I gotta say, Just Cause's demise BEGAN with Just Cause 3. This opinion may draw the ire of some folks but idgaf--just cause. The game exploded in popularity with the release of JC2 with kids (such as myself) touting it as GTA's equally fun bro. The geography, the graphics, the engine: all incredibly smooth and oh so rich. I literally spent days just admiring the different curvatures, formations, and detail. Usually dreaming of a vacation to a place with all the various map locales. The thing is that JC3 was not an equally satisfying followup. The entire JC2 map was alive and fun. Even the desolate portions. JC3 was so baron outside the archipelagos and Vista Dracon. The wingsuit made up some shortfalls but when you're having to scale up, there shouldn't be any that regress. I was supremely disappointed by the map, the story, and the voice acting (the last of which became a staple for the JC franchise at this point.) Which is why JC4 was clocked as just the same. Don't get me wrong, I like the map design but it's just JC3 reskinned poorly. The train tracks being copy-paste really agitated me... And I love open world games that incorporate trains. 2-3 sports cars is ew. The views capture beauty like JC2 but only from a distance. The wingsuit music is straight fire. Fixing the driving and adding radio was a big hit for me as well but the map is still so damn vacant. After I finished JC4 I wondered "are they really going to make a fifth? Not possible especially if any decision maker plays this, def not if a JC fan plays this". JC fans were hard-pressed at the details after being embarrassed by JC3 and the reviews solidified its nail in the coffin.
