I love how you solve problems in this game.
Kick to the head! Seems to work.

Ravenlock · 08-16-2012, 09:01 AM

I only got about an hour into this last night, but between this and Darksiders II it's a hell of a good week for big games. Both very solid productions that deserve my time and dollars.

Yeah. This reminds me of two years ago when Castlevania: LOS and Enslaved came out. Which one do I chose.... er both.

Hm. My solution is to break their legs.

The leg-break action is very effective, I must agree.

crazyD · 08-16-2012, 12:09 PM

I love the leg break move so much. I use it on just about every character I can possibly grapple. It is awesome to see everyone else nearby wince. I can't wait to unlock arm break.

IT IS THE GREATEST.

I'm also a fan of my recently unlocked stun attack. Now, after I break their legs, I snap kick them in their face for GREAT VICTORY.

Damn, I really need to get in on this. Too bad I'm gonna be out of town the next few days.

Do you have a copy of the game? I'm hoping you try my version vehicle anger management.

SilentScreams · 08-16-2012, 07:04 PM

It's currently 2am, and instead of sleeping I am installing the high res texture pack for this game and I'm staying up to play it.

Crittias · 08-16-2012, 09:55 PM

Anyone else as infatuated with the soundtrack as I am? There are some good tunes in this game.

EDIT: Youtube links to most, if not all, of the soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...C8B462D30B6517

Xerxes · 08-16-2012, 10:24 PM

I think in the other thread I thought it was middling and wish RZA scored some of it. But that was just me. I think someone else said they really could have got behind that. I've only played a little over an hour though. Been jumping back in forth between this and Darksiders.

You see after Wei headbutted the Crowfather, Death rode down Hong Kong in his Triad Enforcer looking to even the score with some old Chinese mobsters.

Holy shit, you're following the same story line as me!

Golden.

I keep saying I'll start one and stick with it, but then I find myself playing the other.

My solution is usually throwing dudes over 20ft railings in slo-mo as they scream to their deaths. I'm a skilled negotiator.

crazyD · 08-17-2012, 11:45 AM

I'm a little disappointed in arm break. I still use it at least once per fight, but I prefer leg break.

Anyone else realize that if you wheelie a motorcycle into oncoming traffic and run headfirst into a car, you will use that car as a ramp and do a massive jump? Found that one out on accident.

Your ancestors called. They disown you.

Why is New Game the first option when you boot it up? Dumb. I'm CONTINUING!!!!

This is about the biggest complaint I have, otherwise the fun factor is 88 flying bicycle kicks.

The open world aspects (skybox, weather, AI) + driving isn't nearly as solid as GTA IV, but the combat, story and side-missions are way more fun. Too bad I've been wasting so much time on the tertiary activities, I'm nearly maxed out and have barely touched the main story.
