Ever tried the first one, Deepy? It should run great on your rig. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Yea, I was thinking of trying the first game now. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> Last time it lagged so bad because of my old rig and I couldn't enjoy nor get to know the game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
 
Bah.. screw it. Just Cause sucks at realistic movement. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Butbutbut...nothing in that game is realistic! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
That game doesn't fit with arcade IMO, Even flying a plane there is unrealistic. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ko" border="0" alt="ko.gif" />

Besides where can I get a helicopter? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
But that's what arcade is - unrealistic! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

You have to start liberating Montano cartel strongholds and military bases before you'll find any helicopters. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Games like Just Cause are better off being non-arcadeish. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
The first 10 minutes of someone playing the PS3 version: <a href="http://betav2.gamersyde.com/news_8003_en.html" target="_blank">http://betav2.gamersyde.com/news_8003_en.html</a>

There's a lot of people claiming it's boring, but that never means anything. Hell, most of the games I like, 90% of the rest of gamers hate. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Edit: WTF? The vehicles don't have damage models?! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

WHAT!?! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
 
Yeah, I know! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> You just get a goofy-ass damage meter in your HUD. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> I was hoping this would be like the FlatOut series, but with open-world racing. I guess not. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Is it THAT hard to do damage modelling? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Oh well - still looks like it's worth a run-through anyways. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Hell, 1nsane had fantastic damage modelling, and it was released in what, 1999? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> And it, too, was done by Assblasters. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
Assblasters? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Assblasters = Codemasters, the twits that made Fuel. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Codemasters generally make great games. Loved 1nsane, Grid and many of their racing games. They've also done a few really good fighting and RPG games.

So for them to do an open world type game and not include a damage model on the vehicles is kind of shocking.

Is Grid as good as it looks? I've heard lots of mixed reviews on it.

I've still got my old copy of 1nsane, which I bought years ago from, of all places, a Salvation Army store. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Can't beat racing tractors. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
I love Grid. It's a blast to play and you have a nice fat range of vehicles to choose from. Think of it this way, Grid is the street racing equivalent of Dirt, which is another of the awesome racing games they've done!

Sounds like that's another game to add to my "When I get a new computer" list. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

@Deepy: Heard of Borderlands yet? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_CXkWSGL88&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_CXkWSGL88...feature=related</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSvTqfmv3DE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSvTqfmv3DE</a>
 
Nope. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
 
Ok, I got FUEL and it's awesome, the only bad things are that there is no damage model, and no twisters in free roam.

Edit: Just noticed that there is a damage model.
 
There is? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
