"Just Cause 3": review of the game, ratings, review, system requirements

It's unlikely that today there will be a gamer who has never heard about the "Just Causes" series in his life. She's incredibly popular. And the second part of the project gathered millions of users from the screens. What is its secret? The fact is that recently the so-called sandboxes, that is, games in which you have no specific task, have become very popular. Or it exists, but does not bear any serious meaning. The beauty of these games lies in the interactivity of the world - at your disposal there is a huge territory where you can freely move around and do whatever you want.

Naturally, each "sandbox" has its own bias. And in this case, the developers provided an impressive number of unique features. You can shoot, blow up, ride on various vehicles, swim, fly, jump with a parachute and much, much more. Naturally, it would be naive to expect that developers with such a stunning success, provided in large part by the presence in the second part of the multiplayer mode, stop work and miss the chance to earn even more. It was clear to everyone - someday in the foreseeable future the game Just Cause 3 (the review of which you will read now) will be released. Well, at the end of 2015, this moment has come. Mor saw the sequel. How good was the Just Cause 3 project? The review will highlight all the details of the new part of the legendary game.

Unforgettable feelings

It's quite difficult to talk about a game like Just Cause 3. The review of the average statistical project can have some structure, in fact, like the game itself. Here you get at your disposal a huge island. On it you can freely move. And it gives you an unforgettable experience. You can do whatever you want: take the plane, fly over the island, and then jump out and land on the village field. Strictly speaking, even being at the height of a bird's flight, you can hardly see all the playing space - so much it is huge. So if you want, you can spend a hundred hours in the game to visit every corner of the territory that was called the Medici.

And, of course, even more impressive is what exactly you will be doing during the game - explosions. Very few games offer a destructible environment. That is, the surrounding world is a scene that you can shoot, blow up, kick and do with it the most incredible things - it will remain the same as it was created by the developers. Here everything is quite different. You can blow up almost anything and admire it as much as you want. This is the beauty of the project Just Cause 3. Overview, however, will affect other topics: both positive and negative. And then you can decide for yourself whether you want to play a new part of the series so beloved by everyone or not.

Realistic

Many developers of computer games tend to make the gameplay as realistic as possible. They make the character's movements the way they are in real life, they are trying to follow the laws of physics and so on. This does not apply to the project "Just Causes 3" - the review will show you this in detail. The fact is that even in the second part you could jump from the wing of one aircraft to the wing of the other, pull the pilot out of the cabin, send him to a free fall, send his ship towards the oil refinery, jump out at the last moment with a parachute and admire how Everything takes off into the air.

What happened in the third episode? Everything became even more impressive and less realistic. And that's what pleases the eye, and also allows you to enjoy what's happening on the screen as much as possible, without worrying about that some of the things that are happening do not correspond to the laws of physics. There is practically nothing they can not do. This and attracts new gamers project "Just Couse 3". The review, of course, does not end there - you still have a lot to learn about this game.

The plot component

As with any other game, in the case of Just Cause 3, the review can not do without a description of the plot. However, it will be short and capacious. Let's try to understand this question as soon as possible and forget about it. Why? The fact is that the plot here has no special significance and serves, rather, as a kind of background for everything that is happening. Of course, you can perform tasks, move on the storyline, but this is not required.

So, the bottom line is that the protagonist, whose name is Rico Rodriguez, is a protagonist, as in the previous episodes. He arrives on another island, captured by a tyrant and a despot. This time the earth is called the Medici. And the dictator's name is Sebastiano di Ravello. Separately it is worth noting that, apparently, the main character grew up on this island, since from time to time you meet some acquaintances, then buddies from his childhood. But still it does not matter. You overthrow the dictator. As long as innocent people are killed because of it, the new perspective of government is also not painfully iridescent. In general, everything is standard. It does not matter at all. It's time to forget about the plot and go to much more important and interesting elements of the game Just Cause 3. The review will describe them in the smallest detail.

Accents

The review of the game Just Cause 3 would be incomplete without a point about explosions. Because they play one of the main roles here. It is visible to all. And the developers do not even try to deny it. Moreover - all the trailers that were released before the official release of the game, focused on how to blast, blast and once again blow up. When the game was demonstrated at computer shows, all the gameplay was concentrated solely on how more and more beautifully to air this or that object. Strictly speaking, you already had to grasp the essence of what is happening - life can spiral around, a bloodthirsty leader can terrorize the local population, but all that you will be bothered with in the game are explosions.

