It is unlikely that today there is a gamer who has never heard of the Just Caus series in his life. She is incredibly popular. And the second part of the project gathered millions of users from the screens. What is her secret? The fact is that recently the so-called sandboxes, that is, games in which you do not have a specific task, have gained great popularity. Or it exists, but does not carry any serious meaning. The beauty of these games lies in the interactivity of the world - at your disposal there is a huge territory through which you can move freely and do whatever you want.
Naturally, each sandbox has its own bias. And in this case, the developers have provided an impressive amount of unique features. You can shoot, blow up, ride various vehicles, swim, fly, parachute and much, much more. Naturally, it would be naive to expect that the developers, with such a stunning success, provided in many respects by the presence in the second part of the multi-user mode, will stop work and miss the chance to earn even more. It was clear to everyone - someday in the foreseeable future the game Just Cause 3 will be released (an overview of which you will read now). Well, at the end of 2015, this moment has come. Pestilence continued. How good was Just Cause 3? The review will highlight all the details of the new part of the legendary game.
Unforgettable feelings
It is quite difficult to talk about a game like Just Cause 3. A review of an average project can have some kind of structure, in fact, like the game itself. Here you get at your disposal a huge island. You can freely move on it. And it gives you an unforgettable experience. You can do whatever you want: get on a plane, fly over the island, and then jump out and land on a village field. As a matter of fact, even being at the height of a bird's flight, you are unlikely to be able to see the entire playing space - it is so huge. So if you want in the game you can spend a hundred hours to visit every corner of the territory, which was called the Medici.
Well, and, of course, even more impressive is what exactly you will do during the game - explosions. Very few games offer destructible environments. That is, the world around you is a scene that you can shoot, blow up, kick and do the most incredible things with it - it will remain the way the developers created it. Everything is completely different here. You can blow up almost everything and enjoy it as much as you want. This is the charm of the project Just Cause 3. The review, however, will touch on other topics: both positive and negative. And then you can decide for yourself whether you want to play the new part of the series so loved by everyone or not.
Realism
Many computer game developers strive to make the gameplay as realistic as possible. They make the characterâs movements what they would be in real life, they try to strictly observe the laws of physics and so on. This does not apply to the Just House 3 project - a review will demonstrate this in detail to you. The fact is that even in the second part, you could jump from the wing of one plane to the wing of another, pull the pilot out of the cockpit, send him into free fall, direct his ship towards the refinery, parachute at the last moment and admire how everything takes off into the air.
What happened in the third episode? Everything has become even more impressive and less realistic. And this is what pleases the eye, and also allows you to enjoy what is happening on the screen as much as possible, without caring that some of the things that happen do not comply with the laws of physics. Here, practically nothing is subject to them. This is what attracts new gamers to the Just House 3 project. The review, of course, does not end there - you still have a lot to learn about this game.
Plot component
As with any other game, in the case of Just Cause 3, a review cannot do without a description of the plot. However, it will be short and capacious. Let's try to deal with this issue as soon as possible and forget about it. Why? The fact is that the plot here does not have much significance and serves, rather, as a kind of background for everything that happens. Of course, you can perform tasks, move along the storyline, but this is not required.
So, the bottom line is that the main character, whose name is Rico Rodriguez, is a protagonist, as in previous episodes. He arrives on another island captured by a tyrant and a despot. This time the land is called the Medici. And the dictator's name is Sebastiano di Ravello. Separately, it is worth noting that, apparently, the main character grew up on this island, because from time to time you meet friends or friends from his childhood. But still it does not play any role. You overthrow the dictator. As long as innocent people die because of him, the new perspective of government is also not painfully rosy. In general, everything is according to the standard drawing. It doesnât matter at all. It's time to forget about the plot and move on to the much more important and interesting elements of Just Cause 3. The review will describe them in great detail.
Accents
A review of Just Cause 3 would be incomplete without a point about explosions. Because it is they who play one of the main roles. This is visible to everyone. And the developers are not even trying to deny this. Moreover - all the trailers that were released before the official release of the game focused on how to detonate, detonate and detonate again. When the game was shown at computer exhibitions, the whole gameplay focused solely on how to let a particular object fly into the air more beautifully. As a matter of fact, you should have already grasped the essence of what is happening - life can flow around, a bloodthirsty leader can terrorize the local population, but all that will concern you in the game are explosions.
