Just Cause 4 Day 1 Edition - Xbox One

The game is like Just Cause 3 but with one slight annoyance that will make fans not wanting to finish it. The game is still sandbox but you don’t take over bases like previous games where you would destroy all the oil tanks and communications. In this game its not the objective. You have to complete missions that are preset for you to follow. Once you finish a mission you take over that base. I was very much disappointed in this change because it makes the game less fun to do whatever you want rather than follow missions. In the previous games the missions were basically optional because you could unlock the final boss fight without having to do the main story missions up to a certain point. Another disappointment is the major lack of graphics quality in the cut scenes. The prerendered scenes are terrible. The scenes that generate during missions are so much better. Not sure what this developer is thinking but I don’t have high hopes for Just Cause 5 if this is how its going to be. SquareEnix needs to get back the original JC team because this isn’t the Just Cause that I played when I was in High School. Just Cause 2 was the best one.

I can't quite understand why this game would get anything less than a 9 out of 10. The scope of the map and what you can do in the game by going at any Mission anyway you want with absolute freedom it's something that never gets old. Call of Duty or fortnite or any other restrictive hallway shooter can't hold a candle to Just Cause 4. People try to argue that some missions are repetitive but fail to realize that multiplayer Deathmatch games that are so popular are the most repetitive die respawn, die respawn no brain games that have ever existed. Just Cause series is a breath of fresh air. Just Cause 4 simply takes that same formula of open world freedom and endless possibilities and overhauls it with improved gadgets and physics to make it the best Just Cause to date. I hope I never see the day that games like just cause don't exist due to the masses of millennials calling for unimaginative games with no point where you play with random people just to scream at them with headsets on for a quick fix. For now I'm going to thoroughly enjoy this latest edition of Just Cause and look forward to Just Cause 5.

Just Cause 4 is a great addition to the series. It adds so much more to the tether tool in the game but has a couple of downsides as well. The main game play loop is a lot of fun. Explosions are epic and the Tethering tool is a blast to use. Story is ok, but who is really playing Just Cause for the story? The tether tool has so many more capabilities. I took off one star mainly for this one issue I had with the game. The physics seem off. Cars flip out when adding boosters to the point where it feels like they have no weight and the same goes for a lot of things in the game. Nothing feels like it has weight at times. I miss the weight that Just Cause 3 had. Other than that, it's a blast to play if you like explosions and fooling around with the Tether.

I really enjoyed the last game. Even though they were repetitive missions, you knew what you needed to do. This game they added too many extra things that really don’t feel like they add too much overall. Balloon grappling hook? Boring. Having to advance troops? Boring. I enjoyed taking over towns and having to do a certain amount of damage and tearing down statues. It was fun. All that seems to be gone. Now all you do is flip switches. Zzzzzzz. It’s still a fun game, but just doesn’t compare to the last one.

Awesome gameplay and physics and destruction. Some areas feel empty compared to JC3. The graphics took a hit and look like it's running on medium on PC settings. Just cause 3 was gorgeous but had issues with FPS. That was fixed on Xbox X. The animations and character models are awesome. I dont know why they decided to strip Rico of his signature pistols and duel holsters. He looks like Rico on hiatus. I hope they implement skins for then the wing suit and parachute. Still one of my fav game series ever.

It's a good game flawed by a TON of bugs that have to be fixed by the developers. While I thoroughly enjoyed all of the previous JC games, 4 has so much ridiculous potential it's amazing. Still, even with all the mayhem you can create something always happens BADLY because of a bug or two that haven't been fixed. Soon, hopefully though. I do trust the devs as they've shown over the years to create and polish some serious great games.

If you like collecting things, blowing up things, and all the mini games in GTA or JC3 then get JC3. JC4 does not nearly have the content JC3 has, unfortunately. JC4 has Bad graphics and no 100% chaos locations nor collection completions (other than vehicles). If you're considering getting JC4, then wait until it's $20. I love the JC series however I feel as this game has been story focused and not enough side missions. Disappointing...

I purchased this game when it went on sale, and even then I still kind of feel that it is overpriced. This game is probably the most solid example of a game just tweaking a few minor things, putting it in a new location, and calling it a day. Sniper Elite is another one of those games but for some reason I like those iterations more than the Just Cause series. I think this game needs to be put to rest.
