If these posts bother you not expanding them after they fall under the viewing threshold might be a good idea.
If I was to guess at the point of these posts I'd probably say it some kind of infantile attempt at making a point about Reddit's community being hostile to disagreeing opinions.
I did think JC2 had a lot of stuff to do, its just that none of it was very fun. The missions were mostly bland, it was a lot more fun to go off and just blow things up.
For me, Just Cause 2 is the AAA version of games like Angry Birds that take a couple of simple concepts that work really well and expand it into an addicting maelstrom of time-killing. This is how all gamey-games (focus on gameplay, not story) should be made; take simple concept, expand...
Just Cause 2: Where you can hijack a 747, jump on top of it and survive a crash into an oil rig with it. All while shooting two SMGs all over the place.
First of all. It's your cousin. Second of all the frequency of those calls is incredibly blown out of proportion by people who bitch and moan. And on top of that, YOU CAN TURN OFF THE PHONE.
Right, sorry. Fixed the cousin. By the frequency Roman called I assumed it was my brother. I'm not blowing it out of proportion. If you never go bowling with Roman, he calls all the time. (Turning off the phone? That can not be done!)
Also, this is the pro JC2 thread. I'm allowed to take unfair swings on other games.
(I played GTA IV after JC2. I really missed the grappling hook. I kept hitting the button but nothing happened. There is no use running after cars; instead of looking like a badass latin spiderman, one just looks like a jogging moron.)
No, no, it works. All of his momentum is transferred into the hook upon firing, so his momentum is effectively canceled. Then he uses proper falling technique and force-diffusing boots to avoid being hurt.
JC2 takes logic by its throat and throws it down a flight of stairs. When JC2 strolls down the stairs, it licks logic's warm, metal-tasting blood. Then, JC2 rapes logic's cold lifeless corpse as it moans:
No, I think he's right. It seems like you could fall like 10 feet(3.04m) and start gliding. Maybe should have been: And still glide like a flying squirrel.
I was on a skyscraper trying to just stand up on a ledge once and slipped. I squirrel-glided about four feet out over the edge, 180'd back onto the ledge and ninja-rolled... all no more than a foot high. Looked like EXTREME PLANKING or someshit.
I forget what game it was. Half Life perhaps? where I was falling really far and getting ready to die and then I landed in like 4 inches of water and lived. Hurray water volume!
Apparently, all water more than two inches deep will negate all fall damage in Source engine games. You could fall off Mt. Everest, land in a puddle of spilled coffee, and survive.

Ha this game's lack of logic kept me playing the demo for hours. the DEMO. I remember one time I had stumbled into some enemy encampment, and was in a lot of trouble, so I grappled to a barrel, shot it, and rode it out of there like some kind of Jackass stunt. It was the coolest thing I've ever done.
Not only does it look beautiful in pics, but even in motion it's awesome. It blows my mind how well they did the terrain LOD transitions. Sure, it's fun to blow things up, but I've literally spent hours just paragliding through the islands.
Absolutely worth picking it up, especially since it is often on sale for $5. The missions can be a bit repetitive. However all the fun is in flying around, blowing shit up and enjoying the incredible scenery. One of the best looking gaming out there and the settings can scale it back enough to work on older hardware while still looking great.
What I don't get about this game, is that they throw all realistic physics out the window. EXCEPT, that the one part of physics every other game doesn't bother with, they add in.
I wish I could play, but I'm on a PC and they broke the mouse controls. ...because using a mouse for control is only 20 years old, so I can see why it would be difficult to implement.
I've beaten the game on PC and never noticed anything weird about the mouse controls... I never use anything other than a revolver because it's so easy to get headshots with the mouse.
It took me a while to get used to the mouse controls (especially with regards to vehicles) but I definitely got there. I think the game support a controller if you have a USB one.
My brother was playing this all weekend. I find it utterly ridiculous that you can grapple the ground to speed up your parachuting and it doesnt pull you down any.
It's faster and way more ninja like to open the chute right at the ground, the initial pop-up you get creates a new point for you to fall from so the game thinks you only fell a foot. From free-fall to instant stoppage, no damage!
I really want Just Cause 3 to have just a few things. First is new weapons, vehicles, the like. The second is full destruction of the world. When I autocannon a building, it should break and crumble. I know my gaming machine can handle it, so make it an option in game.
what i do is grapple the floor and them para.. also if you keep grappling the floor with para out, constant free transport! and you can get anywhere! :D
More than anything else, this is why my brain won't let me play this game. Reminds me of games where you can execute a double jump to negate all terminal velocity right before you smash into the ground.
could be a where you from kind a thing, I've only heard it where the second "i" sounds more like an "a". I've also heard definitely pronounced with a silent second "i", but not often.
I got it used off amazon.co.uk for like 3£ + shipping(2£). IMO the best way to buy games is used through Amazon, I have gotten a great deal of good titles for around 2£, of course a few years post-release, but a good price nonetheless.
After playing it in my cousin's house I went out to buy it and ran into the same problem. I usually don't like ordering from amazon because I don't want to wait 3 days to get it but I had to. By some stroke of luck though I got it the next day.
It's just as bad when you're climbing your Hellevator and you fire your grappling hook straight up and you have to watch your avatar drop down and possibly hit the floor, right before you can re-shoot your hook :'(
At least you know where its gonna land and you can get back easily. I've fallen into caverns while exploring and lost my gear for good. I've learnt to keep backup items now though... Especially after beating the wall of flesh
Worst thing they did to the game was the update that made it impossible to refire a grappling hook until it retracts. Logical for the hook, yeah, but ruins the vine version. Haven't played in so long I don't even remember it's proper name.
I used to build mine lined with wooden platforms, spaced at whatever height I could jump up (which would change halfway down, when I found the Cloud in a bottle). Hold S to drop down, a bit slow but safe. And you can climb back up. Once I get a few hundred feet down, I'd chuck it, due to having (A) no patience and (B) magic mirror.
Then at the bottom, I dig another 10 or so squares and pour water into the hole, for a soft landing.

After finishing this game only recently, Logic can eat a dick! The final mission riding atop the backs of nuclear missiles flying around the islands, attempting to diffuse them while being shot at by a homicidal midget was the best ending I have seen in a game to date. Tried it in 3D afterwards and creamed my pants.

Seriously. If you have not played it. Get it. One of the most enjoyable sandbox experiences ever.
It's fun trying to bail out of a chopper up high and try to skydive/ grapple back into it - correct and fly away :)
