Just Cause vs Just Cause 3
Just Cause
Just Cause is the game to play if you enjoy just destroying anything and everything in your way while enjoying movie-like quality stunts and slow motion effects, which will naturally make your character look super cool. Featuring a wide variety of weapons and vehicles (sea, land and air), Rico (the character you'll be playing as) also has his iconic wingsuit which allows you to explore the island of San Esperito by air and grappling hook that allows you to use scale previously impossible cliffs or sides of buildings and more.Similar to Fallout, Just Cause provides players with total and complete freedom to do whatever they like, however they like. This applies to the game's many missions, side missions, bonus missions and more. The best part about this game though is its over-the-top stunts which in some way parody the crazy cinematically enhanced stunts and effects that many blockbuster Hollywood films use.
Although the storyline in this game falls flat, Just Cause gotten its golden ticket to fame due to the insane amount of explosive destruction that you are allowed to do and the awesome way your character looks when you do it. In a way, Just Cause is a game that's designed as a game-based release valve for all the penned up rage and stress from your everyday lives, giving you a vast game world (and perhaps egging you on) to smash virtual things and people in.
Just Cause 3
Just Cause 3 is the latest, and so far, the best Just Cause game within the franchise. Set in yet another tropical paradise - this time in the Mediterranean sea, you'll have over 1000 square kilometer of gorgeous landscape to explore and cause total chaos in... and fortunately, the game offers you a villain - a ruthless dictator who has the entire island population under his thumb - making it incredibly easy and fun to torment him by taking out his people and his critical buildings.As usual, albeit with hugely improved graphics and effects, you'll get to perform a wide variety of thrilling stunts - stunts that you can further combine to create new creative and exaggerated ways to wreak havoc. In addition to the many different types of missions, there are even plenty of collectibles to gather too.
However, for a game such as this one, you'll probably expect the storyline to be rather lackluster, which in this game, is exactly the case. But if you simply want to blow off some steam and cause trouble for a evil dictator that you can whole-heartedly hate, then, Just Cause 3 is the best possible game you can play.
