![]() It allows you the dash between covers, grapple people onto nearby vehicles to be dragged away, or grapple two people together so that they’ll knock themselves out. ![]() Somehow.Ĭombat in this game is pretty much like any standard third-person shooter, although the grappling hook does give you more options. ![]() It can even break your fall by dragging you towards the ground at a much higher speed. Scaling heights, hijacking vehicles, dragging snipers down from their perches to fall to their doom, this thing does it all. I have yet to race against a jet with this method, though.Īside from that, it gives you great maneuverability in urban environments, allowing you to flit among buildings like a sparrow overdosing on Red Bull. With enough practice, this will allow you to dash past sports cars with ease. When you have the parachute active, using the grappling hook on any surface will drag you towards the point and giving you a lot of horizontal momentum, and just enough lift to keep you in the air. Driving recklessly, jumping out of a plane, grapple hook yourself across the road, as long as you’re fast enough it’ll work. How this works is as follows: When you’re moving at a high enough speed, pressing spacebar will deploy your parachute, no matter how you reach that speed. ![]() Pardon the horrendous framerate, still tweaking around. This in combination with the infinite parachutes gives birth to to the slingshot travelling technique, which with practice is the fastest method of travel in the game, barring extractions: The issue becomes even more noticeable when I’m driving a vehicle at extremely high speeds.Īnd speaking of high speeds, we have to talk about the grappling hook. However, I do notice some rather bad texture pop-in which I’m not entirely sure how to fix, and I try to not go for the “build a decent PC” option due to a lack of cash. And on my current laptop it runs a lot better, allowing me to turn up some settings to better appreciate the game’s graphics. Sure, that’s far from impressive, but the game still looks decent and plays OK. But that same laptop runs Just Cause 2 at 1280 by 768 at a stable 30 FPS with the lowest settings, only dipping slightly when there’s a lot of stuff on the screen. I doubt it’s Prototype 2’s fault, because that laptop was horrendous. My old laptop used to run Prototype 2 at 640 by 480 with the lowest settings at >1 FPS. The extremely large and detailed map is one of Just Cause 2’s greatest strengths. Or take a 5-second break from what you’re doing at about every 20 minutes. Not to mention, looking at the sun rise is always a good way to start the game. The weather effects and water looks stunning as well. You have snowy landscapes, deserts, jungles, beaches, cities and small villages. The environment is gorgeous, rich, varied and filled with detail. My eyes barely blink and I stop feeling hungry, so whenever I stopped playing after a long session I turned into a weeping, starving mess. And I swear my body’s half as productive too. I can’t even be productive enough to complete in-game missions since I’m either doing the sidequests, hunting for collectibles, or simply just flying around the land. Really, the moment I bought the game, my productivity goes to hell. Just Cause 2 is where all productivity goes to die.
