 What is it? It's an open world, mission-based sandbox game about a guy with a momentum-cancelling hookshot and infinite parachutes. Also something about southeast Asia and dictators and modern Western imperialism, but who gives a poo poo about that when you've got a hookshot and parachute? I sure don't. What kind of LP is this? This is in no way a serious game, so this will be in no way a serious LP. I'm going to spend a lot of time trying to do stuff that looks cool, and not a lot of time thinking about the paper-thin 'story' that strings the action along. Are you going to 100% the game? Maybe if you paid me, but otherwise gently caress no. Is there going to be any thread participation? Well, you can pay me to 100% the game. Aside that. Of course. In a game as silly as this, I have gently caress all to talk about in an informative manner, so I'm going to have guest commentators join me in... pretty much every video, if I can manage it. If you're interested, just post in the thread or hit me up on Skype (same username). What if we just want to participate from the thread? There will still be chances there, too! The missions are focused around three factions, so everyone will have the chance to vote on which faction we do missions for. Additionally, I am a sucker for fan art and stuff like that, and may think of some way to reward contributions of that nature. This seems oddly familiar. Shut up.

Episode 13: Slight Delay - featuring CJacobs What do you mean I haven't updated this LP in four years? I don't remember that happening. So hey, if I can drag anyone back into this thread, how about a vote? We're due up for faction missions, so who should get the honor - the Ular Boys, the Roaches. or DAH REEPAHS?

It's so good to have an LP featuring Rico "loving Massive Explosions" Rodriguez back in business again. On a related note, I'd be happy to throw my hat in the ring as a potential commentator-I've lost many good hours of my life to this game and annihilating everything in sight. Do you plan on doing anything with the multiplayer mod after the main LP is (hopefully) wrapped up? That seems like it'd make for amazing stream material.

You're ... you're still alive? Wow! I suppose I should vote on a faction, but ... whatever. I'm still up for co-commentating, if you're OK with rants about why JC2 is a better game than JC3. (The answer is rings. So much flying/driving/boating through rings. loving rings.)

Technically, no. Unless you want to unlock upgrades. Which in quite a few cases, you really do.

JC3 felt like JC2.5. That's not really a bad thing, but they made your grappling hook more amazing and added awesome wingsuit stuff at the cost of driving. I am still tempted to go back and play more JC2 some times. I really enjoy these games.

Shinjobi posted:JC3 felt like JC2.5. That's not really a bad thing, but they made your grappling hook more amazing and added awesome wingsuit stuff at the cost of driving. I wouldn't say it's like JC2.5 because some of the changes are just ... weird. Specifically some of the stuff they removed that JC2 had. For example, the minimap is gone. You no longer have a health bar, but on the other hand you now always regen to full health. Individual weapon and vehicle upgrading is now gone. Instead you can unlock upgrades via challenges. Which for vehicles, means racing. Money is gone, which means that you get "black market" vehicles and weapons using a somewhat weird pickup system where you have a limited number of drops/fast travels before you have to restock them. The pickups to do that are weirdly spread out and in some cases unlocked by completing events that randomly spawn in the world. (And by limited, I mean one. Increasing that limit involves races.) The upgraded grappling hook and upgraded upgraded grappling hook (assuming you can find those challenges - some of the few that don't involve driving through rings!) are amazing and the wingsuit is a great addition once you understand enough about how it works that it stops being an "instant lawn dart into the ground" button, but that doesn't really make up for the weird steps back from JC2. Like, in the last video, CirclMastr was able to keep the helicopter flying despite there being anti-air defenses. Helicopters in JC3 are basically flying bombs that die almost instantly, and you no longer have the ability to upgrade vehicle health. Plus, without the minimap, you frequently find yourself in "where the gently caress are those missiles coming from" situations, while you spin the camera around trying to figure out why your shiny new helicopter is spewing black smoke.

So uh, I have good news and bad news to everyone voting Ular Boys. The bad news is, I said the next video would be the other Reaper missions because I'd already recorded the footage. So yeah, Reapers are still next, but Ular Boys will follow that. The good news is, the next three Reaper missions are actually decent.

Episode 16: Just Cause 3 Apparently Sucks - featuring xenoveritas So, with the next set of stronghold missions being really close to unlocked, it's time for a vote on the next video! Option 1: Car Safari complete with on-screen timer shenanigans, with some screwing around to build up the chaos (possibly offscreen). Option 2: General Chaos perhaps with live commentary instead of post! Just blowing poo poo up, killing colonels, etc., until the strongholds unlock. Option 3: Roaches missions which will be more than enough to unlock strongholds. Hell, with 5 Roaches missions, it might go past strongholds and unlock the next Agency mission too.

Oh. I'd forgotten that races in Just Cause 2 are substantially better than in Just Cause 3. So I mentioned JC3 ties races to upgrades, right? And that some of these upgrades are things like "being allowed to use the Fast Travel system more than once" or "being allowed to use the Black Market more than once?" What I didn't mention is that you're scored on those races, from 1-5 gears. These gears are what unlocks upgrades. So not only do you need to complete races, you need to do the races almost perfectly to get those five gears. And you can pick which car you use for them, and the five gear score is based on using the absolute fastest vehicle with basic upgrades. Basically, you need to be perfect when doing races in JC3, they're nowhere near as forgiving as the races in JC2. Yeah.

It's funny hearing you lot talk about how unnatural Bolo's accent is- it's actually quite accurate with respects to Chinese Singaporeans/Malays where I live. If anything, I'm a little more giggly over the fact that this supposed hardcore rebel leader sounds like she's teaching English to a bunch of primary school kids.

It's less like somebody with the actual accent and like somebody sticking so closely to a script that was written phonetically.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:It sounds very forced and unnatural. It's less like somebody with the actual accent and like somebody sticking so closely to a script that was written phonetically. Oh no, I assure you, it's an actual accent that I've heard from people holding actual conversations with me. It's dying out among the younger generation, and was/is practically nonexistent among those who managed to study abroad, but for those older Malaysians and Singaporeans who learned their English here, it's spot-on. I don't think you'd be able to get most of the jokes in this routine or this clip, but I'm sure you can hear a 'classier' (for lack of a better term) version of Bolo's accent. That said, it certainly sounds careful- I get the impression the voice actress IS a native English speaker, but still trying to enunciate things as clearly as she could. CirclMastr posted:Relevant to this episode! Yeesh, it hasn't been a century since the Brits left us- how quickly we are forgotten. EDIT: By the way, the 'k's in "Walk in the park" are perfectly audible  Also, found the best version of Bolo's accent- this time from our (Malaysia's) ex-Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.

It seems to me that the three factions are meant to resemble the big political 'isms'. The Reapers are Communists, the Roaches are Capitalists, and the Ular Boys are Nationalists, borderline Fascists.
