Just Cause 2

Just been playing this for the past hour and its a very good game. I have to agree that the voice acting is rather bad lol. Graphics are awesome though
 
I was going to mention the awful voice acting, but I've played the demo and am heading out to go buy it now! :p I can't believe how well it runs with very high settings @ 1920x1200 on my rig... must be a very GPU rather than CPU heavy game.

I like it - just gives it more of a B movie type feel.

I guess, although I don't know why Bolo Santosi starts talking about herself in third person about half way through her faction missions, "Bolo is sending you a helicopter!" I think she's crazy. Nyfb cebonoyl n encvfg.
 
How are you all getting on with the skydiving challenges? I can't seem to do it at all, and it's really annoying spawning back at base and having to get all the way across a map and to the top of a very tall building, just to try the skydive again... and fail, again. Any tips?

[edit]And I just realised you can save the game manually rather than just using the auto saves! Stupid me, I was fooled by the console-nature of the game into thinking that wouldn't be possible. So at least I can start right next to the challenge, still can't do the actual skydives though.

It's definitely not CPU limited..my 3 cores are never more than 60-70% usage, even in areas of mass destruction.

My 4850 is definitely the limiting factor on my frame rates....though I still get an average 45fps with everything turned on and 2xAA...more than enough for me.

The skydiving challenges can be tricky. If you're missing above the hoop, press forward to dive more vertically. If you're missing below, you can pull out your parachute to get some horizontal movement. In some areas, especially built up areas, you have the option of using the grapple to help navigate. Finally, if you know you've screwed up a dive, you can deliberately fall into the nearest object so that you die and the game resumes at the start rather than surviving and having to make your own way back.
 
Hows the language in JC2? I mean...is there any or much swearing in it? I know its an 18...but I let my young lad (12) play JC1 and he loved it....but I dont let him play games with lots of swearing etc. Seems to be the way of modern games!
I bought it last week..but havent got round to playing it yet.

Cheers

I am sure he hears worse on the playground ;)

I certainly did by that age - and I was in a pretty tame school!

Thanks :) It took a while but I finally figured out how to control and direct it properly when diving, completed the first couple of challenges now. Still tricky but getting better at it!
 
Completed all the agency missions, last few missions was a lot of fun. Currently at 30% completion so still a lot to do
 
Starting to enjoy this more now, theres nothing quite like popping up over a hillside in a gunship and laying waste to everything you see in a hailstorm of rockets, bailing out before your chopper gos down under fire from the SAM's.
 
Just completed the game :)

Darn, you have to be rather quick on the keys in the last mission. At least I thought so and I was playing Hardcore. Maybe more keys to press?

The End missions were really good. Now its Mercenary mode a while.

Was at 25%, 17 hours completion at the finnish. Rushed the last missions to get the last agency mish.
