Just Cause 3 new gameplay trailer (the dev said this is from a console but hasn't stated which one). I haven't really gotten into this series but I might check this one out:

 
I really liked Just Cause 2. This one looks good. I hope the destruction in the trailer is the same for the entire environment.
 
I am always impressed by the Just Cause trailers, but am usually underwhelmed by the actual games. The gameplay has had small annoying flaws that hinder the moment to moment enjoyment, and the overall mission design is usually pretty lacking.
 
My favorite part of JC2 was hooking people to run away propane tanks. Watching them fly over the place was quite funny.
 
From this and that Mad Max trailer though, I will say it looks like Avalanche is getting much better at releasing more polished games... The first Just Cause was janky as f***, but both this and Mad Max look pretty ironed out and polished, comparatively at least.
 
The game looks like it's gonna be a blast to play. It looks fantastic too if the videos are anything to go by.
 
It's too bad this franchise doesn't get enough exposure. I dabbled with the JC 2 demo on 360 way back and it seemed solid. Confident JC 3 will be too. But it can't get that AAA marketing exposure. I bet many people have not even heard of JC.
 
Just Cause 2, as ridiculous as it was, stands as one of the top five best open-world games I've played in the previous generation. Nothing is off limits, the action is constant and outrageous, and some of the vehicles available are really worth just traveling around in without doing anything else.

Then you crash the experimental jet into a gas station and tie soldiers to a sky-rocketing gas canister. And the game beats you to the punch every time. It's just one great thing after another. The only game of it's kind that did action better was Crackdown for the sheer scope and power of weapons available.

If you have a 360 (or it becomes available as a BC game) it's always on sale. I picked it up a while back for $4. Easily the best $4 I spent on the 360
 
Hearing a ton of praise for Just Cause 2 lately, maybe I'll give it another go. Last time I played I remember getting frustrated with constantly running out of ammo.
 
Whoah, looks crazy. The guy is like a superhero -- he can fly, stick to the underside of walls, pull down helicopters with his bare hands... Looks like a fun game, but it's probably not for me. I'd want that action to be part of a broader game with more variety, not the whole show. But, it looks like a quality production for those who like these types of games.
 
Well, played through all the other games I was interested in this fall, now just waiting for this! C'mon December 1st!!
 
My son and I are big fans of Just Cause 2. I recall flying in the jets down the rivers and it was so much fun. With a few more tweaks to the gameplay this game could be something really special.
 
load times seem to be 45 seconds to a minute in the stream.

Regardless, two more days and I'm pumped!!
 
Review embargo ends Monday afternoon I think. Hope they're good because I preordered digitally based on videos alone haha.
 
I'm just worried about the game getting monotous. Being given too much power too early in the game can kill longevity. Hopefully you'll be able to upgrade your abilities, weapons and gadgets.