You will fly cars, whole buildings. Particularly wonderful are those objects that contain flammable and explosive substances, that is, factories, gas stations, gas tanks and so on. And, of course, it is extremely interesting to destroy various sights. It looks more impressive than the explosions of ordinary buildings. Especially if it is a monument to the dictator. However, you should not focus only on this - a review of the game Just Cause 3 can tell a lot more.
Updated Movement
Regardless of whether you read the review in Russian or English in the case of Just Cause 3, you will always come across an unusual word - wingsuit. This device, which appeared in the third part of the game. And it radically changed the gameplay. The fact is that in the first two episodes you periodically had to overcome long distances on foot, since it was not so easy to get into the air. Yes, and there was no opportunity to hold out there for a long time. Hijacking transport is also not always an affordable task, but a half-hour walking march will not make anyone more fun.
In the third part, everything has changed since the wingsuit has appeared - it is a costume that has peculiar wings that allow you to soar in the air. And quite purposefully. So now, when you jump from an airplane, you donât have to use a parachute and wait for landing on the ground - you can combine all the available devices by adding the legendary cat hook and wingsuit to the parachute. Gamers have already reported that with this combination you can cross the entire huge island without touching the ground. Simply put, the gameplay has become much more diverse and interesting. At the same time, you should not think that on some platform something is changing. A review of Just Cause 3 on a PS4 will be no different from a review for an Xbox or personal computer. In any case, this is a great game, which should be given due attention.
What to do on the island?
Naturally, everyone already perfectly understood that in this game you need to fly and blow up, blow up and fly, combine, repeat and start again. However, it is worth paying attention to the more meaningful actions that developers offer gamers. In Just Cause 3, the overview of Rico Rodriguez's capabilities can be quite large. But this makes no sense - why talk about all the secret places and what you can find there, because in this case they cease to be secret. Itâs better to say a few words about the most basic activities that can attract you. First of all, itâs a test. Secondly - the capture of bases. Tests are certain tasks that you need to perform, meeting the allotted time or observing specific conditions. What does this give you? Tests are not too much fun and do not shine with variety. But they give you the opportunity to discover new features and capabilities of all your devices, such as a hook, wingsuit and so on.
It is much more interesting to look at the second point - the capture of enemy bases. More precisely, the destruction of these objects, because this is a game about explosions. And you will not capture anything. This feature was present in previous games, but it was executed rather sadly. All bases had a similar structure. And their destruction was the same. You had to arm yourself to the teeth, dive into the camp, lay explosives and get out of there as soon as possible. In the third part, everything became much more interesting. Each base has its own unique structure, and now it is not so easy to get into the territory - let alone air maneuvers. In general, it was this element of previous games that needed to be improved most of all. And the developers did the job perfectly. But this cannot be said about everything in the Just House 3 project - a review of the game should also shed light on shortcomings.
Orderliness
Naturally, there were some shortcomings. More centrally about them will be said closer to the end of the review. And now, in general terms, the biggest minus of the Just Cause 3 XL Edition project will be described. A review is simply required to contain this information. As you already perfectly understood, the whole essence of the game is to create complete chaos by blowing up everything you want. It would seem that in such a game promotion should be carried out in the same chaotic manner, at a frantic pace. But it was here that the developers managed to spoil the impression. What does a standard task look like? Your task is to free a couple of provinces from yoke. How to achieve this? Empirically, you can find out that to liberate one province, you need to destroy a certain number of bases located on its territory. And for this, in turn, you need to blow up the marked objects.
And do not rejoice that there will be a large number of explosions. If you arbitrarily capture the base, then you can do whatever you want. Here, your task is limited to laying explosives, moving away and blowing up. That's all. Only a couple of times during the whole game you will be offered some original solution. For example, the explosion of a bridge to cut off enemy troops from reinforcements, but these are, rather, exceptions to the rule. Moreover, even a small reprisal against the population of the enemy base will be spoiled by the fact that after stripping you will need to spend three times as much time to make sure that the current tasks are counted. Just Cause 3: Sky Fortress add-on changes the situation a bit - the review, however, concerns only the original game. And the changes there are not too impressive. The main disadvantages still remain.
pros
It doesnât matter on which platform you play this project. No one will say anything if your choice to play Just Cause 3 is PS4. The review covers all platforms. Therefore, you can safely read it without fear of missing something. So, it's time to take stock - what is the positive thing about the project? Firstly, it is worth noting the scene, that is, the island of Medici. He is actually huge. You will need a lot of time to just cross it from one end to the other on foot. Therefore, you are not recommended to do this. Moreover, it is not only huge, but also incredibly beautiful. You can enjoy the beauty of the environment all the time. The landscape is picturesque in the city, in the forest, and in the open. And especially everything is beautiful when you look at it from a bird's eye view.
