New Just Cause 2 trailers dissect the 'Anatomy of a Stunt'

We love that Just Cause 2's trailers have simply devolved into demo reels showing off the ridiculous destructive powers the player can harness using a hookshot, a parachute and a bit of ingenuity. Two such videos were recently released by Square Enix, subtitled "Anatomy of a Stunt." The first, which shows a rather exhilarating car jump over explosive-lined jet fuel tanks, is posted above. The second, embedded after the jump, shows all the clever ways one can dispatch enemies using gravity.
Sorry, Square Enix marketing team, but we're not comfortable classifying "murder" as a "stunt," no matter how creative said "murder" might be.

Just Cause 1 is an exercise in frustration. The visuals are amazing for a title released six months into the 360's lifecycle. There are a number of side missions which you cannot complete because of bugs, but if you work around them you can still get 100% game completion. There are also times when I would get shot down or have a vehicle explode while off the beaten path and it would take forever to find another vehicle. I felt cheated out of my $50 new, but used for less than $10 it's worth picking up.

This looks alot of fun, I wish I was younger again so I had the time and the attention span to muck around in a sandbox like that, just like the old GTA days.

To sell this game...We're gonna need a montage! MONTAGE!

Seriously, montage looks like fun, but traveling all over to set up those tricks is not entertaining. And look, Just Cause 1 was terribly boring. GTA style running around and doing bullshit errands with a wanna-be Che protag.
Not wasting my money on this one. Learned my lesson last time.

So using your logic who would ever play Assassins Creed 2 because the first one was lame and that must mean that the sequel will be the exact same.

@Dr. Teabag
lmao. how does Q1 even come close to Q4?
In Q4 there is:
Fallout: New Vegas
Crysis 2
Deus Ex 3
Fable 3
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
Plus there are going to be way more that we dont know about yet because they will be announced at E3 like every year. and a couple of the games you mentioned arent even AAA titles.
