I'm also running a 560ti and no problems. It does make my fans wind up pretty high so it's probably pushing your system pretty hard. I know it's the cliche answer but I just blew a ton of dust out of my case and it actually did help my fans from not going to max RPM the entire time, so get a can of compressed air? of course I didn't have artifacting, just loud-rear end fans so that might not help you much.

So I bought the all inclusive DLC pack on steam when it went on sale a few days ago. Now I've maxed out every tree and the RPG elements are gone. Is there anyway at all to disable those dumb DLC? Will every new game I start just have a stupid amount of XP now?

My enjoyment of this game would have been raised by miles if I could just focus on triad missions and never touch a police mission again. Oh well, still a great game.

I started playing Nightmare, and when I get bit I can't get out even if I wiggle the left stick like a demented person. What does it want me to do? Besides not getting bit.

I'm playing the PC version but using a controller. The only prompt I get is "wiggle the left stick left and right", which mostly just causes me to die. But meh, I got past that part without getting bit so whatever.

By the end I was dreading getting into vehicles during the longer missions, because all the crashes would happen when I was driving. It seems to happen to me between transitions as missions end.

Just finished this after getting it on PS+ for free. Holy crap. It's really amazing that this game came out at all, but daaaaaaaaammmnnnn. This is a really good game, lots of action (even for those not into action like me), good cars, good gunplay, martial arts that arent too hard to learn, and something that GTA 4 totally lacked, an interesting story with like-able characters (and cockfighting). I usually don't purchase DLC, but watching the quick look of year of the snake has me thinking...

This game has really fun side-missions and diversions. I love the dramatic music that plays during the cockfights and my favorite side character has to be Calvin and his tendency to stir up poo poo and telling Wei to drive.

Holy poo poo. I just bought this game during the steam summer sale. I just finished the missions where you have to take Johnny the Ratface and Dogeyes to the restaurant. The things people do in this game legitimately make me uncomfortable. Even more so than in Spec Ops: The Line.

I've just found out that the drop kick from doing a three hit combo while under the effects of the drunken master outfit lets you do the rising hit combo more often. Even better, if you stay in face mode while transitioning to a new fight club round, you keep the drunken moves.

Am I crazy, or didn't Wei just plant a bug in that room a handful of missions before this? Seems like a detective participating the brutal vivisection of two dudes would be frowned upon by the police more than his usual undercover hijinks. Or you'd think he'd at least shut the gently caress up while delivering the dudes, instead of basically giving a play-by-play of how he delivered them and that they're getting what they deserve from Winston's mom, followed shortly after by cleaver ka-chunking and ungodly shrieking.

Just beat the main story, and I only ended up at Triad level 9. I know there's a DLC with repeatable Triad missions, but considering the sale is over, I'd like to hold off buying any more DLC until next sale. Is there any reliable way to grind out just a bit more Triad XP?

The best way to get Traid EXP is paying a lot of attention to the health of your enemies with lock-on and use the environmental hazards to finish them off once they're at 1/4 of health. You should also mix up your attacks as often as possible and, even though it sounds dumb, don't buff yourself out with food so that you can get more points out of your attack before your enemies drop.

Just finished up the main game and NiNP today. Pretty fun game overall. In the later part of the main game, with the way Wei was acting I almost expected his character arc to end with him going completely rogue from the police and becoming the Dragon Head of the Sun On Yee. Which I think would have been a pretty cool hook for a sequel. As it was I think this game did a great job letting the player come to their own conclusion the Wei is a bad cop. I feel like most other developers would have been really ham-handed with communicating that idea. Two other really small details that I really liked about the game. One was the ongoing drama between the mom and daughter outside of your North point apartment told entirely through their incidental dialog. The other was from the missions from one of the girls you date early in the game, Tiffany. While doing the mission that leads to stalking her, the whole time I was thinking "Wow I'm a huge rear end in a top hat. I'm dating two other women, but I lose my poo poo because Tiffany is also dating other guys?". Then at the end of that mission Tiffany calls you out on that exact point and make Wei feel like the rear end in a top hat that he is. I was genuinely surprised and happy when the mission ended that way.

Figured it would be in character edit: i do kinda hope another game comes around like this. I am greatly GREATLY enjoying this more than any GTA game. The setting is just so fantastically done and the combat is great

I play this game like I play Saints Row, that is, wearing the goofiest possible clothing I can find. It's especially great during the super serious heated dialog exchanges when Wei is wearing just a luchador mask and boxers or a panama style hat, green wayfarers and bright orange track pants.

I've made a couple posts on the subject before, maybe something here can help: titties posted:I've gotten all three shields on that one. It's easier if you don't have any damage upgrades so the fights last a little longer. Get the Mountain Master triad set before starting the mission and do your best to not kill anyone quickly. Use the environmental attacks for a triad point boost but only after you've countered / tackled / punched the guy first. Same with the leg-break > ninja kill combo. It will get you about 80 points for "heavy attack" and "stun followup" or whatever, but milk those guys for more points first since it's an instant kill. titties posted:I had to replay a few missions to hit Triad level 10 once I beat the game. One thing that helps is to make an effort to slow the pace of combat. Don't wear damage buff items, and use more regular strikes and grapples. titties posted:The climbing elbow is good too, if you like 1-hit stun attacks. Climbing elbow with follow-up stun strike or grapple (used sparingly) earns solid triad points and usually puts me in face mode.

The fun in that mission is not taking pictures of Amanda, the fun in that mission is doing literally anything but. She will just stand there looking like a goof while you walk around doing whatever. Then you can take the worst pictures of all time and she'll still say you've got good composition. The date missions are really funny because you can pretty much be the worst date in the world and the girls will still fall for good old Wei Shen.

I was just using that as a reference point as to where I am in the game. So far every side mission has been fun and rewarding. Most games I'll do a few side missions, get bored and just run straight through the story line.

Oh man I got this during the sale too and this game is bloody great. I'd wanted it for a while but drat I didn't know what I was missing. It's a bit weird that the DLC bops me on up to rank 8 in triad, cop and face after the first mission though :V but I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth while I'm having a blast with the combat system and driving. I somehow wound up in the wrong side of town and did a quest for a car that shoots bullets woo~ Also, sticking dude's faces in fans and other sharp, spinning things on buildings will never not be fun. This game looks great, plays great and I have no clue why I didn't get it earlier.

I haven't really had problems leveling Triad XP. Probably because I started out by filling the bottom half of the tree (thus, no extra striking damage). Cop XP is dumb. Game gives you near unlimited amounts of it, because you can always go do another camera drug bust thing. Any thoughts on clearing out the thugs at drug busts with guns? If you show up swinging, they start shooting and I either die or shoot back and the cops show up.
