Anyone who's got nothing better to do, check out this stream:

This guy's running the Bolo patch and is playing around with Airliners, you have to see it to believe how awesome it is :lol.

For the new page. Worth watching. :lol

Man, this PS3 upload thingy is awesome. Some fun flips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faBONV-LEqo

BTW after you upload to Youtube, you can choose Save to HDD, which allows you to have two copies. Pretty nifty.

Private :(

lol I saw the ending coming, I half expected you to turn around like the Joker in Black Knight. This should be the theme to this game

Private vid. I guess all PS3 vids are marked private until you unmark them...weird!

Yep, after you upload you gotta go uncheck every one. I wish it was setup so you could choose not to have it private on upload.

Uploading is surprisingly quick for the 30 second clips, the processing takes a long time for 5min +. Haven't tried 10mins yet.

Actually something with YouTube must be going wrong, because I definitely have it marked public and it says public in my profile. Hmm :(

Edit: Plus, I edited the description and it still says the default "Just Cause 2 footage captured by a gamer" or whatever. :/

jet1911 - you sold a copy of this game based on that one awesome gif :D

If messing with the grapple is what sold you the game then try and get it on PC if you can. An unlimited supply of unbreakable ropes lets you do all kinds of crazy crap.

Avalanche could get away with selling a console version of BOLO Patch as DLC quite easily. Its that awesome.

It would be cooler if we could edit these. No offense to you, but after watching a helicopter flying around for nearly a minute I feel the need to bail out, even if it's before the good stuff happens.

Yeah - sorry. I was wishing that when I first watched it. There's a couple of good bits in there, honest. :lol

See games that have the youtube and screenshot feature is pretty much free advertisement. All games should support it, it's good for the community too, win win all around unless your game sucks.

I haven't even thought about the gif opportunities with this feature. Nice one jet1911.

Absolutely. I'm hoping that this is a trend in future games. I'd love being able to build a library of replays from games. Gives a new meaning to home movies. :lol
 
As much as I love collecting stuff, I'm fairly certain this game is going to kill that love or me in the process of trying to get everything. I just finished up my 100th location at 100%. Only 268 more locations to go! And then there are the wind turbines, gas stations, statues, faction items and item upgrades outside of mapped locations. I haven't even spent much time on the story missions or races. :lol

Such a great, great game so far. It's easily the most fun I've had in a sandbox game in years and on top of that, it looks amazing. Does anyone know if you can get a jet ski?

Just got home, opened up steam, browse my games list..... whats this, Just Cause 2....

100%-READY

It wasn't meant to be released until early Saturday morning in Aus (12hours from now). A boring Friday night has just turned into a night of infinite possibilities.

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 did the same and while I had no problem up to 3.5 hours in, I restarted at normal. I kept a save from Experienced though. Went back today a couple times between and while it wasn't HARD, it was less fun, a bit more tedious.


Game is drop dead gorgeuos though!...

anybody else getting a sweet HD Jungle Strike feel when in a heli and strafing a base?:D

I've been wanting that game updated and I got a little bonus here.

Good point.

So I tried to ride a motorbike down the side of a mountain.
It actually started out pretty well but unfortunately it ended with Rico getting a tree to the face.

That's exactly what I thought last night, a great version of Desert Strike. I see complaints from people stuck at 96% or whatever in a base but trying to find the last piece is the fun bit. Sweeping in low to see if the mobile phone style radar kicks in for a collectible while still scouting to see if it may still be something to shoot instead.

Super game. I hope this sells bucketfuls.

Is anyone else having problems with GFWL accepting the limited edition codes? Says mine are invalid :(

I don't know why it says you need to use GFWL on the card. I typed the code into Steam (Activate a Product).

I can only assume that they either dropped GFWL late in development and the cards had already been printed or they had a work experience kid in charge who thought it would be funny.

You'd think someone would have noticed before they shipped them though.

:lol :lol

Actually one of the best I've seen so far, reminded me so much of Motorstorm.

Anyway, popping down to GAME, so hopefully I'll have one or two videos uploaded by the end of the day if anything awesome happens.

You can save 'em to your HD without uploading to youtube right?
Yes you can.

Just picked up the Limited Edition and some Real Triggers. Normally I don't even wake up for uni this early yet I've been to town and back again before 11am :lol.

Can't wait to get that badass parachute!
