Thats for the PS3. I think the 360 patch will be next week but so far the reports are that people on the ps3 with the camera issue is still there and it's not fixed.

Wait and see i guess.

 

[boydsno1]

Just checked and the patch is up on the 360. Gonna try it out now.

**** ubisoft. It still doesn't work. I aint restarting and replaying over 20hrs.

Reading the forum the problem still lies there for everyone.

Time to trade in this shit now.

Delete the game data but keep your save file.

Then re-install.

Late to the party but I picked this up on Sat morning with a forgotten JB voucher. Just wow, this is without doubt the best game ive played. I went to a house warming during the day had quite a few lagers and thought "looking forward to hitting this tonight", watched the Tomic vs Fed game with the missus, smashed a pizza and started at 10:30.......after a bit thought it was time for another refreshment and it was 4:30am!!!........completely lost track of time.

Ive just pulled off the Medusa mission and realised Ive still only got one gun slot and to unlock more I need to top some goats, Ive been smashed by a shark, a leopard.......a ****ing Casowary out of all things but cant find any goats, anyone know?

There are goats near the very first radio tower just outside the first town, IIRC.

Weird thing about the Casowary. A few of them mauled me right when I first started. Since the opening 20 minutes though, never saw any ever again.

 

[Cory]

You're probably not in cassowary area.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Don't play a lot of games but this is one of the only games along with Half-Life 2 and RE4 that I've had the patience to finish. Amazing.

You didn't go kill that yellow necked cassowary?

Possibly? Was it a story mission or hunting one? I never did any of the hunting jobs.

 

[Cory]

It's a hunting one.

It's the hunting one. What getting them done does, is allow you to upgrade your items to the fullest capacity.


In other news, there's free co-op DLC available from the PS Store. 'High Tides' gives you a new mission to play and 4 new skins. It's 212MB.

Who's up for co-oping it?

 

[Lance Uppercut]

well, I just finished it....

Spoiler

I went the bad-ass ending. Was pretty pleased when I got to **** her. Not so when the bitch stabbed me! Will have to go back and see what people have said about the "good" ending. Bloody tried to save it when it was clear the choice was coming, wouldn't mind trying the good ending. Ah well, sure I can YouTube it.

Sick ass game

Thanks mate appreciate it.

Hit it again last night, having all sorts of fun. Another question, Im trying to unlock another radio tower but once i get to the top I cant open to transmitter box or even grab the loot, the "interact" button does not even appear, is there some sort of order the towers have to be activated in? It was fine for the first couple.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

such an epic ending with the helicopter

no there's no order and I never had an issue, but I remember someone saying earlier in the thread this seems to be a bug. Maybe try googling it
