OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Just Cause 2
« on: March 20, 2010, 11:15:45 AM »
I bought the first one for $5 and only played with it for an hour or so, but really liked where they were going with it.  There's a half-hour demo of Just Cause 2 in the Marketplace right now that is steak balls.

I seemed to remember not liking the first one all that much, but it was also 2 years ago so I might have it wrong. I have a gift card for a few bucks at Gamestop so I'll go buy it again and try it out.

Or just download the demo for the superior sequel for free.

I was playing the demo the other day.  That game is beyond ridiculous...and absolutely awesome.  Stealing a motorcycle, driving it off a cliff, jumping off the bike and free-falling until you're about 10 feet from the ground before pulling your parachute and then landing on another motorcycle is just badass.

Is anyone (other than definitely Yeti) picking this up today?  K-Mart, for whatever reason, has it for $44.99.

I'm not sure if I'm picking it up. I played the demo last night and I enjoyed it. I wasn't really sure what I was doing. I just was supposed to blow shit up? I'm not sure. Regardless, I went to the bottom of the map, found a tank and blew the shit out of a base. It was fun. I just have too many unfinished games that I should consider finishing. (I didn't find Just Cause 1 at GameStop the other day like I said I would)

I don't think plot is a major concern in this game.  I picked it up at lunch.  I'll likely give a very tired report later tonight or tomorrow.

It's awesome.  Get it.  The world is ENORMOUS (I think they said something like 400 square miles), and there are tons of things to do.  I've barely scratched the surface.  Though, I did shoot a grappling hook at two different dudes so they slammed together and both died.

Check Kmart and save yourself $15.  Oh, I also jumped out of a helicopter and through the roof of a skyway between two towers to save some dude caught in the crossfire of a gunfight.  The game STARTS with you jumping out of a plane and having to catch up to a dead dude who just fell out of the plane.  I also pulled a statue down onto a truck, which blew up and killed a bunch of guys, including one who was shooting a grenade launcher at me.

Buy two copies.

There's a ghetto ass K-mart right down the street. This is all kinds of good.
