I can not get enough of this game
Seriously this game has sucked up all my time this weekend and I've got a huge backlog of games to get through.
got to hand it to them they have done a hell of a job making this game AWESOME.
Last time I felt this way about an open world game was with GTA San Andreas, and thats saying alot.
I really don't know how there going to top what they have done with this with JC3
but GOD DAMN I'm sooooo looking forward to it

Ugh, the difficulty spike I'm hitting around 33% done is really turning me off to this. The game was an instant contender for top 10 of all time for me when I could hit 10-12 little camps and enemy bases before they took me down.
Now I dread blowing up a single water tower because I'll be fighting two choppers and twelve guards in literally 8 seconds time.
And I'm only on normal.
It's still a great game but this shit is really getting annoying.

I have had so much fun with the demo, but even with the time extends for completing missions, It isn't satifying enough. I think it's finally time to buy the retail game! So am I fine getting the PS3 version or is the 360 version better? PC isn't really an option for me as it would look nicer on consoles compared to my current setup.

Just run away. Learn to use the hook/chute method to get away quickly and let your heat go down.
Either that or steal a helicopter and fly away.

PS3 version is actually better, due to the video recording/YouTube uploading option.
QUESTION
I'm playing this wonderful game again on PS3, but I'm playing on a new PS3 with a save I brought over from my old PS3. When I go to view trophies, it says "there are no trophies". I've tried syncing, is there anything else I can do to recover my trophies, or are they gone forever? It's weird because I can't even look at the trophies.
It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to work towards them since I'm just on Mercenary mode now.

I'm pretty sure trophies are tied to your PSN username, not your savefile. Are you playing under the same username you were before?

Snuggler said:
Hm, that is odd then. I really don't think trophies are tied to a specific PS3 unit, given that you can view your trophy list online via the Playstation website. They've GOT to be tied to your PSN username. Really strange that they aren't showing up for you.

Ah, excellent. Good to hear.
Man, I really need to get back to this. It's my personal GOTY 2010. I'm either just at 50% completion, or really really close to it. Already "beaten" the game, but I need to concentrate on finishing up the Faction Missions now.
I've played about 44 hours and I'm only at 44% completion. It's pretty ridiculous, I wonder how many people actually managed to 100% the game. I'll probably never make it that far, but I like how you can make cash and work towards that % while just fucking around and wrecking stuff. The game is so much fun.
So in lieu of LBP2 and DS2 not being out yet I decided to try out this little game on my sexbox.
Wow, and I thought Crackdown's jumping was the highpoint of sandbox games. Damn, I can already tell free falling isn't going to get old. I'm not far at all, an hour in or so, but the graphics are ridiculous. Specially for this size of a game.
Couple questions though:
1) Does it matter which faction I choose? Am I eventually going to go through all of them or am I just sticking with one?
2) To get cash and make money I just blow shit up right? Anything I want? Anywhere I want?
Fun game. I might not finish it before the heavy hitters start coming out, but I will be making my way back sometime.

This game has replaced puzzle games as my thing to do when I have some time to kill. Just pick a random location and take it over.
Jay Shadow said:
I can play this game for abnormality long periods of time. I can go for 3-4 hours at a time without getting bored. I feel like I'm almost making a little bit of progress towards something, even when I'm doing nothing. It's just insanely fun with all the crazy stunts you can do and it's like being in the middle of a crazy action movie. Plus, the game is gorgeous, especially when you're buzzing over Pinauaaua in a badass jet.
On a different note, I finally got around to trying the Air Propulsion Gun and it's awesome. I love standing on a high bridge and blowing cars off the side, it's hilarious. That brings me to me only complaint about this game: I wish I could unlock infinite ammo! I'm done with the story, I'm just having fun now, and it would be so nice to have unlimited ammo for my hijinks.

