Backlog Burner Episode 15 :: Just Cause 3

Jay from Indian Noob writes:
"Just Cause wasn’t a great game by any means. But it did have a lot of unique ideas and mechanics which would be further solidified by its 2010 blockbuster sequel Just Cause 2. Just Cause 2 holds the test of time as one of my favourite gaming past times to this date. I must have spent like 400 hrs in the bloody bugger. So you’d expect me to have played the second sequel, Just Cause 3 by several hundred hours by now. Yet, here I am, literally forcing myself to play the damn game for the sake of clearing the backlog. What happened Just Cause 3? You were supposed to be the chosen one…"

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

Every Soulslike game ever made.

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

NotoriousWhiz397d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz397d ago

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

Brazz397d ago (Edited 397d 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.

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.

@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.

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.

Brazz397d ago (Edited 397d 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.

HeliosHex397d 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.

"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
