i have played a little of this game with the system in my sig, its been fun at the beginning but for some reason when i went to the other side with all the houses, i can see under the houses for some reason like the mountain that the houses are on is not there and i can see throuhg it. whats the problem

I think the game is BUGGY. My system is up to par and plays it smooth but it keeps freezing on me in the same exact spot and it seems to be when I pick up ammo. I thought that it might be my OCing so I turned everything down to stock and it's still doing it. I even used Driver Cleaner to wipe my drivers and then downloaded the Cat 5.10's and it didn't help. Anyone else having problems?

Did you get to the houses or just saw them from the distance?


I saw an occasional black long squarish thing hanging down from the sky....it would quickly go away though and did not affect gameplay.

The other thing is that at the beginning of the game, you can select a narration or no narration. I sellected yes to the narration but heard absolutely no narration as I got to one of those rotating narration balloons on the ground. Did anyone else hear any narration?

I played the game a few times and did some exploring and found some fun things to do.

1. Look for a metal vertical ladder which goes down the side of the cliff..It leads to some goodies. I missed it the first couple times.

2. Look for a path up to a tunnel in the cliff...it also has some goodies.

3. When you first start the game..go in the opposite direction from the old guy and keep swimming out...see what happens.

4. Go out to the old rusty wreck out on the point at the beginning of the game...look around carefully and you can pick up a weapon and some rounds.

5. Pick up a crabpot and present it to the old guy..see what he says.

6. Take the old guys boat hook up the hill with the gravity gun. Take out both guards simultaneously just like you would take out a whale with a speargun.

7. Go cliff diving after you climb down the vertical metal ladder.

After you climb the fence between the courtyard and the deck where the helicopter attacks you, I tried piling up a bunch of junk with the gravity gun so I could get back back into the courtyard but even though I had a mountain of garbage there, the game would not let me back in the courtyard. Oh well.

Enjoy

You need to stand directly in/on those narration balloons and hit your fire button to activate the audio for each balloon. Thanks for the tips Dave!

You aren't SUPPOSED to even go to that side of the map, that's why it is unfinished. You are to climb the vertical path that leads up the cliff to the church above. Its not a game, its a technology preview. You don't even die unless you jump off a cliff.

As stated above, click the dialog baloons and listen to what the demo is about.,

Did you take the elevator back down to the old guy? Jump down to the lower level of the scaffold at the end and walk back towards where you started. Duck thru the x-support and get in the basket.

sgt...I did take the elevator basket back down to the old guy. The game ends itself. How did you avoid ending the game? Where is the X-support?
