I lowered the sensitivity on my PS3 since the control sticks are so loose.

Haha awesome.LovingSteam said:
I wonder if the 360 version will ever get Youtube support patched in. I thought it was only in the Ps3 because of technical limitations of Xbox Live being a closed system but according to Avalanche it's just an exclusive feature for whatever reason.

Ok, you got me. I raised my sensitivity too. The game itself wasn't offering enough of a challenge and putting butter on my fingers to make things tougher was getting messy. I'm glad I could replicate the experience with the PS3 controller.out0v0rder said:

Hardly any advice to give though as it could be anything. I think in order of % it goes:Petrol stations > Statues > Water Tower / Upgrade box, so you're either missing a couple of big things or about 7 / 8 of those small water towers. My advice is to get on the tallest building and take a look around below. It will be blurry but you should be able to make out some things, Petrol stations look like dark grey rooftops with a red strip around them.

Also got my TE's and Grenades to Lv.6.

Just FYI in order for a base jump to count you have to open your parachute. If you just hit the water/ground that won't do it. So even if you survived the water impact you would have wasted your time. :/ lol

Found a few more things on the lands located close to the city but now I'm stuck at 97%. Arrrghhh....

Well, this answers my question about how people were getting 6k base jumps on the stats site
Seriously I base jumped every point I could find and getting 1,000 meters was ridiculous, 6k was blowing my mind though. Now I guess I just need to find the hot air balloon...

The worst thing is being stuck at 100% :lol I guess it's actually something like 99.6 but it rounds it up, it's infuriating seeing "100%" but not having the tick on the icon.Dave1988 said:
Damn I'm just obsessed with Bandar Selekeh Track, I airlifted in some neat vehicles and I'm just cruising with the other racers. It's hilarious when the soldiers try and shoot out our tyres as we go past.

So from what I've seen this game looks like GTA but air orientated?
It looks interesting and I'm thinking about picking it up. Might wait for a price drop perhaps.
It looks interesting and I'm thinking about picking it up. Might wait for a price drop perhaps.
For Pete's sake, the helicopters can and do fly perfectly straight if you to tell them to fly straight! Most of the time, the camera will be somewhere besides directly behind the chopper, so I suppose that is what is confusing some people.
Question: How do the races work? I've only found a couple of them so far, and they both seem to be air races. I flew a plane over the top of one of them, but precisely nothing happened. What's the trick? What is supposed to happen?

I didn't see any planes, nor things to activate, at the only race location that I encountered "on foot". The only reason I knew it was (supposedly) a race was because that's what the map told me. Later, after I had stolen a plane elsewhere, I repeatedly flew over that location, hoping that something would happen. Nothing did.Filldough said:Did you activate the race before getting in the plane? You have to run up to the checkered flag and hit the requisite button before they will be active. Then enjoy the easy money!
Clearly, I need to poke around more at these locations. Thanks.

BAH! I'm about to crack and get this game. Wish I had a PS3 so I could post Youtube videos. That was great idea for marketing. It's definitely made me want the game more.

Guys I need some help getting into this game.
The gameplay is fun and the graphics nice but im having issues with destorying places 100%. I find that ill turn up at a settlement or a base and with the goal of destroying everything but ive got shitall ammo, guns and explosives.
Should I be doing the main missions first to make cash and then upgrade my weapons?
Whats the best way?

man, i just have to share this thing that just went down.
so i just did the mission where you have to hijack the limo with thane in it and deliver him. i spent forever going down windy roads towards the objective once i was driving the limo, until some dickass soldiers forced me off the road and down into the jungle. the handling was rapidly degrading as my ride got wrecked, and i got it wedged between two big stumps.
so i grappled back up to the road, stole a military truck, drove it down into the forest and found the limo, with thane sitting in the back with the door blown off, none the wiser. i then used the truck to tow the limo out of its spot. i hopped back in the limo, agonizingly navigated another giant stretch of jungle with the handling totally dead, falling down hills and crashing through trees, then finally made it back to a road.
i was immediately swarmed by more soldiers, as i ambled towards the objective, barely being able to steer. literally as soon as it was in sight, flames started shooting out the limo (i had expected it to blow ages ago), and i thought it would comedically end there. i was way past the point of having any confidence. but i barreled top speed towards the return spot, and bailed out the second i drove through it. as what's-her-face-faction-chick was thanking me for returning him in the outro dialogue, the limo was busy exploding everywhere with him still inside. but it counted.
one of the best gaming moments i've had in a loooong time.

1. Start SMALL. Never go after a military base/compound unless you have a chopper first, or expect to take a beating.
2. Go after the civilian villages, and towns first. Collect all the boxes, and leave destroying anything for the end so you can make a quick getaway.
3. Get a vehicle and travel the highways. On pretty much EVERY overpass or bridge are weapon, and vehicle parts at the foot of the pillars holding it up. That's an easy way to rack up 10-15 boxes in like 20 minutes.
4. Never dual wield, and try to use the weapons that a majority of the soldiers carry. Default pistol, the submachine gun, the sniper rifle, etc. Don't use what little amount of grenades you have on these soldiers either, they are much more useful dealing with the SAM sites, radio towers, water towers, etc.
5. You can save ammo by melee attacking the Generators/Transformers. Don't use bullets for those, especially before you can carry more ammo.
6. Once again, NEVER go after a military base without an attack chopper. One of the Strongholds will eventually lead you to a base with attack choppers on it. REMEMBER THOSE BASES.
7. Don't try to kill all the soldiers. RUNNING IS OK. Get behind cover constantly, and slingshot your way around the base only dealing with IMMEDIATE threats, or Rocket/Sniper soldiers.
8. Once you start to collect weapon boxes, upgrade ONLY the weapons that you can find ammo for. You can always upgrade the Rocket Launcher later, start with the pistol, and the 2 grenade types.

Like the other guy said, you need to activate the race by walking up to the checkered flag on the ground and hitting a button... you can't activate it while in a vehicle. Then hop into your plane/car - one will spawn for you to use but I always use my own

Is that the spot right by the docs? Took a while to clear that one if it is. My last thing was a water tower almost at ground level. The longest one for me was a small frickin' military base early in the game. I spent 2+ hours looking for one last item and figured the game glitched on me. Next day I found it well outside the actual area in some grass near a hut. Grrrr... lesson learned.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
So, from a performance standpoint (excluding PC)... PS3 or 360?
