Shadow is awesome. You can even find a nice safe spot and fire a coffin bomb across the map using the radar to aim. Set up bombs in narrow passages and one shot Reapers.
How many cars hit with one coffin is that?

Yeah lol. I've gotten gold on every event on Twisted but the last two bosses and I simply don't have the patience to try for it again. Warthog sucks anyways, Shadow FTW
Nah, I got it from Shoot My Truck. I tweeted that Jaffe should put a dunk tank with the G4 reviewer on it and let us throw balls at it and he said I got an RC truck. Totally cool.
Check the back of the instruction manual. If it isn't printed there... then panic.
duhdoi, i'm dumb ha. i forgot my friend took out the manual last night. i looked in the case and there was no manual and i was freaking a bit ha. thanks for reminding me!

Oh hahaha, you're that guy!
I didn't have any trouble with them, First road block was the mean juggernauts and now im at a dead end with the carnival of stupid...
Hmm still not sure on some of those. Hit Base With Missile I was more thinking 100xp, It's only going to get harder with players getting used to nuke but hey guess we'll see.
Thank God it's over. it's so fucking random, gotta wait for a period where he just fucking sits still or just rotates in place. Fuck this archaic "story" mode. The voice overs before each level is FUCKING dreadful. Especially after Sweet Tooth's mid movie, the next level intro is fucking awkward and character breaking as fuck. The Calypso Sweet Tooth dialogue then is just shit-tastic.
Honestly, I feel this structure is an absolute collapse backwards. The arena style progression of previous titles worked because you were learning as you played, it was the actual game you will be playing post story (MP or otherwise). These things we're forced to do in this TM just pulls out all the things the game isn't meant to do and puts them on a glowing pedestal. What the flying fuck were they fucking thinking? I mean, really.
I am not looking forward to the other 2 campaigns on Twisted just to get Warthog. "Story" mode is a travesty. When Multiplayer works, it's fucking great. Challenge mode is good fun too, to learn maps, weapon placement, and potential strategies and choke points. Training mode teaches you nothing but how to push buttons. It puts no context into what you're doing. If they wanted to mix things up, do some 1v1 matches in the singleplayer to teach players certain tactics. Perhaps, "You can only absorption shield, absorb Reaper's flamesaw and launch a fully charged stalker to defeat your opponent." Or even, "You are Reaper, You only have shotgun ammo, defeat Darkside/Juggernaut while navigating the canal channels in Watkyn's Harbor," for a nice homage to Terminator. Things like that would be a welcome mix-up to the DM style of old. This would promote different ways to play the core game without hamfisting weird ass ways of playing how this game wasn't meant to be played, (i.e. Grimm Fight, 2nd part).
Yeah, I'm fucking raging right now, but it's given me some great clarity on why the shit in SP is just dreadful.
Also, Looks like I'll be trying some NUKE later on.

Yeah, I agree. At least 100xp for hitting a statue with a missile, but I think they are afraid that if they make it that high then everyone will fight over sacrifices instead of playing classes. When I play deathmatch I can get over 1,000XP in a 10 minute deathmatch. Nuke takes much longer and even though I tend to score most of the successful missile hits on my team when I play nuke I'm lucky to get 500XP.
Talons need to fucking stop taking the leaders.
Yeah, I hate that. Are there points for airlifting teammates to hard to reach leaders? Cuz there should be. Like if a Talon picks up a teammate, and then that teammate gets a leader, points given. Often in nuke I find myself playing Crimson Fury during the offensive round, then killing myself and picking a better defense round vehicle like Talon.

Any idea when the next patch is due?
They just recently changed the experience values for NUKE, since that could be done without a patch, but the actual patch that was supposed to hit Friday got delayed because it caused a new bug that if Shadow used the alt Special it would instantly freeze/crash the game.
So, it's been pushed to next week where they will hopefully fix that and perhaps add some other stuff to the patch. So, maybe next weekend.
More like the bullshit level jumps each story. Yes, each story gets progressively more "challenging."
Try getting friendly with Talon and just focus on the Juggernauts
I finally got a friend over to do some co-op. As bad as he is, once I put him in Talon (with me driving Juggernaut) we have been wreaking face, Gold medals have never seemed so easy to get.
Except we're stuck on the second race event because he either can't get in the top 4 or stay alive long enough to finish.
We had a helluva time with The Brothers Grimm... Iron Maiden and the last boss will be interesting...

Good point, make XP too high and people wont work together and may even sabotage teammates. Fun first, right?
I still vote that Talon spawns are limited to 2 or 3 for the whole team.
Right? Gold medals are a piece of cake, but I too suffer from Inferior Partner Syndrome. My sister is terrible and I'm going to rage any second on her gameplay lol. But we've dominated. Right now we are stuck at the dreaded Dollface boss, specifically the part where she has to stay in the ring.
As for the second race, your partner does NOT have to win the race, just you do. When you enter the arena your partner automatically gets put into the final event.
What I do in races is have my sister damage as many people as she can at the start, freeze some dudes too, then I make her slowly make her way through the checkpoints because if she were to try to race, she'd miss all the checkpoints.
...So today I was playing Battlefield and tried to do a jump with the humvee
I also found out that I am no longer "OK" with the online pass. Took my TM to a friend's house and not only could we not access the online, but even when I logged on to my own account, I was required a pass code. Wtf? It's too bad because he likes it and has gotten used to it, but I cant show him Nuke mode or the thrill of playing with other players.

I saw this in the store yesterday. I didn't know it was out. I went right home to download the demo. There is no demo. I did some research on it. Yeah, stupid all over. I researched the game. Not looking good. I was going to wait for 40$ or below but impressions, reviews, and no demo make this a 20$ or less.
Seriously. No demo? Ugh.

It's the alternate special, just press triangle when selecting the special.

LOL...fucking GOLD!!!
Damn PSN maintenance on weekend! WTH? 200 xp away from Tier 2......SOOOOOOoooo closeeeeeeeee!!
Yeah, weekend Maintenance is such a terrible idea.
Started working on a Mr. Slam skin for RoadBoat, but with PSN down I cannot see what it would look like in-game. So, I'll fine tune it and stuff tomorrow night, perhaps.
Cant you just go into ur download list on the ps store redownload the online pass? Im sure you can.

/facepalm
Why of course, that ought to work.
I'll remember that next time and show him glorious Nuke
Thank you

My problem with Talon isn't that I can't deal with them. My problem is that it's no damn fun to deal with Talon. This isn't Battlefield. TM is a ground based vehicular combat. That's why TM is fun. And what if you're not near a school or church? You're dead. So then don't go out in the wide open when Talon's around? Exactly. Just another reason why Talon always ruins the fun.
The Talon icon would be a nice addition. Though all that said my biggest gripe are the auto mega guns Talon and Sweet Bot have. Fix that and all is well. Either their mega guns shouldn't auto track me on the ground, or my mega guns should be able to auto track them into the air. (Not bitter at all...)

Well put. Talon is no fun to deal with, and if they are on the other team I'm stuck spending the match dealing with him.
Needs to be some balancing, either in limiting the spawns, or something

imo that trophy should read "Log on to the Twisted Metal online servers on 30 different days". Would really take some of the pressure off while still serving the same purpose.
