Nerd³ Plays... Just Cause 2 

A decade later and nostalgia is strong

"With the grappling hook you can tug people off" steady on, dan

6:32 the aim of a storm trooper...

This game is a good example of how atmopshere and colors can make a game beautiful. Imo the graphics still hold up after all this time, it even looks better than some new games even though the graphics are wayy less advanced

Watching nerdcubed in 2023 is such nostalgia I love it

October 2nd, 2019. I just bought the game, still fun as all hell to play.

Dude I still remember watching this gem of a video as an 11 year old. One of the most memorable videos I’ve watched, up there with NerdCubed modded GTA IV videos. Time really flies.

This video made me buy the game. Nerd Cubed made me spend quite a lot of money that way.

In terms of actual gameplay this is miles ahead of GTA IMO, flawed story but the amount of craziness/map size/explosions is just epic

Just Cause 2 = Michael Bay The Game. And there's nothing wrong with that.

10 years.

37:28 The plane flew into the towers... JC2 did 9/11 confirmed

Remember watching this 10yrs ago, one of the GOAT youtubers

10 years.... I can't believe it.

just cause 3 wishlist: 1. resettable settlements 2. official online/servers 3. a good story 4. more grappling capabilities 5. clothing, gun and vehicle customisation 6. the same setting (still in panau but different) 7. non faction sidequests (e.g hostages, robbery, vandalism ect) 8. story dlc

JC3 CONFIRMED! avalanche can count to 3, why cant you valve?

This series was amazing... And then Just Cause 4 came along.

Who else is here in 2020 after remembering this back from 2012

This game is if GTA and far cry 3 had a child and it was raised by Michael Bay. Poifect!

I've lost count to how many times I've watched all the Just Cause 2 videos

Happy Valentine's Day Dan! ❤️ I remember watching this video 10 years ago and made me get just cause 2 as well. This video is a bit nostalgic for me I remember playing on the PS3 and then I got a laptop and was amazed when I found out about jc2 mp. Cheers mate

I got JC3 for Christmas, and it came with a free version of JC2. Needless to say, I'm a very happy gamer this year.

Going back and re watching Dan's older videos:)

Just cause 2 is free on Xbox live if you have gold. I know it's better on pc but can you argue with FREE.

My top twelve games as of now: 1. Just Cause 2 2. TES V: Skyrim (With mods) 3. TES II: Daggerfall 4. Red Faction Guerrilla 5. TES III: Morrowind 6. TES IV: Oblivion 7. Unreal Tournament III 8. Saints Row 2 9. Red Dead Redemption (Homing dynamite/fire bottle glitch is hilarious) 10. Fallout NV (With mods) 11. Brutal Legend 12. GTA V

Dan, four years in the future, Donlad Trump is running for president and Just Cause 3 is your favorite game

remembered this video from my childhood

Literally still playing this, 2022

10 years ago dam I remember watching this when I was a kid

My god, I remember when this video came out!

So much nostalgia! From the audio in the background, the microphone, to the keyboard you use either in this video or in later ones. I remember watching these videos of you playing these classic games when I didn't even have a system and staying up all night watching you play them, only to realize the sun was rising. Good times. Some of my favorites were Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, Mirrors Edge, and a lot of 360 games. When I finally got a console I built it's library of games off of so many that I saw in your videos. Driver, Just Cause 2, etc. Thanks man!

How has Rico's arm not been dislocated?

10 years ago. Dammmm

Looking back from jc3 this still looks amazing. You've probably caused all the happiness in my life Dan; without you I might not have loved jc

I love binge watching old nerd3 videos

An absolutely classic channel and video from my childhood, thanks for making my kid years the best! Love you nerd!

"Just Cause 2 is the greatest game ever made"... *cough*... Just Cause 3...

My top 1 list of games I love! 1) Fallout 4

Recommend this again- going to rewatch all the old episodes

I love nerdcubed nostalgia

I feel like the grapple parachute combo make this game what it is and what makes it iconic

Am I only person who think quicktime events are good? Within reason, though. I think it is good to have quicktime events in a situation where you are pulling someone who is hostile out of a vehicle, as they are ready to resist. It just adds more challenge. When pulling someone out of a vehicle there isn't much way you can apply gameplay there, so it is useful to use quicktime events. Of course, it would not be good to use quicktime events when pulling a neutral out of a vehicle, as that person would not be ready for it and has not been trained in military.

