I think it just hit at a pretty bad time, the market was really saturated with Bam Ham clones, so the decidedly mediocre combat stood out even more. Considering how well polished every single other part of the game was, it does seem like it got an overly harsh reception, but its definitely got a niche following to this day.

>Arkham combat
>Driving through an open-world of just fucking SAND
Honestly, I love Just Cause 2+3, love all 4 Mad Max Movies. I trusted Avalanche and wanted to love the Mad Max game, but it couldn't hold my interest.
Maybe some kind of desert Vigilante 8 would have been more fun than ANOTHER open world

Because they got filtered

Play more games.

The game doesn't have an original bone in its body.
And to add injury to insult, every so often the game just ignores you pressing the counter button

It came out the same day as MGSV

I've played plenty of games. This one is still a stand-out.
Andrew Sanchez
It has a better combat than the Arkham games
Pressing a button and hitting the air > Pressing a button and instantly sliding at super speed to the enemy to punch them

One of the few modern open world games I enjoyed.
