Bought it yesterday and spent about 4 hours on it. I can recommend it. It’s lots of fun and the scenario is... well... not too bad :)

You do need a pretty massive configuration though. I run everything almost maxxed out (except the anti-aliasing) and I jumped between 35 and 60fps... Not fantastic... (i5-750 with a R9-280x).

I also had to upgrade to 16gb of ram today as it lagged with the 8gb I had until now. No problem since the upgrade though...

Anyway, if you have a good configuration, go for it, it’s lots of fun!

Oh yeah and I forgot: the game is 51gb to download lol

One easy way to get a little better performance out of the game is run it in offline mode. The server pings cause an awfully high amount of slowdown.

Hum, interesting, I’ll try it out... I haven’t had much slow down for now though... Only when I load the game, the first 15 seconds...

Loved JC2. Played the demo 5-10 times before deciding I had to buy the game.

But I looked today and couldn’t find 3 for a decent price. Given that I expect childish over-the-top action and a childish story, I can’t justify paying full price. I’ll buy it in 6-12 months and I’m sure I’ll love it :)

Yeah, I have a GTX 960 so it struggles a bit on max settings. Still fun, though.

From what I’ve seen in the trailer it look like fun. However I’m not sure if my laptop with a i7-3630QM and AMD M4000 is going to be able to run it, in a smooth way.

Yeah it won’t like it for sure :)

That is reasonably cheap. I’d be buying for PS4, so more expensive :(

Fantastic game, but I still prefer the masterpiece that was Just Cause 2 to the new game.

It’s a pretty good place for cheaper games... Works very well, but they can be annoying with the ID they keep on asking at every purchase (a bug I have to face because I pay with a Canadian PayPal while living in Japan...)

I played Just Cause 2 so long ago that I actually barely remember it :)

Just Cause 2 is compatible with the Xbox One and I got it for free when I bought Just Cause 3. JC3 is a gorgeous game, but JC2 is simply better.

I don't have a gaming capable computer, just a PS3, so until I get a PS4 whenever they get cheap I won't be playing it unforortunately. But I still have JC2, and this is making me want to play it again. It's been a while, and that's such a good game
