It really, truly is. Avalanche took the core concept and just handed it to the player. Everything in the world is a giant, destructable toy for us to have fun and fuck around with, and that's all there is to it.

My demo glitched out.
Not sure what I did but I've got access to the entire demo island. I haven't been able to leave the island yet, but it's all open. Every gray area is still gray, but I'm still there.

Yep - I have a feeling that this game is going to spoil me for other future open world games. I just love it so much.
Gather 'round, friends, for I tell of a foreign sport, originating miles from my home in the US of A. Down in this "Panau" place, they like to have competitions. The most prevalent of 'em all is the weekly Colonel Snipe. They get out their trusty sniper rifles, and try to win favor with a panel of judges by sniping so-called "Colonels." Points are awarded for style and range, with bonuses added as the judges see fit. When a Colonel is sniped, the last thirty seconds of the assassination are committed to memory and replayed through a special contraption called "YouTube." When the week is finished, the points for each individual are tallied up, and the top three have their incredible shots put up for all to see. It is a wondrous sport, and I aim to bring it to the masses.
So get sniping, friends! Those Colonels won't kill themselves!

UFRA said:How many submissions can we make for the contest?
If it's only 1, I'm trying to decide whether my base jump fail or the skyscraper kill is better. :/
And that's just what I have so far, still a few days to go, so who knows what will happen yet.
As of now, as many as you want but try to make sure they are good. Don't need anyone submitting them on top of the car just cruising since everyone does that anyway.

I was swimming in the ocean in the middle of a mountain and got catapulted to my death.:lol
I broke that demo really good. Funny watching the AI drive straight off a cliff because the bridge that's supposed to be there wasn't. :lol
If I can get a fraction of the fun out of the full game that I've gotten from the demo, this game will be one of my most played of the generation.

Agreed. I am going to try and have my contest be a monthly thing but we will see how many folks contribute.
Here is my entry (for now):
Car Flip
That was completely on accident, but damn was it awesome :lol
The best part was that I got to keep driving and doing my mission
I thought I was going to fall of the bridge for sure :O
Edit: Here's another. I just named it "LOL" because of what happens..
And one more, Bombs

Ok cool. I'd like to submit my base jump fail video too for now then. If I come up with better stuff I'll replace one of the 2 I have submitted currently to be fair.
Here's the link to that one again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSHhch3FEfQ

LOL nice. That's funny because I was driving that exact same car on the exact same bridge, but a little further ahead I think, and hit one of those stupid dividers when I was looking behind me and had a crazy crash too.
I thought you were going off the bridge too, that light pole saved you.

Fuckin' 360 i gotta dig up my digital camera somewhere..

Yeah autorecord should be "on" if you want to use the 30 second feature.
I've run into this too, I think it's another bug to add to the list lol.
2-3 times now I've suddenly run out of recording space and then it asks me to save my video, but I never even started a capture in the first place, so apparently the "start new capture" command is starting by itself.
Why is no one posting in the Just Cause 2 Youtube Thread?

Because the point of the game is the fun factor and craziness. That's what this thread is for. This game isn't like Mass Effect with story or BFBC2 with multi. The official thread is to show off the craziness and fun.

It's all good. I didn't mean any harm. Plus if you post here you can take part in some contests with prizes for the best videos.Jaroof said:.....................................................Oh. lol
My bad?
I'll post everything here, from now on.

bit the bullet on this and picked it up for $44.95 at Kmart and I'm loving it.
Once this happened and it set all the options in all the menus to the lowest possible value.... Had to set everything back to defaults. Ultra wierd bug. They must have some memory issues because it seemed like the settings all were written to the same value.UFRA said:
I'm having so much fun with this game, I did not expect to like it this much. I'm only 8 or so hours in but this will probably be one of my favorite games this gen. I've always been a fan of sandbox games and this just flat out embarrasses all the others, it's not even close.
Consider this my first attempt, I posted this in the youtube thread.
Drop 'n' Pop - deserves bonus points for Rico's "hahahaha"
It was a close up snipe but not only was I undetected but I also dropped off of a fucking skyscraper and landed directly onto the roof. I'll try to top it next time I play the game.
P.S. I don't know if I mentioned it yet but this game is awesome.
In like a week or so when these current contests are over I'll probably do one of my own and give away a XBLA or PSN game.

Maybe if Activision borrows the grappling hook and parachute for their next Spiderman game, it might actually be fun. :lol

I was doing that too with the eclipse, I got a nice little chuckle when I climbed straight up, put the camera in reverse and saw that the geographic features at the top of the atoll
made a jolly-roger skull.

I was just at that island as well. I'm stuck at 97% completion on the thing. I've been around it 4 or 5 times and can't figure out what that 3% could be, any ideas?
I hadn't actually realised the size of the island until an hour ago.
I was just playing the demo for the fourth time, and doing as much as I could. After it had finished, I decided to watch the outro video for the first time.
I watched as the scope of the island zoomed out once, then twice, thinking 'yeah, that's as big as I thought it would be. Good thing I'm only going to rent this ga-' just as it scoped out a THIRD time. My jaw dropped at the size of the island. That's when I knew...
Day. One.

'Fraid not. I only did a few strafing runs. Looks like you made need to do a little legwork.

That's never happened to me, though funny story, after discovering the Eclipse and trying time and time again to take off from that northern airbase with the runway that's almost too short for it, I finally do it on like my tenth attempt only to crash into one of those Cessna type planes when I started to get some altitude. I don't think I yelled ,"Sonofabitch!" louder in life.
