Just Cause 4 Review Thread
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
I've never played a Just Cause game, but I'd like to jump in at some point due to the game's freedom. I'm wondering if this might be the game, despite some of the lower scores. I think I won't mind the limited changes and dated design mentioned in the OP excerpts.
have now seen footage and it looks like a launch window game in many ways. awful IQ, really bad motion blur, very bad shadows with artifacts everywhere, awful AO haloing. it really just looks like a mess.
I'm downloading it now but it's not going to be ready until early tomorrow morning.
I hope I'll enjoy it a lot more than I did Just Cause 3. The reviews seem decent, and I don't expect absolute triple A quality from these games. If it's 3/4 as fun as Just Cause 2...

The reviews are mixed but some are really high and some are mediocre. Yet this thread is acting like it's a disaster. Why?
How did they manage to mess that up? Previous JC games had pretty great water rendering.
Same. Playing at 1440p and the texture loading is just a jumbled messed. I have no idea what is going on. One minute it looks fucking amazing then the next its like nothing is loaded.
My PC Specs: 8700k @ 4.8ghz, 16GB @3000Mhz, GTX1070
Game run smooths at 60fps on High but thats not the issue.
Yeah which is why i said unfinished mess moreso than ugly. The geometry,foliage and lighting is great.Its like they arrived at a break off point in terms of performance and insteadof starting optimization they just released it. Some of thos n64 textures they hit you right in the story mission cant have been intentional or missed.
Yep and Rico's character detail is all over the place. One scene it is great then the next you are looking at what I think is a PS3 character model. Hopefully patches will be released because it destroys immersion for me.
Also is it just me or are half the cutscene recorder of a ps3 with very low bitrate?
And hah, the game's gamma curve.
Someone should try entering a river in the night to see something wonderful.
Gamers have no concept of nuance. It's either GOTY or garbage.
According to the Steam discussions for JC4, there's a bug in the settings that causes it to revert to low. You have to change the settings to how you want them, turn Fullscreen to off, apply, then turn it back to On, apply, and it should stick.
I'm still on the fence about getting it, but I'll prob break down and do so.

Yeah but hasn't it looked like JC3.5 from everything we've seen since reveal?
I don't get how anyone is surprised.
Because all reviews so far have been for the PC version, but not a single one for PS4/XBOX, which apparently looks and runs worse.
did they finally add co-op to Just Cause?
because if they didn't what's the point.
adding co-op in Just Cause would be the feature that would really improve the experience and make it super fun.
i guess we have to wait for PS5 for co-op?.....

This is true
There are some for all versions on Metacritic
That's beta footage. Vehicle handling was changed in the release version and further changed post-release.
Well none of them seem to be talking about the issues people are facing on consoles so their inclusion in the console head is useless.
Hell that abonimable water is even present on max pc settings and no one seems to mention it.
The game sometimes being so ugly in regards to water or textures looking bad sounds like a bug to me. It sounds like something that can be patched without too much hassle, it just sounds like a streaming issue to me. Remember before AC Odyssey came out and people were freaking out about the low textures on Pro? It was the same kind of streaming bug.
I have no idea what's going on with the cutscenes in the game though. I don't think I've ever seen this particular issue before.

made by a different studio. they probably just arent very good
Seems like a streaming issue from what I read because it's plaque with it, there's even some textures that don't show up. JC isn't really good for console due to how bad their cpu are
Honestly, I'll take a Just Cause 3 that's actually playable. I REALLY hope this game runs well on ps4 :/
All this talk about graphic issues is making me worried.
It's not a deal breaker but JC2 was a looker back in the day, the water looked great and the performance was amazing considering the consoles (and the RAM!) they had to work with.
Please be fixed with a couple of patches. I just wanna fly around and blow things up smoothly.

To be fair, JC3 ran pretty well with boost mode on PS4 Pro. A massive upgrade when when you flip it on. Ended up playing quite a bit of it last summer. The checklist fatigue broke my motivation eventually, but I had a blast for about 20 hours, never finished it though.
Definitely grabbing this on discount next year.

It's a setting. You can also change it to retract manually if you hold the d-pad or retract automatically if you tap d-pad.
I think there are multiplayer mods for Just Cause 2 and 3 on PC, but nothing for consoles sadly. I remember watching gameplay of JC2's multiplayer mod back when it was popular and was really hoping they'd add some type of multiplayer/co-op to future releases on console. Really sucks they haven't done it yet.
Yeah mine unlocked at 6 central. Just started playing on Xbox as well.
For the record there are no streaming issues, those largely exist in shadows and lod but not in textures. ive played for about 5 hours and ive used this gun for the last 2 which has this horribly blotchy texture which isnt planning to load in higher quality assets any time soon.
And the water is super shit even pc (0 tesselation , only a plain reflective surface with fuzzy textures) .
Theres even rail tracks in the desert that are just textures.
