"So, Just Cause 2 is a...Excuse the tardiness!<br /><br />"So, Just Cause 2 is a great game so far, I like open world games, and this is one of the best open worlders I've played yet."<br />I really enjoyed the original Mercenaries, not sure if you played it, but that was my first "open worlder" to complete. I always wanted to go back and beat it a 2nd time, but never did.<br /><br />I was interested in Mercs2, but didn't pick it, just briefly tried the demo for it.<br />Anyway, do you know how closely Just Cause 2 follows the original game for story, and if perhaps the original should be played for the sake of the story? Or, would skipping it and jumping straight to JC2 not be a big issue?coffeewithgameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381995224445934504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024336890775636338.post-10431850269827077252012-08-30T06:20:34.121-07:002012-08-30T06:20:34.121-07:00For the 'storyline' question, I guess I wa...For the 'storyline' question, I guess I was just curious if you had gotten any further along on that front or not. Do you like the story so far, or is it pretty secondary to going around causing chaos?<br /><br />Also - I forgot to add, I like the icon you're using. Boo-ya. :)Chalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024336890775636338.post-85693133475803649642012-08-29T12:07:09.918-07:002012-08-29T12:07:09.918-07:00The storyline is, as I said, you are sent out on a...The storyline is, as I said, you are sent out on a mission to kill an American who betrayed the agency he worked for, to find him you must work for the 3 criminal factions on the islands to get to him.<br /><br />My favorite thing to do is go around and cause chaos, destroying gas stations, giant buildings, and all around, just plain destroying.<br /><br />And the thing I dislike most about it is how with a lot of the vehicles, if you hit a wall even at a fairly low speed, there are a good number of times that it will just get obliterated.<br /><br />Cheese.Chaltirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526206808999058477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024336890775636338.post-33620535865601726002012-08-29T06:20:26.690-07:002012-08-29T06:20:26.690-07:00So out of curiosity, as someone who hasn't pla...So out of curiosity, as someone who hasn't played the game, I guess the things I am most curious about and hope you could answer:<br /><br />- What's the basic storyline/premise<br /><br />- What is your favorite thing to do in the game? Whether it's a specific activity (jumping off of motorcycles at high speeds), mini-game (like Blitzball in FF X), or part of the game (like a leveling system)<br /><br />- What's probably your least favorite thing? Music, graphics bugging out, something doesn't control the way you would want it to?<br /><br />Thanks!Chalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024336890775636338.post-34243790357481038272012-08-28T13:33:39.858-07:002012-08-28T13:33:39.858-07:00Not an official multiplayer, but someone has made ...Not an official multiplayer, but someone has made an actual mod that has actually shown up in the news for the game.<br /><br />it enables a multiplayer mode type thing, but it is pretty buggy from what I've heard :PChaltirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526206808999058477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024336890775636338.post-57445051947265644332012-08-28T12:20:24.563-07:002012-08-28T12:20:24.563-07:00Two of the biggest things I noticed while watching...Two of the biggest things I noticed while watching you play:<br /><br />1) you seemed to enjoy going airborn every chance you got :P<br /><br />2) the game looks pretty good, but it definitely can be a resource hit.<br /><br />Considering he got it cheap (75% off over the weekend) it looks like a pretty solid investment so far.<br /><br />Question - is there any kind of online multiplayer? I know that's a mode you generally like in games like CoD, Battlefield and Dead IslandChalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.com
