Title
I mean, if you're looking for a game to just dink around in and kill some time then this game is definitely for you! I had a lot of mixed feelings going into this game because I immediately hated the characters you're introduced to and also because a bulk of the missions that the game starts you off with are pretty basic and tedious. It's not until you start running off to liberate towns and destroy enemy bases that the game's action really starts to show itself off. Just Cause 3's trump card lies within it's mechanics, I can't tell you how exhilarating it feel to whiz around in my wing suit, parachute, and grappling hooks that pretty well made me feel like a super hero! You're definitely more agile in this game than say; Batman from the Arkham games! The tethering system adds a totally new layer of complexity when you start tying objects or people together and start flinging them into structures producing flashy results! Which brings me to yet another great aspect of this game which is the very interactive environments! Seriously, there are so many friggin explosives around in this world that I don't even know who would want to live here!!! In addition to the explosive environment there are zillions of vehicles and aircraft's to exploit in your adventures, you can even use these vehicles as bombs which kinda brought out a more devious side of me...

This game sounds awesome right?... Well, the story stinks! The characters are all pretty obnoxious and forgettable (including Rico Rodriguez who's the main character...), the script is cheesy and the VA is pretty well phoned in (the accents all seem kinda fake actually...). The plot is pretty much a repeat of previous games in the series from what I gather (never played the first two), but I can immediately draw comparisons between this story and the one from Far Cry 4 (i.e. return to your homeland and overthrow an arrogant dictator!). Sure, in this game you're a badass stuntman, but at least Far Cry 4 had a morally challenging plot line and interesting characters like Pagan Min (then again, it's pretty tough to compete against a bro like Troy Baker! :P). The story missions are actually some of the worst missions in the game, who thought it would be a good idea to throw in a s*** ton of escort missions? WHO LIKES ESCORT MISSIONS??? Especially when the AI is darn near mentally challenged as is the case in Just Cause 3! They're also heavily scripted missions which is awkward for a game advocating freedom! Last gripe with the campaign is that it's hella short, I was actually surprised because I've barely been playing this thing for a week now!!!

I ain't gonna lie tho, the world of Medici is pretty beautiful, it's fairly large and diverse too. You've got everything from towns to farms, military bases to temples, sunny beaches to snowy mountain tops, it's an impressive world no doubt. It's not as detailed as something like The Witcher 3 or Fallout 4 but that doesn't matter so much because you spend so much time in the air anyway! But jeez, this thing is pretty buggy, AI glitches would even prevent me from completing missions which was infuriating!!! It's hard to rip on a game that does so much right in terms of mechanics, physics, and blood pumping actions sequences. But with and short/dull story and a plethora of bugs this game ends up feeling more like a mindless time waster than it does an intimate and purposeful world.

    This game was fun when I got it , but god-damn was I disappointed when I realized half the map was barren and there was nothing to do up north.

      Yeah, super repetitive, but very fun for a short while.

    This is one of my favorite games ever made, but just cause 4 might just beat it out.

    I love this game, but I never played the story, I legit played the first few missions and started dicking around in the open world
