Nope everything is in USD, I have to convert the right amount before putting it on my debit card.

Well it must svck to be you then. But I don't see how steam gets off charging over 100 NZD for one game, especially when it's only half that, even in euros.

It mostly works out okay, JC2 was only 64 NZ dollars, but will probably retail for $100.

I just got a message from MCM confirming that the grapple will be stronger in the full game, here's the message:


"The demo is not taken from the final game, so there are obviously some subtle differences here and there. The grapple isn't upgradeable, but does tend to snap a lot more in the demo than in the final game appearing to be weaker.

I think everyone will be pleased with the final game."


P.S. MCM(mycoldman) is an admin on the Eidos forum.

I really need to upgrade to 7. I want to play the PC version.... Although I'll probably wait until the game goes on sale or something.

It's just one game, and I mean you do own a 360. :shrug:

Personally, I'm not going to upgrade to 7 until there are at least a handful of PC exclusive games I want that can't run on XP, and so far that's only Shattered Horizons and Just Cause 2. Not enough to warrant an expensive upgrade imo.

The graphics on console aren't that bad anyway, but on pc they're amazing.

EDIT: But graphics don't change gameplay.

Yep and if your university/polytech is a registered microsoft acadamy you can get an evalutaion copy (don't be fooled by the name, its a full OEM copy) free of charge. Thats how I got my XP, Vista 32 and 64, and soon 7 32 and 64.
Just ask your tutors if you can get one, it's only usually for the IT departments though.

You have to earn enough chaos then your PDA will pop up and say "black market unlocked"

Then you press down on the d-pad then aim at where you want your package to land then press Y.

Finally found a glitch to get rid of the timer, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJkKATSjoY8

I've tried it myself and it works like a charm.


It was recorded on xbox 360 and the guys says it works on pc and ps3 too.


*Note* To get rid of the timer warning make your hud opacity 0 or enter a mission or get 100% on a base/village.

Thanks. It's "Call beacon" which isn't helpful when you're looking for "Black Market" lol.

So I found my first big "bug". I grappled onto a bell in a bell tower, which causes it to fall and is glorious. Well, I ungrappled as it was falling and something screwed up...I ended up inbetween the two floors that the bell was supposed to break through. I had a grenade launcher and that didn't do anything. I guess that however I ungrappled caused the bell to not have enough momentum or something to break the floor and the game decided I was far enough down and glitched me through lol.

I just dropped a couple grenades and blew myself up. In the demo, it's no big deal, but I could see that being upsetting in the full game.

Nuuuuuu! I did an awesome base jump off of that one radio tower, I fell for 537 meters. Seconds after, I was soaring across the land towards the cranes when my friend messaged me on Steam and the game crashed (I'm assuming it was because he sent three messages in rapid succession). :( But I haven't been able to recreate that jump since...

Well, the island is restricted, but it's, I think something like 30 some odd square miles.

It's really big. Takes almost a minute to fly across in a plane. The whole game is like 400+ square miles.

4 helicopters and 1 airplane... I've heard people say there's 2 planes but I can't confirm or deny that.

EDIT: One of them that has no guns on it you can get using the black market, another is close to the spawn, near the radio tower, and you can find the same one on top of the mansion. The 3rd is sent by the enemies when they get air support, so you'll have to hijack it, and the fourth is at the top left corner of the map at a military base.


The airplane is where the racing mission is, it's close to the mansion.

I found a spy car. It is cool and black and sometimes it spawns with a turret on it. If you look in the north half of the map, you will see two 4 way intersections with no villages. The one farthest west I think, has a gas station, and parked behind it is the spy car. It is awesome because it has infinite ammo, is very fast, and blows up other cars quickly.

OK thanks. I've seen a plane flying around before so maybe there is two. :shrug:
