Just Cause 4 is available on Game Pass
- Thread starter Madonna
- Start date
Since Square Enix mentioned that both Just Cause 4 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider didn't perform to their liking this isn't a surprise to see. That said, Xbox Game Pass continues to be an incredible value. This game is only 3 months old at this point.
Wow. Just Cause 4 must have really bombed for Square Enix for them to accept a payday to put the game on Game Pass literally three months after it launched for $60.
and boy, did this game need it more than ever. such a dull ass game.
don't fix what ain't broken
including the performance issues apaprently
Well never mind trying it out. Was never a fan of the JC system of "Bullshit until you unlock the next mission"
They managed to make the gameplay system worse in 3. I can only imagine how much worse it got in 4.
There's also the performance issues. You need to work for NASA to get 3 at a stable frame rate.
Yup, done this straight after my original comment. Thanks anyway.
Square Enix to Game Pass what Disney was for Netflix? Really damned interesting trend. Back to back to back months of newish games hitting the service.
That's an incredible addition.
There's definitely a Square Enix theme here for very recent releases. Life is Strange Season 2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Just Cause 4.
I LOVE this addition, but it's also too bad because it kind of confirms how much the game under performed. The games that appeal to me from Square Enix all seem to be failing commercially.

If subscription services allow publishers to mitigate risk and make more than just AAA sequels, I'm all for it.
Damn, I traded the game in a week after launch without getting past the first three hours despite being a really massive Just Cause fan but the recent announcement of patches on the way had me considering picking it back up. Thanks for saving me the cash, MS!
Has anyone made a thread about the founder and Chief Creative Officer of Avalanche leaving the company due to "frustration with the gold digging mentality of the industry"? Wonder what the future of the franchise looks like...

Infinitely better performance, infinitely worse game.
Fuck!
I'll have to wait til it rolls around again.
DMC V in a few days gahhhh
I really doubt that will happen. The only recently released third party titles on Game Pass are those that sold poorly. Mortal Kombat 11 won't sell poorly. Not saying it won't happen but I'd be surprised if it happened at all this year.
Have they patched the game at all? I bought it on launch and even on an XB1X it honestly looked like a 360 game, particularly the pre-rendered cutscenes which looked like straight up 720p Bink files. I flipped my copy a couple of days later, but I might redownload it if they've improved it at all.
actually the first week of December but yeah, only 3 months ago
it must not have sold well at all? :-/
The popularity of Game Pass and opportunity to sell season passes/the full game (it probably won't be on there in a few months) is essentially new marketing for a title that wasn't going to sell more at this point either way.
Mercenaries was the act to follow. Just Cause 2 was a cakewalk. Just Cause 3 was still too easy, but they at least shot back.
They fixed the performance issues, but at what cost?
We got Shadow of the Tomb Raider last month too, and that only came out in September.
I'm downloading to try it, but, why are people acting like this is an amazing addition?
Game is at a 68 on MC.

In the past it'd drop to $20 suddenly within a few months, this is just the new way of announcing a bomba I guess.
That being said, I don't regret my launch purchase. I liked it more than 3 (and 1 of course). Future updates might put it over 2 for me when all's said and done. The wind cannon almost makes up for the lack of a Ratchet game in recent years.
Great value, but mediocre game. Said as someone who was looking forward to it and who has played most of it.
Just Cause 4 is definitely better than the bland mess that was Just Cause 3, but it still has numerous issues and is far from great.

I couldn't disagree more. I was hugely disappointed with JC4, to the point that I returned my copy to EB games and went back to playing JC3.
I played Just Cause 3 when it came out, and actually had to stop because it was so bad and such a mess. The island and mission design were both really bland, and it performed like ass. It felt like a lower budget or F2P game.
I haven't touched it since
Just Cause 4 is no masterpiece, and is disappointing itself, but not as much.
Have these patches happened or are they yet to come still?

Darksiders III came to Origin Access Premier less than a month after it released.
I expect to see this kind of thing happen more and more.
