Eh? GMG keys were already handed out, my friend got his last night at least.

hmm, wonder whats going on there.

I probably won't have it til tomorrow or the next day or sommat with my connection.

There are plenty of people without keys, like me. Their forums keep crashing from people voicing their displeasure.

Where's the HD texture pack on Steam? When I click on the DLC page, I only get "There is no downloadable content available for this game.".

edit: Never mind. It was region locked. When logged on with a US VPN connection to unlock the game a bit earlier, the hd resolution pack was available under dlc page.

Kinda stupid to region lock a free DLC on Steam, especially when the game itself isn't locked to the region :/

Played this baby for about six hours straight. The only thing that stopped me, was this happening: http://i.imgur.com/jwYNo.jpg

Restarting the game I found out there's an 1.3gb patch avaible, so hopefully that it will fix that.

But other than that, I have no complaints. Game is extremely good, with nice story, solid gameplay and nice visuals to come with that. Enjoying it far more than I enjoyed GTA IV and its expansions.

Is it me, or is the hand to hand combat initially really damn hard? I just started playing the game, and I am on the first real mission after being shown your apartment where you have to fight some Dogeyes or whatever they are called at some Warehouse, and seriously I just keep dying. Was I supposed to do other missions prior to taking on the real mission?

Also have to say it is really messing me up driving on the other side of the road. :laugh:

So far really digging it though.

Just an update, I was just a little impatient with the hand to hand combat. Settled down a bit, and took out the guys pretty easily.

Really is a pretty damn good game overall. My one and only complaint so far is the draw distance does not seem to be the greatest, but wondering if this is just how the consoles can handle the game itself.

It sure will be.

The only open world game I've ever seen on a console with good draw distance is Just Cause 2, but that's because it's very simple in regards to "towns/cities".

I think Infamous' draw distance is pretty good overall.

Honestly this may in fact be the worst draw distance I have seen on an open world game ever. It does not totally ruin the experience, but does break it some.

I still have problems with the drug dealers, but that's it. So I run them over with my car before engaging hand to hand :rofl:

I'm quite pleased with the experience I've had after a few hours of gaming, I've gotten easier into it than I got into GTA IV, which took quite a while.

I like the fighting quite a lot especially the enviromental takedowns, the only let down so far is the driving. The handling isn't feeling as good as it could have, but I'm getting used to it.

Im playing it on the PS3 and it's an amazing game like you said, and yes the driving isnt the best, I also found the camera while driving does some weird things too.

I've finally sat down and had a proper session on the game and i just love it. I'm really enjoying the story, although i've been pre-occupied with side missions. The way it is going, it is going to get much worse for Wei i think.

I've finally got to grips with the melee combat. Once you learn the types of fighter, you get along with it much easier as you plan how to attack someone. Running and throwing someone off a bridge/cliff never gets old.

I agree with everyone on above, the driving is a bit naff. The driving reminds me of Saints Row.

I also really like when you complete a certain mission it can sometimes unlock collectibles on the map. At the moment i have the locations for Jade Statues and health shrines.

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Samsung messages is still alive and well. They reversed that and decided to our more effort into it.
    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
