Just skipped like 1000 posts so I'm not sure if this has been brought up countless times. The 360 version of this game is no where. Like literally no retail copies... in California, unless you preordered. I was in Vegas over the weekend and I really am regretting not taking a look.

GameStop guys say they have been getting hammered by phone calls throughout the day for atleast a week. Apparently there was a batch that came in and they flew off the shelf within an hour. eBay prices are getting spectacular.

I'm thisclose to buying a ps3.

So after having a spendable cash pile of about 5 million, does anyone else think they should add some more cash sinks such as a vending machine sort of thing that gives you a random card for about 100k or so? Because as of now it doesn't feel like there is much to do with your money.

The idea is that you'll be able to invest in the safehouse. At least once they make it customizable.

I believe it's explicitly stated in the safehouse mission that you can use your spending money to upgrade the safehouse. I've yet to see a source saying otherwise.

Run Projob Bank Heist, it's the same speed as a regular Bank Heist and gives 600-700k+ spending cash, about ~450k if you're unlucky and get the spawn where the van doors don't open.

Say what you will about Ukrainian speedruns, but I really enjoy the thought of this manager guy sitting in his office chair at the back of a jewelery store, when suddenly a bunch of dudes in bulletproof vests charge into the room, completely ignore him and everybody else, slap a brick of C4 on the safe next to his desk, blow it up immediately, and bounce out in seconds before anybody even knows what the gently caress is going on.

Yeah, I see a lot of ECM jammers, too. I don't know. I think people that put points in ghost at all just do it to hit lower-tiered abilities like bagging corpses. I see many, many more technicians and enforcers than I do ghosts. This is just my personal experience, of course.

Pub Overkill Framing Frames. I dunno why I tried.

We're on Day 3. We got the gold, everyone was hype as we were on our way out, the alarm went off. Whatever, we didn't mind; Our setup was a stealth tech and ghost with a pair of Heavy enforcers, one on the camera, another with a silenced crosskill to give cover.

We were doing great and cheering as the assault was almost over, even though only an enforcer and Ghost were left. The Enforcer covered the ghost and he goes down to a Bulldozer. Almost there.

Those are Heavy SWAT. Any guards/police can cuff you if they completely catch you off guard, but these assholes can just sweep through and detain you if they want to rush in and you're not actively blasting their faces off.

fortocero posted:

I've had guards get alerted by a cuffed guard in the bathroom (Framing Frames Day 1). Maybe the bathroom is one of the few areas where the alert system is working as intended?

Also top 3 payday moments so far:
1) While going alone to retrieve info from the gangsters in Rats, I enter the room and immediately all the gangsters pull out guns and start shooting. Having never been betrayed before, I panic and smash through the nearest window and jump out of a multi-story building. Miraculously I don't get downed and somehow landed in between 3 other teammates, proceed to clear out the entire level of gangsters and cops.

2) While stealthing Framing Frames day 1, our team manages to alert 3 guards in 2 separate rooms at once (they had line of sight on each other). Like something out of a John Woo movie, the other goons on the roof come crashing in through the skylights and we somehow manage to take out all 3 guards, answer all the pagers, and knock out a camera overlooking the whole thing in the span of a few seconds. Only time I've ever managed to salvage that many alerted guards and still managed to stealth the whole level.

3) Last day of Big Oil, the whole team not being sure which engine was the right one, we ended up taking 3 engines to the airstrip. The first two engines we put in didn't work, so at this point we're all low on ammo and health and just trying to survive to pop the last engine in. All four of us go down during a wave, and I figure its over so I shoot off a couple random shots with my Deagle while waiting to retry. All of a sudden I'm back up on my feet, and I realize that I had just unlocked pistol messiah earlier. I manage to lug the last engine to the plane, rez a teammate and escape successfully.

This game rules.

With how nuts things can get, this game really has a good amount of great oh-poo poo moments. I think my favorite so far was managing to toss a bag into the van while I was downed and everyone was down around me except one dude hiding behind the van. We all get put into custody and immediately have mission success as the dude is in the escape zone and at least one bag is in the van. Was a lovely bank heist but no one thought we were making it out alive on that one.

edit: My second favorite payday moment was a pubbie explaining exactly what the plan was for a jewelry store heist, including everybody's roles. Within ten seconds of the heist starting, he ends up getting handcuffed and the cops get called.

I had terrible luck with mask drops and then between levels 40 and 50 I started getting them all the time. I'm level 52 now and have all mask slots filled.

True, but I assume minimum settings means "the general powerfulness of this card is at our minimum settings." I mean, it would be like saying "you need a 100 hp engine to drive on this road" and then when you show up in your Prius they say, "Oh, no hybrids. You should have known that," even though you exceed their requirements.

The minimum required cards are an Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS and ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT which score way below my Intel HD Graphics 4000 in terms of power. There's no reason why I shouldn't be able to run the game.

Fantastic. It's absolutely crucial if you're doing anything on your own or holding tight chokepoints like in a vault or a tight hallway. It's invaluable in heists like Rats day 1, as evidenced above.

Yes there is. Integrated graphics are weird and handle things weird and no company likes to try to go through the headache of supporting them. With all the problems that pop up regularly with Nvidia and ATI drivers handling Intel would probably be a nightmare.

Then how was I supposed to know that my graphics card wasn't supported? I think it was reasonable to simply see if the card I had was more powerful than the minimum requirements. I had no idea I had to search specifically to see if my card wasn't supported, and it didn't note that anywhere on the product page. I play Defiance, Warframe, and Neverwinter on this with no problems.

I wouldn't be so annoyed by this if there was a way I could get a refund for this game being a complete waste of my money because I can't even play it. I just flushed $30 down the drain.

^^^^^ Steam customer support will usually refund you if you bitch enough, I think.

I will say that this game has been a bit buggy, engine-wise. Twice now I've alt-tabbed back in and had the game drop to 15fps and stay there even after closing and re-opening the game. Had to restart to fix it. Also, the "effects quality" slider that controls the "burning money in the wind" effect on the main screen gave me awful mouse lag even though the framerate was solid.

And one time I ran up some stairs and teleported outside the building, behind the invisible wall on the street in night club. No idea how that happened.
