I was playing this morning, was going to go online and it froze.

i just killed playboy

So i tried reloading my save and guess what, it doesn't load, i waited and waited incase it did, but it definately had died.

I decided to start again after that and have been playing non stop for the last 7-8 hours, and it just froze the ps, and yet again i have lost my save.

I am not a happy bunny. -_-

Can someone tell me if you can have more than one "single" player game saved at one time, on the 360. So multiple people can play the single player mode without them completing missions on my save. I hope that makes sense because it's pretty hard to word :s

Anyone know if using cheats actually doesn?t effect your game % when you've completed it..? Got to 45% now but i want to be able to use the Armour cheat as its annoying keep going to the store...

I'd like to know too, I was at a friends when he typed in the Armour/Health cheat and it popped up saying it has blocked achievements. Does this mean for the rest of the game or whilst you are attempting to complete an achievement? For example completing 10 combat battles in 4 minutes, if I had used the health cheat earlier int he game but not during these ten kills would I get the achievement? Same applies for surviving 5 minutes on a 6 star wanted level and using the ''decrease wanted level'' cheat.

They both will affect you getting achievements. Not sure if they will affect you getting 100%, but if your going for achievements, not going to happen. There's one or two that won't affect a couple of achievements, but most do.

I'm beginning to wonder why it is getting such high scores, after playing it since release I've had freezes, been stuck at the loading screen, failed missions because of dumb AI, smacked into rubble that appeared by magic, the controls on foot feel clunky and the cover system doesn't feel right. I could go on but I'll only get shot down :p

Sure GTA IV is a good game but I think "hype" is contributing to these review scores.

My Xbox 360 is currently broken (freezing problem). According to Xbox tech support, it's going to cost me $110 CAD to get it fixed. I'm tempted to get it fixed and buy GTA IV. My question is, would it be worth $110 + $59.99 just for GTA IV? I've read reviews all over the place and I constantly see good things. It even got a 10/10 on IGN & Gamespot.

I kind of agree. The controls can sometimes drive me insane... Trying to climb down a ladder never seems to work for me. Once I pressed Y to go down, but instead of getting on the ladder Niko decided to run in a circle and fall off down the hole (it was on top of a crane) which killed me :p I was not happy.

Finally Got a Copy. My Local Tescos got 2 copies in for the 360 and I managed to snag one.

I have been playing it all day and am very impressed.

The driving took a while to get the hang of, but I think I have it sussed now.

The only thing I don't really like is the effect they have used on anything more than a few feet from you. It's looks like a painting. (I think this has been covered to death in a different thread)

Spent most of my playing time going on rampages and playing online. Only got to the part where you meet Brucie in single player

I think you've just been unlucky. The controls aren't perfect, and the AI isn't always Einstein, but for me the good defiantly out weighs the bad.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
