While my review score keeps going down the more I play this game due to bugs and glitches, I find myself pretty upset that I haven’t encountered actual funny ones in my game. I want to punch John Marston in his stupid slashed up face in need of anti wrinkle face cream about every time I play now because of the lagging gameplay I am experiencing late in the game. This game has some sort of Fallout 3 issue in it somewhere that makes it run like crap after playing to long I think.

Anyways, at least we have gotten some pretty awesome bugs to see from the 360 version most likely. PS3 version just has gamebreaking bugs. Here are some more good ones:

I’m not going to get real into the technical aspects of it all. Just talk about my impressions having played through the game and done quite a bit of multi-player so far. This is for the PS3 version BTW, so I have no idea if the 360 looks better, or runs better, and I don’t care. If it is multi-platform the golden rule is that the 360 always looks better so if you are anal about minor differences go research that garbage yourself.

First and foremost, when you first start this game I’d say it is brilliant. Amazing atmosphere, some great locations, and great entertainment value. The world is very well done in that it feels like the west. Like a cowboy game. Riding a horse feels fantastic and the little towns look just like you would expect from a western. Almost all the buildings are enterable. This should be the case because towns are so small. Hotels, Saloons, etc. with old and contemporary furniture.

Comedy in this game is top notch. From the hookers in the towns commenting as you walk by with “I can’t stand to see a man with a dry pecker. Can I help?” to every other random encounter you come a crossed. There are some very funny situations in this game.

For about the first 20-30 hours the game is one you can’t put down. If you are an explorer you realize quickly that there are quite a few time killing challenges that you may want to get into. Hunting, PICKING FLOWERS (yes, this is real), Texas Hold ‘em and many casino games/mini-games. Hunting is by far the most interesting as there are a few dozen different animals you can go out and kill and skin. Cougars, Wolves, Coyotes, Armadillos, Rabbits, Elk, Bears, and even Buffalo to name a few. Early on the hunting isn’t too dangerous, but when you start running into pack so wolves, or that first cougar you quickly realize that you don’t really ever want to walk away from the game without pausing it. The wilderness is dangerous, and I can say with certainty that early on the only thing that ever killed me were the animals.

The missions aren’t bad. You have the standard R* story missions of go here, and kill everyone. You also have a bunch of side missions for “Strangers” that get rather strange at times. Beastiality anyone?

On top of those two types of missions there seem to be about 50 or so random encounters you can run into. Things such as a woman calling for help only to be a trick where bandits jump out of a wagon and open fire on you with the intent to rob/kill you. Chasing down a horse thief. Helping marshalls run down convicts. Quite a few others that are less involved, but most certainly strange.

While the missions aren’t bad they seem to go on FOREVER. This isn’t a good thing. As you get towards the end, or at least think it is the end, it feels like every mission is completely pointless. When you think you have finally gotten to the end you are sidetracked. They throw some ridiculous other mission tree in there that makes little to no sense, and then you go out and do the same thing 5 missions in a row only to be back where you started. This game definitely DRAGGED on for too long from the story standpoint IMO unnecessarily. Story was perfectly fine, just getting there was a pain.

I’m not sure how this is for everyone,b ut after about 40 hours of playing and screwing around my game became incredibly buggy. Not fun buggy either like the amazing glitches in these videos:

It just started freezing quite a bit more. Even with deletion and reinstall of Utility Data.

Online is pretty barren most of the time. Freeroam is boring as hell usually unless you start doing the challenges. There are a good 50 more challenges online that aren’t in the single player game so it is well worth your time to jump online to play these when you get a little bored. Not many fun games online at all. Of course R* is releasing a FREE Co-op this month for online for missions so that is cool. It just seems like there isn’t a lot to do. Attack gang hideouts, or play competitive matches of few options.

I’d give this game an 8.5/10. I thought about going lower since it really got buggy after a while, and the never-ending missions really got to me at the end, but the game could be patched in some areas that may help and the game is really fun overall. Tall Trees, the most beautiful area in the game looks the worst of any area. The rendering of the graphics on the PS3 are just awful. Like headache inducing awful at times. This game needs a patch BAD.

