(Also see: Just Cause 3 Has More Explosions Than a Michael Bay Movie ) The exploding barrel trope takes the form of transformers, satellites, and obviously, fuel tanks - almost every thing in Just Cause 3 can be destroyed in a chaotic haze of fire and smoke. With this comes the opportunity to run amok. In Just Cause 3, you set the world ablaze as former special agent Rico Rodriguez, hellbent on freeing Medici from the iron grip of dictator Sebastiano Di Ravello. It's highly derivative but enjoyable all the same. Taking place in the fictional island country of Medici, Just Cause 3's irreverent tone, cheesy dialogue, and goofball plot are all reminiscent of older action games and movies. But what happens when an entire game world is filled to the brim with exploding barrels? The game ends up being Just Cause 3. Ever since we first saw these in Doom, these have been a handy way to clear rooms full of enemies with a single shot, as the resulting detonation eliminates them en masse. The exploding barrel is a well-worn video game trope.