6 years later and still one of the greatest games ever made.

this is the video that made me interested in the just cause franchise

Driving is better in gta and messing around is better in this.

I was only 12 minutes in before I ordered this on PSN.

"1 was a collection of ideas that they didn't get quite right and 2 is a spectacular game." "And 3 is like watching a Michael bay film while high!"

Can't get over the fact I watched this video when it came out and now it's 6 years later. INSANE!!!!!

This game's $2.99 on steam right now! Get it quick

Get the all blackmarket mod. It puts every vehicle in the game onto the blackmarket.

This was my favourite game when it came out a year later I still loved this CANT WAIT FOR WHEN I GET JUST CUASE 3

27th of August 2021, came back because of nostalgia and feels great

OMG did Avalanche New York not watch this video before developing JC3?

9 years, Really?

I always have to come back here to watch these funny nice just cause 2 videos, and when you played Minecraft you made me play Minecraft and im stuck to it since August 2013 I think and just wow! I love you nerdcubed. I wish we could be friends.

bought just cause 3 on cyber monday for three canadian dollars and forty four canadian cents, had to watch all of dans just cause videos to keep my excitement [barley] at bay while waiting 7 or so hours for it to download! this is by far one of my personal favourite nerd cubed videos, I still remember when this video came out and just thinking "oh fuck yeah, hes going to L O V E this goddamn game, SO MUCH!!!" lmao I remember when i'd found the JC2 demo on xbox market place, must've played that stupid demo at least a hundred times. then I bought it for PC when this vid had came out and reminded me of its existence, I've got around 14-20 hours of playtime on JC2 for PC and I think I've done maybe like 10 or 12 missions, the rest of those 12 or so hours I spent as child running around getting into huge action movie shootouts, stealing jets, heli's and military boats just wreaking havoc and mayhem all across the map for hours at a time... Just Cause 2 on console, for me at least, was much *much much more of the same, to this day idk how anyone beats any of the just cause games. i'll start off wanting to progress through the story and after maybe an hour, two hours, I finally realize ive spent the last 80 minutes wing suit grappling around, hijacking planes and helicopters out of the sky. blowing up oil rigs, et cetera et cetera.... xD* the just cause games are literally some of if not in the top 5 of the *best* video game franchise(s) ever created. still to this day, JC2 is one of the best looking games ever created and is still just as fun today as it was in 2010 or 2011, forget when it was released. 3 is my all-time favourite, *havent played 4 and have intentionally, even a year later, not watched a single video of gameplay from 4, I refuse to. want the experience to be totally new to me.* & I NEVER do that with any games, Just Cause is just one of those games! I digress; highly recommend that if there's anyone watching this who hasnt play 2 and is on the fence about buying it, stop procrastinating, buy the game for 10$ on steam and thank me later. eight years later its still just as amazing of an experience as it was on launch, its actually even better because the multiplayer mod has been included with you purchase of the game itself since like late 2012-2013. just an FYI, no longer do you have to fumble around with looking for an aids-free link of the mod to download, fumble around with to get working properly, et cetera, its included and (in the words of todd howard himself but this time its not meme'ing its stating factoids) *it just WORKS!*

best game ever!!! keep up the good work!

Skyrim has lots of different terrain, the map is just clouded

Watching this is really making me wanna play this again. I haven't for years

Aww man that lovely sound in the background sounds like a soft vacuum cleaner memories

I am now 20 I was fucking 9 when this dropped

My Top 13 Games Ever! (In No Particular Order) 1) Just Cause 2 2) Garry's Mod 3) Grand Theft Auto 5 4) Thomas Was Alone 5) The Binding of Isaac Rebirth 6) Trine 2 7) Star Wars Battlefront 2 8) Super Hexagon 9) Papers, Please 10) Left 4 Dead 2 11) Red Dead Redemption 12) Spider-Man 2 on the PS2 13) And (if its as good as it looks) Just Cause 3 when it comes out!!

