Crackdown

[Gongsun Zan]

So, just beat the game.

Once you're done, it gives you the option to repopulate the entire city with criminals...and damn, there's a lot of them.

Finally got my kill achievements though ^_^

I don't really dislike any skins...but there's no Scottish skin. With a little kilt. It's all I want. I'll just have to make do with the Russian skin (beardy) or the guy with a hideously misfigured face (which pretty much is Scottish). Although...ROBOT AGENT. MUST DESTROY CIVILIANS. MUST TERMINATE GANG LORDS. MUST NAPALM PACIFIC CITY.

And shut up Gongsun, why does Singapore get it early?

Bah, me and my understanding of the English language. When Kraigy says that they suck he doesn't mean that in a bad way.

I am happy now, Crackdown is finally on it's way to me. Fingers crossed it comes on Friday.

I FINALLY DID A BARREL ROLL FUCK YEAH

In other news, a few glitches:

Throwing a body into the ocean gives you the 'Throw Something 200 Feet' Acheivement

Driving on a breakable structure (I did this on a crate) gives you the 6 second jump achievement. Krauser was trying so hard to get this one, and I glitched my way to it

I dunno, maybe it's because I'm early on in this game, but I kinda feel like I'm playing State of Emergency with worse aiming. Please tell me this gets better.

About 2AM this morning:

Me: ellis leave now

Kulex:

Me: WILL CRACKDOWN BE THERE WHEN HE WAKES IN SOME KIND OF NEXT DAY DELIVERY OCCURANCE?

Kulex:

Kulex: no

Kulex:

Me: you may be right

I awake at 10AM and then mere moments later theres a knock at the door. Hello postie, two very obvious Play.com packages for me to sign for? That's odd, I was expecting one by now and it will be my year long XBL subscription but the second one must be....CRACKDOWN?!

It's on like Donkey Kong bitches.

[Buford Ripley]

Bastardo!

Mine is 'oacking' having just placed an order for it yesterday. I can't wait.

I just did my most amazing stunt (well, kinda stunt) so far, it looked like it came straight out of action movie. On my way to kill the first kingpin, i decided id go for the "kill every guard method" first. Anyway, i grab a car outside the villa type building he was in and just drove gung-ho straight through the gates knocking them down. Then there was a large group of gang members i just drove straight into them causing them to dive out of the way, while gang members further up shot at the car and hit an explosive barrel (i assume, i just saw an explosion, may have been a grenade or something) behind me causing an explosion. The car left the ground and was about to crash so i pressed the exit button and the bloke did a load of somersaults out of the car, then shot down a couple of gang members while still in a mid-air.

It doesn't sound amazing, but for something that happened all within the space of 10 seconds it looked so awesome. Had to see it really though to be impressed.

Coincidently, i died about a minute later, so i tried the "run and jump past every gang member and just shoot like hell at the boss" approach that has basically got me through the game so far :/

If anyone wan ts to play hit me up with a message. AngryMidget5

I love this game!

[BlackFlagg]

anyone know how to get to the top of the bank in LM, it's driving me nuts

[King Ellis]

The bank is the first supply point you're meant to go to right?

[BlackFlagg]

yep, and n/m, I got u there...now I don't wanna get back down, heh

[KingOfMyWorld]

Do the damn camera angles not drive anyone else crazy? When you get backed into a corner and it screws them up for me. Maybe I'm just stupid.

All in all, I'm sorry I didn't buy this and only rented it good thing GameFly will let me keep it for a price. Although this way I'm not guaranteed a manual. And I must say, fuck the Halo 3 beta, this game is enough for me to shell out the $60.

Oh and this game I do believe is addictive.

And I must say, there's nothing I hate more than facing a gang boss and being blown out of the building and having to go through the building again.

Who the hell gets backed up into a corner? >.> That's what super jump is there for.

Now that I have Crackdown I'm available for Co-Op'ing with. Just don't kill any of my bosses.

Gamertag is in the gamertag thread.

[Kaney]

I'd best not play with you then

[King Ellis]

He kills your bosses and breaks your mic.

Everyone knows it's Kaney.
