    To be fair, I well remember game reviews in the late 90s and very early 00s listing "This game REQUIRES a 3D accelerator" as a negative. Same with Just Cause 2 requiring DirectX 10 and thus not running on Windows XP. This is just another of those steps, and it is semi valid when you remember these.

    I've been replaying Just Cause 2 which is a great reminder this game is an all-time best, I sometimes think this might be the ultimate expression of the sandbox game as a medium, the vertical design work is just SO strong and I love how unobtrusive the story elements are

    Playing Just Cause 2 in the year 2026 is crazy 1. As simple as a lot of its concepts are, it still feels ambitious in a way that a lot of AAA games nowadays would be afraid to replicate 2. You used to have to try really hard for people to realize your game was racist as hell, huh

    Just Cause 2 and 3 are so much fun. Just grappling around flying and playing with the physics could be a game by itself. Some folks had added some really cool mods in pt 2, legendary stuff, and the devs built them into the game for pt 3.

    Trying not to bounce off Just Cause 2 again. The character is charming and a bit funny, overall cutscenes are great and enjoyable. The moment to moment game play though is meh. Not a huge fan of the grapple mechanic and the shooting isn't quite right erring on the side of annoying.
