Taking the hot air balloon that high will probably take more than half an hour, but they can go to the same height that all other aircraft can go. Also, I really don't think base jumps count off of them, I'm not sure, it looks like there's a way to fool the game anyway.foomfoom415 said:
By the way, if anyone hasn't checked out the race track - DO IT! The cars go ridiculously fast and there's plenty of things to do with them if you're imaginative:

Plus there's a spare car inside the pit area so you can join in the race.

They count. If not from the basket then certainly from the top of the balloon.

i downloaded that Long distance grapple mod. and didn't realize that when you reach the end of the hook it would disconnect and not hang on. has the mod been updated to fix that or did i do something wrong? (I just dragged and dropped)

but he'll still be at the nearest base when he starts the game... if you die when you're taking over a base/airport/whatever (even if you save during the takeover), the game still puts you back at the nearest stronghold or whatever. you're not physically at the same point you were when you died.

Apologies if this has been addressed before, but has it been confirmed that the US edition works fine on a JP system? As in the O and X button issue that was present in the demo has been fixed? Debating on running down to Akihabara this week and picking this up, had a lot of fun with the demo, despite being gimped with the buttons:lol

Why do helicopters not fly straight? It bothers me something fierce.
My lord. I was zipping across the country side and decided to grapple to a car. Mid process I changed my mind and pressed the parachute button. I hovered alright but no parachute. I was a man with the ability to levitate through the air. It was a glorious moment for all of humanity. Then I grew tired of this marvel and landed on the ground to continue committing terrible crimes to the citizens on Panua.
Fuck, this game just feels so right.
I am on the 2nd mission and i am just driving / flying / parachuting around like I would in a GTA game, but i am having so much more fun with this. It feels like i am playing GTA3 for the first time again. Endless opportunities to just do fun shit.

its possible, When in air, dont press any button and you will see that you are not gaining or losing altitude. Just press forward and you will fly straight without lifting or crashing.VibratingDonkey said:
WOW just found the ski piste. Damn that jump is awesome!
Love this game and love the movies you guys make. Its pretty cool that everyone has its own unique playing style. This way i see stuff i never thought of before and vica versa.

Does anyone here ever find civilians just standing there in what I would call a "Jesus pose?" (Arms straight out, looking straight ahead, not moving an inch.)
I can post a picture if need be.

That racetrack looks awesome, I need to go check that out.
I beat the game the other night, but I'm still chugging away at Mercenary Mode (about ~46% completion) and having a blast. Just finished discovering all the locations, which was a cool milestone. In most open-world games I would have given up by this point, but it's still a lot of fun to just explore the environment and gawk at the beautiful scenery.
One thing I really love about a game this open is that the mission areas are never arbitrarily "locked" away -- they're just effectively hidden because the world is so big that half the time you won't find them without the game pointing out their location. It's kind of a minor thing, but I wish more games did it this well. I just did the mission at the
and it was awesome to find such an elaborate setpiece that I had never noticed before, even though I'd probably flown right past it half a dozen times.

^How much harder is Mercenary mode? I'm wondering if I should make a save before the end of the game so I can screw around easier.
New video from a co-worker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIKZmZDM-So
He was attempting to hop into a vehicle attached to his helicopter as it fell from mid-air, but well - I'll let the video speak for itself. I need a :gasp: smiley.

It's not any harder. It's not even a new mode really, it just lets you keep playing missions and completing locations after you beat the main story, and it shows your % completed after each thing you finish.Neuromancer said:

Co-ords are X:9170 Y:11413, directly East of Panau City Park District, on a small island called Bandar Selekeh.Deepack said:Please. Do tell me where I can find this place.
Need shit like that for my compilation video (which is not progressing as nicely as I would have hoped.).

No, he doesn't mean literally.
I think he means, why do helicopters fly while turned to the side and crap like that. It bothers me too. The best solution I found was to line it up facing the direction you want to go, then click the "look behind" button, then back again and the camera will be right behind the chopper and not at an angle.
This video is a perfect example of the choppers flying weirdly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VG-5y9z53k
FuttBuck's video posted earlier. It's a plane crash but the way he was flying annoyed me greatly. LOL :lol

Have to check out the Mile High Club again so I can made a grapple web with a stripper :lol.

I think it's just as fast when you're only holding forward. It's just the sound of the engine running faster when you're climbing that makes it seem like you'd be going faster.
I always felt that descending felt like I was slowing down even though I was still holding forward. However, I put a waypoint on the map in front of me and I seemed to be closing the distance at the same rate as when I was only holding forward.
VibratingDonkey said:
I think it's supposed to make it easier to aim. If they flew straight, the helicopter would be in the way of the sights, but by turning sideways you can see what you are aiming at. You might also notice that unarmed helicopters do fly straight, since you don't need to aim with them.
