Yeah tis indeed frustrating, particularly when the same studio delivered such a great experience with Mad Max using the same engine. If it was Batman as the lead character instead of some relatively unknown Rico dude there would be media uproar.

Can I drop any vehicle off at any garage? I am trying to get a jet to that first garage you unlock but one time It blew up just before but the voice over person said I needed to take it to some other garage anyway?
Also did it not support steam cloud before? and now it doesnt?

Would agree, the repetition is already starting to get to me and I am finding that I am logging out comparatively quickly each time I play. There is only so many times you can visit and similar looking town and knock down similar looking signposts, destroy similar looking speakers and pull down a similar looking statue whilst killing a seemingly unending global superpower sized army of infantry who have the tactical ability and accuracy of stormtroopers.
Its not a bad game but it really hasnt hooked me in the way I had hoped it might. Frankly, I enjoyed Just Cause 2 more.

A bit more JC3 as I saw it at its best tonight!
I thought I'd create the Fun Ship- I landed a chopper on (what I think is?) the biggest military boat in the game, at the one of the early rebel islands, right down south:
I then thought i'd pilot it to the first garage you unlock, which was 18 or so km away I think? It got stormy quite quickly:
It turns out the military vehicles can only be added to rebel drop by taking over bases. I realised I needed to take over Porto Tridente in the very north west corner of the map :sigh:. Mega boat trip again! This time with a sun set.
It really is a very pretty game!
After a long night cruise I finally reached my destination and just before dawn I began the naval assault:
The plan for the helicopter was that if my boat started going down, I'd quickly jump into the chopper and make my escape, with the plan that the boat would have taken out the AA guns... but when the army took issue with my boat they took out the chopper first
I took out the ******* enemy copter though!
Shortly after this I died for no reason :/

Played around 2 hours so far and not really my game to be honest but still fun for a quick lunch time chaos 
I found a Snowman. On the BEACH!
I've also found a few remembrance plaques with peoples names on, I can only assume colleagues or family members that died during production.
I've got to the Jet mission in the storyline. And I'm finding it incredibly annoying with Mouse and keyboard. SO much so I quite in frustration. 'Homing missiles' are anything but.

Having watched reviews and such for this game before playing it, I was expecting it to get boring fast, but darn is it fun. I'm surprised at how fun the side challenges and wingsuit courses are, I heard they were supposed to be terrible. In one machine gun challenge, I cheesed it by using a nearby attack chopper to easily wreck the score. I wonder if I can abuse this for the other challenges, hehehe? The day 1 DLC nonsense annoys me a bit, even though I got one included with my Collector's Edition.
I've grabbed a few mods like the cooldown remover, intro cutscene remover and infinite beacons for the rebel drop. Handy stuff and I can't wait to see what else gets made.
The game looks and runs great for me, the only issues I've had are the crash when closing the game and one instance where the game wouldn't load after I firewalled it to stop it connecting online. Online mode in this game is pointless, I hope they patch it out. Most folks don't care about leaderboards.

I think that is a bug when you have a certain weapon mod enabled. It's the one that allows you to aim down sights, Precision Aim? Disable that and you will be good to go!
That makes sense as I just unlocked it. Will try it tonight without that enabled.
