Good heavens! xD
If anyone wants my vanity pack code, send me a PM. I honestly only want skimpy clothes for my character, as bad as that sounds, lol. Ive played all 32 hours I've invested in Sunset Overdrive with the exact same outfit anyway - Hawaiian shirt, track shorts, and blonde dreads - here she is in this video (mid-game spoilers): http://xboxclips.com/video.php?uid=...tual&vid=34bb7baf-98d9-4c2a-b146-780abffadd5c
Edit: Someone has PM'd me and claimed the code.

Who knows. I bought it retail two days before release, didn't seem to matter...
I'm heading there today. Fingers crossed.
Seems everyone who was going to get has already got it, but I'll definitely send it your way if I get it.
I received code and I preordered it Oct 27, the Monday before release. It wasn't delivered until Wednesday Nov 5th, if that helps.

So they are really randomly thanking people for playing the game?
No thought or design behind sending out codes. Just look at who has played and pick at random.
Sigh...
My guess is it's coming for everyone but for some reason sent manually so it's taking some time to arrive for everyone.

Well, took advantage of the day long trial, and completed the game. Did all the main missions and did a bunch of sidequest stuff and challenges. Fun game overall, like a mash up of Crackdown, Jet Set Radio, and De Blob. Only managed to get 400/1000G on my playthrough so it looks like there's plenty to do if I ever buy the game in the future.
This full game trial does make me think MS may have shot themselves in the foot though. There's probably a bunch of people like me who'll just power through the main game and experience a bunch of stuff on the side before calling it quits, and then perhaps buying it for dirt cheap second hand a year down the line. Seems like some potential lost sales there. It'll be interesting to see if this increases sales for the game though.

Seems like the sensible thing to do would have been to put it on the store and let everyone who has the game download it.
This approach of randomly sending messages is just stupid.

all of them and the extra one I got for the Day One edition, some weapons took ages especially the dragon one. I noticed that using a weapon against its intended target gave higher exp. Also helps that you can use the weapon challenges to grind up specific weapons, like the murderang. Thankfullt I had 15 weapons maxed out by the time I finished the story.
today I booted sunset again after maybe a week.
in the meantime I bought the new games, including the openworld games, like unity and gta.
well, I think I prefer sunset city to both paris 1789 and los santos.
my plan was just to boot to check if anything changed, like a patch or something, but after booting it I got pulled and spent hours jumping around killing stuff, leveling up some weapons to full (got the chievo)
and collecting some old shoes etc.
Insomniac, I want to you to develop your world as much as rockstar has developed theirs!
add the freakin' first person camera too -gta style- and you got the bestest thing ever!

Hmm, so how is the murderang fully levelled up? Is it any good?
I think i might dedicate some time doing the weapon challenges. There's one for every weapon right?
ShogunDarius

Murderang at max with amps can one hit kill small enemies, medium take a couple hits, just not the big ones. Lethal against bots. No, only 7 or so have challenges.Also you wont gain experience in a challenge for a weapon until you own it.

Thanks. Shame there aren't weapon challenges for all the weapons.
am i the only one that refuses to buy a map and has ZERO issues cruising about spotting TP, neon, shoes, and balloons, and killing things as i go? this is the awesompocalypse and i'm enjoying it immensely taking my sweet ass time.

Just beat the game today. Dialogue at the end will make you laugh. Overall I loved it and think a sequel could really be something amazing. Now to trade it in for GTA and Far Cry.
well, today I bought all the maps that cost 2.5K and 5K. I had the money sitting there so what to do?
I agree, the world of sunset overdrive is very enjoyable to look at, to cruise to, to blow up.
MORE!!

the codes should go out to every user who has played SO up to a certain point last week.
not sure how long it takes for them all to go out.

I am not against buying the maps, but I haven't yet. It is a lot of fun just cruising around the map. I beat the missions and should have quit by this point, but is so much damn fun playing with no real goals other than collecting stuff and trying to find the perfect outfit for your character.

This game is so much fun. You and your colleagues did a damn fine job.
Thanks so much. Great game and awesome soundtrack!
Which reminds me, can you tell me what the first of the end credits song is?

Finally played this today. Loved it.
The game is very fun, dialogue is hilarious, the colors pop.
Wish I could play it longer.

Can we know what exactly is that certain point? Haven't received one yet so I have no idea if I'm eligible.
So yeah I was asking for a demo of this game for a while as the videos and reviews really were not enough for me to judge if I would like the game or not and MS makes the whole game available for one day at no extra charge to gold users and it just happens to be the one Saturday that I've managed to get off over the last few months. Awesome. Game also downloaded pretty quickly, was downloading at a consistent 120Mbps (15MB/s)
Was intending on trying for 10-15 minutes see how it was, ended up playing for 2 hours. Solid game. But honestly, they should've created a closed demo of a later section of the game or something, I want this game to sell well.
Insomniac did a great job.
Will be buying this game to show my support.
PS. I love the character customization. More games should do this.

so, i have no more icons for side quests on my map but the last one i did, investigating fizzco, ended with a cutscene of
. kind of odd to leave it like that, maybe i do have more side quests? if so, how do i open them up?
a fizzco guy (who looks surprisingly like the main default protagonist but in a suit, and big robot. do we get to fight him at some point?
The Achievement should pop after getting the 50th Gold Medal the total number of Challenges is 54. Maybe you already have the Achievement.
Can you say which point?
I'm not far in I don't think, still doing the scouts mission(although sidetracked with side missions!)
Wondering if I'll get the dlc.

Everything on manual?
I'm sorry, are you saying you want the game to play itself and require no skil?

I love that excuse.
Miles Quaritch

Really?
Explain to me what you mean by everything on manual. What exactly is wrong with having everything be manual?
Duxxy3

Every single movement has to be assigned to a (usually different) button, why?
Why do I need to hit x to start a grind? Why do I need to hit x to grab a pole? I jumped on the rail for a reason, I jumped towards the pole for a reason.
Why is the ground dash button separate from the air dash button?
Why not put speed up on L3? Why not put melee on R3? If it were my design I would put both dashes and the speed up under L3.
At this point in the game the Y button isn't used (I don't know if it ever gets used), so why doesn't that bring up the weapons menu instead of LB?
Do you realise how shit it would be if you just magnetised auto grinded every where?

Having played through various other open world games... nope. There is a smart way to do it.

the amount of grind places that intersect at different heights would be a nightmare to traverse
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
You're missing the point of the gameplay harkening back to 3D platformers which actually required some amount of skill to traverse the environment, instead of the auto-platforming in AC and Uncharted you seem to want. It's the reason many people love it and the game would suffer if they changed it. It'd be like playing an FPS and complaining that there isn't enough lock on, aiming manually is obsolete.

There's really not. Setting aside the fact that it's anathema to the game's overall playstyle, and that it would remove any semblance of skill from the traversal, it'd be a nightmare considering the sheer number of grindable objects in any given area.

I refuse to believe that the only option to make the game to control correctly was to set every single action to a button. I don't buy it.

by certain point I mean by a certain date. not sure if you had to earn an achievement or just play.

Not just correctly, but well. Not only would having an auto grind require them to burn down and rebuild the entire map, it'd make the game hugely less fun to play.
