Anyone else finding the combat horrendous on pc ? like its the worst thing ive ever seen in my life camera twitching about non stop the controls just seem to stop working in fights for me, and its very sluggish.

Do steam do refunds

I wasn't happy with the combat. You just need to learn the different opponents and how to attack them using different combos and grapples. I died quite a few times in my early fights but now since I've learnt how to fight, I've actually won two fight clubs (the 6th rounds are crazy v 10 people).

I'm also using a 360 controller and works wonders... makes driving and fighting so much easier for me (shooting also quite manageable).

I dont have a controller its a pain in the backside tbh, controlling cars is easier than moving around on foot =/

Anyone know an easy way to get a ps3 controller working on a pc ?

What a game! Having a blast tearing around the city. Fighting is way more challenging than the earlier vids showed and im learning class moves. The graphics in the rain are unreal.

Anyone having problems on the social club? Says im the only person on my friends list but I saw other people on my list playing it.

I remember when it started raining for the first time.
I thought it looked amazing.....

Then I continued beating the crap out of the guy beside me.

I actually hated the cars at the beginning but then i got some Class B cars and now I 'm actually looking out for races to test my driving. Love drifting perfectly around a bend in the rain! Also Class A cars go fricking mental fast!.

Also I used to used to hate chase missions in GTA as too hard to shoot and drive etc but in this game they are actually fun though its quite tricky to press, LT, RB and LB to drive, aim and shoot

Also sheehy83 my social club is working fine, thought it was broken but one of my friends just bought and hes showing up on the challenges. Maybe it needs a restart? Does the global list work for you?

Feck sake. Went to Xtravision earlier to get this and they didn't have it.

They had the cases out on display, but when I went to the counter I was told they won't have it until next week but ''they have to leave the cases on display.''

Why?! It's teasing people!

Those pics are class man. Ya the global list works on my social hub, will try again this morning. I love the driving. I think they nailed it. Camera on the bikes can b wonky but driving those super bikes is a great laugh. Pulling a wheelie to ramp over cars is class too.

Ah feck was going in today to pick it up , is this game really that much under the radar mainstream wise? I just assumed because it is all over the internets there was a decent amount of interest. If you find it anywhere let me know.

Is there anyway to store cars you hijack? Sick of losing the nice ones and I've barely any HK to my name to buy new ones, not to mention that I'm still on Face Lvl 1.

I'm going to be majorly disappointed if there isn't...

Thought I saw Wei using a garage in one of the GP demos...

You can only store cars that you have bought.

I think it's a fair compromise between Saints Row's "Steal anything you want and then its yours" and GTA's "Car ownership? What's that?"

Sephiroth_dude

I just got a pistol

Zero-Cool

I didn't even shoot a pistol yet, only 12% of the game completed. Whats everyones favourite combat moves?

I find myself going for the grapple and leg break making all the guys around wince. That and the class wall vault although it can get a bit glitchy. Anyone who hasn;t tried it, in a fight press x facing a wall and then press square to kick off it to do a mad spinning kick.

Sephiroth_dude

Ok I don't seem to have the pistol now anymore

But with GTA you can keep cars you steal. Part of what I like about free-roam games like that is finding a rare car and storing it in my Garage and taking out for a leisurely cruise now and then.

But I guess I'll live without it.

Only weapon I've used so far is a tire iron, and that was to destroy a car. Love the fact they made Wei a weapon himself. Some of the moves are brutal, like the jump off the wall spin kick. Which is class by the way
