couldn't get into the controls at first, but man it was worth it.
also was basically baffled at first what this game was all about, but it's just so simple and addictive really. can't stop playing it. stupid world cup getting in the way.

i've realised what this game reminds me of, Midwinter 2 FoF. and in some similar ways, Hunter

just started playing this, and found the mile high club within the first few hours. OMG insanity...
― Ghia (stevie), Monday, 28 June 2010 22:11 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah that's a mad base. the destroying satellites mission is pretty wow too.
love how this is just so simple to play
have resisted its grasp tonight so that i can indulge in a hefty session on wednesday when no football is on.

stuff to blow up gets kinda repetetive pretty quickly, but I'm still enjoying this. I'm still discovering new and unique bases for starters.
Like I was all woaah at flying by 737 happily towards a mysterious island and noticed a large tower in the distance and suddenly BLAM it knocked me out the sky. i'm guessing some kind of emp tower.
just enjoying trying to find all the stuff, like really want to complete the 'driving unique vehicles' list.

I'm still playing the crap out of this game. Passed 100 hours this weekend, and I've collected all the skulls, black boxes and drug drops, 100% of all the towns done (still a few things to find in a couple of the cities) and am slowly wiping out the airfields, harbors and military bases. I think I have a couple of oil rigs left to finish off as well.
Gave up on the story though - kept failing at killing the bosses on top of the towers and decided since the story sucked anyways I'd just do all the other stuff.

ok thx to goole i have this now so here is my rundown
1. pretty fucking fun2. airplane controls suuuuuck so much that i refuse to do the race missions3. weirdly aimless - like the game actually kinda makes it difficult to progress down the storyline a lot of the time by putting tantalizing stuff in the way or making travel lead you through hot zones and whatever.4. it is probable that i am stupid here, but i ran out of plantable explosives and have never found more of them anywhere, which is getting v v annoying at this point.5. this might be one of the worst written games dialogwise ever.6. really looks great - the level of detail is kinda o_O, especially since very little of it is actually functional.

4. Call the black market dealer. If you haven't gotten that ability yet, you just have to hope to find some more.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 28 October 2010 18:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Can someone describe for me what a blissful 30 minutes of this game is like?
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Thursday, 28 October 2010 18:16 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i can call the black market dealer but plantable explosives dont show up so i dont know if i just havent unlocked them yet or?
― O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 28 October 2010 18:18 (thirteen years ago) link
I thought "triggered explosives" were pretty early on. You unlock stuff by causing chaos, so just shoot up some water towers, generators and the like.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 28 October 2010 18:21 (thirteen years ago) link
another thing that keeps coming back to me is that its basically a tropical locale mapped onto the basic functionality of red faction guerilla with batman arkham grappling hook thrown in. its a bizarrely backwards looking game in a lot of ways.
xpost yeah idk, ive blown a ton of shit up. im probably just missing something stupid tbh
― O_o-O_0-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 28 October 2010 18:47 (thirteen years ago) link
When in doubt, blow up more. Maybe try a few faction missions.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 28 October 2010 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link
complete more mission yes, certain missions will unlock checkpoint facilities that contain free weapons + grenades
― F-Unit (Ste), Friday, 29 October 2010 00:14 (thirteen years ago) link
but generally raiding the facilities finds you free ammo anyway

this and Mario Galaxy 2 feel like the choicest morsels i've been missing

Just got this for under £10 from Zavvi - only played half an hour so far and I think I'm going to like it. Can't quite get to grips with the grapple hook controls yet but I'm looking forward to using it for lots of crazy shit away from the story mode. Shoulder buttons being the wrong way around is annoying (R2 instead of R1 to shoot) - dunno if I can change that in the options. Voice acting is *really* bad. Ground combat & transport jacking feels very like Mercenaries 2 which I've played the shit out of.

You can swap the triggers out in the options. You're playing on a PS3, right? I get the feeling it defaults to L2/R2 for shooting because it feels more natural on the Xbox's triggers (and most Xbox FPS's use those buttons).
― muus lääv? :D muus dut :( (Telephone thing), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 01:38 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah PS3 - I'll mess around tonight and get it the same as the Mercs 2 buttons. I also had some difficult working out the weapon swap/pick up that led to me throwing an automatic rifle away and running around with two empty pistols :)
― he's Big but he's not Bobo (onimo), Wednesday, 8 December 2010 11:20 (thirteen years ago) link
just started playing this. got it free with my video card last year and just found the coupon. I like it a lot, but I really really hate the controls. I've tried with both my Xbox 360 controller and keyboard/mouse, and both suck in their own way. Will try to keep going. Dialogue is hilariously bad.
― get off my lawn (rockapads), Monday, 17 January 2011 23:29 (thirteen years ago) link
The story is a giant pile of doo. The fun is just getting around and marveling at the world, finding little hidden temples and explodable whales.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 17 January 2011 23:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Luckily the story keeps out of the way for the most part. But yeah, it's not good.
― polyphonic, Monday, 17 January 2011 23:50 (thirteen years ago) link
I still haven't finished it.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 00:00 (thirteen years ago) link
it's immensely stupid, lah? sure do enjoying fucking shit up though.

