I found Just Cause 2 and 3 fun, looks like I didn't finish
JC4.

Finished Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon and FC 5. I liked FC, so I bought
FC4 then didn't play it -- but did put 51 hours into FC New Dawn.

Of the two series', I think I liked Just Cause best, because you're
basically a superhero.

Oh, and I did put about 15 hours into Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY, but
didn't finish it.
