Finished the game tonight. Done all side quests, now I'll tackle some challenges and play more coop.
Fantastic game from start to finish, I'm actually a bit sad it already ended
There's one thing that pissed me off, though. I bought the day one digital version with the season pass, when browsing the store I noticed that that are some weapons and outfits that I don't own... Kinda shitty of them to not include all content available with my purchase.

One thing that would be kind neat would be seeing the winner of Chaos Squad in a full character trophy screen. I mean, I see what other dudes and ladies are wearing but it would be neat to get a close up at the end of a match.
Just a random thought. Trying to think of things for a patch and stuff.

After spending several hours just dicking around I finally decided it was time to finish it. An Amazing ending to an amazing game.

It's more how they all used pretty much the same exact thumbnail. Those videos are all from different channels, if that wasn't clear.

First time playing Choas Squad and
So has anyone figured out what the hell the tagging collectibles are? I'm 14 hours in the game and still haven't found one or even know what it is
I did find some graffiti on a wall with some candles that I can examine but it did not count towards the tagging so I figure that was an Easter egg?

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Look for billboards that say, I believe, Your Ad Here and then stand in front of them, you'll get the option to press Y to tag it.

The tagging collectibles are finding
fizzco billboards that say something like "see your ad here!" and you tag it. Once you tag one, Twohat will sell maps to find the rest.
It's not as cool as I hoped it'd be. I thought maybe they'd
somehow do some JSR/F style stuff with it, but you just use the same graffiti art on every sign it seems.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I found something interesting on Reddit which lead me to xboxachievements.
Apparently the game has some hidden collectible(s).
If you come across this "street art" in the game you can press "Y" to collect it.
It appears there is a total of 12 of them.
Here is a map of 9 known locations so far
Go Detective-GAF, go!
I would try to find them all but I am dog tired and it's 12:36am
I found one at the beach next to the womans bathroom. Not sure if its on the list.

Ending wasn't that amazing.
Loved the celeb appearance though, not a big name so it was a surprise.

Retailer-exclusive content, I'm afraid. I'm pretty sure you can't even buy it (yet).
Just finished it. I wasn't too crazy about it.
It's fairly pretty (it's mostly a gorgeous pumped-up Crackdown city but full of Rock Band characters), and it's undoubtedly a lot of fun to move around, but while shooting hordes of mutants (which you do a lot of) none of the weapon variety or the million little slots for customizable upgrades wind up meaning anything. There's never any worry. You fall from the top of a tower, a self-aware little portal appears and pops you right back in at the top of the tower. You die doing some goofy escort mission and you come right back, mission state in-tact, a few feet away (maybe with a cute unique respawn animation you might not have seen yet, granted). No difficulty levels, no real way to get any spice out of the game's countless battles aside from simply getting better at the don't-touch-the-ground movement. Which is fun, but only to a point. Playing this reminded me a bit of my time with Gravity Rush. Gravity Rush was another pretty open-world game with a unique way to get around and sub-par combat, but the combat wasn't quite as sub-par, the characters were far more lovable and less try-hard, the music was more engaging, and falling around the city was cooler than wallrunning and grinding around Sunset City.
Overdrive did pick up a bit at the end, at least. There are two specific parts that I really enjoyed (
) that really show how the game's combat and movement can work well together, but this is the end of the game. These missions should have been the model for the whole game and make everything else feel awfully lazy in comparison.

If anyone is interested in a SECRET outfit, follow this map and press Y on the stick figure graffiti.
They look like this:
You get this:
Whoa, couple things.
Is there a bigger version of that map and where did you get the assassins outfit? What sidequest did you have to complete? Or did you buy it from the vendor?

Does anyone happen to have a monocle unlocked? Maybe from Chaos Squad?
I was really disappointed when I realized I didn't have one.

My god this game is good, so much fun!
I'm holding off buying COD now because I don't want anything taking me away from this masterpiece before the MCC comes out.
I'm not even doing the missions either...it's fun just grinding around shooting anything that moves!

