is it "just cause", as in the cause is just, or is it as in "just because" lacking proper punctuation?
why are you killing those dudes? just 'cause.

People should go back and watch the cutscenes from the original. Those are some of the worst ever produced. These are *insert your favorite director* good in comparison.

On the subject of VA, anyone know if Victor 'Goddamn' Sullivan (Richard McGonagle) is back for this one?

There's also people glitching the demo timer on youtube.keyrat said:
I have just run into an issue where on my gamepad, the Y sensitivity when pushing the stick DOWN is way higher than pushing it up. Up is what it should be, whereas pushing the stick down causes me to immediately look at the floor. It's kind of unplayable and I can't figure it out for the life of me 
EDIT: after trying three times, I exited/reconnected my controller for the fourth and it's back to perfect... very disconcerting stuff...

I climbed to the top of the tower the other day and then shot out the supporting cables while still holding on to the antenna. Fun stuff.GHG said:

Exactly. Anyway, its all good. I'm still working through God of War 1 and 2 for the first time, so I can make do with not picking it up day 1. I'm also deeply susceptible to games with jetpacks and/or grappling hooks.Hawkian said:
What can I say, I have a weakness for awesome.
And to the guy wondering about playing Just Cause 1. I wouldn't suggest it. The gunplay is about as bad as it could possibly be, and you don't have nearly the mobility you do in Just Cause 2. Its a night and day improvement.
I will say this though - the environment in Just Cause 1 seems more colorful, vibrant, and pleasant than what we see in the demo for JC2.

I have never been as addicted to a demo as I am to this one. Shoot, this demo is more addicting than some AAA games. I just go back time after time. I am finally getting the hang of using the grapple to continue pulling me while I am using the parachute and like someone said, its like Spider Man 2 all over again just a million times funner. I also found that tank with the rocket launcher attached and all I can say is OH MY GOODNESS! I JUST CAN'T STOP PLAYING!!!
Oh, and using the helicopter to cut down the cords of the tower is just pure fun. If anyone wants to know a real easy way to get a helicopter, from where you start out, ride one of the oxygen tanks up in the air, turn around and you will see a little town high in the mountain, get the helicopter and use it to cut down the tower lol.

I just meant it was a stupid move. I definitely wasn't calling you stupid.
I reconsidered though. The smarter move would be to go GOW 3 on March 16 with a $10 coupon and then preorder Just Cause with the coupon and get the $15 on the 23rd. That way you can get both and get $25 free instead of $10 or $15.Charmicarmicat

I can't get the 360 demo because I'm only silver, any opinions as to which one is preferable, or are they pretty similair?
Wow, just did the glitch to stop time. PS3 version.
But you know what? The best part is that now you can explore the whole island.
I was driving a tank around and thought to myself "hey, where am I? This looks different from the rest of the area". Then I look at the map and notice that I'm really far away from the restricted area. :lol
Though I'm still not sure if I want to spoiler myself.

What platform are you playing? I saw some PC videos where the guy does that and I can't for the life of me replicate it
And I agree that it's addictive :lol When I found out that the timer didn't permanently disable my PSN account from playing like some other demos, I was pretty happy.
At the moment I've been seeing what I can attach to the plane and helicopter and still be able to fly. I've found that unfortunately cars are too heavy for a plane to tow, but they can tow people ad objects pretty well :lol
Next mission is to fly to the maximum altitude (whatever that is) with a chopper, carrying a car. I'm gonna see if I can skydive into the car by grappling it in freefall before we both hit the ground.
Day one buy, and I'd completely forgotten that Just Cause existed until this morning when I DL'd the demo.

Edit: Awesome thanks.
Actually, scratch that part. Turns out everything gets really glitchy from some point. Ocean clashing with terrain in the most glitchy way, cars flying and droping right into the ocean, things upside down... madness. :lolheringer said:Wow, just did the glitch to stop time. PS3 version.

Well, you can still explore a whole lot more, except it doesn't look like it's "done", because I didn't catch any new locations.
I'm actually glad, because I wouldn't resist spoiling myself with all the areas. :lol

Worked like a charm to me.
To get rid of the red box you need to do a mission.

