I would love to play with people online, but I'm only at level 11. Want to do one of the earlier co-op missions? I still need to do the one on the Moon.

I think the strike on Earth and the Moon can be done at that level.

I need to get 2 people together to attempt to kill Xyor in the Summoning Pits strike on heroic. I wish you could do matchmaking for any strike, just not the playlists

I was playing Shadow of Mordor a few days ago and ran into an uruk called Dush....pronounced douche. After spending a few of minutes tracking him down and having the game announce his name repeatedly, it occurred to me that the internet must be having a field day with this one....turns out it is.

I didn't even like GTA V that much, but I must admit I am tempted by the first-person mode.

“When will you make Just Cause 3?"

We’ve lost count of the times we’ve been asked that question in the last few years. No matter if we’ve issued a press release about building a new studio, sponsored some event or posted photos of food to our personal Instagram accounts – the most frequent topic of conversation has somehow always been Rico and his huge sandbox world filled with crazy emergent gameplay.

Well, we’re beyond excited to finally unveil Just Cause 3 to the world! In a massive 12 page blowout, Game Informer are sharing their impressions after hours of exclusive hands-on time with the game. Rico is also gracing their cover, where he’s leaping from a building while firing his grapple mid-air, surrounded by helicopters and fighter jets. It’s an artist’s rendition, but the scenario could just as easily have been created in-game – the chaotic diorama is exactly what Just Cause is all about.

Following last week's rumours and speculation, we also wanted to take the opportunity to address a few misconceptions. Those leaked screenshots were taken from an ancient version of Just Cause 3. Like most games, this one went through an exploratory phase where we looked at different control schemes, different technologies, different business models. Those leaked screenshots show aspects of that process, and in no way reflect the game we are making today.

To be perfectly clear: Just Cause 3 will be available in 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. It will be distributed as a retail box and digital download. It is not a Free To Play game. It does not feature in-game micro transactions.

Does that mean we'll release the game and call it quits? Nope. Beyond launch, we are likely to look into DLC packs and items as part of our ambition to support Just Cause 3 and its players for many years to come, but until that time we’re completely focused on making the best Just Cause game we possibly can. Rest assured it will be a huge, fully packed and extremely rewarding experience right out of the gate.

We can't wait to see your reactions to what we've created. Just Cause 3 truly represents the next generation of chaotic sandbox fun. But just like real sandboxes, ours doesn't really come to life until it's populated by crazy kids refusing to let go of the red barrel as it's shooting across the sky about to explode in a sea of fire, and... Wait, where are we going with this again?

Enjoy!

Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Avalanche Studios

Bought a Wii U on Craigslist yesterday. Did all the save transfers from my Wii last night. Hopefully looking for a Mario Kart Black Friday deal.

I'm enjoying it. Not a terribly lengthy main quest but if you do all the side quests and have fun hunting down captains and war chiefs outside of the main quests you can probably squeeze 40 hours out of it. Each target has their own strengths and weaknesses that you need to learn and exploit so it keeps it from feeling repetitive. There is likely a fair bit of replay value here. I've got too many new games to play after this one so i probably won't do a 2nd playthrough for a while.

You know they are coming out with an adapter for the Wii U so you can play Smash Brothers with GameCube controllers, right?

I am well aware. :thumbsup: Even though the Wii U Classic Controller will work just fine.

Yeah, and my stepson just said that the adapter will only work for Smash Bros., no other games. That seems kind of lame.
