    I never played JC3, but I finished JC2 because the characters were funny (i.e. Bolo Santosi). How does JC3 compare to JC2 in that aspect?

      the moment-to-moment gameplay and movement of jc3 is so much better that you basically can’t go back to 2. it’s a lot more freeform and fast, and the world is much more dynamic (even though it’s a lot smaller and less varied). the dlcs are also fun, with brand new mechanics compared to the base game.

      the crime is that the story is ass and the characters are not memorable. the spectacle of the final boss battle of jc2 is repeated within the first two hours of 3, but then the final boss of 3 is just a single helicopter that you can dispatch just as easy as any other in the game.

      i’ve 100%ed them both. 3 is about 1/4th of the content of 2.
