OMG, i thought I was the only one! Jc3 was great, but JC4 felt like a slog.

the moment-to-moment gameplay and movement of jc3 is so much better that you basically can't go back to 2. it's a lot more freeform and fast, and the world is much more dynamic (even though it's a lot smaller and less varied). the dlcs are also fun, with brand new mechanics compared to the base game.

the crime is that the story is ass and the characters are not memorable. the spectacle of the final boss battle of jc2 is repeated within the first two hours of 3, but then the final boss of 3 is just a single helicopter that you can dispatch just as easy as any other in the game.

i've 100%ed them both. 3 is about 1/4th of the content of 2.

I haven't gotten enough into JC2 to answer that question, but you just gave me another reason to play the game.

Um ... characters in JC3 ... well Mario gets developed. You get to see him dancing to a boom box. And he sends you to steal a scooter from some girl he doesn't like. ... There's an announcer on the radio that crows about your victories. ... There are some silly characters added with the DLCs. ... And Sheldon. ... But mostly I didn't notice the characters.

SR4 was also way better written and acted than it had any right to be.

FC is nothing like Just Cause. Totally different games bro.