Secondly, it is worth noting the new gadgets. And first of all - wingsuit. It allows you to diversify the gameplay, making it more enjoyable and rich, eliminating the need for many minutes of walking. As a matter of fact, ropes, hooks, an infinite amount of explosives - all this can also be safely added to the pros, since it is these devices that allow you to do whatever you want. But it doesnât matter - the main advantage of the game is explosions. You can let anything you want into the air. You can blow up the finished building. Or build something, and then destroy it. The explosions are spectacular, beautiful. They are impressive and pleasing. And for their sake, it's worth playing Just Cause 3.
Minuses
A review of Just Cause 3 on a PC, of ââcourse, will not tell you exclusively about the advantages of the project, because it also has disadvantages. It is immediately worth noting that the world, although it is visually beautiful, is still not as diverse as we would like. If the developers rejected realism, then it would be possible to make a slightly more original development of cities and settlements. And so in the game, most of the designs are the same residential buildings, which are annoying to blow up after the fifth attempt.
If we are talking about explosions, then I would like to once again note the plot tasks, which are forced to literally destroy "for show." That is, to recruit a certain number of destroyed buildings in order to complete a task consisting of four or five such points. All the charm of randomness, uniqueness and unbalance of this project is lost. Well, and, of course, it should be noted that the world, although large in size and offers an unlimited number of opportunities, does not create the conditions for them to use one hundred percent. You simply will not have the motivation, incentive to complete the creative process. Of course, in this case the multi-user mode will help. But it is worth recognizing that I would always like for the single-user mode to be as full as possible.
System requirements
Well, the review of Just Cause 3 has come to an end. System requirements are the last moment that should be considered in more detail. The fact is that the game was published at the end of 2015. That is, it is extremely advanced in all areas, including the graphic component. And this means that the requirements for it may be too high for your computer. So your task at the moment is not to rush to buy a new game, but carefully compare the requirements for it with the indicators of your current equipment and its capabilities. If they do not meet the necessary indicators, then you better spend money on an upgrade. Especially considering that all subsequent innovations will also require an extremely powerful computer.
So, the operating system that you will need to run the game can be any. But its version should not be lower than Vista - unfortunately, old-school XP fans will not be able to enjoy the new product. Please note that the bit depth of your system should be 64 bits - 32-bit systems will not work. As for the processor, in accordance with the minimum requirements you will need a quad-core unit with a performance of at least 2.8 gigahertz. But still it is recommended that their performance is about 4 gigahertz. Then this awesome game will work at full capacity. To do this, you also have to take care of the RAM. The minimum requirements for it are six gigabytes, but everyone knows that RAM is the main element of the computer in matters of games. Therefore, the more RAM, the better. Well, if we talk about official requirements, the developer recommends having eight gigabytes of RAM. The video card must have two gigabytes of memory. But you should definitely think about what species will open from a bird's eye view. Therefore, do not aim at the necessary minimum - it is better to achieve the maximum or at least the recommended three gigabytes of video memory.
Gamer ratings
What did Just Cause 3 score from gamers get? Perhaps the factor of expectation of something more played here, or maybe the game just falls short of the level of its predecessor. But the ratings put forth in the third part turned out to be rather low (compared to the expected ones), and the user reviews were mixed. It makes no sense to focus on what points are put by various specialized magazines. All this is subjective and does not cause much interest. It is much more reliable to rely on the opinions of thousands of gamers. And in this case, the result is not the most comforting.
Only 67 percent of reviews written by gamers from around the world were positive. This is far from the most impressive result. Especially when compared with the second part, in which the proportion of positive reviews is as much as 93 percent. In general, in terms of ratings, the third game fell to the same level as the first. An interesting fact is that the estimates of these two parts coincide. Thus, you can try a new game, but still Just Cause 2 remains a legend, and the new product is just a middle peasant. At least that's what many users think.
