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

I just flew a helicopter to a night club floating in the sky, killed some people, and then took off in a plane on a mini-runway at the back.  This game kicks ass.

Last night, I ejected just before I flew a plane into the side of a missile that was being launched into orbit (Why?  Not sure.  Doesn't matter.).  The ensuing explosion was incredible.  Also, slingshotting yourself around with the parachute + grappling hook shouldn't be as fun as it is.

I think I read about that mission.  This game is so over-the-top, it's incredible.  The only problem I'm having so far is that the controls for the vehicles can be really messed up at times, particularly when driving.  If you go off-road at all, those things have absolutely no control.  Also, it would be nice if the planes could control pitch/yaw/roll with both analogs instead of just the left one.  And I agree about the parachute/grappling hook.  It makes it a whole lot easier to travel around when you need to get somewhere without roads.

Yes, the planes are a nightmare to fly so far.  That's why I had to ram it into the missile instead of just shooting it down.

I'd definitely prefer ramming it in there. You fucks are going to make me go buy this. I hate you both

I think it'll be really cool once I actually figure out how to control those things better.  I just flew over a military base and tried to crash the plane into the fuel depot.  I aimed it the best I could, jumped out on top, started shooting as I was falling to the ground and then bailed out at the last second...my plane missed the fuel canisters by about 15 feet.

Hover a helicopter over them and just jump out.  It's amazing.

I like that if you are driving 80 mph head on into another motorcycle and bail at the last second, you see the fiery wreck below as the explosion takes out everything on the road.  It's like you're playing a Michael Bay movie, but it doesn't suck.

Have you tried to take out a colonel yet?  Fun stuff.  Those bastards are elusive and heavily-armored.

I've only done two of the Stronghold missions and then the Agency missions you have to do at the beginning.  I've just been going around blowing shit up.

Also, I hope they keep track of stats in this game as much as they did for the demo:

QuotePlayers from around the world are eagerly awaiting the release of Just Cause 2. We know this because Square Enix has revealed that the game's playable demo has been downloaded over 2 million times since the demo became available on the 4th of March.

Some other interesting stats about the demo that you might like to know: "In that time, players have driven a distance equivalent to a trip from the earth to the moon and back four times; Panau Island has lost almost 30 million of its population (with approximately 2.5 million headshots, almost a million drivers hurled from hijacked vehicles and 27,000 PiƱata kills); and players have BASE jumped the equivalent of a freefall through the Earth's core, pole-to-pole, twice."

But, I digress.  This game sounds like everything GTA IV should have been.

Tough, but fair.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.
