Just Cause 4 performed below expectations; "we sold fewer units on launch than we had anticipated"

DSOGaming writes: "During its latest financial results briefing session, Square Enix revealed that Just Cause 4 performed below expectations and that it sold fewer units than what Square Enix had anticipated. Given the state of the game we are not really shocked by this news, though we don’t know whether this is the final nail in the Just Cause series coffin."

Its just not a good game. I was never into this series.

[SegaGamer]

I got bored after the 2nd one. It was just the same thing on repeat, it got boring.

[neutralgamer1992]

What did you expect? You guys are the kings of making average games. Since JC2 very little has changed

[sander9702]

I actually enjoy Just Cause 4 and I still play it. It feels a bit like a Pandemic game would but not as good.

[GTgamer]

After you burned me with JC3 game which was unplayable with that terrible framerate so I damn sure wasn't gonna buy JC4.

[Father__Merrin]

just cause 3 frame rate was terrible indeed. in base ps4 and xbox some places were extremly bad even when i had it on the pro it was same. when i got it on pc omg ive never had a game before where ive had to mess with graphics settings so much i ended up using a trainer to blow through the game quickly to see what it had then uninstall

[GTgamer]

Exactlyyyyy

[DerekTweed]

Just Cause 4 has no frame rate issues at all buuuuttt.... It looks like shit

[GTgamer]

good to know they waited til the next game to fix the damn frame rate

[GOULDYBOBS]

It was bland rinse and repeat as usual. But with what felt like less things to destroy

[MajorLazer]

The destruction seems so superficial too. I'd love a JC with a smaller map but way better destruction and a lived in world that doesn't seem so empty and lifeless.

[DerekTweed]

If I remember correctly, you needed to complete the locations in just cause 3 by blowing up all the things, like a check list.

In just cause 4 the only reason to blow stuff up was to increase the chaos meter. I think some stuff even respawned after a while.

[Psychotica]

My son and I both enjoyed JC3 on our PC's, bought the DLC's too. But neither of us liked the JC4 that much and didn't even 25% complete on it.

[DarkMeans]

🗣📣 should've added multiplayer

[KillZallthebeast]

2 player coop would of been nifty. As long as it wasn't tethered like far cry

[Yi-Long]

After my poor experience with Just Cause 3 (PS+), which kicked me out of the single-player campaign because it couldn't connect to the server or whatever, I kinda dropped that game, and lost interest in the franchise.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the gameplay of Just Cause 3, but when developers go out of their way to implement a component (and implementing it poorly) which results in me staring at a locked screen for minutes while it's trying to reconnect to some server, it quickly means I'll be frustrated with the whole experience and move on to a game that just allows me to play it....

[demonicale]

Because the games suck!

[CrimsonWing69]

You need to space these sequel releases out and actually add things that make it feel really new and fresh.

[DerekTweed]

How spaced out do you think is enough? 3 year? 4? 5? 8? 10?

[CrimsonWing69]

4

[OneEyedSteve]

Serves them right for the shameful JC3. You lost people's trust after not fixing JC3s terrible frame rate, they are a disgrace imo for just ignoring it.

[InTheZoneAC]

I have jc2 and jc3 and a huge backlog. Sorry you put out jc4 before I beat the others. They're really the same game, one is last gen, the other is current gen. What does jc4 offer?

[Rambokind]

No one asked for this sequel, so you should listen to your audience next time.

[mkis007]

Thats what happens when you rush out a game that is clearly a step back from its predecessor. The water was fugly, and so was the antialiasing solution.

The game shouldnt have taken away features from previous entries.

[EricLane]

I always feel like mediocre games like this are made much more palatable when they have co-op. I see a comment about Pandemic. Off topic but I wish we could see a Mercenaries 3...

[drunkenspy007]

Maybe they should stop coming out with the same game each year and come out with something new and better.

[DerekTweed]

there was 3 years between just cause 3 and just cause 4 so I don't know what you're talking about.

Anyway, Just cause 4 just looked terrible, otherwise it was pretty fun for a couple of weeks

[drunkenspy007]

someone obviously didn't get the gist.

[SlagWolf]

Game was a massive broken mess on PC, I’m not touching trash like that and I love JC 2 and 3
