If there is a sequel I hope it doesn't take itself too seriously because of upper management.

If there is a sequel I hope it's a different setting and characters, along with a different inspiration. I don't see how a direct sequel to a game like this would work. It was as good as it was because it's so fresh and unique.

I don't think I'm going to get this headshot achievement since there's no way to know which ones I've already gotten.

God bless RedBox mirite?
On topic: I thought it was the funniest real world commentary when (joke spoilers)
they started talking about video games and violence at the end of the dam. The cognitive dissonance such an over the top game still thumbing its nose at alarmists was awesome. Failing to understand our capacity for kindness!

Not sure if it was posted already, but what is the name of the song in the credits and where can I find it? It was really cheesy but in a good way.

This game deserves a standing ovation. Well done Ubisoft and team, well done.

I didn't realize the credits would be 40 minutes long.

My god just finished the game and holy shit what a ride! It's clear the developers were 80's babies and put so much love into the game and the music...by god the music is so legit. 10/10 well worth the 1200 space bucks. I would love a sequel but, I'm scared it won't be as good.

But you get to hear the greatest song ever made during the credits.
Every time I start the game, I just have to wait until the menu music is over.
So good...
So good...

Anybody know if this is actually available anywhere? Possibly UK only or something?
Already bought the game on steam but I would probably buy that for the poster and soundtrack CD if I can find one. Probably give the key away to someone if its redeemable on uplay

OMFG that last sequence was absolutely amazing hahaha! When that song started playing, when the stairs lit up, it was like a fucking time warp back to the late 80's. Such a great game haha.

Playing this game reminded me how I hate FC3s shooting.
Reading this thread should answer your question easily. In fact, you better have realized that and already beat the game by now.

Finished earlier. Sooo good!!!
Loved the
Only regret:
Feels so fresh compared to so many other games (which is ironic, no?)
Loved the
training montage and love scene! And when he accidentally blew up the scientist with the laser lol. Yes! No! Yes! No no no no!
Only regret:
no final boss makes me sadface. Riding the hilarious talking dragon just about makes up for it though I guess

more fun than most full priced retail games this year, i assure you.
I'm going to wrap things up today. I'm up to the final mission myself.
I read the spoiler tags about the
lack of a final boss
When the credits start to roll listen to the most awesome song you will ever hear and when it's done skip the rest because it's like 20 min of credits lol

Beautiful!
The
training montage
(classic martial arts JCVD flick), "No Retreat, No Surrender" {"Hold on to the Vision" by Kevin Chalfant; for those that will chose the song to incorporate into their personal workout music playlists}.
The other reason to buy the game is just to experience the last hour of gameplay, and sit through the credits music. Kudos to peeps who get thrown back into the 80's after both those specific music selections at the end start up.
Raaaadical! 80s style man!
Thanks guys so close to buying this today. Totally going to. Seems like some mindless old skool FPS shooting fun. Like, fun... you remember when games were fun?
What is it 1200? Totally there? Hell Im there for 1600 but I thought I saw 1200 yesterday ..?

Finally started today, so many great cheesy one liners.
"Sure he can't? Shuriken." after a shuriken takedown had me physically cringing and shaking my head while laughing at the same time, such an incredible moment.

That's exactly the type of fun it felt like to me. For once the hype is so true, it might even still be understating it. Hope you enjoy

Have you gotten all the collectibles? Because usually where there's a collectible there are some stash boxes sitting around with money in them.
Balboa

Yeah I've already collected everything
there might be one or two boxes left to pilfer but I doubt it's worth the effort to find them, could be anywhere!Neuromancer

Weird... I can't imagine how you could have collected everything, done all quests and still not had enough money to upgrade everything. That sucks.
I got in a similar situation. Maybe I wasted too much money replenishing my ammo. At least taking out the squads of enemies is fun, so pilfering isn't too much of a chore.

Such a beautiful game. Only way to top it with a sequel would be TIME TRAVEL or setting it in Miami.
Also, LOVED the final moments of the game. Just perfect.

This game is just too good. I saved a scientist and a tiger came out of nowhere and mauled him a few seconds later.

Yeah I ran into the same problem. Spent too much on ammo and flak jacket. I needed 2 more pistol parts but $30 a corpse and $8 a hunt just ain't cutting it. I guess this is where I stop playing. Good times though.
I had no issues with making money after the game was over but I also had $15k+ after i was done.... ran around and found more crates, I thought i was thorough but after the game there seemed to be no shortage of them. i found chaining melee attacks a quick way to make money since you don't have to pilfer afterwards.

Finished it this past weekend. So good. I love that for the licensed songs they went to the bottom of the list.

Spending too much on ammo and armor, methinks. Killing dragons gives you solid monies though. Look for dragons and collectibles, kill everything in between, you should be able to max out still. Go on foot if you're not already, helps you run over more randomly hidden stuff.
Side question: I'm feeling like pilferable boxes might be respawning randomly for me now that I've finished the game? Or did I just miss this many on my play through.

Finished it yesterday, bloody marvelous game. I had a great time and i'm now tempted to play Far Cry 3.
I'm completely happy with the ending and the last few scenes, loved the setting and art direction. It's a great labour of love. I pretty much expected it to be a nostalgia overload when i knew Dean Evans was Creative Director. Legendary 8-bit guru.
If there is a sequel i hope they do something different, they could easily drag this out and cheapen the experience if they keep the sequel the same. As it stands it's a breath of fresh air in neon and i'm perfectly happy with that.
I only missed one vehicle, grrrrrrrr!

It's too hard. Both are mind blowing.

Well I beat this and I like the killstar
Also, only after completing it did I realize the main character's run is the T-1000 run.

The killstar hand laser beam is the absolute best weapon I have ever seen, I get a huge chuckle out of whirling it up and ripping enemy waves into blue clouds of cyber death.
However I really do wish the pistol wasn't such shit, this thing should have been single shot and very heavy hitting with the option for a triple shot modification. As it is now the pistol feels really underwhelming.

Not that I'm aware of. It does get repetitive, but it's a small price to pay for an awesome game.
