I nominated this for the GAME THAT DESERVES A SEQUEL Award so hopefully that means Half-Life 3 is Confirmed!!

A decent game but I feel it's the weakest of the series I'd rather go back and play the original Just Cause.
I was honestly disappointed by this game, but that dosen't mean it's a bad game.

I just wanted better than what I found this game to be. My opinion may change with a little more time playing the game but I doubt it will by much.
I'll post a full written review of the game here as soon a I can get around to it and I will explain what I think and how I feel tenfold... http://joeshonestgamereviews.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/just-cause-3-review.html

9/10
The first episode took me 4 Hours to play through with slow to reasonably paced gameplay taking notice of every little detail. I did miss 5 photo taking oppertunities though so there was 6 achivements that I didn't unlock.
Anyway I guess 4 Hours of game play is okay for an Episode of an episodic game, I guess. I wish there was an agreed standard of how long episode should take on average on an episodic game, In my opinon The Walking Dead episodes last too short but all played together I just think it playes better like a full game it lasts over a day to a few days (depening on how long you play for and how you pace your way through the game) this I prefer to having to wait for episodes. Luckily for me I got The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us when all episodes were out. Although with The Walking Dead Season Two which I got at the third episode after playing to this piont I had to wait for 4 and 5 to continue playing. It's not that I'm agianst episodic gaming it's just that it buggs me having to wait especially when it can be more than just a month or so between episodes. I'm having this right now with Dreamfall Chapters and damn it is annoying waiting for the next episode to release to continue a story driven game, if games like this had a free-roaming aspect or mode it'd make it more reasonable in my opinion. Ok I'll stop ranting now.

Pro's/Con's
Solid and Immersive and has an engaging story.
Most if not all choices make sense

You get to waste time at the start by reading a girls journal well it's your journal you are a girl, what? Yes it's the character you play as's journal but playing the game as a man it makes you feel like your reading a girls journal if you forget or pretend for a secound your not that character.

Great attention to detail
The graphics are pretty and feel simular to Beyond: Two Souls this is also a funny happenstance as you are also playing a girl character but in some places they are simple, not like thats a bad thing.
One thing I did find wierd at first is how the controlls worked selecting stuff, but this might just be me I was clicking at things and trying to move cursor near the Item like an idiot before I figured out you click in the circle and move the cursor near the text, yeah that was wierd at first.


Ps. Getting back to the achivements I missed which was six of Episode One's achievements, 5 of them were photo taking opportunities I wasn't aware I missed when playing, 'till I check the achivements list after finishing the episode that is. The 6th Achivement was for getting all the achievements for taking all the photo's of things, so Touché.
I think this is the game developers begging me to give the game another play through before March.
