The nano rifle is all sorts of awesome

cool breeze · « **Reply #65 on:** June 05, 2009, 04:15:49 PM »

single player is pretty boring, at least most of the side missions are. The side missions in saints row were awesome, but most of these just suck. The only good one is when they give a weapon load out and tell you to destroy something in a time limit. The rest are boring escort missions, defend this, attack that, make sure red dots on radar are gone, drive vehicle from here to here.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #66 on:** June 05, 2009, 04:22:39 PM »

I'm starting to tire a bit of the formula. Destruction is fun enough, but the actual combat is both infuriating and dull, and the EDF is just a Shai-Gen clone through and through. I'm having the most fun just driving a mined vehicle through a building and blowing it up, but that's only fun for so long. The nano rifle makes long distance deconstruction possible, so that's a plus. Another plus is that the world they have created feels plausible, in all its Mars craziness.

When do I get the next walker? I just cleared Dust, and I'm roaming around Oasis right now.

cool breeze · « **Reply #67 on:** June 05, 2009, 04:40:14 PM »

I'm in Oasis but I don't have the nano rifle. Where did you get that?

I only tried out two walkers so far. The big one and the one that can jump.

Taking a break from Single Player in MP is the way to go. I haveb't touched the Single Player is days. I agree it gets a little old

single player sucks? guess i will send this back then.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #70 on:** June 06, 2009, 01:54:04 AM »

Two hours later, and I still haven't seen another mech. God damn it, this game is going back.

cool breeze · « **Reply #71 on:** June 06, 2009, 11:48:28 PM »

Finished single player and didn't like it. I think there was supposed to be story or something pieces together all these boring missions, but I already forgot it.

Multiplayer beta and demo were great so I know the multiplayer is also great. Another case of CoD4.

Draft · « **Reply #72 on:** June 07, 2009, 12:39:24 AM »

Multi in this game is out of control.

I've spent maybe 30 minutes in single player.

looking for a multiplayer boost partner. let me know

bork · « **Reply #74 on:** June 08, 2009, 03:01:48 AM »

Yeah, the multi is great -tough- but great! It's definitely got CoD4 syndrome with having to level up to unlock stuff, too. I like the big 14-player match types, but it takes a bit of time before you can even unlock that play type, whatsupwiththat?

GilloD · « **Reply #75 on:** June 08, 2009, 10:28:55 AM »

Late-game single player stuff rules. Stickw ith it until Eos. Multi is still where it's at.

Draft · « **Reply #76 on:** June 08, 2009, 12:24:48 PM »

While I love this game, and I mean love, I suck at it so bad.

My worthless, weak thumbs are completely incapable of aiming with any sort of accuracy or consistency. It drives me nuts. I get owned left and right by dudes I should have killed, but didn't because these worthless sausages can't push a stick in any sort of useful fashion.

I had that problem a LOT early on. I eventually learned some shit: Create an environment where you own the space. I.E.: If you've got the double barreled shotgun, don't go running around open areas. Hang out in tight spaces. Don't play to someone else's strengths. Also, PACKS. Use them. Love them. 90% if you got fucked by some dude you should have gone 1 to 1 with, it's because he has a Firepower pack. Carry a variety of weapons, swap early and swap often.

Yeah. The packs are killer.

Rhino is an obvious choice for favorite, but I think Thrust is really my preferred pack. There's just something awesome about having a super jump and a but stomp.

when is this coming out on PC?

multiplayer is awesome, but I can't aim for shit in the big open levels.

chronovore · « **Reply #84 on:** June 08, 2009, 10:50:48 PM »

If Saints Row 2 is any indication, the engine will run like crap on a PC that runs Crysis admirably. Check the reviews extensively before committing to a purchase.

demi · « **Reply #85 on:** June 08, 2009, 11:06:07 PM »

destruction master missions are garbage too. how does a half gone building not count as destroyed. fuck this game

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #86 on:** June 08, 2009, 11:24:57 PM »

hahaha, this game is great

sometimes it's a little hard to tell the difference between your guerilla brethren and the edf dookieheads, though

oh well, can't make a revolution without breaking a few heads

cool breeze · « **Reply #87 on:** June 08, 2009, 11:27:19 PM »

I'm 100% sure that Volition played Mario Sunshine and was like "let's do that, but make it better and destroy things in the process."

the trust pack is so awesome

demi · « **Reply #88 on:** June 08, 2009, 11:32:21 PM »

srsly has anyone beat the Dust demo mission with 9 rockets under pro time. i'm about to break my own wall

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #89 on:** June 08, 2009, 11:48:51 PM »

after i did one timed building destruction i said to myself "well, that's enough of that."

do you have to do any more, or are they all optional

demi · « **Reply #90 on:** June 09, 2009, 12:02:12 AM »

they're optional. i finally did it though. yay

cool breeze · « **Reply #91 on:** June 09, 2009, 12:10:17 AM »

all the destruction missions are really quick and easily with the exception of one in the last area. That one seems impossible.

demi · « **Reply #92 on:** June 09, 2009, 12:24:05 AM »

you got every one under pro time? im not just going for completion - anyone can do that

cool breeze · « **Reply #93 on:** June 09, 2009, 12:59:37 AM »

well, good luck with that. If you're having a hard time now, just wait until the later ones.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #94 on:** June 09, 2009, 01:21:02 AM »

yeah, fuck this shit, you can get stuck in the environment way too easily

that's incredibly frustrating, to get stuck in a crevice underneath a vehicle with no way out

demi · « **Reply #95 on:** June 09, 2009, 01:31:34 AM »

i love when i'm about to do a mission, they call in like "OH HEY glad we caught ya. listen there's a convoy want to go blow it up? it's only half way across the map. away from where you should be."

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #99 on:** June 09, 2009, 06:57:39 PM »

Those are some of the best missions in the game since they're essentially just big puzzles. The worst part of the game is trying to do the transporter missions in pro time. Those are very frustrating, tedious, and time-consuming.

installing this game does shit for the long loading times you will deal with when retrying over and over

Yeah, but at least it eliminates the dirty disc errors that I'm starting to get more and more often on my shitty 360.

You know, I absolutely love this game, but it's annoying how long it takes to save and load anything, especially coming off of inFamous, a game that handled saving, loading, and checkpoints better than any other open world game I've ever played.

demi · « **Reply #103 on:** June 11, 2009, 02:18:35 AM »

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it feels so good to do a transporter within 5 tenths of a second.

Fuck those missions. I've already decided that I'm not going after that achievement because those missions just aren't fun to me. In contrast, I fucking love trying to beat the pro times in the demo missions and I only have four of those left for the achievement. We can do some multiplayer sometime if you want. I spent a couple hours playing random dudes and working on some achievements with a friend and it's really, really awesome.

i've beaten the game, got every collectable, etc. i just need 5 more guerilla missions. but they are convoy/radio missions. theres no set way to get those to spawn. i could be looking at hours of just sitting around.
