F**k sake anyway, my internet is down, hopefully not for long. I was enjoying playing through it there, only near to finishing act 1, this is a superb game, haven't had this much fun in a game in a long time!

Calex, I will add you there if my connection comes back. I am going to play this as much as I can this weekend so hopefully a few of us can get a few games together in chaos mode.

Got the single player main story done and dusted there today. Such a funny game witch every single moment as it does not take its self seriously at all and it works for it and the 4th wall stuff is fantastic

The Rules of 3s in video games for doing stuff quotes

was one of the best things i have ever been told in a game priceless LoL.

Like the guns are all great basically all ratchet and clank guns but a piss take on them.

The game to me is ratchet and clank on acid

Wish the map would show you which challenges you've already done, change them from Green to Gold/Silver/Bronze or something

Yeah , but you can fast travel to them all in the leaderboards screen / Challenges hit Y to change to your scores and you can scroll through the list that way and see what you did and medal earned. You don't even have had to have attempted it before you can go to any challenge from there.

Ah sweet, didn't realise that

Will make the 50 golds a little easier to attempt!

I've rage quit a few at this stage , worst thing is it's tied to the get 250 clothing items achievement as gold awards a clothing piece.

maximoose · 10-11-2014 2:47pm

I got the 250 clothing yesterday, not sure how many golds I have left to get for 50 but I've a feeling it's mostly glide challenges I have left to do. Tried one and it annoyed the hell out of me and avoided them since.

Mickeroo · 10-11-2014 3:24pm

Bomb Delivery challenges seem like an easy gold.

TrustedApple · 10-11-2014 3:35pm

Where the best to trade this in at the moment ?. CEX are only giving €31 cash witch i am quite disappointed with as paid €42 for it and didn't expect to lose €11 that fast LoL

Just got 1000GS in this tonight , what a pain the Downtown chaos squad was, it's hard enough without having to get 1625% chaos in the missions as the % you get even by passing them is random :mad:

Over all though this was one of my favourite games this year. One thing that came up over the various sessions I made for this on trueachievements was that playing as a female character was much better than playing as a guy as the voice actor that voiced the female had much better delivery and was just plain funnier , did any one else find that.

Yeah I changed to a female after watching lets play vids online. The game works so much better playing as a female, the voice acting is far better and funnier overall.

rizzla · 17-11-2014 2:03pm

Started as a female, was thinking what it would be like as a guy. Glad to know the girl was the right way to go. I've made a conscious effort to choose female if ever given the choice. Not enough female leads.

Captain Chaos · 17-11-2014 2:06pm

Same with Mass Effect, the female voice actor was better across the board at delivering the script than "John" Shep.

This is on Games for Gold now so I just downloaded it. I'd never even heard of it before but looking forward to a rattle at it later.

Is there's decent online play?

The online is great craic, its like mini events that you have to first get to, as quickly as possible as theres a score bonus, then you'll have different objectives, like defending an area or collecting stuff. it all finishes off with a massive base defense effort where you set up traps etc. Its madly chaotic, but really good fun. I must jump back in and try and get my missing achievements now that the player count has gone up again.

bear in mind that if your weapons are crap, you'll be at a disadvantage - similarly if you don't have all the movement options available, it'll be a bit of a struggle.

Cool. I'll watch a vid or two here to try to get myself up to speed with what to expect. I might even run the single player though (which I never do) to try to get the hang of this if it's mad different.
