Yes, X, on "sharp" corners you do (90DEG), on 45DEG corners and radui, it will do it anyway.
Pretty close, I think there's one more story mission left.
the final story mission is frigging amazing, stay through the credits

It only get better too. Early on you rely on grind wires and bounces, then you start working in the swing poles to get up off the ground quickly, then really start to understand wall running.
Now? One of my most used maneuvers is just vaulting over straight edges. Dash right for that straight top of a building/sign and do a leap that transitions into a high jump off a A/C unit really well. Time it right and you can even approach grind wire and instead of going along them you can just use them as a jumping point to get to the other side of a road.
The amount of moves possible in the game is pretty crazy, and as you play more and more you're able to carve out straighter and straighter paths right through the city.
lol, he refers to <<our>> Miles? Quaritch? really?
Mucudadada, say it aint so!
There is just no other way to interpret that. #air

This game was worth getting an Xbox One for. I fucking LOVED it. And i got a white xbox one, to boot!
Well there was a lot about the game that I didn't get on with, the sheer amount of fetch quests for one. Also the constant nods to the player "its a game", "this is what games do" were mildly amusing but a wasted opportunity to subvert expectations and have some fun rather than lampoon something you then do yourself.
Having said that the game has had me playing all week through a couple of quite big, and not so big bugs and on the whole I've enjoyed it. Art style is fantastic, music tends to get old/samey quick but is OK, and the traversal system is compelling and fun. Its kind of like when you unlocked the low gravity cheat in THPS2 and could just relax and chain together combos for ages.
Colourful and cheerful open world game for those long, cold & dark winter nights that doesn't sicken you with innumerable collectables and side quests. I've enjoyed finishing off the story and I'll probably bite on the DLC and Chaos mode stuff now too (and then polish off the last quests/collectables/weapons).
If there's anyone up for Chaos mode (usual UK playing times) feel free to add me, Tag in the profile.

What are some of your Favorite Side Missions? I'm usually not much of a side mission guy, but I finished the story and I want more!

The weapons pack has already been released, and I believe the first story expansion is coming next week.
The Hardcore! side mission is my favorite. It's hilarious.

Not to second guess or question your plans, but it seems debuting the DLC at the TGA might have been a good way to give the game more exposure.
Anyway, really looking forward to seeing the DLC. Come on OD'D spidermonkeys.

MS seems to have skipped the Game Awards entirely, so that probably played a part in that decision.
Ah, the missing dlc was already in my game. I was looking for an outfit but the dlc outfits aren't outfits in the game just some piece of clothing.
And I think I got all the chaos squad clothes.
Now I need to level up the remaining amps. The "screw the fourth wall" amp doesn't have a second level?

What's a killing streak?
I'm trying to do the Buck challenges,and those give a lot of points,but I have no idea ho to get them. I seem to get them at random after killing ODs.

At first I thought this game was pretty boring , but I am now a good chunk into the game and loving it. I have just met
and curious how far I am into the game?

Focus Group. Pretty challenging, especially because you can't really concentrate on the gameplay as you are laughing your ass off the whole time.

Almost at the end of the main story.
There's a lot of great side quests to keep you busy afterwards, though, if you haven't done them already.
Killing enemies without getting hit
There's a hero amo I believe that nulls enemy damage when you get hit every 3 seconds which is perfect for keeping kill streaks

Really ? I feel like i have done all side quests already (blue ones). not including time trials/gun trials e.t.c
Feels like a really short game, or maybe its just gone by really quickly. Also i feel like massive parts of the city have barely been touched.
Last night i spent an hour just grinding everywhere. I love the cityand its various locales.

Is it the consensus that traversal challenge #11 is the hardest challenge(or at least hardest traversal challnege)?
It's nearly impossible

A steal at that price. I came in to this game not knowing anything at all other than seeing a few commercials on TV and it blew me away.
Basically the same. Hopefully the same results!

Finally sinking my teeth in to the game and getting lost in it (in a good way). Only thing is I suck at Chaos Squad. Somehow I'm always the last person to the new mission even though I have airdash lol.
So, I'm grinding up all my weapons now and trying to get enough Overdrive to buy the rest of the maps (also, I have fat stacks of cash and nothing to buy with it).
It's really a lot of fun to level up weapons here, so that's a nice little bonus.
Still can't hit that Downtown chaos squad cheev though. I've had enough chaos once, but we failed horridly.

I guess tomorrow's Sunset TV will probably need its own thread tomorrow.
DLC you'll be playing soon. And it's really, really good.

Some retail outlets sell XB1 season passes. Amazon and Gamestop have it, for instance, but I've never season a discount.

Yeah, I'm hyped.
I think those are usually just currency codes with the season pass branding.
