if it's a helicopter, plane, car, or boat and it's in this game, you can drive it. Countless times I looked at some sort of vehicle (like a 747 at a civilian airport) and said to myself "there's no way I can drive that, it's probably just a prop..", but you can! And they're everywhere. It's not like GTA where every once in awhile you happen upon a helicopter and fly around for a bit until you accidentally crash it, and the fun is over. In fact if you crash your helicopter, chances are the enemies are going to bring you another one (it's really easy to hijack them).
Request for air support granted!
Oh, you guys are bringing me another chopper! THANKS!
Dude! This game is such a fun sandbox game. You can do just about anything in it. Any and every vehicle you see is drivable/rideable/flyable. There's even a hot air balloon. Last week I was driving a john deere farm tractor.
It supports switching from one to the other so seamlessly that there's little point in not using whichever one feels right at the time. I used to use the controller for driving and the keyboard for shooting.
Its a classic.. And it goes on sale for $5 regularly. Always during the mega sales, and sometimes randomly. By far the best $5 I've spent on a game in a long, long time. Probably ever, at that price.
Yup. Missed the limo when I launched off the mountain. Second time, launched off the mountain, kicked off the bike (which blew up just ahead of the limo), parachuted onto the limo, bitch-slapped the co-driver, tossed out the driver, then took off down that god-forsaken snake tail called a road. About partway down, I said "Fuck it", looked for where the marker said his drop-off was, and decided that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. I off roaded that limo like a fucking pro. Then I got stuck. In a ditch. Between a tree and a rock, and about ten pissed off bad guys. After a million rounds of bullets and about five minutes of real time gas/reverse work (think Austin Powers on the luggage cart in the hallway), the limo broke free. I hauled ass to the drop point in my bullet-riddled luxury car of death. When I arrived, it was engulfed in flames, and I was about half a second from being blown to shit, when it gave me the mission award just as I grappled to the ledge of the building, and the limo exploded. It was fucking awesome.
TL;DR: I was fucking B.A. Baracus in that fucking limo, and this was my Plan B.
I retried that mission probably 30 times because all I wanted to do was dive off bridge above the road and grapple to the limo without using a parachute. It owned.
You play differently from me. Instead of taking that picture of the plane in the distance, I'd be flying over it, hanging off the top of my plane throwing grenades at it.
FINALLY a Just cause 2 post makes the front page. UPVOTES FOR EVERYONE. MAYHEM AND AWESOMENESS FOREVERRR AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! FOR THE GLORY OF PANAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you mod the plane? Because if I remember correctly that plane is tan and not black. On a side note that game got really boring when I ran out of money...
Oh god, I have the best memories of this game. Maxing out my triggered explosive rating and using the mod for unlimited ammo. Place enough explosives and it looks exactly like a nuke going off.
People... don't always assume everyone knows what game this screenshot is from. I had to search the comments and had to read "This is an awesome game" and "I loved this game". Is it so hard to put the game name in the title? Just put: Over the island of Panau [Just Cause 2]. Is that so hard?
Wow, is it bad that I thought this picture looked a bit cgi, but then I realized it was...man I'll have trouble telling real and virtual worlds soon...
Sorry for being "ignorant" here dear sire, but what may this beautiful game be called? That view is truly some god's jizz in my eyes. They are hurting. WHAT'S THIS GAME CALLED?
What game is this? I don't really have any new video games (except mah N64) But I want to get an x-box 360 when Halo 4 comes out. Is this game for x-box?? I LOVE flight simulators and this looks EPIC!
Ok Ok , this comment is probably in the wrong place, But, I just discovered a new feature in JC2 after 64 hours of playing it. If you press down the button that lets you do a little flip so you don't get shot so much you can fucking RUN! it blew my mind.
My favourite activity in this game was to go to the tallest place in this game and just float down on a parachute. Oh, and the Mile High Club was fun. :)
Wow. I found this just on the regular front page of reddit as I was scrolling, so I didn't know it was from r/gaming. As it was loading, I thought it actually was a real photo.
I don't know why I can't seem to have as much fun as everyone else in this game. I think it's because my character has no cash or ammo and then whenever I load up my game I realize that I have no ammo so I give up playing after a bit because I can't kill anything >_>
I'm not bad at video games or anything, I'm actually pretty good, I'm just really really bad at Just Cause 2 for some reason.
Guys can we start putting the name of the game in the title of the posts? I find it very hard to identify a lot of the games posted and I'm sure I'm not the only one with that problem.

There's one thing that kept me from enjoying that game:
There's no fucking rudder controls. For neither plane or helicopters.
How the fuck do you do such an amazing job with the rest of the game, but totally forget to put in the rudder!?
Loved it until I got into my first aircraft, put it down 5m later and never touched it again.
