Cool thanks.
Agreed. The LARPERs was the best section of the game so far. Excellent humor, mission design and flow. My wife could not stop laughing watching me play it.

Just the Propain launcher, IIRC.
Got the white Sunset Overdrive Xbox One bundle on Tuesday (so sexy) and have to say I am loving the game. At times I do feel a little like I am trying to keep a whole bunch of plates spinning at the same time, but its mostly just a complete blast just getting around and messing with the different guns. Haven't even tried messing about too much with traps yet either, just started doing missions for the troop.
I do agree that the comedy can hit cringe level at times, but when it gets it right it really nails it. As others have said, the
mission is one of the standout moments of this generation so far, and deserves some love as one of the 'moments' of the year in end of year lists.
On a side note also very much enjoying the Xbox One, I still think I will get multi-plats on the PS4 but in terms of exclusives I feel I have a lot to catch up on, Forza Horizon 2, Dead Rising 3, and Halo MCC being the three main ones. Also having had a 360 as my main console all through last gen there is something that feels like home about the One. Wish they had left the Achievements alone mind, never had a problem on 360 and already had the One Achievement app bug out on me twice.

Chaos Squad is insane, so much going on at once. Hit detection seems a bit off though, more than a few cases where I'm pretty sure I should have died.

I'm not sure if it's fun though.
So i just bought a xbox one bundle.. sunset is installing atm, 1.5 hours and at 45% maybe ill play today
Same boat. Picked up the White bundle yesterday...Sunset is at 78% after being on pretty much all day downloading.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
The Dude is such a good gun, just wrecks nearly everything. Just got the Roman Candle Gun as well and aside from the range it too is awesome. Thinkin freeze bomb next.
Yes.

I don't think any other melee weapons become available to buy. The only ones I have are the pre order bonuses and ones obtained as rewards for story missions/side quests.
Finished with this game now. replayability is pretty much nil unless your a leaderboard chaser. Chaos squads netcode is really bad for me. Hit detection problems are the worst. When you lay down 4 level 5 hairspray bombs in a massive horde of od and don't get one kill from it. You know it's really not worth the hassle. Must of played about 20 games and not got one amp from it. Also playing with randoms on downtown is rage inducing. Especially when you do all the highest chas missions and still don't have enough at the end. Not worth the frustration. Time to sell it on while there's so much more to play. Def a great game as I'd expect from my beloved insomniac.. But not really a goty contender. Def the best xbox one exclusive this year though.

I loved this game, but the side-missions were pretty lacklustre in their design. Super repetitive. They all seemed to be 'Go fetch *insert object here*: 0/5' type missions. I would have liked some more variety and originality.
Infamous: SS disappointed me in this area too. That being said, the side-missions were pretty much the only thing about the game I was disappointed by.

The side quests had some of the best variety I've seen in an open world game. Only a few were fetch quests...

Really? Hmm. Maybe I'm just remembering more of them than there actually were because of how much I dislike them, lol.

I think you might be.
Fizzie, rock night, hardcore, fallen sister, EXP, Hector. There are some truly fantastic and varied side quests...
as somebody already said, most of them aren't available to buy. You get them through missions
you get the Foam sword through the Awesome mission
Excalimune through the excalimune mission
And I believe the fizzco baton( lightsaber) is done by doing one of floyds flag missions
It's the most popular game among people on my friends list. 42/120 have played it in the last 10 days.

Could just be a small shipment?
Yeah, 37 people have played it on mine. Pretty great...
Pray to the RNG gods and play some Chaos Squad.
thats the only way? odd.

This game is so awesome. I really hope that it sells enough to warrant a sequel. I know that I will be purchasing all the new content.
I NEED MOAR!!!
I NEED MOAR!!!
You can do it after.
Yes you can.
Actually i was able to play the intro at 30% then again at 50% and then at 80% i was able to play the full game.
It really was
, its a pretty fun game, really funny.Anyway, i'm new to xbox one, anyone pro tips for a begginer as me? Also, is a gamertag thread around for new owners?.
Finally got around to finishing the main story. Loved, loved, loved my time with the game!! Around 30 hours with very few sidequests, challenges and collectibles done. Spent a lot of time fooling around the city and in Chaos Squad
Any tips for 100%ing this game? I rarely ever bother with it but this game is so damn fun that I'd like to get every achievement before the DLC arrives

Buy the maps get all the collectibles then pray to RNGsus you get award an amp in chaos squad.
Then pray again in Downtown chaos squad you get joined up with compotent players, then pray that RNGesus then awards you enough chaos across the match to get the score needed to get the achievement. I gave up on it. When I finally did get enough chaos I was with a few shit ppl. And the other 9 times I never even got past 1500 chaos.
Rahool in destiny is the most generous guy ever compared to this tbh.
Final Verdict

Same here.
I see a lot of potential in a sequel with a longer story, and better thought out side missions.

What about the side quests wasn't well thought out? Some of them were better than the main story missions and they offered a lot more variety too.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
I agree and just stopped doing any of them about half way through.
Haha, ok. I've played Downtown chaos just once and I got disconnected in the middle
Btw for people looking to upgrade their weapons and get that 15k OD killed achievement, the drummer mission is a nice place to do that. Just don't do the required objective and keep killing the endlessly respawning ODs. Spent about an hour and levelled up almost 10 of my weapons to max.Must have killed a million of those bastards in the process
