    oh noez my game might lock up maybe

    best not to even play

    Well yeah the real thing holding me back is that I'm about to move since I got a job in a different state, so I'm watching my pennies (lol penis) at the moment. Looking forward to playing this, though.

    the inclusion of Pruitt-Igoe on the soundtrack is really cool, i thought

    it has resulted in listening to a lot of peter glass and then oh hey Koyaanisqatsi was on TV today how about that

    Decided to kill X. First time, after he ran, I jumped right off the building. Second time, I was throwing grenades about killing his guys first, and one went outside on the balcony, BOOM, no more Playboy. Doubt that was supposed to be happen.

    My game's locked up once while loading the bike mission, in about 12 hours of play time.

    Also I would play some multi if I didn't get booted back to single player any time I tried to join a game D:

    Shooting punks in the annihalator is hard son

    I can take out choppers , and I can hit boats, but with cars it is hard to get a good strafe, let alone turn around, and losing your tail is mad fun

    also it goes fast

    also jump out of it at top speed down a long stretch of highway and you just keep on bouncing


    Also: Snow storm was a fun mission, and fairly easy, use cover and blind fire.

    For long range, pop off 2-3 shots with the AK, for short range, use the combat shotgun

    FUCK the sawn-off

    I've been playing for the last three hours and thus far? not enjoying it.

    it feels like GTA3 but with more sluggish controls

    also i fucking hate my contacts thus far. i want to shoot roman in the fucking face.

    You'll get used to the combat controls. They did feel really sluggish at first.

    I don't think the cover is very fluid either. Still... it's not that bad.

    Once the controls click it will be wonderful

    Go do some highway driving, the softer corners etc. will help you get used to evrything

    driving controls you get used to

    it's not like gta 3 and co where you could pull off a quick turn going 90 easy

    and when you do pull of one of those turns in iv it's much more satisfying

    There's a cover system in this game? I haven't encountered it yet.

    I think part of the problem is it feels like I'm still playing through the "tutorial" part of the game but it's not giving me linear guidance on how to proceed and throwing a bunch of contacts and hooks and shit at me before it's even explain that, for example, I can apparently hide behind cover.

    I understand the game is supposed to be all free and sandbox and shit but a little more linear and intuitive structure on what are basically the tutorial missions would be nice.

    Also holy christ I hate Roman so much.

    Yeah, when the game's in tutorial mode, it's not very fun. It gets a lot better after the first major hit.

    Alright say I want to just plow through all this tutorial shit so I can get to the good game

    What should I do? Just ram through Roman's missions? What about Vlad? I also just opened up Jacob as a contact, apparently.

    Also is the multiplayer for this any good? Saint's Row's multiplayer was atrocious.

    also it is very frustrating that you have to hold down A to jog at a decent pace.

    it's making the game feel slower than it actually is.
