No impressions of Just Cause 3?

Thx JH. As cheap as £20, I went ahead at Kinguin.

Thanks GR (I think!).

Sorry UCG for letting you down - or - congratulations for getting my number 

[Grim.Reaper]

Good luck!

You really are buggers here sometimes

That's pretty large, but you have a great internet connection...jealous

No joke.  My internet speeds are ass compared to that.

[JudgeDredd]

Yeah - I am pretty lucky. I subscribed to Cable (Virgin Media here) early on and they've upped my internet speed regularly.

When I first joined Virgin (NTL World back in the day) I was on 0.5Mbps. They upped it to 2Mbps, then 10, then 20, 40, 60 100 and recently jumped to 150Mbs.

Of course, the websites you connect to have an impact...but it's nice to have that there. I remember when I'd leave a 10GB file downloading overnight  :(

Meant to say - there is a downside...throttling. I'm not sure of the level of throttling and when it kicks in, but I may experience that during a 38GB download.

[Grim.Reaper]

Mine certainly stinks in comparison....I think I can download about 10gb an hour

[JudgeDredd]

I'm in!  O0

I have it on PS4.
Its a great game! I love the physics and over the top action.
The story is bad, though, but its all part of the insane action movie style of the game. ;)
Once you figure out you can hook up multiple objects with your grappling hook things get really freaky and fun: want to destroy a helo by tethering a car to it and reel it in from the streets so they both crash into eachother? Sure!
Want to extract some baddies by tethering them to Cars passing by? Sure thing!
You can even tether a few explosive barrels to a truck and attach that to a chopper to haul it into an enemy base and then untether the truck above a building to make it go boom Hollywood style!

I love these games! The world is huge as well. A perfect sandbox for crazy mayhem.

The loading times are pretty bad on PS4 though. And there are some weird issues with framerates after extended play (memory leak?).
There is also some issue with connectivity for some.

Aparently the Xbox One version is the worst. No idea if these problems are present on the PC version as well.

Same map-size as JC2, I noticed: 20 x 20 miles.

I feel like I ought to be complaining about that, although it's by far the largest action-sandbox map in the genre. (Unless maybe some of the ARMA games or their predecessors count? -- but I don't think they count as a sandbox campaign even if so, right?)

There's a driving-desert sandbox game (literally  ::) ) that's supposedly larger; and overall the Lord of the Rings Online map is (getting ever-more) larger; but still not the same genre.

I guess if the gfx are qualitatively better, then it doesn't matter if the map isn't larger: forward progress has still been occurred (as my late pupil used to joke in Chinglesh). And 20 x 20 is still a freakishly large map to work in for this kind of game.

I picked it up, but I haven't had a chance to play yet. Hoping to rectify that over the weekend.

Having a lot of fun with it. Blowing shit up just doesn't get old.
