Just Cause 4 Cracked a Day After Release - But it Gets Worse - TorrentFreak
The much-anticipated action-adventure game Just Cause 4 was released on December 4, protected by Denuvo. On December 5, cracking group CPY posted the game online, Denuvo defeated. While this is yet another hammer blow to the anti-tamper system, the game is currently 'enjoying' a review average of just 5/10 on Steam, which could exacerbate the problems.
[...] This long-anticipated AAA action-adventure title is the follow-up to Just Cause 3, which was also protected by Denuvo. That game was released in December 2015 but wasn’t cracked until the end of February 2017.
Compare that with Just Cause 4. The game was released on December 4, 2018 then cracked and leaked online December 5, 2018. Just Cause 3 and Just Cause 4 were both defeated by cracking group CPY, who are clearly getting very familiar with Denuvo’s technology.
[...] While having the game appear online the day after release is bad enough, another problem is raising its head. According to numerous reviewers on Steam, the game is only worthy of a ‘thumbs down’ based on complaints about graphics, gameplay, and numerous other issues.

what was wrong? I thought it was more of the same, but then I got used to the floating around and the ice weapons.
Ultimately I had no problems with the pre-sequel, except for the fact it was like a full priced DLC that had its own DLCs.
It felt like a DLC due to it coming out far too soon after BL2 came out -- it reduced my expectations accordingly as well. I can't say nothing new or groundbreaking could have been introduced into it, but it seemed very much like it was more of an attempt to fit parts of the story they cut from BL2 but overly flesh it out to the extent that it felt like an overly long DLC.
And to be honest, I dont really even remember what the DLCs were for the pre-sequel, except for the claptrap one that I want to play but don't want to pay for it. maybe some day when its on sale again.
Otherwise I agree that BL1 and BL2 were great fun and I am playing BL2 presently with the girlfriend, after I upgraded her PC with a video card capable of turning all the options on. The game supported XP, but the DX11 features didnt reveal themselves until we played it again 6 years later... (my god we're old!)
