Has anyone else used the multiple rope option in Bolopatch and had issues getting the grapple to fire again once you are attached to something already?

I wish you could buy the cargo-chopper on the black market. I found that the gunship you can buy can't lift a Panay statue head for poo poo. I was stuck 20-30 feet off the ground with the head rolling around crushing everything and getting stuck on police jeeps. This was awesome and irritating at the same time. I also discovered that the smaller police patrol boats fit PERFECTLY on top of those little cargo junks the locals drive around if you ramp them just right. It leads to the civilian clipping through your police boat and bitching while he ferries you around. Eventually, my new ferryman got so sick of it that he got us stuck on a sandbar, stretched, jumped out, and drowned himself.

A few months ago I was excited about parachutes coming to GTAIV. Needless to say, I'm not excited about that anymore, because it would be impossible to top the madness of Just Cause 2.

MMAgCh posted:Only a very small one, at X:9145 Y:11425. Still, between shooting out tyres and grapple-attaching sports cars travelling at high speeds to bridges and such it is good fun! This is really cool. I hope the race cars respawn  And that reminds me, another thing this game is missing is an island-wide street rally against AI. That would be a blast (and take forever to complete) (but be a blast) (literally, since you would rig the road ahead of time with remote mines).

Well I dunno why but I fully upgraded the 2h-shotgun. I had it at 5 stars and I had 27 weapon parts. Other say to upgrade the launcher but it's really circumstantial when I use the launcher, and I always pick up my trusty MG after I fire maybe 2-3 rounds. Hell, I fully upgraded triggered explosives and I just use those for show but once they're done I almost never buy them again unless a mission's circumstance calls for them. I have a pistol and launcher at 3 stars, and grenade launcher and sniper rifle at one. Probably others I'm missing. Does levelling up the launcher give it laser-guided missiles? Cause I've seen enemies do it, but I can't =(

I love triggered explosives, it was the first thing I upgraded to max. My favorite tactic when taking settlements is to grab all the pickups, place explosives on what needs destroying, then start 'chuting off into the sunset while laughing maniacally and detonating when I'm far out of range of being fired upon. If they're guarding a propaganda trailer or something I'll chuck one down while swinging over it, by the time they start shooting back I'm nearly out of range. I sometimes use a similar tactic when attacking a military base. I'll sneak around, throwing explosives on whatever I can until I get discovered, at which point I can blow up half their base in one go. ok it's really more like 3 things max because you'll get spotted in under 20 seconds probably but it stills feels cool I finally upgraded the machine gun to max and good loving god it is a monster. I don't even bother aiming for headshots any more, 3-4 bodyshots is enough to take down most elites. It does more damage to vehicles than the gatling gun you can carry around. I don't know if I'll ever need the assault rifle again.

The best part about besieging an enemy base is that you can do it while parachuting around and never touch the ground. I'll just do passbys and throw triggered explosives down and zip away. It's such a beautiful sight.

Yeah, I also love the way the game automatically arcs your throws for you. You don't need to pause and estimate distances and angles. Just point at where you want the explosion to go, and there it goes.

SR2 was pretty cool, but it just wasn't an insane, playable action movie. It seems that games are fun again when we take the sentiment of "gently caress Realism". Now all we need to do is mod JC2's gameplay habits into San Andreas, with the cars and music of Vice City.

So I took a look at the list of achievements, and how in the hell is it that a full 10% of people who bought this game didn't complete the first mission? The only way that's possible is if they bought the game and then proceeded to never install or play it.

Gonna guess people bought it without thinking that it won't work on XP. Though it's not terribly exciting, everyone needs to get a moped and grapple someone to it. Pretty drat funny driving slower than people walk dragging some crying soldier behind you.

I did that, sort of. I kept trying to steal a motorbike and every time I grappled onto something with two wheels, it was a moped. I finally lost my patience and decided to punish someone for not having a motorbike by driving down the highway trailing them behind me.

Thanks to whoever told/reminded me that you could fire while pulling on a grapple. I grappled up to a water tower and saw a sniper laser-sighting me. Cue me whipping out my Sawed-off and blasting his brain batter all over the red water tower behind him--a second before landing on the water tower. In-transit kills

Just look up any game with Steam achievements - it's the same story or worse all over the place. I think the saddest was Aquaria, where only something like 75% of people who bought it ever got past the tutorial.

Watching the video I'm not sure though. Every vehicle seems to have a single grapple point, I don't know if it's possible to find another spot on the balloon that will keep the basket level upon being towed.

Playing the 360 version, and this game just does not want me to get any drag kills. I'll attach a soldier and drive off, and the wire ting will always snap before he dies. The only drag kill I have counted for me so far was when I ended up sandwiching the soldier during a head-on collison with another military car. Is there some trick to drag kills that I'm just not doing?

Has anyone else noticed how fantastic this game sounds? I recently bought a pair of Turtle Beach x41 headphones, because I got tired of having the TV volume down absurdly low to keep from waking everyone in the house up when I do some late-night gaming. An amazing piece of technology, they do 7.1 DD surround sound around your head (if you do an optical audio out from the Xbox to the headphone receiver). Apart from just how much clearer everything sounds when it's right in your ear, and the fact that I can have the volume up as loud as I want now, and not bother anyone, I've started to notice little things in the games I play that I never noticed before. Anyone with surround sound can attest to how awesome it is to hear vehicles driving down the road in the distance, or hearing explosions and gunfire going off left, right and to the rear. But I experienced the most incredible thing the other night. I had just evaded some army guys, and ditched my getaway vehicle in the jungle, high-tailing it toward a beach. I stopped for a minute to look out over the water, watching for a boat I could hijack. And that's when it happened. The "you're in trouble" music died down and stopped, and the game's natural ambient sounds came on in full force. The waves lapping up on the beach, the sand swishing under Rico's feet as he ran, the wind blowing over the water...I'm sure this sounds cool on regular surround sound speakers, but with the headphones I could practically have sworn that I was actually standing around on a tropical beach, with water splashing on my right, and birds calling behind me. As ridiculously nerdy as it probably makes me sound, I'm not ashamed to say I had to stop playing for a few minutes just so I could close my eyes and listen to that for a bit. I am completely sold on these headphones, and the wonders of over-the-ears digital surround sound. Good heavens, that was an incredible thing. And then I went and hijacked a plane to jihad into a military base's fuel tanks, and that sounded pretty rad, too
