STOP, MORTTIME
The bike races are kind of irritating because you can come to a dead stop and get stuck facing a wall if you so much as brush an ant's toenail, but the AI will recover instantly from all wrecks and probably come zooming past at the last second after hanging back the whole race.

Sorry if it's already been answered but why can't I change the advanced graph settings? It just keeps flipping back to the default value. This is karma punishing me for buying this game from a shady hongkong version of green man gaming.

Game runs fine, but I need me some custom settin's.

I accidentally called the Valet to send along my Bismarck while I was biking around, and it turns out that the Valet trying to deliver your car while you are both going full speed down a freeway is very similar to the Valet trying to run you off the road.

They really are the best. Just made a dozen of them for lunch today. Easier to find at a supermarket (frozen) if you're in Canada, dunno about in the States that isn't California though.

You can make your own, they're not the most complicated things. Google some Baozi recipes, or one of the dozen different variations. I'm partial to the ones with hardboiled egg in them. So good.

Crappy Chinese Buffets are so crappy, and yet so good. You're eating it going "Ugh, why am I eating this?", but those chicken balls and wonton soup are calling your name. You go to the bathroom that doesn't look like it was cleaned since the building was constructed, and you think "gently caress, why am I here?". But you head back to your seat and on the way you see a young boy about 11 refilling the steam tray with a giant pile of salty, peppery shrimp, and you walk that much faster to get your plate and get back to the buffet.

You get home and have the worlds most magnificent dump, all while sweating pure MSG. Later as you drift off to sleep, your partner says "Hey hon, where should we eat tomorrow?". You silently roll over, lock eyes, and you both realize that visions of greasy little sesame pork balls are dancing in front of you.

They've got you, and there's no getting away.

If the signs ingame are to be believed, the ones you buy from vendors are usually these, they are of the fried variety. There is also a BBQ pork bun that some of the ambient NPCs sometimes bring up, but that is steamed (or baked). The latter you probably have to find a bakery (only the baked variety) and the steamed you are better off finding a dim sum place.

Also now I am very hungry.

edit: ^^^ Chinese buffets, even the good ones in Toronto can't match real Cantonese cuisine from even a relatively decent restaurant. Then again, I suppose it's not fair that Chinese buffets serve Chinese-(North)American food instead. Most of it I don't really like.

Why is it that when I get to high speeds in this game, the camera becomes really stiff and doesn't move fluidly at all? It gets pretty awkward, and that seems weird for a game that otherwise has a decent amount of polish.

Also, I'm still full from dinner but now I'm craving Chinese :munch:

I swear every goddamn line out of his mouth makes me want to punch him....probably because every single line out of his goddamn mouth is "Hey, you want to gently caress a starlet?" I'm not even kidding. If Wei asks him a question, he'll find a way to make his response include something about loving women.

If you set the graphics level in the main menu to something other than "custom", it will always return to those pre-defined settings. Make sure it's custom and your settings should stick.

Also make sure your game is up to date (v1.4). There was a bug in the earlier versions, so sometimes the game wouldn't save the settings properly.

Grab them, walk up to the back of a car (doesn't work on all cars, but most of them should be fine) and wiggle around until the option to stuff them in the trunk using the grab key appears (you can't miss the message). The same thing works for smacking someone's head with a car door.

Let me introduce myself, I'm a social disease.
I wish the random groups of thugs you find around the city were bigger. Sometimes I just want to go on rear end kicking sprees for no reason and I need more than 3 guys to beat on. Drug busts are nice but once you've kicked all those guys asses they're gone. Fight Clubs are pretty cool but I'd really just love to look for gangs to take on while cruising on my motorcycle. Even better if they were totally randomized weapon/enemy type wise.

This is the easiest game in the world to 100%. The only thing that's giving me trouble is topping off my triad level, which I can only do by replaying missions and trying to score higher.
