Muzix if I didn't know better I'd say you were one of those viral people designed to perk interest in a game ala Driv3r.
You know - I don't care what anyone says, the Driver series is fun - hands down great arcade style play. It wasn't meant to be the game of the year or win any awards, it is just fun play. Point A to point B racing and fun. If you guys don't like the game, e-mail me, I will take them off your hands and put them on ebay after I get a couple copies for me and my friend (I only have 1, which that shouldn't be a surprise to most hehehehe)

I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now, even though you broke my heart and killed me.

Eventually "nin" is going to read this thread because it has enough volume of replies in it for him to try out some new one-liners. "nin" is a one-liner kind of guy. We all pretend to think he's cool just so he'll spew his fuckstain on someone else's face, but basically he's just a dumb monkey that has enough free time in his life to play forum-fuck, which is a clear indicator that his sex life is also computerized. I bet there isn't very much that "nin" does in a day that isn't in front of a computer. So let's hear it for "nin", he's the ultimate fanboy of fanboys!!!! It's "nin"!!!!! YAAAAAAAY!!!

Ignoring the troll who posted before me, I'm pretty much with Hump on this. It looked great until the demo, which was really quite rough. It did show potential so I'm sure as hell not ruling it out but I am going to wait, see what the reaction is and how post release support fixes any major complaints. I compared it to Boiling Point in another thread, if there are patches which improve Just Cause as much as BP's patched improved that game, then I'll certainly buy it. (Assuming the demo is representative, maybe it was an old build - that would be stupid marketing but hey, that's hardly impossible.)

Since when did someone around here saying that a game doesn't suck suddenly become an industry plant?
Since all games started to suck, EA ruined PC gaming, Ubisoft demonstrated that even patching dodgy games doesn't help them, Starforce blew up 27.4% of the computers it got installed on to, console-itus wreaked our games' interfaces, Derek Smart got a publishing deal and Jack Thompson became King of the Universe.
Haven't you been following the news? That's what half the comments on gaming discussion boards amount to.

It's a bit of harmless fun and it sounds as though it shouldn't be as monotonous like GTA became.

All games suck now, especially here. 
I thought the Just Cause demo was great fun. I might end up getting the PS2 version though, if the graphics aren't too nerfed. It's a game for sitting back and having a laugh, which most people here can't seem to do.

Pepsiblue is the height of refreshment!
I was really pumped for this thing ubtil I played the demo. The lack of polish is just too glaring in many areas including controls, mission fun and graphics. This one may simply be a rental.

not quite elf, i just liked the demo. as you can see I'm not alone. I enjoyed it because there is so much to do in that game... riding helicopters, boats, cars, trucks, motocycles... i know it has been done already with gta many times over but for some reason i really liked it in this game. i am generally a positive PC gamer, i appreciate what little we pc gamers get these days on our forgotten platform. Granted many ports from the consoles suck, sometimes you find a few good ones here and there. (ie Riddick, Rogue Trooper, Flatout2, Prince of Persia trilogy etc etc)

I was delightfully surprised by how much fun I had playing the demo. Yes it's mindless, unrealistic and doesn't make much sense, but I don't care, I had a blast and I'll be picking this one up as soon as I can.

Demo wasn't bad, but I'll wait for it to hit the bargain bin before I get it.

This game sucked...saw it being compared to GTA but it was so far below comparison. Sucked sucked sucked. It was basically a console circle jerk...total crap. Seemed more like Econo-ware to me.
I don't get what people see in this game. In the demo the combat was meaningless since nobody could hurt you, the only challenge was getting to the next way point in time. I didn't like the vehicle controls either.
If you really get to explore and influence things in the full game it might be better, but in the demo it was all about running from check point to check point before time runs out.

I am buying this title the day it hits the shelves! After playing the extremely fun demo I have been looking forward to this one! Even though it wasn't perfect, I was totally impressed with it.
