Just Cause 3

Got it half price at work.

Fun but the loading times are killing it. Even the profile sign in takes ages!
 
well......

50+ hours into the game and still yet to get those talked about serious frame drops and load times.

my bugbear as of yesterday was not being able to stay signed into the game and this causes serious gameplay problems in that the game stops while it's trying to sign you in. after a while it gives up the ghost and asks if you want to play offline which is all well and good until you do the simplest of things like look at your map and it all starts over again with trying to connect to the server.

Are you playing on the Xbox One? From that video you posted it looked okay. The game is freaking crazy though. I wouldn't be shocked if it slowed down.
 
Is there a better version of C4 that you initially get? The first set you get is very difficult to throw while parachuting. I know, how ridiculous, I can't throw C4 with laser accuracy while gliding at 100mph. I blame Obama.
 
Not had any bad slow down. A little during a heavy fight but it was very brief and considering what was going on I'm not complaining about it.
 
I must have played this game for over 40 hours. I am just completed addicted to the world, progressing and upgrading myself through mods and taking over bases and towns. The story is rubbish but who cares when it just allows you to blow stuff up and continue to explore such an engaging world.

yes, it's on X1 running from external drive and yes, there is some slight slow down. but really nothing worthy of mentioning, other than to say it happens.

i'd also add, for the fun and hours i've put into it so far, its my game of the year.

check your mod screen, see if there is an upgrade there to find.
 
Just Cause 3 March 4 Patch Details:Out Today

  • Reduced initial loading time and in-game loading screens by 20-50%
  • Fixed several memory leaks resulting in crashes
  • Reduced a number of random crashes
  • Improved streaming of game world
  • Some performance optimizations related to hitches and stuttering
  • Implemented DLC system in preparation of the Air, Land and Sea packages

Load times def seem improved. Frame rate is still really bad at times. So if you quit playing it or didn't buy it because of performance frame rate wise I still wouldn't bother.

I've been holding out on the game and I guess I will continue doing so until it's under $20.
 
I notice drops now and then, but the game is great and performance issues are drastically exaggerated on the PS4.
 
Just the annoying loads times hurt it for me. The odd slow down during very heavy explosions but that's it on Xbox One
 
Frame rate drops even when just driving around and very randomly some times. I can honeslty handle it but for people that are bothered by that I would stay away.

I'm playing on XB1
