Ahh my god, riding on flying gas tanks is a blast(literally), whenever your on the gas tank and it explodes, you sometimes are stuck it free-fall(it's not a glitch it's like your knocked out) and you can't use your parachute or anything, thus resulting in your death.

There are good places to base jump right? That's one thing I really, really want to do.

Well, where you spawn, in the very beginning of the demo, do you know where that building is with the medkit? well go there, and there's a bunch of gas tanks, shoot one, then grapple on it RIGHT before it's about to launch, and it'll take you up pretty high, it may take a few tries to get on the gas tank, but it's worth it, and make sure you let go before it explodes.


Note: it doesn't track how long you've been in the air though.


EDIT: I thought you were asking for places, well yeah in the full game there's really tall sky scraqers in different places.

It's really fun, the grapple hook is pretty awesome. The first thing I did was jump on an enemy jeep's hood, shoot its occupants, hijack it, and drive it off a cliff. But judging by the graphics it shouldn't be a vista/7 only game.

Played a bit of the demo on the 360. Some graphical issues. Whenever there are explosions or I use the grappling hook there's like blue triangles...

I'm really enjoying the demo. It's huge for what it is, and 30 minute intervals are more than enough for me. Of course, I have played the Mercenaries 2 and Red Faction Guerrilla demos for hours...

The game itself seems pretty decent. I might buy it used for my PS3.

Why did they make a sequal? The first one was painful to play, it was probably the worst 3D game ever. Why?

Because it's fun to jump off cliffs, sky dive and land on someone's jeep and stealing it?

How about you play the game and then make a judgement. Kthxbai.

Wow. This is probably the most genuinely FUN game I've played in a long time. I smiled and laughed for practically 30 minutes (plus however much bonus time I got). Some memorable things:

- My first try at parachuting. I forgot to press space again and slide, face first, down a long hill.
- Riding on top of a car and looking behind me. Just as I'm about to grapple onto the car behind me, my car careens off the road and into a building, blowing up and sending me flying.
- Choosing to escape on a propane tank rather than in the helicopter. I call it "style".
- Having the "cops" chase me and seeing if I could get them to drive off a cliff. It worked. Parachuting at the last second gave me a perfect view of the two motorcyclists chasing after my empty jeep.
- Tethering an innocent lady to the back of my car and swinging her into a building.

Just, wow. I could play the demo all night.

The graphics seemed really smooth, but I think I was playing a little higher quality than I should have. I don't think I was pulling in a smooth 30fps, and if the action got heavy for too long, I lagged really bad. The only issue seemed that you couldn't ACTUALLY change the graphical settings mid-game, at least I didn't notice any difference.

Either way, I'm really looking forward to when this comes out.

Also, there's a bell tower with a grenade launcher in it and if you grapple the bell, it falls and busts through all the floors. IT WAS AWESOME!

Also, tethering a motorcycle to your jeep and driving it into a gas station is rewarding lol.

*snip*


Are you talking about the Xbox or PC version? I ofund the PC version to be a little weird, like the controls are kinda clunky. I haven't got the chance to try the Xbox one yet, maybe a joystick will feel better.

One thing that surprised me is that I was running the game at Very High settings with 4x AA and 16 AF. I can't even run Oblivion at a good framerate with 2xAA and medium settings!

PC version. It took me a little bit to get used to the controls, but I bumped the X and Y sensitivity up to 70 and kept smoothing off and it felt fine. During my second playthrough, I base jumped off the radar tower for a good 7 or 8 seconds (it seemed), floated peacefully over to the cranes, grappled onto one, blew it up, jumped off while it was collapsing, and para-grappled (I'm coining that phrase) away. I wouldn't have been able to do that, but after like 45 minutes or more, I got comfortable enough with the controls.

Just play it some more.

Lol. I took the helicopter to the top...but it's "Out of Bounds", so you're better off failing. I was probably 50 yards from the peak when I got the "Leaving Demo Area". It was the saddest part of the demo, too, cause I basically wasted a minute and a half doing it.

I'll probably pick this game up eventually for the PC once I upgrade to 7 or just rent it.

I'm gonna get a CPU and GPU upgrade soon (after tax returns?) and I won't even think about this game before then lol. I wanna be able to record my crazy antics and playing on low low low, recording dropped me to 15fps (Fraps was at 30fps, half screen).