I've been driving around outside the demo area for quite a bit, it gets crazy at the edges of the map where the physical landscape stops loading. Cars spawn and fall into the ocean, the roads just stop dead and you can see blue hell underneath.
It started raining too, not sure if it does that in the 30 minutes you get. It might be random, but I've never had rain within the 30 minute session. Rain and lightning effects are just amazing.
It felt like the Truman Show when I drove passed the coloured map area and into the greyed out map :lol

Can you save replays locally, or are they uploaded straight to YT? If you can save them straigh to HD then thats sold me on the PS3 verison.
this game is straight BEAUTIFUL
I did that little youtube trick..
I went off the regular demo map, and OMG flying around with the Sun setting....and then the night time scene...and then Morning....man it just looks so real.....then I just eventually sky dived and parachuted into the ocean and now while I'm just making my way around the water.....and then went underwanter....but that was kind of scary cause it was so quiet and empty with the weird music...(I still get flash backs of the Sharks from Crysis)...so I just stayed above water....
then it started to rain and it was a storm....and you could see lightning behind the clouds in the sky....
yeah I'm getting this game for sure now.
edit- it's just crazy what they are able to do with this engine, I have to see more.
oh I manned up and went deeper into the sea.....I kind jumped because I saw a fish come out of nowhere....god knows what else the full game will have.....and yeah that is enough exploring for now... I'll wait till the game comes out.

You can choose if you want them to be sent to YouTube or just saved to your harddrive.
This game is so ridiculous and far fetched it's addicting. I've had a ton of jaw dropping things happen to me in this demo just today. I opened up the pda and zoomed out......OMG the demo just scratches the surface. This game went from a complete pass to a Must Own in a matter of an hour.

Man, this has got to be one of the best demos I've ever played. It's about time a game focused on fun without worrying about how much sense it makes.

Wait how do you do the time trick on the PS3
well I tried to fly as far as possible from the land......god knows how long I was flying for..... I could still see the land way off in the distance (but for some reason on the map it made it seem like I was still right next to an island).....
well it just keep going and going..and nothing.... I finally gave up and crashed the plane into the water....and while I was in the water....I said f'it and went deep as I could....and to my surprise, eventually hit the ocean floor.....and saw more fishes....swam along the floor for about 10 seconds before my guy drowned.

Once you have unlimited time you can play all the missions in the demo, but it's kind of pointless because if you buy the game you'll only have to replay them anyways. At least in the full game it will save them at "friendly" points when you die. In the demo if you die when you're not in a mission you'll always respawn at the starting base.Afrikan said:

Does the timer glich work on the 360?
Kasumi1970
my name is Ted
also has anyone tried to throw a grenade at the set of 3-4 fuel containers that fly straight up into the air...
right after you throw it...aim at one of the top of the containers...and try to time it right before the grenade goes off, and shoot your grapple hook to the top of the container...
the explosion from the grenade will launch all 4 of the containers, including the one you are hooked to.....now while being launched into the air aim for one of the other containers in sight and grapple hook to it....
it goes pretty higher....I'm guessing because there was no initial body weight when it first launched....either way you launch pretty high.

This keeps happening. It's really fucking frustrating. Other things are wrong with the controls when this happens too- I can't roll, and the grapple and fire buttons both lower my aim slightly each time I press them. WTF.
Aselith said:I just meant it was a stupid move. I definitely wasn't calling you stupid.
Okay, getting ready to make this move myself. As it turns out, though yes, it's only a $10 credit for GOW3, the game itself is $56.99, not $59.99, so you're saving a liiittle bit more going with Amazon preorders. I sure do not like the Apollo skin anywhere near as much as the Phantom of Chaos skin, but the preorder gun from Amazon for JC2 sure does look pretty cool.
Man I am getting sick of these different preorder bonuses from different storefronts. And Steam still gets nothing for the moment, right?
EDIT: NO clue what I'll use the $15 credit from JC2 for later. I really never buy games on Amazong :lol

Yup. Such a lame trend, but at least there is some talk that they might make them all available sometime after release. The only one I'd really want is the hovercraft, but no way am I buying this game from Walmart.Hawkian said:
