Can you see what stats the cars have or do you just pick the sleekest one?

Ravana posted:Loving this game to death. Reminds me so much of the city. I absolutely hate the camera and controls, though. I honestly think I'm getting more enjoyment out of listening to the random stuff the environmental NPCs say than the plot, though. Not that I don't like the plot, I just love the banter that much. I followed some woman and her boyfriend around for a bit just listening to all the stuff they were talking about. The sheer effort they put into making this feel like the people are real is astonishing, and very nice. It's hard to walk around with a big dick, but, you know, we all got problems.

 Officer Shen has seemed somewhat on edge of late... So far, my favorite thing that has happened playing this game was a drug bust that turned into a massive parking lot cleaver fight. I got to the point where I only had three more enemies to defeat before the fight would end, but I was running low on health and wouldn't be able to hit Face mode again for the healing (which is a mechanic that I love and think works really well) without risking defeat. So, I ran to the other side of the lot, pulled out the pistol I had in my back pocket, and just shot the three dudes in the face as they ran at me with their knives. I felt like god drat Chow Yun Fat.

I just had the exact same situation happen, but mine ended differently. As I didn't have a gun I decided to jump into a parked car and finish them off in safety. One of the bad bastards decided to match me, climbing into another vehicle. We played bumper cars for a little while before we both managed to drive over a ledge at high speed and upending our motors. I ran back up to finish up the others, picking up an umbrella that a woman dropped in terror. Turns out that didn't go so well up against a cleaver and I got battered. Game of the loving year.

Any tips from PC users on getting a smoother mouse control? Game seems pretty good so far but the sluggish mouse is starting to piss me off, since in chases I end up running into walls

Being able to leap onto other cars from your own is just great. ...It's too bad there aren't any vehicle missions, though, or if there are I haven't seen any. Being able to hop into a taxi cab and just start taking your own fares was always a nice thing about GTA or Saint's Row 2.

I don't think you can actually collect fares but it's a pretty great touch to see people mistake you for a real cab driver. I'm tempted to hijack a bus and see if that gets any unique dialogue too.

So when you hack cameras to pinpoint drug dealers does the game always automatically tell you who to arrest? I recall the first time I had to watch the deal go down to pinpoint the purp but every time since he gets an arrow over his head within a few seconds.

Yeah, I went through all of the drug busts, and there was only ever one more where there actually appeared to be a drug deal, but even then the suspect had a big arrow over his head.

It's a pretty pointless minigame, along with the cockfighting--bet some money, then watch a cutscene of two chickens fighting. It's not engaging or interesting in the least. Fortunately the rest of the game is solid.

Goddamn I love the combat. If you have the triad enforcer pack go play death by a thousand cuts and toss aside your golden meat cleaver at the start. It's incredible. Only downside is that for some reason there is a glitch were you randomly can't counter certain melee attacks. That's what usually does me in. Hopefully they fix that as I hate fighting enemies that have melee weapons.

Wow, pleasant surprise, Gamefly shipped this game today! Usually it takes forever to get high profile new games like this. I'm super hyped for this game, I love these crime drama games, especially when they realize 'oh wait, people want to go loving insane if they want to' and let me, say, throw guys into buzz saws. I'm almost positive I'm going to be keeping this game.

Holy poo poo, I just had the most amazing glitch. I threw a random guy into the back of my car and when I got into it the car started driving itself. I guess the game bugged out and thought the guy in the trunk was driving or something. Wei just sat there while the car drove wildly all over.

Just "beat" it. Goddamn what a game. I'm 17 hours in, and still barely touched the surface of the game, I still want to do all those Races ( I hate racing in Open World stuff! ), finish up Roland/Trans jobs, grab the Drug Deals, get the remaining 3-4 Shrines, finally go do the Fight Club stuff, and go around finishing up all the Favors and Events I missed. I could easily see myself putting another 4-5 hours into this before I'm really done. Will probably skip the Lockbox collection though. I thought the story was pretty neat to, favorite moment/s being the two "Carlos" Copout moments with Jackie. You can tell Volition guys from SR2 worked on this., the characters ended up being well written, and the plot didn't get as crazy as I worried it might, instead ending on a fairly normal note all things considered. Considering I bought this game to support the devs for working so hard on a PC port/Asian GTA sounded cool without any real hype for it, it ended up being my Sleeper Hit of the year for sure. e: Is there any way to get Triad Exp outside of missions? Finished at 9/10. Rookersh fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Aug 17, 2012 |

Just finished a 10 loving hour session on this game. (The first time that it crashed to desktop, oh well, I know that it was eventually bound to happen  ) It's fantastic. I really hope that Square Enix gives us some good additional missions or I don't know, whatever else, it's a solid game with a solid engine. SRTT had many more things to do. Also, I know it's a gangster movie trope but holy poo poo, the wedding massacre made me  .Speedball posted:...It's too bad there aren't any vehicle missions, though, or if there are I haven't seen any. You can talk to one of your cellphone contacts, he'd give you some car jack missions (nothing too much difficult however). edit: also, Revitalized, sorry, but the items still seem to be not tradable. Oh well, at least I installed TF2 and I'm also liking it. edit 2: I'm forgetting one thing, how many of you did the rear end in a top hat thing to do to Amanda, that is take scenic photographs of her tits instead of the landscape? After seeing her pose I had to do it with the third shot, anyway it still triggers the "you are a wonderful photographer" comment) limaCAT fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Aug 18, 2012 |

Hahaha, oh man. The mission at the Bam Bam Club I think the name was, that really clinched the game for me. The environmental kills are great, but one topped them all: you can throw a guy into the giant loving wall fishtank, and it shatters the glass with a huge torrent of water. Then, you can use the fish as weapons.  GOTY 2012.

This game is pretty awesome. Way better than I expected. Is there a way to keep guns after missions though? I remember me keeping my gun after I got the gun tutorial mission, but my dumb rear end got arrested after that. Now, when i'm in a gun mission, the gun disappears after the mission?

I just got the same thing everyone else did where Not Ping leaves a voice mail asking you to call her pack, but there is nothing that can be done about it. It bothers me that I'll have crawled around getting every single drat camera hacking and health shrine, but possibly not full complete because of a bug. Fun game otherwise though.

If you aren't racing to Sabre Dance then you are not doing it right. To add my voice to the chorus, this game is fun as hell. I just wish there were some bonuses on the Bruce Lee outfits.

Now, when i'm in a gun mission, the gun disappears after the mission? No. Guns come and go, you can only ever hold one gun at any point, and any kind of loading screen makes them disappear. You can find them in lockboxes occasionally, but other than that, outside of instances where the game specifically wants you to use them, you won't be carrying guns around.

Just had an awesome shoot-out at a drug bust in Kennedy Town. Took out the initial group of dudes in a hail of bullets, but the noise from the firefight caused the cops to go on alert. I was about to run away and finish the bust later, until I noticed that the cops were getting shot at by someone who wasn't me. The Triad reinforcements had just arrived. The HKPD and the gang had this massive firefight that the gang eventually won, taking care of our mutual cop problem. And as soon as they turned around, I hit them with a wall of slow-motion gunfire. By the end of the fight, there were fifteen Triads, three cops and five smoking car wrecks littering the streets. GOTY.

You can also disarm cops for sidearms, if you really need one. There's T5 cop perk that lets you grab shotguns out of the back of police vehicles. Took one to a drug bust - quickest bust ever, but I felt kind of bad about it...
