Just Cause 3 hands-on preview – mod your way to success | Metro GameCentral

Metro:
GameCentral tries out what promises to be the best and most destructible open world game of the year, even if it has some surprising influences.

When developer Zach Schläppi tells me that the main influences for Just Cause 3 is movies such as Transformers and The Expendables, I’m not sure which reaction is more extreme: mine or his when he realises how appalled I am at the suggestion. I try to politely point out that not only are they terrible movies, but the action, which is presumably the element he’s most interested in, are a mess of incomprehensible shaky cam and awful-looking CGI blood. Which seems a surprising influence given that Just Cause 3 seems to be a really good video game.

Who decides if a games story is average idefinitely ain't listening to no reviewers. I don't agree with most of then anyway. I think alot of them are to harsh on games so they can get clicks

Every Soulslike game ever made.

zelda has a story line? Actually do any nintendo 1st party games have decent (not even good) storylines?

NotoriousWhiz773d ago

Does Xenoblade count as 1st party? That's the only one I can think of.

NotoriousWhiz773d ago

Also, Ocarina of time definitely had a decent (but not great) story.

Brazz773d ago (Edited 773d ago )

Zelda average story line!? Zelda Story sucks, most time It comes to "save the princess", Nintendo sucks at story outside Fire Emblem and perhaps 1-2 other IPs.

DOMination-773d ago

Actually the Souls games and Zelda games share something in common, which is that they reward gamers for seeking out the story rather than thrusting it in their faces. Not saying this is better or worse, but it's unfair to say they don't have them.

People will be surprised to learn that if you dig a bit deeper into Zelda games, there's a whole lot of really dark and crazy stuff happening.

@DOMination

Thrust in your face??? I assume by that you mean basic story-telling 101? Lol.

I platinumed both Niohs but for the life of me, couldn’t tell you what happened in the story lol! I can namedrop Nobunaga, but that’s about it.

ChasterMies773d ago (Edited 773d ago )

The pinnacle of bad story but great gameplay is Destiny and Destiny 2. What is the Traveler? What is the Darkness? What the heck is happening? No one knew. But shooting the aliens and robots felt so good.

Brazz773d ago (Edited 773d ago )

Article os about "average" story. But If you wanna talk about bad story but great gameplay you need to look at Nintendo, they are the masters at making poor shirt story on great gameplay.

HeliosHex773d ago

@deus. If you want more of the story fleshed out in detail I'd recommend the destiny grimoire anthology 1-6 25 bucks each. It's really good I loved the backstory on the guns.

Relientk77773d ago

"I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain."

Is my favorite line from Destiny's "story" lol
