that's not the XBOX ONE version...
it says "Exit To Windows" on the menu screen and there's a Steam achievement that pops up about 14 minutes in

"The Di Ravello Militia, or as it's more often called, the DRM, has been tossed out."
I really hope that's a deliberate pun.

And the setting too. It's great they took a gamble and placed it where too few other games go. Hopefully they'll be able to do it justice, but so far that looks to be the case, fortunately.
Awesome a fellow country men got in the game i love this version of firestarter.
Just pre ordered it on gmg for 36 euro's. Feels good man!

This is PC footage. Same as posted earlier in the thread.
I was just thinking the same, is there one?
A friend told me it's on the 29th. Based on what I've played I'm expecting 8s and 7s.
Not that review scores bother me much, but JC2 was a solid 8 in terms of review scores, and that was a cracking game.

I was interested (not hyped), but somehow the official one hour gameplay video 'killed' my interest. Story seemed goofy and uninteresting (no big surprise and not what I expected) but gameplay wise it didn't seem to be that crazy, more like fun for 1-2 hours and then you've seen everything there is. But maybe it's one of those, you have to play it to understand it thing. Right now this is a "steam sale" buy for me.
Not even remotely interested in the story, JC, for me, has always been about traversal and blowing shit up, and for me, that never gets old!!, even after 100 hrs!
Yeah, from what I have watched they really have improved the story and overall presentation. It is almost GTA-esque in a way in terms of the humor and how it is presented. Which more than works for me.
The only thing that I don't care for (which won't affect me buying the game) is the new face and voices for known characters.
Also, I wish there was a desert like area. I loved the desert in JC2. My favorite place to mess around. Really excited to see all the different environments in this.

JC 2 topped gta 4 and 5 in fun factor for me.
maybe its just my bias towards tropical islands over cities, but goddamn did i have blast with that game.

, it will be the end of me and my career.

Is this one of the largest install sizes for a current gen game so far?

GTA and Battlefield are over 60GB
Yeah, I don't think many have broken the 50GB barrier. The only other games that come to mind are BLOPS 3 (58.3GB) and of course GTAV (64.4GB).
Edit: Others include Elder Scrolls Online (a touch over 50GB), Call of Doggy: Advanced Woofare (~51.2GB) and NBA 2K15 and 16 (~51GB and ~52GB, respectively).
Ah, so I was remembering correctly and Steam was just being mean to me.
It'll be fine.Ah, so I was remembering correctly and Steam was just being mean to me.
I deleted it just to be safe. Only lost 100ish MB. Not risking anything since I have to download it and then backup/install it on my gaming rig (fucking bandwidth caps)

Apparently the game was programmed with Google Calendar. Pretty impressive imo
Great interview i love how avalanche looks at the community and takes a lot of inspiration from it.

That first hour of playtime just screams Naughty Dog levels of talent.

Given how fantastic Mad Max works on PC (multi-GPU scaling, graphics, gameplay etc.), I cannot wait for Just Cause 3!
No FOV settings, one of the few TPS that give me motion sickness, hope JC3 doesn't cause me grief.
Yeah its a duplicate of the first hour they posted on the official Just Cause 3 channel.
I'm going to grab it on PC.

See, I like goofy stereotypes and mild comedy in games. It is why I love Street Fighter for instance. I think there needs to be a bigger place for games like that in the industry.
Unfortunately I feel the same. Watched 20 mins of the Giant Bomb lets play the other day and had just lost interest by then.
One of the main things that I'm skeptical of is the new wingsuit. It just looks like it will kill variety and make so much other stuff in the game redundant. Why use any of the vehicles when you can just fly everywhere? Why bother engaging in any combat on the ground when you can just hover above and obliterate everything below with a rocket launcher?
I say this as someone who liked JC2 alot though, so I'll remain open minded and look forward to impressions when it comes out.

Jc2 was just a rediculous fun toy box and this seems to have way more toys .
I'm sure it might get boring after awhile but dem explosions!

Their base game size is much smaller than that though.

TBH the thing I'm looking forward to most is driving around, hopefully getting into some chases and using the "Turbo Boost" function.
Nice. Appreciate the lighthearted tone of the notes. Glad to see LOD optimizations. Hope the framerate can handle larger explosions better as well.
It pains me that I'll have to wait until Christmas to play this. I'm already juggling Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, Fallout 4 and Tomb Raider. Plus, my wife made me promise to save a game for an XMas gift. What a great "problem" to have. This has been a hell of a 4th quarter!
Speaking of the driving, the physics look night and day better. Should make all of the races and daredevil jumps fun.
I will enjoy this.

Yup, that's why I'm waiting. Played only 2 or so hours of it but will wait till the day 1 patch hits.

Just like with Mad Max, if reviewers don't play the day 1 patch, it can influence the reviews. That patch fixes some seemingly impactful issues.

It was the same in JC2. No reason to use the vehicles as using the parachute to traverse(and the superman mod) made using them redundant. It was just fun to load up a bus with explosives and drive it off a cliff into a base. Or surfing an airplane shooting other planes or targets on the ground.