― Mordy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 01:22 (thirteen years ago) link
I think I just turned a corner in this game - learning how to "fly" with the chute and grapple. The "ohhhh I get it now" was similar to when I first surfed the electrical lines in InFamous.
― get off my lawn (rockapads), Tuesday, 18 January 2011 04:02 (thirteen years ago) link
great thing to do with this game: climb a mountain to find a citadel, kill everyone in it, blow up everything and then leap off the side of the mountain. unfortunately, this is more or less the ONLY thing to do with this game.

drive really fast on your motorcycle off a cliff, hit your parachute at the last second, glide over beautiful snow capped mountains into a river valley below
― Mordy, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 04:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Speedboats off cliffs are fun too. As is hooking two planes together and watching them death spiral into a city.
Ah, good times.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 05:02 (thirteen years ago) link
i loved this game but there was def a point where the stupidity of the writing and story became more than just "eh". because i kinda wanted the repetition to add up to something, i guess
― goole, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 06:09 (thirteen years ago) link
revisited this recently, bloody loving it. I should be complaing that it's fairly repetetive but somehow I keep finding things to do picking up hidden stuff or randomly destroying government property. My favourite right now is taking out the antenna stations. Twanging the supporting cables with my chopper.
The dialogue is hilarious. There's a mission where you have to pick up some prostitute and the woman who is telling you about the mission constantly bad mouths the 'filthy whore'
sooo many missions too.
― if you wanna gamble, take that shit to vegas (Ste), Monday, 11 April 2011 11:03 (thirteen years ago) link
just got this
& it is hilarious
I'm gonna do the missions over time but just fucking around is def fun. I just like to blow stuff up I think, & then ride away to some new locale, ad nauseum (since I get motion sick in these kinds of games, but it's worth it)
― Euler, Saturday, 15 October 2011 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
that's good for like a week and then the game kinda sputters out.
― loads of personality, loved to chase chickens (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 15 October 2011 00:48 (twelve years ago) link
130+ hours, still haven't finished the story. Beautiful game for silly 20 minute blasts of mayhem.
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 15 October 2011 00:53 (twelve years ago) link
or that too.
― loads of personality, loved to chase chickens (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 15 October 2011 00:59 (twelve years ago) link
yeah that's all I wanted, for $15 that's perfect
― Euler, Saturday, 15 October 2011 02:08 (twelve years ago) link
that's what i felt too, but i think that's because a) i didn't really stick to the missions because the scripts and acting were too dull and (more importantly) b) i found the missions very hard.
― Joe Romeo, Concerned New Yorker (stevie), Wednesday, 19 October 2011 20:49 (twelve years ago) link
yeah like i said, man, nearly a year ago now, the stupidity was an afterthought for much of the game... until it wasn't. there was no reason for the mission design to be so repetitive and for the writing and v/o to be so bad.

this is a fun game for me, i have a million hours in and still not completed but i pick it up every now and again for just a muck about and to do some more missions. a bit like how i play fallout 3 really.

i had something similar happen with my gta:SA game on the 360. was one mission away from completion. almost got that far when i played it on ps2. i'm never gonna finish that game.
(and when i say 'completion', ste, i just mean the story missions. i know you've probs nabbed every morsel of graffiti!)
― There shouldn't be a thread for Dennis Perrin tweets. (stevie), Sunday, 4 August 2013 21:55 (eleven years ago) link
youd better believe it. hundred percent on both ps2 and xbox versions.
but yeah thats tough losing the game so close to the end. even just doing the missions was an epic journey for san andreas.
in jc2 i just like finding and owning all the locations and faction items. i dont think i'll ever finish this one
― prop forward turned celebrity chef (Ste), Sunday, 4 August 2013 22:00 (eleven years ago) link
completing the big city in this one was too damn hard; I got 3/4 of them but on the 4th stuck at like 96% (or more? can't say, has been months). problem is that you can't use the net for help because I do not want to check every single coordinate. obsessive gameplay has its costs
― Euler, Sunday, 4 August 2013 22:11 (eleven years ago) link
white tiger mission is overly long and the worst part of this game.
but goddam its so cool just powering through this game

Picked up JC3 couple of days ago, cheap on Steam that's why.
So it's glitchy as hell and on the whole feels like a clumsy PC production but I can't stop playing despite that. The utterly awful AI coupled with some dodgy physics makes for some interesting stuff, but can make escort missions too frustrating.
I also hate the winged suit addition.
