if you haven't, please play just cause 3. it is genuinely one of the greatest games ever made and the entire premise is: ok here's your grappling hook, parachute, wingsuit, bombs, and guns, now go blow up every thing and/or person with red on it. there is a story (and it's decent) but who cares, you upgrade your shit by doing cool stunts and the main mode of progression is a how-much-shit-have-you-blown-up-in-this-area meter.
the story is much better in jc2 but it's so hard to go back to with how well executed the movement was in 3. it's a shame they skimped on the writing.
like, the final boss in 2 is a fist fight on a flying cluster of ICBMs. the final boss in 3 is... a helicopter.
yeah the story isn't amazing but everything else is the best ever made
