    Some dude joined me game. It said he had cheats enabled and everything else was going to have cheats. So, I just closed the game.

    Standard practice?

    Pretty much. Just turn off random joining. That's what I did, and I never looked back. "Hey! some guy's going to make it impossible to earn achievements for you. Is that okay? Too bad."

    Also, while the prison crib doesn't have a boat or helipad garage, there's always a Shark down by the dock at the rear of the prison (by the tunnels) and a police chopper way on the far end. Although how you got there without either a boat or a flying machine is a mystery...

    Pretty much. If he's got cheats enabled, it'll corrupt your game as well, even if you don't have them on to start with.

    Also, can we preorder now on steam? If yes, after next check, it is so bought.

    Also. I am on some Ronin mission chasing Master Wong and part of it requires you to run through a fire and take damage to chase off the Ronin.

    That shit is amazing.

    Is that the Junk mission?

    If so, there are multiple ways around the fire. But running through it is more baller.

    Yeah it was "One man's junk..." into the Coup De Grace video.

    That was fucking AMAZING.

    God, DAMN. I don't know if I have felt as badass as seeing the Boss call Wong to kill Akuji.

    Shit.

    Or they'll be non-cheat cheat codes, like the bonuses from 2.

    I sincerely hope so. Taking the time to talk about and highlight a feature such as the man cannon and then making it a pre-order exclusive is just a terrible dick move.

    However, I just bought the Prison Crib (fully expecting a sub game where I have to destroy the jail, or something).

    Only to find out the fucking thing doesn't come with a helipad or a boat garage?

    Bad decision, Volition.

    Adding both a boat and heli garage at the prison was one of the earliest things I fixed for the PC version.

    I thought that one just had a mounted flamethrower that came out of the cigarette in his mouth.

    Assuming the garages work the way they do in SR2, theoretically, anyone who misses out on the preorder for whatever reason could join a co-op game with someone who did, steal a Manapult, then park it in their garage and have it forever and ever.

    But that's if they work as they do in SR2.
