Got all the Face and Cop upgrades now. Only a couple statues left to find, and I think they're in story locked locations.

Yeah i saw one of the ones you are talking about pissed me right off. As it was in some freaking long climbing area took me ages to get to.

This game is great but the combat seems like a poor mans rip off of both batman and yakuza. Once you learn leg break you can basically kill everything in the game in three seconds without even getting hit. Shooting system is equally crap. I do like the car shooting mechanics though its probably the only game i played where i felt i could drive and shoot without doing something stupid eventually.

Grapples in general are overpowered, but it's a fun system.

Moose stop spamming counter, i'm on to you.

Hey, I nearly got the highscore on one of the Arkham City combat challenge rooms. I don't just spam counter.

I quite like the races. The vehicles have very arcade-ey handling and the other racers make a lot of mistakes, so they're not very hard.

My least favourite thing about the game is that every single time you leave a clothes shop the exact same audio clip plays of a guy saying "Takes guts to wear that!".

He says "Cutting edge I like it" if you know how to dress properly.

I just buy whatever clothes are needed for a bonus.

So do I but i make sure what i wear looks good to.

That was a fun final mission but a rather empty ending. Still, I enjoyed the game a lot. If there's ever a complete edition I'll definitely buy it.

Holy shit the credits are still going.

Finally.

This game is great it made me feel that thing that gaming apparently kills.

What?

Pleasure?

Feelings, I genuinely felt bad through a few of the key points they do a really god job of making Wei's guilt pass on to you. I'm a mission or two after the initiation.

Yeah, for story telling in a sandbox environment this is right up there. I'd put it above RDR even.

moose is it really 25 mins of credits?

Yes. But you can skip them.

Ending was pretty crap. The whole game was predictable, but done so well but the ending was just a bit stale. It wasn't satisfying. That said still one of the best sandbox games and i like teh fact gunplay was not a large focus of the game.

this game is getting stale fast for me

I thought it was a lot better than saints row 3 TBH.

are some statues unobtainable without story progress?

Yeah, two or three. One is very early, and one very late.

i got most of the collectibles and now i'm bored of this
