I think the world is very well designed and feels "full" and interesting to explore. Lot's of people everywhere and plenty to see and do.
When you think about it, open-world games would be perfect for F2P and can work with Single Player. You keep updating the game, adding new items,collectables, missions and even whole new map areas - all for free and you offer all these boos packs and unlocks if people want to speed their way ('Face level X \ X money required to access the new island' for example).

There are mods and mods.
Now that i've looked into it, he didn't agree with her, but he was very civil about it. Anyway, it should be a short one.

Major perverted Spoilers VIVI:
Major perverted Spoilers RANDOM EVENT:
The more you know.
So during the mission where I have to bug Vivi's place, I decided to see what all the fuss was about when she was stepping in the shower. To my surprise the steam was preventing me from seeing anything. I was disappointed.
Major perverted Spoilers RANDOM EVENT:
As I was making my way down the highway driving worse than my other Asian counterparts, and setting the highway ablaze (not from sheer speed, but rather the amount of vehicle explosions I kept causing), I came across a yellow shield event, so I decided to check what was happening. Upon first glance there was an abandoned car in front of a gated a community; I kept hearing bonks, thus, I decided to check the trunk of the car... And out pops a female NPC dressed in revealing lingerie, asking my character who he was and where her husband was located. After a brief awkward moment, Wei reassured her that she was fine, but she obviously knew that, and then ran-away looking for her husband leaving Wei perplexed. Rich people kinky.
TDLR; the woman was parodying an incident that happened in Canada a few years back, where a 17 year-old girl and her 20 something boyfriend were roleplaying a kidnapping to make their sex-lives better. To make matters more interesting the girl called the cops and told them there was someone in her house. The police later found the girl in her boyfriend's car, naked, and telling them that they were only roleplaying and that the phone call to the police was just part of the deal.

this game continues to amuse me
still cant post screenshots so i'm just making gifs - all come out in slow-mo though, so im guessing the game is conflicting with msi afterburner's capture utility
also the 305.67 drivers coupled with the 0x0C4010F5 SLI bit gave me much better performance than older drivers with nvidia's own SLI profile.

15 hours in and loving every minute
So amazing they put some great music in here (I already own every track on the ninja tune station and warp records station already!) people need to know names like Autechre, Hudson Mohawke, Two Fingers, Flying Lotus and Emika.
so good

As mentioned I been playing this game on PS3 and having a good time.
Got a chance to play it on PC.
I don't want to play it on PS3 anymore ;_;

Dat high-res texture pack.
thats why the collectibles are on a second map page - you don't ever have to press the button to know where they are if you don't want to... you can play it either way

Anyone have any comparison screenshots with and without the hi-res texture pack?
Haha that's awesome
Green are main story, Orange are side things, like fight clubs and street races. Yellow are favors/sidequests, and yeah, blue is police quests.
Replaying this game is amazing, so much fun, even without all the upgrades available at the start.

Now that I got all achievements, I tried the Red Envelopes DLC pack...
Got 19 out of 20 envelopes, and every single one of those were placed right besides
...and because I can only find 19
on the map, I don't know yet where the 20th envelope is ^^

There's something terribly wrong about turning on the classical station, hearing the circus music song, and then just plowing through a crowd of people.

Where can I find a grey suit?
The one without a tie, I mean. I found the pants, but not the torso part.
Same goes for the dark brown suit, by the way. Assuming those even exist? It kind of annoys me that the different stores all sell a piece of some collection. I hate driving all over town to find that one store that may or may not sell that one item.
It would've been mighty helpful if the map hud indicated what brand of store it is when you hover over it.

I just tried the demo. I really wanna play it just to explore the game world. That small festival where the demo starts you off was really nice. I liked the ambient music and the chatter going on among the citizens. It's too bad there was no driving segment in the demo. That's what I really wanted to try out. There's one thing I'm worried about though. How's the game replay value? Is it still worth playing once you beat it? I got bored of GTAIV soon after I beat the story.
seriously having a blast here, the city is gorgeous, the fighting mechanics are awesome (thank god they didn't hold back with the gore), driving has that arcade feeling that i fuckin love and Shen is hot as fuck
and i can't stop playing, something that hasn't happened to me in a long time <3
being a HK's movies maniac surely helps a lot lol

No, there is not an option to change the spoken language, but much of the cutscene dialogue is english with random cantonese words thrown in (usually swear words, or an important word repeated in cantonese after being spoken in english). Lots of people on the streets speak cantonese.
SMT

You can put Cantonese subtitles, most of the dialogue is in Cantonese.
I am absolutely loving this game. I'm about 2/3 the way through the main story, and if it maintains the same level of quality through to the end, this will go down as one of my favourite games of the generation. Dodgy camera issues aside, I honestly cannot think of any flaws this game has. Simply superb.
Its mostly english with some cantonese thrown in here and there to keep it 'authentic'
but it works well. I like it - this is coming from someone who wanted a cantonese dub when before the game came out.
there's subtitles for the cantonese if you don't understand.
My mind is blown by the voice acting... is this just about the best voice acting u can get in a game? I don't play many games so I wouldn't know - but Sandra and Vivi's voice acting is absolutely outstanding.

I have now beaten the game twice and I still want more...
I wish there was a newgame+ option with beefed up enemies as the core game is just a blast to play, especially once you have the entire move set, that you're left wanting to spend more time as Wei in that world.
And though it may be a matter of semantics to some, I would argue that this is less a GTA clone as it is a Red Dead Redemption clone, one is satire the other is a love letter.

I just picked this game up today. It's pretty awesome so far. I had to go with the PS3 version, but I think it looks amazing. I had a laugh when listening to the radio and I heard a travel ad to visit Panau.

Omg yes. Seriously the voice actors in this game for all the main characters are amazing. The face missions/sidequests/some misc. npcs are ok, but Wei, Vivi, Sandra, Winston, Pendrew, Raymond, etc are alllll so good.
I haven't heard voice acting so good since Red Dead Redemption =)
Old but should be in the OT
Edison Chen is in the game? Amazing.
Like I said my wife is from hong kong, so I am completely familear with his silly scandal.

Look at this contemplative bad motherfucker
Enough with the screens dude.
Why dont you answer my question?
I am not really sure I understand.
I don't think I have FXAA disabled so if my screenshots are less blurry than others it must be a combination of 1600p being downsampled to 1050p combined with maximum quality JPEG settings.
I capture the screenshots with FRAPS as BMPs and then convert to JPGs.

Fixed version:
1. Steal car.
2. Drive in front of taxi.
3. Get out of car.
4. Hold Y to Hire Taxi.
5. Somehow the Y button wasn't held down for some reason, even though you did, and you end up hi-jacking the Taxi.
Repeat 1-4 until success. Usually takes me 2-3 tries to do it successfully.

They both exist in the same universe. Crossover!
Just buy the game, thank me later.
I don't get why games can't use a different button to hire taxis. I remember having the same problem in GTA and Red Dead.
