I've taken more balls to the face then I did in gym class.

June 23rd 2017 update: someone on reddit posted a screenshot of OpenIV being updated, it's back AFIK. Thumbs Up.

Pretty good resourcemagment game, normally I'm not into these but the writing is good and there's at least one damn funny alien character. Downside right now is collecting the resources is tidious having to send out one or multiple units just to keep a constant supply of metal, fuel, dark matter, and new citzens going. Information overload was a slight problem for me at first too, from managing and construting the starbase rooms, building new ships, commanding and figuring out how to obtain new officers, etc.

Highly recommend for people who like X-com, FTL and sid myers civilzation.

Had fun at first most of the playtime is idling and it's a downright "skinner box" game. Likely offers great insight to what people with compulisive gambling might feel like. Wasting your time, money and engery on a fruitless endenvor. Gets really old after a week.

1. Lots of DLC. wait for sales of 75%+ off unless it's new-ish DLC from the last month or two.
2. it's really not "pay to win". you can win without buying any DLC it's just easier with the DLC.
3. overkill might of learned their lessons on everything the community got angry over.
4. If you start playing the game now, you will never have everything unlocked in terms of masks and even a paint for said masks.
5. weapon skins are estinally useless.

I'm a very casual fan of this game series, im far from a expert. however, I've been having fun with this game. It's just drive from point a to point B, try not to speed and don't hit anything.

my biggest complaint about the game is the city's aren't that big. I personally live in Stockton California and it's tiny in this game. Like maybe 20000% smaller in the game then in reality. It also takes over 30 mins to get from Stockton to Sacramento, in this game it only takes about one or two tops. the screney is pretty, you can add your own music or listen to internet radio stations.

The game isn't really that complex, but i'm only doing single missions. I haven't bought any trucks, hired other drivers, or got that deep into the game yet. but from what I've seen of the serires the core is always just to play, drive around and complete deliveries.

The first day has a really big map, It's scanvenger hunt but with goats. At least half of them require you to do stuff like hack power boxes, fight a fire, to get to said goats. It's kinda confusing if not overwhelming really.

The worst part about it is. You start off facing a crowd of civs but there are gansters or cops in said crowd, and the cops have freaking Bronco guns! they pack a punch. also the goats can and will kick you to take like 15% damage.


day 2 is a lot like CS:GO bank. Send goats via skyhook cage then after that drive a car to escape like it's Car Shop. Only with a bridge you need to turn/activate to escape. It's a pretty long heist. The payout is decent on overkill something like 10-12 Million.

10/10 would get eaten by a tiger again.

UPDATE: Jan 15, 2016. today I got a new GPU a R9 380 with 4GB of memeory. I ran the game again after getting it installed and making sure im on the latest AMD card driver.

@ 1080 on mostly all high, medium settings. i'm getting 25-35 fps. in the middle of a lake...

:(


Stay away, horribly shoddy port.
--------------------------------------------------------

Launch issues galore. Read the fourms to see the varying issues. Bottom line, poor preformance on decent or even high end rigs.

I really do think all these issues *will* be fixed but no point in buying it right now. Will change this review when/as needed. I bought my copy outside of steam so it ain't going anywhere.

-----------------------------------

December 14th. Still no patch for preformance issues (both AMD and Nvidia have it.)

haven't seen a AMD driver for JC3 yet. just a hotfix to Crimson 1.0 or whatever.


i have to run this game at like 1280x1024 or whatever on lowest settings on my 1080p monitor. getting 35-60 fps and it's not exploisions making the frame rate drop or at least not fully them.

I run Mad Max @ 1080p at damn near max settings and get a very soild, 50-60 fps frame rate in that game.

Specs are:
3570k
7870 HD 2GB ram
8GB DDR3 1600 mhz ram

just Cause 3 uses somewhere 4.65 GB's of my ram alone on the menu screen. Seriously? I've seen people complain about a memeory leak but i haven't seemingly dealt with it, unless it's a painfully slow leak.

Hilarious pinball tables, both are great if your a fan of south park.
