Ive heard rumors of 15 hours but I bet that is on normal. I am playing on hard and I think its going to take me around 20 hours. Theres no indication of how far I am but after a 4-5 hours of playing I dont feel like I have made it very far. There is also a lot of side quests and I have been doing most of them which has slowed my progression through the main story
The one other thing that is bothering me is that I still cant find an overworld map. So it is hard to gauge how much of the world I have seen. If anyone else thats playing has found a full map please let me know where it is
I think the only other thing I will mention is the save system. Frankly it sucks!

you are 100% right!
the save system is just EPIC FAIL! it happened to me three times already.
forgot to save and wasted 15 to 30 minutes . this just sucks! i hate games with that kind of save system!
and the other thing like you said, the map! where the hell is it??
in such a huge game? wtf??!!
besides that the game is realy fun and graphics are one of the best on consoles
ya right now the map isnt hugely important because theres only so many places to go but I am started doing missions heading away fromwellspring and I can see the world opening up a lot more really soon. Ive been working all weekend so my play time has been limited. Im off the next 2 days though so I will get a bunch of play time in. maybe a map become available later in the game. I sure hope so...
texture poping and aliasing. Apart for that GFX are very nice.
60 FPS is awesome. Makes for precise gun and driving controls. I really like the feel of the shooting using iron sights. I had that monocular but sold it back as lost iron sight capability wtf? Would have though I could unequip it?
As stated above the save sucks. I wasted 20 -30 min of game play twice repeating progress
Anyone else seeing bugs? I had the shotgun in my hand animation go crazy. AI walking in circles, dead bodies twitching out. And saw some weird GFX glitch on a door if I span around quickly.
shit! it happened again!
got to the first boss and saved before him (that super huge monster) after i killed him, i played for 20 min and died
and now i need to play through that boss again! why the fuck the game cant auto save after some big events?
I was thinking about getting this game for my PS3. What is so bad about the save system, how does it work?
It has infrequent check points during a mission / level. You have to manually go to options / save. But in the heat of battle you tend to forget to do this, and if you die you can really suffer. I died fucking about rambo style and blew myself up, forgot to save and had to repeat 20 - 30 min to complete the task. You can adapt of course, but it would be nicer if it was more nanny like. Could be a problem when drinking brews
Graphics
for a 360 game they are some of the best. the enviroments are colorful and very detailed. The overworld is a little bland atleast in the first few hours I have played but the towns and enemy enviroments quite detailed and have a lot to see and do. The only problem I have with the graphics is the constant texture popping. When you turn quickly you will notice the close up texture are really low res and then after a second they shows the high res version.
Gameplay
The gun combat is quick and fun. the enemies are tough and smart. they realize when they are getting beat and will retreat to find better cover. There animaitons are really fluid. They remind me of how players move in madden. they react really well to your gun fire. The gadgets and fun as well. the wingblades or whatever its called are really cool. The driving is ok. seems a little floaty but it works fairly well. most of the missions are fun and quick. nothing really long. overall the gameplay reminds me a lot of borderlands
Presentation
The story and world are great. This is prob the best part of the game. the characters you talk to are very believable. The story has a lot of backing and it really feels like what could be a real future.
Other stuff
I think the only other thing I will mention is the save system. Frankly it sucks! Its my biggest annoyance with the game. It autosaves between loading screen but that's it. So if you enter a level and play 90% forget to manually save and die you get sent all the way back to the beginning. Plus in some missions you are not allowed to save! Luckily the levels arent too huge but it can be frustrating to lose 15-20 minutes of progress. Or have to play through 4 levels of Mutant Bash TV to be beat by the boss and then have to go back through the first 4 levels again to get another chance at him. The option to save during this section is turned off so you have to repeat a lot of work. Its like they ripped the save system out of a 6 year old game and just jammed it into this game. I don't expect a auto save every time I kill an enemy but at least save between sections of a level.
well thats all I can think of. if you have questions, feel free to ask me.
thanks! sounds great!
Any estimates on the length already?
And if theres no xgd3 rls, when i get up tomorrow ill go berserk
BTW hargabyte, do you know how to swap discs in this game?
how to do it in this game on JTAG?
As far as I know, FreeStyleDash should do this automatically. If it doesn't try moving each disc into its own folder, perhaps something like this:
Code:
/hdd1/content/0000000000000000/425307EC/00007000/disc1/
/hdd1/content/0000000000000000/425307EC/00007000/disc2/
etc.
You can always substitute USB0/1 for the hdd1 of course. And, don't forget, that you could always use any path you want, just be sure that it is set in your, "paths," section in the options in FSD. Hope this helps!
edit: If it doesn't work, you may need to find the plugin for FSD RC2.1. I believe the filename is: freestyledashplugin.xex

ohh and if you want a basic explanation on the save system. the game auto saves during load screens. which only happens when you enter / exit a city or enemy base/building. sometimes not even then. some smaller building can just be walked into with no load screen. The only other time is when you race as you enter and exit races other than that it is up to the player to save on their own. just get it in your head and keep remembering to save all the time. I hate to HAVE to do it but i constantly save now. luckily saving is really quick

back on topic, im sure we'll get the rest of the XGD3 games today now that the 0800 ripping FW is out there.
hehe, you should see my living room
but yeah should probably hit sometime today.
So to sum the "reviews" here up so far, its a good game and deffo playthrough, but nothing groundbreaking or amazing. Am I getting the right drift here?
the games isnt out yet.
And those people who got the game might not know how to make new 0800 rips. just play gow3 for now:D
