Great series with iffy first entries Anonymous 09/18/2025 (Thu) 21:27:37 Id: 7b4390 No. 1765127
>Just Cause Less iffy and more downright bad, many JC fans have never played or even seen the first game in the series, leading to the joke "Just Cause starts at 2". Buggy, empty, repetitive, janky, did I mention buggy? Because it is SO buggy, it's bugging out absolutely all the time at every moment, there is never a period where this game is not struggling to keep itself from collapsing; vehicles that don't work, physics that don't work, explosives that glitch more often than they function, NPCs that can't stop themselves from killing their own, a camera that frequently finds itself under the map. Realizing the enormous scale of the map will strike you with awe the first time you play it, and the gameplay will ensure there's no second time. >Arena While having some very cool elements and a fun spell creation system, TES1 is an odd and obviously slap dashed game that went through wild development swings. The dungeons are infamously a mess and it's so unbalanced towards magic that playing a non-spellcasting class is effectively challenge mode. It struggles from a lack of real content beyond procgen dungeon crawling, and while it is fun for a dungeon crawler from the era, there are better in the genre. The sequel improves upon it in every way. >Codename 47 Just not fun. If you've played C47 you know it's terrible, shocking it ever got a sequel let alone turning into one of gaming's premier stealth franchises. Beyond the very toybox-esque levels you'd expect for a game from 2000, everything about it feels unpleasant and it's frequently very difficult in a bad way, even the camera is in an awkward position. Most of the hits aren't well designed and some appear literally impossible to do stealthily. C47 also commits one of the worst sins of a stealth game: the AI is wildly inconsistent and hard to predict.

>>1806372 >he was a massive problem player the entire time doing everything from lying about his dice rolls to sexually harassing other players and a pervy fuck in general. This is the kind of shit that gets me self conscious of the way I play my characters in roleplay, specially when I'm still a noob and already have a history of characters being social menaces in their own merit. That said, I get where lying about dice rolls comes from, sometimes you just want to roll good and the dice refuse to cooperate (cue my d20 going no higher than 9 last session)... but still, sometimes the fun of the game comes with rolling low.
On the topic of Just Cause, did you know they left a test island in the final game? It appears to test biomes swaps, textures, and geometry. It's X:24474 Y:902 if you want to check it out.
>>1806670 Huh, I've played the shit out of JC2 for years but never knew about this.
What would the inverse of this be? Games with a great first entry, and constant subsequent disappointments. My highly controversial picks for such examples
>>1815213 Jak 2 and 3 are great, fuckoff

>>1815213 FEAR is a perfect example of this. First game was peak but after the first amazing expansion it was all downhill.

>>1815213 Diablo
>>1817717 Yep, tiered loot made Diablo 2 a chore and retards pretended it was good. So now we must suffer through absolute trash RPGs with this awful cookie cutter reskin system.
>>1815213 they keep trying to be big and bombastic and it just doesnt feel as fun
>>1765127 Im gonna get booed but they really outdone themselves they made a 7 first game into a 10 second game. second one so good, the third being a 9 was seen as lackluster. actually this applies to both games made by this developer

>>1815213 I don't know if only two games count as a series. But the difference is night and day.
>>1765251 Beyond spawning a great sequel, I think JC1's biggest triumph is how impressive is for a 6th gen console game. Do you know it was big in Brazil? The PS2 version specifically. Do any Latinos here know what that's about?
>>1765127 What is a toybox-esque levels?
>>1818702 >Open World sanbox game set in a Latino country where you play as Rico Rodriguez character from the Mariachi series >Can do stunts >Has fantastic Latino music and aesthetics You don't have to be a favela monkey to understand the appeal, just hits closer to home to them.
>>1815213 Dragon Age? Origins is the only one i've ever heard positive things about.

>>1818740 Were I to assume: small, unconvincing spaces trying to represent locations such as cities or resorts. Like a toy set interpretation of the world.

>>1819061 I will never forgive normalfags for corrupting this meme
>>1818702 it was called scorpion not just cause the scorpion loading screen was really cool >>1818807 you think too much we liked the scorpion and doing missions where we plant dynamite on cars and do cool spy shit.
>>1818838 Origins and Battlefield 1 prove that the average retard still hasn't woken up from the propaganda being fed to them.
>>1820521 >it was called scorpion not just cause Source? >And do cool spy shit Literally countless games where you do that, Just Cause 1 was popular in LATAM due to it's LATAM setting along with cool spy shit.
>>1825819 You mean Battlefield V? The only propaganda I remember was that playing as a White Army scout made you play as a chick. Unless you're upset over the whole Harlem Hellfighters thing, which would be very silly for muktiple reasons. V was the one that added all the woke progressive garbage.
>>1826043 Battlefield 1 had niggers, women and was a flanderized parody of WW1. You have to be blind and stupid not to see it.
>>1826669 Ah, so you are one of those extra special people, carry on then. THERE'S A NIGGER BEHIND YOU LOOK OUT!!!!!!!
>>1818838 The sequels actually have better gameplay though, even if pre-patched DA2 had issues with archer stunlock

>>1826752 Is Xitter down or something? Battlefield 1 and V creative director was a literal communist with a degree in revisionist hostory.
>>1826836 >pic Topjej
>>1826808 >sequels had better but still weak/shallow gameplay FTFY.
>>1826043 >Harlem Hellfighters Literally all the multiplayer models for most western front armies were like 60% negro. Granted French you could say it's Senegalese, but the Brits? The Americans who didn't desegregate the army until the 50's? The fucking Germans?
>>1826836 >Battlefield 1 and V creative director was a literal communist with a degree in revisionist hostory. That's why I never even touched V. 1 never felt like forced diversity to me until they added muh stronk wymin snipers. >>1827493 >Literally all the multiplayer models for most western front armies were like 60% negro. Mental illness posting I see, bold move.
>>1806372 >there goes me ever wanting to play it You shouldn't want to play JC4 regardless of who voices Rico, it's a rushed mess with the shortest dev cycle in series history. It actually has less stuff in it than JC3 and somehow it also looks worse. Off the top of my head >No pistols >No explosives >No liberations >Bizarre technical issues rivaling the first game >Worse controls for vehicles >Every second mission is an escort mission >Grappling made awkward with a loadout system >Worst story in the series If I sat here I could come up with more, but ignore JC4. Its VA is the least of its problems.
>>1828670 >1 never felt like forced diversity to me You have yet to break mainstream media conditioning
>>1828670 He's not even wrong, every Western faction had 2 nigger classes. Amerisharts and commies know 0 shit about European history.
>>1825829 >>it was called scorpion not just cause >Source? I was 8 and all my older cousins said the game is the coolest ever
