Why do I have only 50% of my ammo after I use fast travel? Is this a bug? Very annoying.

It's not in the game, but it'd be an interesting idea. The way traversal challenges work now is that they're ring chases; you have to go through them in the right order to proceed. What you're talking about is a little more open ended, but it could be cool.
I am in love with this game but there is one thing that annoys me.When I press start I would like to be on the character screen (where you customize weapons etc.) and not on that whatever it is screen right now.I even don't know what it is because I always press left right after it loads.
Also it would be really awesome to have faster loading when you are replaying challanges.
It always go into that camera angle and shows you the track.It can be annoying when you are repeating something a lot.
Other than that it is amazing.

Ahh yeah, it makes sense to have checkpoints. I wonder how easy it would be for the devs to implement basic tools to make our own. Anything given to the community always brings up awesome results and replayability.

And this is where my luck with clipping through walls and having to fast travel just kills the experience for me.
Hardly anyone else has even mentioned this so I guess I have really bad luck.
I guess I'm a little confused about the amp mechanics. I admit, I wasn't paying as much attention as I probably should have during the tutorial.
So you earn amps and put them in the 9(?) slots and they get leveled up. But in addition, you can put amps on the weapons somehow? I know they upgrade in level as you use them, but not sure if you can do something manually to upgrade some weapons faster than others?

Good gravy! 35 in HK! Thanks for that link. That's going to come in very handy.

Yeah, that is very messed up, but I haven't seen anything even close to that. Outside of occasionally noticeable pop-in and the music sometimes deciding it doesn't want to play for a bit I haven't had any technical issues at all.

Amps don't level up on their own, only weapons do that. You slot Amps into a) your 5 Amp slots and b) your weapons. Each amp is assigned a category, be it weapons, hero, epic, divebomb, or melee.
UK, but I'm in Ireland. There's no Irish amazon - amazon.ie just redirects to .co.uk, and then they crucify you with slow and expensive delivery charges. And this time, failure to even dispatch on the release date or even notify me of the fact.
Still, it's worked out well, because I've now spent the money on a half-price PSTV from play-asia, which is a deal I would have missed out on. I'll have to grab SO another time. Plus I still have the code for the pre-order bonus which Amazon mailed out in advance.
A-ha, I was missing b). I swore I could level up amps, but is that something else? Like more % damage against OD, etc.

You level up weapons through use but you can buy higher level versions of existing amps (with ingredients, not cash).

Yeah, that's Overdrives. Bit different, more... passive, I guess. You buy Overdrives with Badges, which you earn by doing stuff. Like, you earn grinding badges by grinding, and with them you can buy overdrives that enhance your grinds.

Got my copy from Game, there did not seem to any ads or shelf space for it, the store was dominated by Call of Duty AW. Enjoying it so far.

Some of them could be avoided (like a wire ending right before a glass opening to an ice cream shop), I ground off the wire and hit the glass just right to end up inside, and there's no door and you can't break the windows.
Some of them not so much, I was grinding one of those ledges on the edge of a building and fell straight down into the wall below.
Not enough to make me not desire to go play more, but when it happens it snaps me out of the Awesomepocalypse. And we all know once your in you don't want to leave.
After playing this game for 5 hours today
Who the hell was calling the traversal slow?
Yeah, the game started to truly click with me as soon as i unlock the air dash. holy shit! Not only does it really open up traversal but it's an excellent defensive and offensive maneuver Dashing over/ toward enemies of away from them while blasting with a powerful weapon. I was facing a Herker and dashing all over the place while fucking his shit up with the compensator. Really loving the missions so far too. So far my personal GOTY!

The ending credits, holy shit lol.
So, after getting the hang of this game, I realized I wasn't dying enough, thus not seeing all the respawn animations. So every now and then, I just jump to the ground and let the mutants do their work. Man, some of these are amongst my favorite bits in the game. Just got the
one. I'm a sucker for cheap fan service, apparently.

Yeah - considering the number and composition of the enemies thrown at you, and all the weapons to manage, all while keeping your style combos going to chaining one move after another while nailing your shots - if it was any faster it'd be too much.
Just a small taste of mixing it up in free roam. I can, and do, do this for hours
And that was just before my random zaps of lightning amp kicked in. And a random aside: I've formulated a method to the madness of my weapon wheel. Most effective weapon against Scabs to the left, robots on the right, OD on the bottom, and bosses up top. Then I slot weapons on the diagonals based upon their mix of damage. So, good against Scabs and ODs? Slot it in bottom left. robots and bosses? Top right.
Heh, so far it works for me anyway.

I stayed pretty in the dark about this game so I had no clue really what to expect but after getting used to the controls and learning new moves by playing the campaign, this is some of the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. The traversal never gets old and it's awesome how quick you can get to a location. I feel like this is a must own if you have an Xbox One. One of the best games of the year. By the way, more games need to take note of how this game handles missions...perfect way to do it...save for later and make it easy to choose which one you want to be active.
Hey guys, a bit OT but since this is the biggest XB1 thread going on right now...
Does the XB1 Headset Adapter allows you to plug regular headphones to get full audio out from the controller like you can on the PS4?
I'm using an xb1 plugged into my second computer monitor at work so I don't have any way to get the audio out right now.

3 or 4 hours in and this really is fantastic. The traversal makes the combat a lot more fun than a usual third person shooter, as do the weapons. The dialogue is really good too, really self referential and there's quite a few game references in there.

Yes, any stereo headset with the adapter should let you hear the game audio through the headset.
Correct, it does this
Yes.
I use an insane set up that involves the following:
1) Headset Adaptor
2) Astro Gaming Y Splitter (Splits the stereo signal from the mic signal)
3) The Headphone part goes to a FiooE07 Amp
4) My Audiotechnica A900x's get the sound from the amp.
5) The mic line of the splitter connects to my antlion modmic
I look like a weird nerd hobo while I play.

How long is everyone finding this to be? I can't tell how early I am
Be aware some devices don't work wit it for chat, mt Razer Krakens for example.
Just saved the troops from the dragon and did a few missions with Scientist guy-man.

I finished the main story in 8 hours.
I have only played the game for a couple of hours, but my initial worries that the humor would detract from the game were unfounded (for me). I often times get a smile or a chuckle and when they miss it is never so cringe-worthy that it effects my enjoyment of the game.
The traversal is a lot of fun once you get the controls down and can be pretty tricky when fighting enemies and switching weapons mid-grind, wall-ride, etc. Excited to play some more and very happy that the game is living up to my expectations. I needed something like this after playing The Evil Within.

Oh man... Just found brill cream, lol!
The achievement art makes for great backgrounds with the latest fast update.
Loving this game, best I've played in a long time.

I couldn't stop laughing. I felt like a juvenile at that point. The boss fight in that part of the game was amazing as well.

Probably just keep killing ODs?
I hope/assume that in the future there will be some kind of Bornerland 2 update that makes it way easier to get stuff/currency that's super hard currently.

GODDAMN I love that air dash!
I didn't expect anything to take over Divinity: Original Sin for my GOTY but Sunset may just do it
This sounds like an great setup. The problem I've always with headsets is having chat and game audio come through at once and, with my Turtle Beaches, the game audio drowning out chat. Is that what your setup prevents happen?
And how do you manage that many wires haha?
I need to get those so I can use my Antlion mod mic!
I was doing that. I earned maybe 5k in 3 hours.

It took me a few minutes to get the joke with Bryllcream, but damn I laughed when I did (and then felt extremely bad for it).
If you've done all the side missions, I think your best bet is Chaos Squad.
