Oh me! Loved Just Cause 2 and had an even better time with 3. I love it specifically because of how mindless it is.
No one plays Just Cause for the story (since it’s the same every game just pick a different part of the world). Flying, gliding, and blowing shit up. Bonus points for tethering a moving police car to another object and blowing even more shit up!
I guess the reason I bring this up is because Just Cause feels uniquely, gloriously pointless to me.
I love 'em. Just Cause 3 practically has Gmod in it's DNA. But at the same time, I'm strangely aware of the loop.
I’m pretty sure the game doesn’t take itself seriously haha. Which is a good thing.
I only played JC3 but the player is basically invincible - the lack of a health bar and the quick recovery lean into the fact that the game isn't trying to be serious, but instead lets you have fun messing around with stuff. When I played I was mostly just trying to do fun trick shots/find ways to do fun nonsense with the phyisics engine. A few of my friends and I had a fun time trying the max out the random task scores (free falling the longest distance, grappling up the most, etc) without looking at online strategies
Exactly! Absolutely love games like this. Really lets you play.
