This release looks like a NTSC rip.. has anyone tried it on a PAL Box yet to see if there are any "issues" with it.
I know you can use video switch, but i wish to avoid using that for the moment


No issues at all . i hate using enigma and have trouble with most ntsc games . This one works fine though Smile

Lovely lovely. I am looking forward to this. I could not get hold of the demo anywhere but i am getting the release now. I have seen some of the videos on gamespot where the testers are showing off the game and it looked amazing, though i couldnt tell if the graphics were any good. I hope they are Smile But from reading the reviews I get the impression this game has something that 95% of the games dont nowadays; PLAYABILITY!

In regards to the PAL / NTSC issue, that is great, the sharpness of the picture is effected when you play NTSC (using video switch) on a PAL xbox and tele.
So in this case, everything should be fine Very Happy

fucking ace of clubs contract, i've played the fucking mission 2000 times, last two times i made it pretty fucking far, but fucking friendlies have been shooting me and my chopper down!... i'm starting to wonder if it's a bug or something, cause they down all enemy aircrafts aswell.. without any warning what so ever.

Honk the horn to let the friendlies know that it is you, even if you are in a hostile vehicle..

I had a bit of a dilemma on one of the early missions. I knocked out the Three of Clubs and bunged him into a jeep and sped off with his guards following me. I then crashed and landed in a river where I consequently died, since you take damage if your body is fully submerged in water (a bit like Vice City), which sucks since the guy is supposed to be a tough nut! I then respawned and drove back to the location only to see him still on the riverbed. Now realistically if I you had been knocked unconcious and driven into a river you would either be awake and swimming to survive or you would be dead but this guy was still knocked out! At least I think he was since, the mission would have ended if he was dead, right? I waded in to try and get him but just ended up dead and respawning. Er a bug? I tried gunning him down from the waters edge and although I was hitting him, he just would not die. In the end I had to reload an earlier save lol.

There are a few bugs mate, but they dont seem too bad. Irritating yes, but worth putting up with, well, yes Razz

Judging by the clubs I'd say mostly from driving around. There were about 4 or 5 that you had to get through missions and of course the Ace is always a mission.

jupp, got it now.

i thought that once the ace was taken down there would be a mapchange? but i guess not.

another anoying thing that happened was when i accidently killed one from the deck, but didnt feel like replaying. so now one of the cards is crossed out. Rolling Eyes

It doesn't matter if you kill them, unless you're really desperate for the money.

I find about half my targets from driving around, and half from the intelligence give to me after missions. Except of course the ones who you capture as part of a mission.

yeah i know, but when the whole deck is with bars and one of them has a red cross on it, its like a thorn in my eye. my mistake for pressing x instead of y when i was going to capture him. i thought i missed the guy when i hit the x button first time, so i did it again. ;/

lol also at times when i drive around the gfx remind me of fable. must be the bloom. Wink

I wish there were some bigger clashes between the factions when you're out in the world, it's cool to see some vehicles having some small battles, but it would have been cool to see small forces marching on other bases, I mean you have all the guards standing around, it would be cool to see some unscripted random battles going on aside from the small skirmishes on the roads.

Still enjoying the game though, have run into a few hiccups, but this game, as everyone else is saying, is extremely well done. Two thumbs up from me.

Thats it, i'm bored. I've killed the first guy and now am free to roam, but wherever I go, nothing interesting is happening.

All there is to do is these bloody races which to be honest, are boring.

Can someone please give me some advice as I just don't know what to do with this game, i don't know how I'm meant to move the story foreward... i'm totally lost and its gotten boring as hell.

Thanks

go to a flag (fraction) marked on the map. they will give you a mission which will lock up another mission, and on you go. Smile

LOL. Comeone, it's obvious.

Just check your PDA ffs.

sTo0z, I have actually seen some pretty huge battles before. It was when I was going for one of the lesser clubs near the allies base. The allies were fighting the NK forces, with about 6 hummers, 2 tanks and about 50 men. It was extremely cool, but by the time the battle was won (with my help) only a few men were left. Smile

How far are you? Maybe there are some larger battles further on in the game, although they're probably scripted to happen.

When you get to the second map are you free to go back to the first one anytime? Or do you get stuck in the second one?
