    lmfao :D
    /me walks into GAME
    "Hi... red - fox - down ... ok?"
    No way man, the risk of looking foolish infront of people I don't know and will probably never see again is far too great.

    I'd believe him. He works there after all. If you look foolish you can beat him up.

    I was just in Dawson street and the guy said it wasnt out until tomorrow, I asked would it make a diffrenece if If I said 'red fox dawn'. He laughed and sold me a copy.

    Embaressing but it worked :)

    Heh, that reminds me of the StoneCutters (of Simpsons fame).

    Nice Mod, cant wait to try it out! Why though did i preorder over the net! Could have just got the game today and be playing right now instead i am at the mercy of AN POST!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,475 ✭✭✭corblimey


    I'm in the same boat as you, murfie. My Amazon order apparently despatched yesterday which means it could be Tuesday or Wednesday before I get it, all because I'm a cheap b'tard :)

    I'm seriously considering buying it in Game tonight and then bringing it back next week when my order arrives.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    woot...i've just bought it at Dawson st.....just thought i'd mention the red fox dawn or whatever....and got a big grin! No discount but it was funny anyway...


    EDIT: the manual/book kicks arse

    i didnt screw up retard. read the first post. :rolleyes: i hate you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,312 ✭✭✭mr_angry


    I keep having a weird sound problem whereby I save my game, and some bike across the street starts making a noise like an earthquake. I've nicknamed this "The San Andreas Fault" for now. Its weird though. When I hop on the bike, the noise stops. Pain in the ass.

    It just totally locked my computer when I tried to load a game there aswell - I had to unplug it to restart it. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 626 ✭✭✭Kazaanova


    Having pretty bad glitches myself. The replays are never right, like the tires on your bike/car dont actually move. If you someone like Sweet etc. in your car, they dont show up. Also in the replay your parachute shows up as you holding it in your hand rather than on your back and opened. I've also gotten some crashes, and audio problems in cutscnes. Nothing HUGE though.

    Whats the PS2 version equal to on the PC? 1024x768 at medium?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,479 ✭✭✭✭philologos


    i had the US version last week its good alright, and dont worry all the glitches will be fixed in a 1.1 version


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,145 ✭✭✭DonkeyStyle \o/


    I've had some unexpected crash-to-desktop moments.
    And urgh, the default controls are ROTTEN.
    Other than that, loving this game :p
    Oh and I got it for 45 in GAME.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,894 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    yes the pc verison is 45 euro. xbox is 55

    Fed up with other methods and feeling flush, I went and bought it today in Gamestop. Installed fine but I've had a rake of crashes which I now realise are probably due to the horking great gouge that's on the DVD. I'm working around this problem at the moment but what are Gamestop like for returns like this?

    I sure as hell didn't run what could well have been a plough over the disc surface...

    It would be 640x480, but not sure of the quality setting.