You will lift cars, whole buildings. Especially remarkable are those objects in which flammable and explosive substances are present, that is, factories, refueling, tanks with gasoline and so on. And, of course, it is extremely interesting to destroy various attractions. It looks more impressive than the explosions of ordinary buildings. Especially if it's a monument to the dictator. However, do not focus only on this - a review of the game Just Cause 3 can tell much more.

Renewed movement

Regardless of whether you read the case in Just Cause 3 in Russian or English, you will always find an unusual word - wingsuit. This device, which appeared in the third part of the game. And it radically changed the gameplay. The fact is that in the first two episodes, you periodically had to travel long distances on foot, because it was not so easy to get up in the air. And for a long time there was no possibility. Gone transport - this is also not always an affordable task, but half an hour's foot march will not make anyone more cheerful.

In the third part, everything has changed, since the wingsuit appeared - it is a suit that has peculiar wings that allow you to soar in the air. And quite purposeful. So now, when you jump off an airplane, you do not need to use a parachute and wait for landing on the ground - you can combine all available devices by adding to the parachute a legendary cat hook and wingsuit. Gamers have already reported that with this combination you can cross the entire huge island without touching the ground. Simply put, the gameplay has become much more diverse and interesting. In this case, do not think that on some platform something is changing. The review of Just Cause 3 on the PS4 will not be different from the review for Xbox or a personal computer. In any case, this is a great game, which should be given due attention.

What to do on the island?

Naturally, everyone already perfectly understood that in this game you need to fly and blow up, blow up and fly, combine, repeat and start again. However, it is worth paying attention to the more meaningful actions that developers offer to gamers. In Just Cause 3, the review of the possibilities of Rico Rodriguez can be quite large. But there is no point in this - why tell about all the secret places and what can you find there, because in this case they cease to be secret. It is better to say a few words about the most basic activities that you can attract. First, it's a test. Secondly - the capture of bases. Tests are specific tasks that you need to perform, keeping within the allotted time or observing specific conditions. What does this give you? Tests are not too much fun and do not shine with variety. But they give you the opportunity to discover new features and capabilities of all your devices, such as a hook, wingsuit and so on.

It is much more interesting to look at the second point - the capture of enemy bases. More precisely, the destruction of these objects, because this is a game about explosions. And you will not capture anything. This opportunity was present in previous games, but it was pretty dull. All bases had a similar structure. And their destruction was the same. You needed to arm yourself to the teeth, dive into the camp, lay the explosives and get out as soon as possible. In the third part, everything became much more interesting. Each base has its own unique structure, and now it is not so easy to get to the territory - what can we say about air maneuvering. In general, it was this element of the previous games that needed most of the refinement. And the developers coped with the task perfectly. But this can not be said about everything in the project "Just Causes 3" - the review of the game should also shed light on the shortcomings.

Orderliness

Naturally, there were shortcomings. More centrally, they will be said about them towards the end of the review. And now in general terms will be described the biggest disadvantage of the project Just Cause 3 XL Edition. The review simply must contain this information. As you already perfectly understood, the whole point of the game is to create complete chaos by blasting everything you want. It would seem that in such a game, promotion should be carried out in the same chaotic manner, at a furious pace. But it was here that the developers managed to spoil the impression. What does a standard job look like? You are given the task of freeing a couple of provinces from oppression. How to achieve this? Experienced you can learn that to liberate one province you need to destroy a certain number of bases that are on its territory. And for this, in turn, you need to blow up the marked objects.

And do not be happy that there will be a large number of explosions. If you arbitrarily capture the base, then you can create everything that you want. Here, your task is limited to laying the explosives, moving away and blowing up. That's all. Only a couple of times in the whole game you will be offered some original solution. For example, the explosion of a bridge to cut off enemy forces from reinforcements, but it is, rather, an exception to the rules. Moreover, even a small massacre with the population of the enemy base will be spoiled by the fact that after the stripping you will need to spend three times more time to make sure that the current assignments are set off. A little bit of the situation is changed Just Cause 3: Sky Fortress - the review, however, applies only to the original game. And the changes there are not too impressive. The main disadvantages still remain.

pros

It does not matter which platform you are playing on this project. No one will say anything if your choice to play Just Cause 3 is PS4. The review covers all platforms. So you can safely read it without fear of missing something. So, it's time to sum up the results of the project. First, it is worth noting the place of action, that is, the island of the Medici. He really is huge. You will need a very long time to just cross it from one end to the other on foot. Therefore, you are not recommended to do this. Moreover, it is not only huge, but still incredibly beautiful. You can admire the beauty of the environment all the time. The landscape is picturesque in the city, in the woods, and in the open countryside. And especially everything is beautiful, when you look at it from a bird's eye view.

