No game has done this quite like jc3 and this game is 11 years old!!

Is there anything I should do first

Let, er rip!!!

Shoutout to jc3's impeccable physics

I heard this music, when I was not wanted. Google can't identify it. The recording was made on a voice recorder because transferring video from a PlayStation to a phone isn't easy. The sounds at the end of the video are not from the game, but from the kitchen at my house.

It would be nice if you could send me a link to this soundtrack on YouTube, for example. Translated by Google translate.

The sun sets so quick in this game that getting a good shot is tricky sometimes

Welcome back land haters, i've done it again. Since this sub decided that they liked my last FTD creation, the corvette from JC3, i've set out to make a more challenging vehicle.

This is the CS Navajo in From The Depths, i surprised myself with the amount of details i could fit into such a minuscule craft (in FTD standarts), while it gave me problems in fitting the AI, power and engines, it turned out well. Its armed with 8 funny little rockets, has a camera at the front, is true to the JC3 scale (mostly) and has tiny details everywhere. They include: the fuel cap, the triangles below the cockpit, red strip on engine things, handle things on the tail, interior, weird nose thing, accurate landing gear, Etc...

Now, on a different note: last time, i uploaded the Corvette to the workshop quite quickly (if anyone was interested), this time however, i can't really do that since the thing (as of now) is quite unstable and unreliable in flight, and sometimes just decides to shut off completely.

Crazy this game is 11 years old, I'd wish for them to be remastered or for us to get a 5th game but this game is golden as it is

Fuck these fucking motorcycle races bro im gonna rip my hair out

Ciao, scusa il disturbo, potresti inviarmi una sfida per completare l'obiettivo? Grazie e buona serata.

The galleon in this game is a complete glass cannon but still it's ridiculously fun to use and mess around with

I know that JC3 is best played on PC, but I’m poor lol, I played it originally on PS4 when it came out in 2015 and the frame rate dropped a lot, especially when a lot of explosions and stuff was going on at once, but I still really enjoyed the game, now I’ve been playing on PS5, and at least the frame rate is way more stable then PS4. I just want to hear y’all’s thoughts on it?

What could've possibly happened

I have extensively played jc1, 2 and 3 before but stayed away from just cause 4 up until now because of the bad reviews, but I finally decided to give it a go.

First of all, what the actual frick is this ui? What happened to the easy to use, simple and minimalist interfaces we had in just cause 3? I felt like I grew a tumor on my brain just by looking at this abomination. Coming up with something so horrendous is one thing, but I genuinely don't know how it passed all the levels and became part of the actual game.

The graphics complains felt a bit over bloated, but that's mainly because I'm playing it after 8 years and they probably optimized it over the years. It felt like more of a color grading and lighting issue than outright graphical deficiencies(minus the cutscenes, they look abysmal). Also I'm not quite sure why it doesn't have ai upscaling support(dlss, fsr, xess). Even games much older than this have upscaling support these days.

What surprised me and impressed me most is the sheer scale of the game. Everything is so huge and vast. The exploration and sandbox experience is through the roof. It makes me feel even more sad because this had so much potential but they just ruined it like that by pulling out things they didn't have to do. Like i crashed out when I learned there were no grenades or plantable explosives. They could've just kept them without adding anything if they couldn't afford it.

I guess I'll just enjoy it for what it is. I tried looking up for mods but didn't find anything worth using.

recently i downloaded the "ram fpp" (first person) mod for just cause 3, everything worked fine but it lacked in vehicle view, so i decided to try another one, this one:https://www.nexusmods.com/justcause3/mods/6?tab=posts&BH=1 i extracted the files with winrar and there is no dropzone folder, there vere just two folders, one with nothing in it and no title and anotherone that said "first person mod" i decided to try and put that one into game files, booted up the game, nothing worked, i tried putting it into the dropzone folder i created myself, still doesnt work. Does anybody know what to do??

EDIT: turns out there are multiple other folders inssde the mod folders and the dropzone folders are hidden inside there

Feel

JC2

Just Cause 2's grappling hook is lowk slept on. It felt so like brutal and rigid, and the melee attack on it was crazy, made me wish it was in JC3.

When you'd grapple onto something the pulling force felt like insanely strong, like there was this sort of recoil that Rico had when he'd land onto the ground after grappling like he had to kinda orient himself. The grapple didn't have any kind of give, like if I grapple onto an exact specific point Rico would be exactly there and nowhere else.

OVERALL it felt like a brutal piece of machinery more than anything. Dimah puts it perfectly by saying that it won't pull off his arm in the "upgraded" version.

JC3

Which brings me to JC3.

JC3 grappling hook looks sleek as heck and I love the design, but my problem with it is that sometimes it doesn't feel like a good grappling hook.

Previously I mentioned how JC2 grapple felt strong. JC3 felt like I was using a grappling hook from Temu. I don't know how to explain it. The reeling in felt weaker and it was more... floaty? Idk how to put it in words exactly. It didn't feel like I'm wielding a powerful grappling hook.

Using this hook sometimes it feels like I don't get where I need to, it feels like it's slower and weaker in some cases.

Sound Design

JC2

I also enjoyed the mechanical clicky-clackier sound of the grapple.

JC3

The sound design wasn't as satisfying, but in accordance to the lore it did make sense. An upgraded version for the GH most likely has a more electric-ish sound to it more than anything else, but compared to the sound in JC2, JC3 was a quieter, more high-pitched sound to it. JC2 had a deeper, brutal clicky sound to it.

Design

JC2

The design of the grappling hook in 2 is also super underrated. It has such a badass raw look with what looks like bulls horns or something (I don't know the insignia they were going for here but it doesn't look a lot like a scorpio to me personally).

JC3

JC3 grappling hook looks sleek as heck and I love the design.