So the bladers (I think that's their name) have this sword/blade they can throw and have it bounce around the area...please tell me that's an unlockable at some point.
Thanks.
Looks like I need to dedicate some time to finding all the viewpoints.

All collectibles net you some piece of fashion.
Security Cameras, Neon Signs, Balloons, etc.
Yes, of course.
I can play any other game on One with no problem whatsoever, it's REALLY weird.
And also, i notice that the game crashes most of the time when i look at challenges. :/

So, how would you guys rate this in comparison to Insomniac's overall output?
I have an Xbox One and this game coming tomorrow (along with Wolfenstein....VERY excited to finally play it). REALLY looking forward to this game. SO and Halo MCC pushed me over the edge into purchasing an XB1.

See, I've been collceting them and haven't noticed any new gear unlock. Or do you mean after collecting a certain amount?

Each collectible gives you a reward.
You have to destroy all security cameras to get a item.
Collect all Fizzie balloons to get the reward.
Etc.
I would make a list with pictures but no screenshot function on XBO...yet.
Just bought the season pass. First time buying a season pass.
Hell, I'm giving away a season pass!
YEAH! Best thing to wake up to is to have won the season pass for SO! Thanks so much :x :x :x
You can find one in an area then buy the map for the rest. same with all the other collectibles.

Does there need to be? During the main campaign I don't think I died more than 5 times, certainly less than 10 but I didn't want to die either. The game kept me alert with how hard hitting enemies were (any large enemy in the game can two-hit you) so I frequently found myself looking for health boxes. Keeping the game active shouldn't be a negative. What is important is the threat of death is there and the AI is good at keeping the pressure on.
I'm somewhat surprised at your comparison to Gravity Rush. I liked it enough for it to be one of my few platinum titles but the game on the whole is few tiers of jank beneath Sunset Overdrive in mechanic fluidity.
I really want more Gravity Rush though...

I can count the amount of open world games where I don't fast travel on one finger, and that's sunset overdrive. Why fast travel when I can literally play the floor is lava to every quest.
Cool.
You lost me here. One of the greatest things about this game is the weapon variety and the customizable upgrades. The weapon variety allows you to play how you play. Want to freeze enemies then use the acid sprinkler? Go for it. Want to use pulse mines, go ahead. The upgrades add a ton of possibilities. Want flames while you grind on each side to help vs enemies? Want a mini tornado to spawn after your melee strike? Do you want a chance for enemies to be stunned if they melee you? These are some of the boring ones but the game has some of the coolest upgrades ever. The combat really shines and IMO one of the best combat systems I've played, sure it could be more difficult.
My major complaint is the lack of music . Traversing around the city is a ton a fun BUT the stale music downs it. It would be a lot better going around the city with some killer rock type tracks keeping the excitement going .

Wow, there is a lot to collect in this game outside the amp materials. Still finishing up challenges then going back to a few final side quests. Most of my amp materials are at like 130 without using any maps, sure I'll need them (and then the one you posted) to tidy everything up.
Go big with the DLC Insomniac!

Which weapons are people finding to be their go-tos? I have a bunch of OD that I'm looking to spend.
Additionally, what are some of the better amps people have been buying from Floyd? Lots of choices, but nothing really stood out to me at first blush. Don't want to waste my collectible stash on something that's bad

Hairspray Bomb for me, clears out hordes like nobody's business. As for Amps, I really like the Lightning Storm epic amp, so I picked up level 2 of that.
So I got home yesterday, loaded the game, and got presented with the hot chick body type, pixie faced, pigtails, hotpants, bikerboots and the layered tank top. This conversation followed my amazement (please note that we were in seperate rooms):
- "Honey, have you been playing Sunset Overdrive?"
- "Yes, I wanted to try it out. I played around with the character creator for a bit, hope you don't mind, you change it back to whatever you want right?"
- "Yeah, no problem, I was just wondering.... the outfit you pic"
- "I thought it looked cool, so I went to the store." at this moment she steps into the living room rocking pigtails, wearing hotpants and a tanktop "I couldn't find the bikerboots, though, so I hope these high heeled boots are good enough."
Almost no SO was played yesterday.