Secondly, it is worth noting the new gadgets. And in the first place - wingsuit. It allows you to diversify the gameplay, making it more enjoyable and rich, eliminating the need for multi-minute walking tours. Strictly speaking, ropes, hooks, an infinite amount of explosives - all of this can also be safely recorded in pluses, since it is these devices that allow you to do whatever you want. But it does not matter - the main advantage of the game is in explosions. You can air anything you want. You can blow up the finished building. Or to build something, and then destroy it. The explosions are spectacular, beautiful. They impress and please. And for them it's worth playing Just Cause 3.

Minuses

The review of Just Cause 3 on a PC, of course, will not tell you exclusively about the merits of the project, because it also has drawbacks. Immediately it is worth noting that the world, although it is beautiful visually, is still not as diverse as one would like. If the developers rejected realism, then it would be possible to make a little more original building of cities and settlements. And so in the game most of the designs are the same houses, which are annoying to blow up after the fifth attempt.

If we are talking about explosions, I would like to once again note the plot tasks, which are forced to literally destroy "for a tick". That is, to recruit a certain number of destroyed buildings to fulfill a task consisting of four or five such items. All the charm of the chaotic, uniqueness and voracity of this project is lost. And, of course, it should be noted that the world, though large in size and offers an unlimited number of opportunities, does not create conditions for them to use one hundred percent. You simply will not have the motivation, incentive to complete the creative process. Of course, in this case the multi-user mode will help. But it is necessary to recognize that it would always be desirable that the single-player regime should be as full as possible.

System requirements

Well, the review of Just Cause 3 has come to an end. System requirements are the last point that should be considered in more detail. The fact is that the game was released in late 2015. That is, it is extremely advanced in all areas, including the graphic component. And this means that the requirements for it can be too high for your computer. So your task at the moment is not to rush to buy a new game, but carefully compare the requirements for it with the indicators of your current technology and its capabilities. If they do not correspond to the necessary indicators, then it is better for you to spend money for an upgrade. Especially with the fact that all subsequent innovations will also require an extremely powerful computer.

So, the operating system, which you will need to run the game, can be any. But its version should not be lower than Vista - unfortunately, old-school XP fans can not enjoy the novelty. Note that the bit depth of your system must be 64 bits - 32-bit systems will not work. As for the processor, then in accordance with the minimum requirements you will need a quad-core device with a performance of at least 2.8 gigahertz. But still it is recommended that their performance is about 4 gigahertz. Then this amazing game will run at full power. To do this, you will also have to take care of RAM. The minimum requirements for it are six gigabytes, but everyone knows that RAM is the main element of the computer in matters of games. Therefore, the more RAM, the better. Well, if we talk about official requirements, the developer recommends having eight gigabytes of RAM. The video card must have two gigabytes of memory. But you should definitely think about what species will open from a bird's eye view. Therefore, do not aim at the necessary minimum - it is better to achieve a maximum or at least recommended three gigabytes of video memory.

Estimates of gamers

What did the game Just Cause 3 score from gamers? Perhaps there was a factor in the expectation of something more, and maybe just a game that does not reach its predecessor's level. But the estimates put up by the third part turned out to be rather low (in comparison with the expected ones), and the users' opinions were mixed. It makes no sense to focus on what points are put by various specialized magazines. All this is subjective and does not cause much interest. It is much more reliable to rely on the opinions of thousands of gamers. And in this case the result is not the most comforting.

Only 67 percent of reviews written by gamers from around the world turned out to be positive. This is by far not the most impressive result. Especially when compared with the second part, which has a share of positive reviews of as much as 93 percent. In general, in the question of assessments, the third game dropped to the same level as the first. An interesting fact is that the estimates of these two parts coincide. Thus, you can try a new game, but still Just Cause 2 remains a legend, and the novelty turns out to be only a middle peasant. At least that's what many users think.
