Hold down the exit vehicle button (F? One of the many things I remapped before starting the game.) for a couple seconds.

meStevo · 06-10-2009, 01:49 AM

Yeah, hold down the vehicle enter button (B on the 360 gamepad)

Yes. I have NFC why it was so expensive.

Edit: I understand that im in fucking Canada but theres no means that this game should have cost me 74.99 up front and the 5$ preorder.

Soygen · 06-10-2009, 06:45 AM

Yeah, even in Canadian dollars that is like 6 bucks higher than normal(compared to US cost of 59.99).

So comments from those playing it? Curious as to how you rate it after playing it thus far.

Right away it reminded me of Crackdown, and it pretty much is exactly like it. Spiderman + Crackdown + Morphing arms = Prototype. I havent gotten too far into the game but honestly.. how much deeper can the game get after a couple hours of play? Not very far at all imo.

I also find the targeting to be a piece of shit, half the time i want to target an infected or specific soldier(rocket launcher // strike team) for example.. ill target a civilian, wtf?

Enjoyable i guess but nowhere near the price tag.

meStevo · 06-10-2009, 09:04 AM

The targeting is like Wolverine but worse and you dont have cool abilities (at least at the start) to bounce from one enemy to the other.

Twobit Whore · 06-10-2009, 09:06 AM

Game is pretty damn fun. I haven't had an issue with targetting really. Everything sort of slows down when you do it so you can quickly cycle to the right enemy.

Lots of mindless death and destruction. Powers are really badass and travelling is fun and not that tedious, yet.

Plays perfectly well with a 360 controller.. I couldn't imagine using a KB/M for this style of game.

Hatorade · 06-10-2009, 09:07 AM

More like Spider man II+incredible Hulk. You get to upgrade your abilites and kill shit more effectively. Controls are loose though and yeah the targeting system is complete ass. Still lots of fun and plan to at least beat it once.

Vorph · 06-10-2009, 10:14 AM

My main beefs with the controls are that the camera gets stuck in front of Mercer sometimes and it's a pain in the ass to reorient it, and that he can't strafe at all. Switching to a gamepad doesn't do shit to fix either of those problems, it just makes the camera even worse and I found it to generally be even more annoying to control him compared to kb/m.

I'll probably plow through the main game just to see the story unfold, but I really can't see myself bothering to do any of the side missions other than the consume ones, or looking at the game again after finishing it.

Edit: Is the audio super-quiet for everyone? I have to turn my speaker volume up way past the point where I listen to music (games are usually about half that volume) just to hear anything at all.

first hour playing thoughts:

sickest game ive ever played.
follow the main story to find out your past or just rape civilians and military for EP (evolution points) which u can use to buy upgrades like glide and increased speed etc.
SO MUCH POWERRRRRRRRRRR

controls:
using PC, its fine. targeting is kinda weird it slows time down so you can choose targets more accurately but in terms of "locking on" it takes some manual finesse.

edit: audio is kind of quiet, easily fixable by...turning up the volume. some other people who downloaded it were having trouble with the sound going 10x speed for everything which i assume is the crack or installation problems

Hatorade · 06-10-2009, 01:57 PM

To add to that, the shield+Sprint and a crowded street or sidewalk is endless fun. Just like the hulk but you can cream civilians too, the human surf board of blood and guts if fun as well.

Sean · 06-10-2009, 02:18 PM

Just got back from Gamestop and installing it to my X360's HDD now.

Got a cool Alex Mercer figurine and nice poster with a critical hint location map on the back of it in a tube for pre-ordering.
