Pretty much. Everything is mapped just like the console version. I jumped into it like nothing.
Using the Wireless FYI.
EDIT: Damn! Spoke too soon ... game has locked up and now it refuses to start.

Exactly why it's my GOTY 2010. It just never, ever gets old. Had it for a year or so now and it's just as fun now as it ever was.
For some reason, though, I'm a bit sad that I've destroyed 47 of 49 industrial chimneys. I dunno...I guess just knowing that soon I'll have destroyed all of one certain object in the entire game world is a bit sad. Sorta makes me realize that I'll be done with the game sooner than later (though I've probably got a good 30-40 hours more before I hit ~90% [hitting 100% is practically impossible due to all the unmarked pickups/destroyable objects]).
Just Cause 2 is like my gaming junk food. It's always there installed in my Steam folder waiting for me to come and spend a couple of hours worth of insanity in and although I get tired of it quickly I always come back to it for more a few days later.
Fully open world games aren't generally my thing but Just Cause 2 on the PC is a pretty glorious experience and a severely underrated game, IMO.

You have to buy them with ingame money. And everytime you lose/destroy it, you have to buy it again.

I even have fun driving off of mountains. It's like Plinko but awesomer! Just Cause 3 should be a blast. I hope they have a extra innovation this time. I have a hard time playing open games without grapple + parachute glide mechanics now. Wish it could be modded in Saints Row 2 and 3rd.

I spawned a cheapo heli once, and attached a monster truck to the underside with the rope, and struggled to lift the beast, ended up crashing since that thing outweighed the heli by soo much haha

I'm glad to see that so many people are enjoying JC 2 now. I got it for 40 bucks when walmart did their random price drops (for whatever reason they dropped the prices here in canada on games that ended up being really good and popular like the original batman and borderlands)
This is definately the kind of game that some hacking and modding could make infinitely better but I hope for JC 3 they add in a bit more variety on the weapons and things to do and also maybe add some more vehicles and maybe a wing suit to tool around in. Otherwise I think this game is about as gamey as it gets (and thats a good thing) pick up and blow shit up for half an hour and move on with life.
I think im at 98.02% completion, won't ever get more.

do upgrades carry over for weapons? like if i upgrade my revolver and then pick one up in the wild, will it be upgraded? if not, is there a way to store weapons?
i just found the night club a mile off the ground just flying around via hot air balloons immediately after i shot down the satellite en route to outer space with a stolen military fighter jet
BEST GAME

i might consider doing that.. i can't figure out what exactly unlocks new weapons. just general progress?
man, these enemies have fucking dead-on aim.

Had a strangest bug happen to me the other day. I just loaded up my save game and I was playing and doing a mission where I have to fly a helicopter into a mountain snow area, so i just flew up and held down "W" and looked away for a few seconds. When I looked up and moved my view, there was a screen burn in of the mountain range and the helicopter. It showed up when I was looking normal, when I was looking reverse ("c") but it went away when I went to the map or options menu. If I went back to the game, the burn in was still there, even after reloading a save.
I decided I would just quit and restart, and that bug was gone. But then when I loaded my save, It was one that was a few days old. I thought I maybe loaded the wrong save, but I looked at all my saves and the only one was one that was saved days ago. So somehow I lost a bunch of progress.
Pretty damn annoying. Game is still fun tho

Yeah, general progress unlocks more stuff to buy. Well, general progress and buying DLC (though most of the DLC stuff is frankly pretty throwaway, save for the air propulsion gun, monster truck, and hovercraft).
And yeah, the enemies have ridiculous aim. You really have to roll and grapple a LOT to avoid getting massacred. Also, learn to use the grappling hook during combat. Besides the melee attack, it's also useful for hanging enemies from high objects and the backs of vehicles and stuff. Just experiment, it's a lot of fun.
Okay, after getting this off steam sale and playing it with mods I have come to a conclusion that this is the best game ever. I just keep finding crazier and crazier things to do and my mind is blown at the combination of amazing graphics, open sandbox, which allows you to do anything you want.

omg this game.
First time I've actually felt guilty for paying a perfectly legal sale price. I owe these guys $55.

Are there any mods to make the graphics better?
What I mean is like extending the draw distance, number of peds and cars etc.....

It sold around 1.5 million worldwide. I'd certainly hope that's enough for a sequel.

I thought I read somewhere that Avalanche are in financial trouble and that's the reason they will focus on "smaller" games right now like Renegade ops.
It took Avalanche years of resources to develop their 2.0 engine.

This game is the bee's knees.
Yesterday I was driving the armored vehicle pictures a few posts up when I came across a ramp that was suspiciously built in front of a Baby Panay statue. Being a fine detective, I investigated the ramp at the fastest rate my armored car could manage and discovered the most amazing way to destroy a statue in any game ever.
Next thing on my checklist: Air to air dogfight between helicopters with no weapons allowed but for the grappled stone head that is swinging from the bottom of my helicopter. Scorpio Smash!

I have a ton of videos I recorded on the PS3 version. Glitches, ridiculous stuff, etc. Thinking about uploading them one of these days.