Lol, your video was promoted by the developers at Avalanche.

Was flicking through some of my favourites and thought that I should watch some nearly forgot how good this video was

"If you're bored you can just fly." And now we're getting this stuff + "a big of a wingsuit"...damn you, guys. JC3 is gonna be awesome!

"It isn't like skyrim where it's all just snow a grey" What? Skyrim has way more than snow and grey, it has a wilderness for a majority of the centre, a rocky woodland area, woodsy areas, marshes and giant mountains. Sure theres alot of snow but theres also more environments.

Best Just Cause 2 video I have seen. Thank you.

The good old days

just cause 3 wishlist: 1. resettable settlements 2. official online/servers 3. a good story 4. more grappling capabilities 5. clothing, gun and vehicle customisation 6. the same setting (still in panau but different) 7. non faction sidequests (e.g hostages, robbery, vandalism ect)

V cool game - highly underrated - almost never see it listed in those top game lists - if you are thinking of getting a FUN game and are not looking for a deep story/rpg game but want fun - ie lots of explosions and cool vehicles then get it...

i was loving this video ten fold and when at 33 minutes in he asks 'is anyone watching this or have you all gone off and bought the game?' i got a steam notification of "just cause 2 has installed"

This video made me love games

it's a shame there's nothing like a 747 in this. the tail on a 747 is six stories tall. six stories. SIX!

for some reason, i've taken over a few airports, but there are still jets taking off. i'm not complaining :D

I played this game only a few months ago and I only played it for about a month and I get super loads of nostalgia from the sound effects and such

whenever im bored on youtube. or grounded from my own video games i just watch these videos there so fun to watch honestly i feel that jc3 was a lottt flatter idk if it was the map or just characters but it wast as enjoyable

Is anyone watching this because of Dan’s Just Cause 4 gameplay

Saw this game on sale on Steam for £2 Looks awesome getting it now.

A Nerdcubed intro and video to go down in history.

I literally brought this game while watching this video, thanks for the recommendation!

Underrated game.

37:26 😳 that looks familiar

People say that the missions are boring but, strongholds aside, they are pretty fun. One of them gave me a bike, C4 and an SMG, and told me to go blow up some Saturday morning cartoon villains base. Tell, does that NOT sound like fun to you?

So I just bought Just Cause 1 and 2 in a package plus a bunch of mods. Currently downloading the second one CANT WAIT TO PLAY!

Watching these oldies because of Just Cause 4

This video was 4 years ago! Holly Crap!!

After watching Dan for about a decade I can remember all the jokes word for word in these old vids

holy nostalgia, I remember me and my best friend staying up into the late hours of the night just causing mayhem in the demo for the xbox 360, what a game. and what a time to be a gamer when JC2 originally released.

Best game ever and best video of a game ever! =)

my top 5 games as of now toribash Red Faction Guerrilla overgrowth just cause 2 saints row the third

This video is literally the reason I started doing a series on this game, like I always loved it, but never realised how good a video it makes!

Ahh this video brought back so many memories!

My top 10 games: 1. Dark Souls 2. Grand Theft Auto V PC 3. Fallout 3(modded of course) 4. Kerbal Space Program 5. Mount and Blade:Warband(A bit archaic i know) 6. Star Wars Battlefront II 7. Just Cause 2 8. The Stanley Parable(wink wink) 9. Democracy 3 10. Antichamber Honorable Mention: Shadow of the Colossus

Michael bay would love this game ITS A MASTERPIECE!!

Dan we need another just cause play through!!

Lol I like how he clearly never played Skyrim that much, like 1/4 of the map is snow covered, everthing around whiterun, solitude, and winterhold southwards becomes trees and rocky valleys and swamplands.

Anyone agrees that this is so much better than GTA 5?

My top 5: 1. Deus Ex 2. Deus Ex: Human Revolution 3. Terraria 4. Just Cause 2 5. Halo 2/Anniversary

goddamn the series is just so fun to fuck about in, and now just cause 3 you can mess with bases with things that can be torn apart

"Fall from 900 feet and land on an old lady." Sometimes I swear that Dan and Yahtzee Crowshaw are the same person.