Also, I run into the same issue in this game that I do in Fallout games. I have a place I want to go...unfortunately there's other stuff along the way and I get distracted by everything. Then I realize I've played 2 hours without going anywhere near where I put my waypoint. I feel like GlaDOS's curiosity core.
Passed 10hr mark.
Ran into my first bug. I drove a jeep over a bridge and the car fell right through! I couldn't rappel onto the bridge or anything. I could run through it myself, as well as half the buildings in that area. The geometry existed but the innards weren't there.
After a reload it worked fine, but that was pretty crazy. Funnnnnn game though. I also found the balloon!

Hey, I am having a few odd physics issues, the main character keeps getting stuck in the air, any clue on how to resolve such a problem?
Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anDhbcyKi8s
And this is the second time within 1 hour of playing the game that it happened. I have a Geforce 9500 card if it helps.

Finished the main quest at 18 hours. 33.5% completed.
Wow. For a game that I randomly popped in to hold me over till LittleBigPlanet 2 I had an amazing time. The game ran really smoothly on my 360 outside of some loading hiccups and major chaos outings which is impressive, considering the scope of the world.
The game looks great and it seems like every random point I was stopping at allowed me to view a gorgeous vista. Game play and controls were more than competent. I loved hijacking helicopters and jumping from car to car, all while taking dudes out.
Rico's adventure was told poorly and to say this game has a story is generous, even by videogame standards. However, the mission variety (outside stronghold takeovers) more than made up for this fact.
There's too much to gush about, but damn I had a great time. Pretty much the best open world experience I've had out side of Crackdown. I won't forget ejecting out of my plane and free falling serenely back toward those ocean blues.

Finally got the 50% completion trophy, seven months after getting the game.
Man. this game...if this isn't the best value for your money, I don't know what is. I'll be at well over 100 hours by the time I 100% it, if I ever do.

Don't know about any graphical differences, but one appealing feature about the 360 is that it's available for Games On Demand. If there's any retail 360 title that's worth having on your hard drive to boot up at any given moment, it's this one.

So I hated the opening of this game but I really like it now I can go do whatever I want and ignore the missions. The world is so freaking big I doubt I'll ever explore it all. I'm thinking about just strategically taking out Panau military bases- is there anything else worth considering doing in the world?

The races are fun as hell. If you want more spice, put in a mod or two. Grappling from half a km away is pretty fun.
Visualante said:
Youll see some race flag icons on the map. The races can be fun sometimes if thats your thing.
Other than blowing shit up and racing, theres not much else. Exploring is fun. For instance, hop in a plane and fly it to the island in the northwest corner of the map.

Yeah I love racing, I'm not sure I'm overly fond of the driving model so far but I'll give it a go.Salaadin said:

Once you start completing missions and destroying shit on a massive scale, money is no issue. I think I have around 8 million dollars to buy stuff. That's a lot of tanks falling out of that guy's helicopter.Loudninja said:
Quick technical question for the PC crowd. I just got this on the Steam sale, and I'm loving the shit out of it. Might also be my best game of 2010.
When I select "optimal settings" in video settings menu, it essentially maxes out my graphics. I do have a mid range processor with 4GB ram and an ATI 5750; however, I am still sensing some minor slow down spikes (maybe 20ish fps) and it kind of drives me crazy.
Does anyone know what the 'biggest bang for my buck' would be in lower graphic settings? I am thinking maybe turn shadows down to medium or object detail down to high, but I was curious if anyone had suggestions for turning down settings that would be subtle and net a good performance gain.

This isn't true for the tutorial mission (I'm not sure about other missions). You have to attack a moonlit fortress, and while it's true you CAN leave the area, you will fail the mission and be forced to restart it if you jump off the mountain, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.Aesius said:
That is presumably the exception rather than the rule though, unless you're just limited while in an active mission.
I would try turning down shadows. I think I had a weird flickering effect with the shadows on my 5850, so I probably have them down/off. If that doesn't help then anti-aliasing or object detail maybe?
Blizzard said:
Im pretty sure that youre only limited while in an active mission. The mission range is pretty large though and theres little reason to ever leave the area since a lot of them take place in single areas. There are some racing ones and others where you need to chase down someone/hijack a car but again, theres no real reason to drift off course there either.
Outside of missions, its just open to explore and screw around. And damn does it do a good job at that.