Well…as you may notice since this is my second post in a row about Just Cause 2 I am addicted to it. It is the only game I have played for the past 2 weeks, and I’d be embarrassed to tell you how many hours I have in at this point .

Pretty much the only reason I am posting is because I wanted to see how well I could type on this new Acer Aspire I may get, or if I need a new keyboard…lol

So…what have I been doing with this game? Let’s see. Besides only doing ONE story mission so far because there is so much else to do, this game is a massive playground of creativity. While I haven’t recorded a ton of my feats so far, I do have a few that are pretty funny, along with a few I have seen from others thus far. Oh…and I was able to find L O S T Island, and the smoke monster. (Find this yourself for your pleasure.)

This is from someone else, but I thought it was an awesome video so I figured I’d post it. With the grappling hook you can do all kinds of stuff. Combine that with riding on top of a vehicle, a triggered explosive, and an enemy giving chase, you come up with this:

Here are a couple of mine. This guy decided he wanted to take a ride when I was trying to get my 5 wrecking ball kills by swinging a moped around with a helicopter. He didn’t last long. You can actually slingshot the guy alone if you want to like I did the bike.

Here’s a pretty tough upside down bridge loop under a pretty short bridge .

Today I have to go get the bubble gun that doesn’t kill anyone, but it blinds the person you hit with it, and they run away…LOL

After playing Final Fantasy XIII for a few weeks, and ultimately deciding that the game is boring, and pretty much a terrible Final Fantasy game it was time to go find something “fun”. Just Cause 2 has delivered in a massive way.

I hadn’t even heard about this game until I saw it in the top 10 PS3 games on a gaming board for the week, and decided to check out the Demo on the PSN. Took me about 15 minutes playing that before I decided this game needed to be purchased rather than the new lighting fixture I needed.

Basically, if you loved GTA: San Andreas you will most likely love this game. The game world is massive. 400 square miles according to the game box, which is in comparison about 10 times larger than any GTA world including GTA IV.

So…why is this game awesome? For one thing you have a grappling hook like you are Bionic Commando that you can use in so many ways you can do that all day and never gt tired of it. You can shoot it up a head and then throw out your parachute and travel as a land parasailer on your own momentum. This is actually the most efficient way to travel in most cases. You can attach cars to aircraft, you can pull down statues by attachign them to cars , and you can even do this kind of tomfoolery:

That brings us to another amazing feature that is exclusive to only the PS3 version. Video Capture and Youtube Uploads. That video there is a combination of video captures put together with an editor, but we can all upload vids with little effort. You can either have the game record the last 30 seconds of your game, or you can turn it on manually and it will record up to 10 minutes of footage. Then you just upload it to Youtube by signing into PSN, and your youtube account. It’s really easy. Just look at the related vids to the none I posted for gameplay features. There are hundreds of user videos up by now.

We have all kinds of fun with that feature, and can even do competitions and stuff since we can all get vids up so easy. This is probably the most fun I’ve had with a Sandbox game since San Andreas. Easily more fun for me than GTA IV. Not as pretty, but it is over the top and has much more potential with the freedom and unrealistic physics.

Apparently video games promote hate, racism, murder, rape, sexism, gang violence, lying, terrorism, sex with animals, and pottery.

A recent video posted on Youtube from the Alan Titchmarsh Show, which appears in Australlia had a panel discussion that tried to get the idea crossed that games are bad. They are addictive, promote hatred, sexism, and REWARD violence.

Yes…the woman has not had sex in 20 years most likely. They did a “study” that said that gamers are just violent. We hate everyone, and want to kill everyone because we will get a great reward like free Gil, Gold, or super sweet moves and weapons. I just robbed the merchant at 7-11 to expand the size of my back pack so I didn’t have to use any of my own gold. I duped my items in the bag and double sold them to the idiot by using a glitch. Now I have all the gold. I am where da gold at.

Take a look at this video and feel free to get VIOLENT you dirty ass gamer. Eat some colon cleansing foods to get all the ultra-violence out of you.
