I love the mini games like when you have to break in somewhere and there is a mini game for opening a vent, syncing a bug, closing the vent and picking a lock to escape.

How do you break into a place? I came across a statue I have to get in Central. It's in an apartment but I can't get in, it's driving me mad.

sheehy83 · 19-08-2012, 22:58

It was part of a mission, I had to go in through a sky light so maybe you should try getting to the roof of that apartment?

kojack · 19-08-2012, 23:03

Thanks, I did that mission too. I will cruise over in my R8 lookalike car while listening to some classical music

trying to pull of combo's in those fight schools is annoying

Sephiroth_dude · 20-08-2012, 01:49

Game is pissing me off now,can't get past a certain fight and when I get further and die I have to start back at the start again

Was stuck on the fight club in Central for a while. Died about 5/6 times from those large grapple feckers.

Yeah those lads... they can't block strong attacks though, so if you've unlocked them, spinning kicks do a fair bit of damage.

The lads who look like boxers are bollockses as well. Always interrupting me bating another fella :/

The central fight club was hard first time. I went, improved, learned a couple of new moves and it wasn't so hard. The stun with the knee and finish off is a great move that gets guys dead faster than most others I find.

Really enjoying this (on pc)

kb/mouse for shooting/fighting, xbox controller for running and driving (yes I'm weird using the kb/mouse for melee)

Had to tone the graphics down to 1080p and medium to get a steady 60fps.

And I'm still getting crashes, which arent uncommon. One of the forum posts said it might be the nvidia drivers, we'll see with the next update.

All in all, happy out so far, havent been bored yet. Really like going for a spin around and finding the security trucks. Always keeps me entertained.

Completed the main story yesterday and have around 80% of everything else done.

I enjoyed the story and loved the combat/driving aspect (shooting was ok but still solid).

Combat is a lot deeper then first expected with plenty of combos to learn and different tatics that need to used on different opponents. Nothing as satisfying as breaking some guys arm then leg in a couple of quick movements or taking down a large group with a few well placed combos. Game really does make you feel like a badass.

Just going around now collecting remaining lockboxes and shrines and generally just beating up any randomers I see

(Oh and that issue I was having before with my Triad score seems to be bug. On one screen it shows as level 10 but on the upgrade screen it only shows just level 9. Unfortunately I can't seem to raise it any more though I may try and repeat a mission to see if that boosts it.)

I found that I was being to frantic. Had to slow down to make sure I was hitting counters. Also the jump kick is great against those grapple guys. Don't think it does massive damage but it staggers them a bit so you can make some room.
