Has the promised console patch hit yet? I stopped playing when I got to a mission that was so juddery, I literally got killed by frame rate issues (xbox one)

It's poorly optimised, there are other games that look much better and hold frame rate much better EG FarCry 4 and Primal etc

Null19803734d ago

That may be true, but neither Far Cry you just mentioned features the amount of destructability that Just Cause 3 does. You're comparing apples to oranges. I am really looking forward to the patch tomorrow though! Yea, it hasn't run well, but still has been completely playable for me and a hell of fun once you get really creative with your destruction.

starsi3603734d ago

Totally know where you are coming from with that - however when a ton of stuff is blowing up and bits flying everywhere it seems to hold up okay, its more when there are lots of enemy soldiers & AI involved that it nosedives.

But if they cant achieve smooth performance then maybe they should scale the ideas back a little...

I do find that games keep releasing with performance issues and then a couple of months down the line they get fixed/improve. It seems to be the norm now to rush the product out and fix it later.

Makes me wonder about the value in paying full price for a game on release day when I can buy it a couple of months later for (possibly) half the price and with improved performance.

AC Unity is a good case of that!

£40 for a buggy mess... or buy it 2 months later for £10-15 and it's a much better product to boot!

The press release states the patch is out tomorrow, the 4th of March, and promises to fix a number of issues related to performance.

This one sure disappeared from the radar fast, you never hear anyone talking about it.

Don't feel bad on Xbox One, I saw the biggest resolution glitch ever on PS4 for Just Cause 3. I was riding on top of a moving truck in a mission, it was a conjoy type mission. Every time I would look behind me. The screen ripped hard, when I mean hard I mean the rip took up 85% of my tv screen atleast. It would stop as soon as you would turn facing forward and was fine. Weird.

To be perfectly honost, the framrate/resolution problems doesn't bother me for this game. I can live with it, for that game. The game itself is a load of fun. I don't know why no ones talking about it though. Fun game. The way you travel in the game, not fast travel, but using the wingsuit/parachute/grapple is amazing expierence. It makes traveling in other open world games boring almost.

I'm glad there is an update though. Maybe they can stable things out a bit

MK24ever3734d ago

They need to fix the vehicles handling, the loading times need further improvement, the framerate can be so bad that it really gets in the way of having fun and many more stuff needs to be improved, I'm a huuuuuge Just Cause 2 fan and was really hyped for JC3, but JC3 became one of the biggest disappointments I ever had with a video game.

starsi3603734d ago

I agree.

Resolution in games I'm really not too fussed about. But frame rate is king. It really ruins the experience at times. There was a section where the controls were really unresponsive due to the slow down and I just kept getting knocked to the ground over and over again...

Who decides if a games story is average idefinitely ain't listening to no reviewers. I don't agree with most of then anyway. I think alot of them are to harsh on games so they can get clicks

banger881135d ago

Every Soulslike game ever made.

refocusedman1135d ago

zelda has a story line? Actually do any nintendo 1st party games have decent (not even good) storylines?

NotoriousWhiz1135d ago

Does Xenoblade count as 1st party? That's the only one I can think of.

NotoriousWhiz1135d ago

Also, Ocarina of time definitely had a decent (but not great) story.

Brazz1135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

Zelda average story line!? Zelda Story sucks, most time It comes to "save the princess", Nintendo sucks at story outside Fire Emblem and perhaps 1-2 other IPs.

DOMination-1135d ago

Actually the Souls games and Zelda games share something in common, which is that they reward gamers for seeking out the story rather than thrusting it in their faces. Not saying this is better or worse, but it's unfair to say they don't have them.

People will be surprised to learn that if you dig a bit deeper into Zelda games, there's a whole lot of really dark and crazy stuff happening.

RaiderNation1135d ago

@DOMination

Thrust in your face??? I assume by that you mean basic story-telling 101? Lol.

I platinumed both Niohs but for the life of me, couldn’t tell you what happened in the story lol! I can namedrop Nobunaga, but that’s about it.

ChasterMies1135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

The pinnacle of bad story but great gameplay is Destiny and Destiny 2. What is the Traveler? What is the Darkness? What the heck is happening? No one knew. But shooting the aliens and robots felt so good.

Brazz1135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

Article os about "average" story. But If you wanna talk about bad story but great gameplay you need to look at Nintendo, they are the masters at making poor shirt story on great gameplay.

HeliosHex1135d ago

@deus. If you want more of the story fleshed out in detail I'd recommend the destiny grimoire anthology 1-6 25 bucks each. It's really good I loved the backstory on the guns.

Relientk771135d ago

"I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain."

Is my favorite line from Destiny's "story" lol

GotGame8181135d ago

Sorry, but the princess is in another castle.
