That was my experience as well with black flag.
Bar the naval battle which I'm also not very fond of, Unity is a way better game that got battered for being overly ambitious.

Will try resetting my router, but not right now. Really weird as I just came back home after being away for a week :/
You know I was thinking of making a thread about a modern version of Mercenaries, and while JC3 scratches some of that itch, nothing was more fun than laser spotting an airstrike and I really miss that.
Man, I want a new Mercenaries so bad.

downloaded Just Cause 3. Not even 10 minutes into the game, hop in a tank and the FPS tanked to a max 15 fps wtf

Freedom Cry is buggy as fuck. I've had enemies spawning out of thin air as a replacement for a guy I just killed and dead NPCs that I walking over and they get back up. There was also one instance of an enemy sitting on a wall that I wanted to air assassinate, so I climb up a tent and for the split second he's out of sight due to the roof, he disappears. Luckily it's just the funny bugs so far.
Just Cause seems good. My internet is shit so I've been playing around with goat physics on that tutorial island while the rest downloads.

So no fix for the JC3 logging in to servers issue. Guess I'll leave it a few weeks and maybe it will be better when there's less people playing.

Played some Just Cause yesterday on my Pro and the game itself is actually pretty fun.
Legitimately went to the map, zoomed out and thought 'wow, this map is huge' then then realised it was only the first island. Fucking insane.

You'll get used to it once you start wingsuitting, parachuting and flying everywhere. Using cars or travelling on foot (!) is a waste of time in this game. ;p
Yeah the map size is crazy.
I'm enjoying Just Cause but fuck me that frame rate dropping during combat (especially on the PS4 normal) is beyond ridiculous. Then there's the constant disconnecting and reconnecting (even when you switch to offline mode). My understanding is that they went silent post release and then started churning out dlc instead of fixing the game. Frankly Avalanche can go fuck themselves if that's the case.
God I love flying with the wingsuit in this game.
i always found the framedrops when explosions hit very easy to forgive since it added an almost slo-mo-like feature. made you feel all cool walking away from an explosion like in movies.
loving downwell way more than i expected to. its hard as nails but it's very addictive.
It has a strange learning curve. I didn't use to be able to get past caves very often, now I can consistently get a few levels in to the next stage (and I don't even play that much). I feel like you get more confident with the 'physics' of the game.

The game actually performed better on release. The patches made the performance worse!

Enjoying the hell out of JC3 despite server and frame rate issues. Forgot how fun traversal and destruction is in this series.

Yep, it runs like shit, but damn is it fun blowing everything to hell.

I think the server issue is way more annoying than the frame rate drops. It feels like every 30 minutes it tries to reconnect

God damn the Square Enix servers for Just Cause 3 are fucking terrible. Every time I open the damn map. It tries to automatically reach the Square Enix server. Ugh.
You are better off playing this game offline completely, just log off your PSN. It's so god damn annoying.

Just Cause 3 is alright for a PS+ title. I can easily ignore all of it's issues but man I hate the whole "connect to online" loading bars.
It's a shame considering just how fun this game can be.
That's what annoys me the most. I've been disconnecting my PS4 via the network menu.

Yeah, the constant attempt to connect to Square's servers is aggravating. I'm guessing no one's come up with a workaround. Otherwise I've enjoyed the little time I've spent with JC3. Haven't experienced the framereate hiccups but I'm sure they're coming. Btw, what the hell is Rico's background based on (I know it's fictional)? Latin? Italian?!
Also, Downwell is amazing, folks. Give it a try.

Having a lot of fun with Just Cause 3, even with the framerate issues (with some time, I'm used to it and it's not always awful... but when that's the case... yikes...) and the stupid connection problem (solved by setting the console offline, it's a little annoying but whatever), I'm glad it's "free"!
Wondering on buying the season pass, it's 9,99 at the moment, worth it or not? Seems really fun, specially Sky Fortress.

Just Cause 3 is quite a lot of fun to me (as a complete newcomer to the series), but the login thing is downright "these guys should be sued and jailed" stuff. How is it even conceivable that "offline mode" means "randomly try to connect, freezing the game for minutes or even crashing it"? For a shitty leaderboard nonsense nobody wants, even? I assume it's some excuse for an always online DRM shit?
Anyway, the best way to circumvent it seems to be to go to your PS4 options, network, and uncheck "connect to internet", then launch the game. It's easier than logging out of PSN altogether, and I can confirm that as long as you do that before launching the game, it won't try to connect.

You can do it mid game and it'll still stop the nonsense.

Downwell is an amazingly addictive game, but holy fuck is it hard. Furthest I got was the 4th area, and now I'm learning about a hard mode???

Well Just Cause 3 was some hot trash. Bad frame rate, constantly making you log in for some reason, and then logging you out for some reason. You want to skip that cutscene that's boring and dull? Too bad, now wait a few minutes while it tries to log you in despite you not asking it to.
I've had my fun with it, I've done some weird grapple hook physics.
I beat Super Motherload though, that was fun. You could finish that in the times when JC3 decides to log you in.
Edit: I forgot about Downwell, downloading it to my Vita now for some bed time fun.

The main game was pretty buggy too.
Hadn't been really gaming at all this past month - just cause 3 download finishes and I accidentally spend my two off days just dicking around in the open world - this game is like sandbox comfort food. Maybe I'm just not sensitive to the performance issues but I really only noticed fps problems when I was on the extreme end of simultaneous explosions.

For Just Cause 3 loading : play offline.
Yes suck ass method but the long loading comes from Square shitty log in...

I just turn off WiFi completely and enjoy the game. It runs like ass but blowing shit up is fun as hell. And I think I've never played a game in which the driving is so bad, luckily there are more interesting ways of getting traversing the world.

Played some Downwell yesterday finally. Man I am so bad at these kind of games, but I love them. Just wish I was better at them.

Think about check season pass.
Air, Sea & Land extensions are half price or something, tons of fun and great stuff to unlock early to enjoy freely in the main game too

Man, how could Just Cause 3 got any good reviews? Server issues, performance issues, horrible story and after 2 hours, I have the feeling that I already saw everything that this game has to offer. All I do is going to towns or bases and take them back with destroying a bunch of things. Over and over and over and over and over again. That's the whole game. + lame ass Challenges.
Lol wait till you unlock hardmode.
That makes sense.
I got to actually get on their online system last time I played JC3 and the loading times became atrocious. Then the online system gave up entirely.
The game itself is fun.
My save file for Super Motherload corrupted do badly it ended up changing my character and lost most of my progress, boo.
Will try AC some time this weekend.
