We started out in the countryside and the tornado started to grow. (I think this was the plan anyway - snappy, memorable plotting is not a series strength.) The plan was to make a tornado, grow it to a great size and ride it straight into one of his cities. He knew how to make tornados, and now my guys, the liberators had learned how to make them too. Blizzards, sandstorms, lightning, that kind of thing. I had learned that my nemesis - the bland dictator I had turned up in the Latin American state of Solis to take down - had learned how to meddle with the weather. Here's an example from a mission I encountered about halfway in. Just Cause 4 isn't short on the first kind of story, of course. This guy was dead.and I think I killed him.and then I attached him to my car.? And to a balloon.? And I drove around for another half hour? The other kind of story - you could call it the Larry Story - is defined by its pauses: confusion, disbelief, slow realisation, shame. The first kind of story is breathless - action piled upon improbable reaction with no pauses in the telling whatsoever. There are two kinds of story generated by a Just Cause game, I reckon. Availability: Out now on PS4, Xbox One and PC.(You could say I was attached to him.) For another, I couldn't remember the button to snap the tethers. Once I did, I found it hard to let him go. I didn't spot Larry for a good five minutes, I reckon, such is the pace of a typical Just Cause mission. That's because one of his legs - I forget which one - was attached to a massive helium balloon that was holding him aloft. He was also floating in the air, ragdolling in a perfect summer breeze. The thing is, Larry wasn't just dead, and he wasn't just attached to the fender of the car I was driving. I say probably because in the heat of the moment in a Just Cause game it can be hard to say what happens and who makes it happen. Furthemore, Larry was - how can I say this? - attached to the fender of the car I had probably used to kill him. When I met him, Larry was - how can I say this? - recently dead. That's what I decided to call him anyway. My favourite character in the new Just Cause is called Larry. Weather effects and party balloons see a knockabout charmer return in decent form.
