PC Gamer: Grappling with the chaos of Just Cause 3
​

I'm looking at a piece of concept art pinned to a window in Avalanche’s Swedish studio. It shows a beautiful Mediterranean beach glowing in the afternoon sun. Then I look past it, out of the window, and see that it’s snowing heavily outside. It seems strange that a series famous for its tropical picture-postcard settings is made in Stockholm and New York: two cities known for their brutal winters. But then that’s what Just Cause is all about: escapism.
“Just Cause gives you that feeling of being twelve years old,” says Roland Lesterlin, game director. “You almost have the mind of an adult. You understand the world. But everyone’s taller than you. The moon is bigger. The stars are big. You get into a car and it’s big. It’s this sense of wonder and learning new things. New smells, new tastes. And games have a unique ability to give us that emotion.”
Just Cause 3, he says, is built with this feeling in mind. A world of possibilities that rewards inquisitive players, and coaxes you to prod and experiment with its systems. But at the same time, it’s not as wild as, say, Saints Row. This is intentional according to Lesterlin: “Compared to other open-world games, we push more towards the sandbox. But as outrageous as it is, we’re still grounded in reality in a lot of ways. Take the wingsuit. It feels real because it’s fast, and when you hit the ground it’s a little aggressive. But you can fly for long distances without losing momentum. I think when you get too absurd it damages your sense of escapism.”

Unless it has loads and loads of immersive side quests and a truly fabulous main story, i dont see why i would buy this game without MP.

Take fallout, witcher, Dragon age, mass effect for example.

Sir.. have you played Just Cause 2?

anirbandd #18
Jun 11, 2015 at 9:30 AM
Yes. 98% completion. the main story was quite short. and there were not many side quests.

IMO blowing up the fuel pumps, radar installations, capturing enemy territory, gathering chaos points as comprehensive side quests. the NPC side quests werent that many.

by, i loved the game for its environment and traversal mech. JC2 gave us a slice of a variety of environment LONG before GTAV was conceived. hats off to them for that.

and mods. awesome!!

Again there is NO multiplayer at launch lol

And as for being overpowered I think that must be just for the trailers to show off the explosions lol

its asynchronous multiplayer.

anyway, that would let the devs focus on the main game itself to make it better in every aspects. gamers will be wary after the recent BAtman fiasco lol

also, if it allows modding, then that would be another huge bonus. but then it would break MP.

The 1st Hour Of Just Cause 3 Gameplay



Can’t wait till Dec 1? Square Enix and Avalanche Studios are excited to broadcast the first hour of gameplay from Just Cause 3. Obviously with a game as vast, varied and as open as Medici with its 400 square miles of beautiful beaches, towering mountain peaks and Mediterranean inspired towns your first hour of play might be different to ours. But we thought we’d focus on some of the early missions and content to whet your appetite ahead of next week’s launch. Enjoy.

Played for 4 hrs in a single session just now, everything very high except shadows, 60+ FPS, dips to 40 sometimes, but comes back up.

I was wondering if I can play at 60 hz on a i5 2400 with 970 as i5 2500K was minimum. there are a few bugs but it didn't crash on my even once.

Playing Just Cause 3 for the last 2 weeks!! It gets a bit repetitive doing things again & again.

Open world is really huge, beautiful too!! Usually takes some time loading at the main screen.

But not so good as was Just Cause 2.

Just Cause 3: Multiplayer is coming to Steam
Nanos Framework's Multiplayer mod is becoming an official add-on
On July 20th, Nanos Frameworks' Just Cause 3 Multiplayer mod will become an official add-on for the Steam version of the game, allowing PC players to officially/freely make use of popular modification.

Steam integration will make the installation process much easier, with the mod itself taking up between 300MB and 1GB of storage space according to the mod's official Steam Page.


Just Cause 3 Multiplayer mod is a free fan-created project bringing an explosive and highly customizable multiplayer to the critically acclaimed action sandbox game. Get ready for countless hours of hilarious brawls, stunts, and races with hundreds of other players!

For a more detailed list of the current options and instructions on how to install and play the mod, please see our FAQ on the Steam discussion board here: (insert URL here)

We at Nanos are an enthusiastic team of coders from Germany, Austria and the UK who have worked towards releasing Just Cause 3 Multiplayer for more than a year. Our goal is to bring multiplayer to the next level by allowing the players themselves to build upon our work!



KEY FEATURES:

  • Battle, race, chase and play tag with fighter jets with up to hundreds of players per server.
  • Enjoy community created game modes, ensuring a constantly evolving play set.
  • Countless hours of fun including racing, deathmatch, skydiving, free roam, etc.
  • Don’t see the game mode you want? Make one!
  • State-of-the-art synchronization helps reduce lag to a minimum.

Below are the PC system requirements for Just Cause 3 Multiplayer, which is the same as the requirements for vanilla Just Cause 3, with the mod only requiring additional system storage. Even so expect framerates to be lower with additional players on-screen, especially during intensive scenes with additional explosions or other activity.



MINIMUM:
OS: Windows Vista SP2 / Windows 7 SP1 / Windows 8.1 (64-bit OS required)
Processor: Intel Core i5-2500k, 3.3GHz / AMD Phenom II X6 1075T 3GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM

There is more to games than just graphics. People these days give too much importance due to which games publishers focus on graphics rather on good stories and game mechanics. No wonder we get sequels with story added as a afterthought instead of New IPs.

Guys don't get me wrong, I still play VC, SA, Swat, Mafia 1 & 2 sometimes. I have played Mafia 1 and 2 for like a million times. Yes their graphics are nothing as compared to GTA V but atleast they can be ignored keeping in mind the storyline and the game. Coming to JC 2, I don't leave or delete any game without fully completing it but the I found the graphics and the storyline to be pretty ordinary so I deleted it. Same was the case with Mad Max game, graphics were good but I found the storyline and gameplay pretty crap so it was deleted too. I am a big fan of MM movie series though. Mafia 3 has great graphics but again storyline and gameplay is bad, I have completed like 50% of the missions but I haven't deleted it yet. I have kept it for the time when I have completed other games or I have no movies to watch. I guess to each its own.
@Stormbringer what is IP that you have mentioned?
Stormbringer
Nov 22, 2017 at 11:05 AM
IP = Intellectual Property . Also Just Cause Series is a sandbox type of game with focus on gameplay and fun. You can jump off a plane and do crazy stuff like that. Stories were never the focus.
