So I assume everyone is getting it then, on the 360, good because that means we can all have big multiplayer get together and stop thinking everyones a faggot for not playing Mario Kart,Forza,Shadowrun etc with you.

In saying that I probably wont be playing it online at first and try and get SOME idea of the layout of the city. Probably wont last long though and i'll be noobing it up online just for a taster of what the multiplayer offers.

I'll try getting it Tuesday morning, no preorder but i'm sure i'll get it fine..hopfully.

I don't really know that much about the game, been trying to avoid reading anything about it.

So yeah, talk about it!

---

I'll be getting on multiplayer when I get home to a proper connection probably (only next week). I definitely want to get acquainted with the city offline for a while, but the thought of just running around online with someone is positively orgasmic.

As for my copy, I'll be heading to blockbusters on Tuesday at 10am or so to grab my pre-order, to promptly go home and play it and try to ignore the hueg assignment I have to do.

Euphoria is the most entertaining thing ever. That is all

I'm going in tomorrow morning, handing in my Computing coursework, then going to Woolworths or failing that massive Tescos. Then back home on the 9.20 bus.

In other news, in my village the other day a bloke tried to to take somone out by reversing into them, then smashed into a van and tried to escape. Loads of police cars everywhere. You know like in GTA and stuff.

Pro tip: you can now reserve for pickup on the Argos site. 39.99 both versions.

---

Sold out everywhere. WHSmiths, HMV, Blockbuster, Woolworths.

---

I'm downloading the original Deus Ex to console myself. *tear*

---

Got it this morning without any troubles. It's rather funtacular

---

Bad luck Sly. I imagine it'll be restocked fairly quickly.

---

I think the game would probably be a bit better if the driving was less impossible. Other than that it's brilliant though

---

Depends on the car. Adds a bit more skill to the game Imo.

The driving's ace.

---

Finally on Xbox Live. Add me: C3Mike.

Yeah the handling is very...unique. You have to break well before the corners because you pretty much can't turn with the breaks on. or maybe I'm just in sega rally mode.

You definitely see a difference in sports cars, much easier to turn.

it feels amazing weaving through traffic going top speed across one of the suspension bridges.


I've turned brightness and contrast up one notch and saturation up two. Looks much better on my screen now, it's not a very bright one.

---

I had to turn the brightness up about 2 or 3 notches. Perfecto now though.

---

I like teling cab drivers to hurry up, they go mental and run over people sometimes, which looks great in the cinematic camera.

The driving is really hard at first but you get used to it, just dont use the handbreak, ever.

---

The handbreak is awesome for mowing down a load of civilians :P.

---

Crazyfoo, the handbrake is perfect for bends over 90 degrees, including U turns.

---

I just can't used to it I tap and the car just goes fucking crazy!

---

Consolevania reference ahoy:

---

awesome.

BUMMED IN THE GOB.

I hate the new handbraking... It was all I ever used in all the previous games, but now it's pretty much impossible to turn any less than 90 degrees, and even 90's pretty difficult. The fact that you literally can't steer at all when you're braking makes no sense too...

---

You just have to brake before you get to a corner...
