Isn't JC2 actually impossible to 100% due to a bug where one of the destructible objects either doesn't show up or doesn't count properly?

Yes, but there are any number of mods that fix it. It's a missing water tower, so any mod that adds it in will restore 100% completion ability.

Episode 21: Better Call Saul (Sukarno) - featuring Liquid Dan (AKA Danaru)

For reference, here's a handy chart to... not really EXPLAIN Dan's state of mind, but at least elaborate upon it:


I know this is a longer video, but I'm priming for longer videos because 1) it will be quite a few more faction missions before the final mission unlocks, and 2) the final mission is pretty drat long.

Remind me to preorder a few crates and have it delivered by a serdadu. :v:

Driving down the ski slope is really hard if you drive fast, you slide and spin and crash into trees. Driving slow and careful isn't too difficult and you're pretty much guaranteed to make it. Also the proper way to get down from that mountain is to go over a cliff in one of the limos.

I could complain some more about Just Cause 3 if you want more chatter.

Although one of the nice things they did was make it so that you carry infinite placed explosives. You can't throw them any more, but you have an infinite number of them.

Sort of.

You can only place three at once initially, but that can be increased through UPGRADES!

Did you guess you upgrade them through races? WRONG! ...ish.

You upgrade them by driving from one point to another point in some vehicle that has the bomb from Speed installed in it. (You go below a certain undefined "too slow" for too long and it blows up.) And they're timed. And you're scored on the same five-star gear system as every other Challenge. Edit: Oh, and of course if you flip the vehicle, it explodes.

On the other hand, Rico apparently kept the special hacking software for aerial defenses or something, because in JC3 SAM sites are no longer chaos objectives and instead are things you can "hack" to make them target enemy aircraft.

And are also placed in rear end in a top hat places to prevent you from having fun with helicopters, like the inside of a large cavern.

So basically JC3 was the work of two competing teams? One designing the ultimate playground, the other sabotaging them every step of the way?

It sure seems like that because the parts of the game where you're just running around blowing poo poo up are legitimately a blast.

Unfortunately, some of the best fun in the game is locked behind upgrades. Like you can pretty effectively use the grapple to completely destroy a base - but only after you've upgraded it so that it doesn't instantly break if you try and pull large objects.

Episode 22: Roaches Part 1 - featuring xenoveritas
Episode 23: Roaches Part 2 - featuring xenoveritas

Conjoined into one update for the sake of... me wanting to do that, I suppose.

So hey it's time to vote on something! Should I finish the last faction missions, or skip straight to the final Agency mission?

Always faction missions. There is still wonderful voice acting involving sexual innuendo and disease to be experienced.

Definitely gotta say more faction missions.

Now I just need a co-commentator for the finale.

Bring us all in. Make it a giant clusterfuck.

Or, better, find someone who hasn't watched the ending because the ending is definitely a thing that should be experienced.

I'M SORRY, OK!? I admit I've made some mistakes, and Jones has clearly paid for them.
...
But ma'am! Jones' only crime was looking at the wrong files!

I beg of you, don't ship away Jones, he has a wife and kids!

Do the clusterfuck AFTER the final mission, if possible. Try and find someone who hasn't seen the end of this game yet first.

I already recorded the footage for the finale.

Maybe we can do some sort of Car Safari Clusterfuck and get a bunch of commentators in on it. Just a matter of figuring out a time when people are available.

I don't know why I'm surprised I haven't got a guest commentator for the finale yet.

Episode 25: Not a Moment Too Soon - featuring Waffleman_

So as you can see, the final mission and the ending are perfectly reasonable and not at all silly.

If there's any interest in the clusterfuck video I'll probably do one, but it is hard enough to get ONE guest, let alone a clusterfuck-full.

Thanks for finishing off this crazy-rear end game! It's definitely up there for craziest videogame endings ever.
