Whaaaaat. I got JC2 after playing the demo for over 7 hours. Waaaay better than the first one. I logged over 70 hours and I don't normally do that with 1 game. Can't wait for #3!!
I agree Just Cause 2 was a boring game. They give you endless amounts of space and nothing to do there other than repeating the same missions which had really boring structure. After flying around for an hour what else is there worth doing?
It had great ideas..but its unpolished as hell. Crap story, uninteresting characters, unsatisfying driving controls, repetitive missions, overall lack of variety, oddly empty world etc.
Took me along time to get around to Just Cause 2, but I loved it, great game.
It did feel but, a little bit like a sandbox without enough sand in it. It just needed more stuff to do and a bit less emptiness.
I wish you could do more with the tether wire and parachute as well. Someone please tell me why you cant hook up the back of a car and parasail. That seems like a no brainer.
Still awesome fun though, and anyone who hasn't played it, should.
i got just cause 2 for free off of ps+ but havent try it out yet. Ico was a no brainer for me back during the PS2 era it was my type of game along with Okami, and SotC.
I`m just grabbing it as we speak from PSN+. It was always one of those games I wanted to try out, but there were just so many other games on my plate. Looking forward to giving it a go.
Folklore was great, but I felt it was missing... Something... I'm not sure what it was exactly, though I never did actually beat the last boss. That was a really hard fight, and the fact it'd send you back to the beginning if you died sucked. :\
Just Cause 2 was an amazing game, it and Mass Effect 2 are still neck and neck for my favorite 2010 single player game. Oh yea, a list like this is also begging to have Enslaved: OttW on it surprised it didn't.
After this Wolverine game I hoped that Marvel will make their games gritty as this one was. "Hulk ripping everyone up" Marvel X Mortal Kombat / Killer Instinct.
Def Jam Fight for New York should be on there as well! One of the best fighters I've ever played so far. Endless fun, 50+ characters (No DLC), create-a-character, great story and characters, memorable stages, weapons, Blazin' Moves.
I still remember most of the story line and fights you had to complete.
Def Jam Icon was terrible. Someone should make a new game like Def Jam FFNY
lmao, when your playing gta 4, do you not notice the crap cover system, annoying people calling you all the time, messed up camera rotation, blurry smudged graphics, uninteresting main character, lame fighting physics. im not saying its a bad game but the best open world? far from it. very overated yes.. red dead was beyond better, batman ac, skyrim, fallout, assassins creed, mafia 2, just cause 2 were all more polished, fun or interesting. i know its only my opinion but get out of here with that fanboyism
I agree with everything except the uninteresting character part.....I mean really? The only way someone could say that is if they havent beat the game or skipped all the story cutscenes. Niko is a really interesting character who has to make difficult decisions....if anything the characters of GTA all have amazing depth for a video game. No one could deny that GTA4 is one of the best open worlds....even if it is overrated. Notice how all the games you say were "better" came out after gta when gaming evolved since the beginning of this gen. Plus all those games had issues. Mafia 2 was practically an empty city some even said a "dollhouse" didnt even need an open world for that game. Red dead I believe was better only because it was newer and rockstar had time to evolve with the industry GTA 5 will remedy this. Batman, skyrim, fallout and AC are not even close to gta style games and Just Cause 2....I personally love so I cant really give a fair opinion against gta4. But I agree Just cause was amazingly fun vast open world beautiful graphics. I mean to pull something that good looking and that big with great frame rates and little pop-in this late in the generation is almost unspeakable....black magic even. but comparably just cause 2 was not polished in story at all. GTA 4 was good by the standards of the day. I remember all the issues you mentioned weren't even a problem then...I think we just all got spoiled so when we look back it is very clunky once I played uncharted I hated GTA4's camera. All the graphics early on were muddy for almost most games with some exceptions like uncharted etc. GTA 4's world had life to it and the physics although bad were good by the standards of the day when physics were not seen as often as they are now.
awsome comeback. Truth is, early on in this gen i didnt like or beat most games. The great games were VERY few and far between imo. I didnt consider gta 4 to be one of those that impressed me at the time. i was expecting more after playing mass effect 1 and rainbow 6 vegas. There were only about 2-3 titles a year since 2006 that i actually played all the way threw and liked until about late 2009 when i started seeing better quality...n started picking up more games. shit i played oblivion from release until about the time skyrim came out, i cant say that about most other prequels... as for nikos character...i dont even remember the story or challenges he faced, i just didnt like him. it wasnt entertaining enough. gameplay or story wise for me to keep going is all i know. i was bored. the gta liberty city stories are another thing though...i loved both of those characters because i could relate them to 2 people i know in my life.
GTA IV delivers and it still holds as one of the best games of this generation. Good story line, endless choices and possibilities, open world game, 2 episodes were added in 2009 by Rock Star to expand upon the GTA IV experience.
Just Cause 2 problem is that hardly anyone has heard about it nor played it. I admit I have never played JC2. When a game does not get the media attention it misses out on crucial sales. Sales determine a companies/products success. More sales = more profits.
I am so looking forward to Grand Theft Auto 5, my most anticipated future game bar none. What will Rockstar do next with the great GTA series?
sales dont mean the game is the best though, just means it has hype. who cares about sales or a big name? do yourself a favor and stop playing follow the leader...your limiting yourself as a gamer. actually apply that to everything...the music you listen to, the girls you go after, the fields you learn, food you eat, people you hang with etc. become versatile like a chameleon, having options and knowledge is key.
Amen Brother^ But I think he means if the games that aren't as known get the advertising of household names....it will become a household name. I mean look at Just Cause 2....It could have done even better for virtually no marketing campaign...it should be a household name as described by the author.
Awkward. None of these games interested me except Ico, but I didn't enjoy it anyway. This list should have included beyond good and evil as Majora's Mask (possibly even Skyward Sword?)
Just Cause 2 is so much fun with the grappling hook. tethering enemies to gas tanks to launch them into the air, statue heads to helecopters, lots of stuff to just blow up. It does get repetitive but is a fun game to just go do whatever you want in from time to time. Completed it on 360 and got it free on PSN with Plus.
Just Cause 2: i was at a 76% i was going to every little village. until i do not know how this was possible, i got bored of it. but still a game worthy of time and gameplay and blowing shit up! lol

And uninstalled it twice.
I honestly don't see where the fun is.
One of these days, I'll give it a 3rd chance.
otherwise you can get caught up in doing sidequest crap for hours on end and progressing nothing.
its a great game.
There is a MP mod coming out for the PC version and looks actually looks like a lot of fun.
Its look huge but not engaging enough for its size.
I hope there will be JC3.
Its a fun game .. i realy like more than GTA IV for me .. but for the fun only .. the other thing iis not very good .

First I rented it for PS3, was about to buy it but then I caught a steam sale for the pc version for $2.99.
But I play my ps3 more than my pc so, I bought it for ps3 during the digital psn sale that included the dlc.
Honestly folk, buy, rent or steal this game.
IMO best open world game this generation.
GTA IV is the best game of all time and any other non-GTA game is just a lame copy.

Just cause 3 will be a xbox 720 game too.
