Will have to say that I was kinda skeptical going into this one cause of what people say about the story and voice acting which is quite amusing to watch, but overall just absolutely horrible. However, the game-play itself is exciting fun!
The things you can do with your grappling hook and parachute are insanely fun and amusing. Check out the videos below to see what I mean:

I have the first and I found it very interesting, and the gameplay had a lot of variety to it and it was overall enjoyable and I didn't understand why I hadn't heard of it before. I tried the demo for JC2 and it seems to be about the same, so I will probably get it, but since I never had time to go very far into JC1 I'll wait a while for it, maybe grab it if I see it on sale on steam or something ^^b
There is a demo on steam though that I recommend, it's completely open and you can do whatever you want as in the full version of the game, but the catch is that there's a timer! :O Oh well, adds more demo replayability because you can do so much, just need to start over after time's up.

So I've put about 12 hrs into the game so far of the 238ish locations to visit and explore, I've visited like 15 and finished maybe 6 of them to 100%. This game is just incredible huge and is gonna take a long time to finish since I'm a completionist and sucker for filling up bars and collections...rofl
Still its quite fun to just grab a jet or plane and jump out on the roof in style mode, flying high above areas of interest or returning to an area I died in, then skydive in sometimes without a parachute open and just reel myself in with the grappling hook to almost any point of the location or atop a building instead of climbing it old fashioned way shooting the way to the top.
Then of course once your up there, skydive off, grapple onto a moving vehicle or boat, fight the driver with a QTE, and take it...then a few miles up the road as you reach ur next destination, parachute out of the vehicle as you begin to crash and fly into your next location, shooting up guards as you land.
Ah the things you can do in this game are just too much fun!

it sounds huge o.O
One question that's been nagging at me for a while now is what does the title mean? Does it mean "Just BEcause" or "Just (as in righteous) Cause"... Hmmmm... I also think that I think too much, but I won't think about that now...

Just Cause or Just Because would both fit. There are so many things you can do in this game that are, well; insanely impossible in most games or RL so in essence "just cause" you can...and it fits well...rofl

oh yeah that's right :p It's a little surprising to see them pull off such an action-packed sandbox game so I forget sometimes too!
I prefer to think it's Just Because, just... because! I don't think blowing up everything in the game is very righteous...

Yeah but its just so much fun because you can...rofl Its also the main point of the game, being that the more damage and things you blown up, the higher score you amass and the more that unlocks.

Why are you able to do something silly like this?
Just 'cause ;)
I've only played the demo, but I laughed my ass off at the stuff you could pull off. Especially the above stunt

That stunt can actually be quite helpful when you're in a firefight and need to get away quickly and all other routes 360' are heavily under incoming fire....go up then rofl!
Course you'll still get pelted by gunfire, but sometimes you can escape a death doing the stupids things with quick thinking.

That's hilarious XD Who came up with that idea I wonder... wouldn't be pretty if you hung on to that tank too long though. I may have to take a look at this game sooner than I anticipated. Why? Just 'cause!

Hrm....well that is why you should log into Vent more often, get a dern mic and tell me these things.
I need to restart my PC anyway, and keep more things closed when I broadcast...its eats a serious amount of power to do this and may appear choppy, but its playing fine for me!
