Just Cause 2 |OT| of No Thread Name Can Do This Game Justice

- Start date
Awesome. So, during the demo thread I mentioned a glitch where my left arm disappeared and I lost use of my grappling hook and secondary weapon until the countdown timer ended.
Well, I just encountered something a bit more serious and a lot less fun. While I was playing about an hour ago, all of a sudden my view locked and I was stuck staring at the ground. I made a futile attempt at running away, died, and got annoyed with the glitched and quit the game.
So, I loaded up my save just now. I still can't look around. No use of the right analog stick. I freaked out and thought my controller broke, but that's not the case. The right stick works perfectly fine in other games, but Just Cause 2 appears to have saved the god damned glitch. And, as I was getting ready to pack the game up and send it back to Gamefly I checked the options screen. The game set my aim sensitivity to 0 and reverted all of my other settings. Yeah, that's a reasonable thing to happen.
All audio options were put at 1, as well. HUD opacity on 0, all display options turned to "off." The game violently turned off every single option it had.
edited because I checked the options screen. Playing on PS3.

Both escort missions were easy.
I made the mistake, however, of starting the game on the higher than normal difficulty.
Without a good cover system and decent AI, well, it makes the fuck-around-in-a-sandbox experience a lot less fun.
I'm still pretty early in the game so I might start over.

I really don't know shit about editing videos and stuff like video size and compression...but I toiled on this creation for a good portion of the day because I just HAD to make it when I started fucking around with the Agency boat...

Available in 1080p I guess, who knows. Consider this an entry in the contest.

I'm thinking I shouldn't submit anymore, though. Too many videos and I get a big advantage. :lol

Both escort missions were easy once you realized that there wasn't so much bad AI as there was no AI whatsoever, and the person you are escorting will do nothing at all to prevent their own death. If you run ahead instead of following like the game prompts then it's easy. Unless, of course, Tom runs in front of your stream of machine gun fire because he saw something shiny over on the other side of the path.

I don't get this complaint - are you not upgrading the weapons?Snuggler said:
Speaking of framerate, what's the deal with the cutscenes?
It runs fine during gameplay (PS3) but during the cutscenes the framerate drops like crazy, plus they look worse than the actual gameplay.
I haven't upgraded them yet, aside from maybe one or two weapons. I'm sure that'll help with the damage issue.

That's because there's less icons on it.
Go into the regular map during gameplay, and then select "hide all" for the legend options, the map will be super smooth lol.
Speaking of the map, has anyone noticed weird flickering while looking at the map or during a black market extraction??
I'll be looking at the map and like random black 'flashes' happen on the screen. It sometimes happens in the Pause Menu too. Doesn't happen during gameplay, and none of my other games do it. My PS3 is only a couple months old too since I replaced my original 60GB.

It's the same on the 360, though I think everything looks better for the most part. The most annoying thing for me technically is the loading during cutscenes, but especially when I call the black market dealer. I don't care for realism, I want that menu called up right when I hit the button, I don't need a loading screen and a mini cutscene.
That's not the case, I tried that and it still runs at the lower clip.
I just encountered another strange bug. The game started spawning traffic in the wrong direction, both lanes were going the same direction. After going in the right lane for a while dodging traffic I finally caught up with some cars going in my direction.
Man, this game is so beautiful. I flew one of those very large passenger planes you find at the airport. I flew it between lots of clouds while watching the sun go down.
Some scenes in this game have never been done so greatly in any other game before.
I got the 360 version sent to me one day early, I've been playing all day

I just arrived at the LOST island. So awesome.

I've been looking over the last several pages and I can't find the co-ordinates to the LOST island, only the videos of it. As much as I'd like to find it on my own, considering the size of this game it would probably take forever. I need to see it.
Unrelated, but adding music to your youtube video is cool.

I'd tell you but I don't know how to black out spoilers on Neogaf. Anyone help? :lol
Snuggler said:
The coordinates of the hatch on the island are
17XX by 43XX I think. It's the northwest most island on the map and the hatch isn't far inland from the southern shore.
There's some really cool stuff that's not related to Lost. Though I did see a (season 6 spoiler from a few episodes back)

Wow, the desert location they chose for the demo is by far the ugliest environment I've seen so far. The full game has some much nicer views.

SO TRUE, I'm so glad I went out and got that wired Mad Catz 360 controller. It's like playing a completely different game. Best $25 ever spent. I'm just amazed at how awesome it is to use a pad with this game. Game is running lean.

I'm with you - rather, it's the most boring. The snowy mountain tops and LOST island have been my favorite so far.

Its probably just a 32 bit executable so it can't see anything more than 4GB of RAM. Its no big deal, the game isn't heavy on RAM usage and the same happens for me as well.
This is nothing I'm going to submit, but I was having fun doing this to random vehicles.

Pt. 1 was inspired from one of the earlier missions in the game where you're on top of that dude's car. This was the method I used to wipe out all enemy pursuers.
