What do you consider to be a "good" upgrade system, Yahtzee? What should it have and what should it not have?

Laughed, out loud, a lot. One of the best he's done in a long time. Well done.
I spent Sunday night watching two of my more creative friends doing terrible things to innocent civilians and their own comrades-in-arms, and laughing until I was in actual physical pain for two days. Hubby dearest has been playing the hell out of it and amusing me to no end. (I've been favoring Borderlands for my own mindless violence.)

Great review.
Hmm... I guess no one remembers the name isn't because one wants to do things "Just (be)Cause" but actually based on the name of Operation: Just Cause, the US Invasion of Panama, which I guess makes more sense in the first Just Cause game and not as much for Just Cause 2. Even then it was called that not as a joke (although many operations had jokes for names) but for PR reasons in the sense that it was Just, as in justice-was-done, and.... ah who the hell cares, people just want to blow stuff up... its a fun game and all Jahtzee said was true.
...holy hell am I nerdy...

Some people can indeed shut the hell up.
Interesting that I've been telling anyone that asks about the game the same hing; it's the faffing about that makes the game awesome. Everything else revolves around it. Hooray for a game that emphasizes fun and throws realism out the window.

So how does this look in HQ? I just saw he button and had to ask.
SO essentially this is Assassin's Creed 1, but the faffing about is fun.

I was expecting this review to discourage me from buying this game. But I think the opposite happened.
Just..... wow.
Just..... wow.
That was one of the best reviews I've seen- right up there with the Far Cry 2 review. I burst out laughing at the sight of that rocket propelled dolphin. Loved the way Yahtzee was trying so hard to complain about bits of the game but you could tell that he was lovin' it. Hoo yeah.
Personally my only gripe is it doesn't work on Windows XP. SCREW YOU AVALANCHE! IF THE FIRST WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE PS2 THE SECOND IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR XP!
He sounded more exasperated, as if he would get called out on how fun that stuff was if he didn't mention it. Also he had to acknowledge that for some gamers it really is enough to be able to do everything you can in JC2.squall24 said:

For some reason this was actually really good, compared to his other reviews, its surprisingly good.
