maybe i'm missing something but why can't you buy clothes at the clothing shops. there is never anyone in the booths. won't let me browse. maybe it's the wrong time of day or something but there is no sign or anything. also there is no way of waiting in game to pass time as far as i know (besides sleeping in apt).

Thanks. This is the first time I pre-ordered something through Steam and want to play it RIGHT NOW. It's absurd that I have to resort to these drastic measures to play a videogame in the first place, but it's better than waiting until Friday.
Tried to stop a purse snatcher and the cop arrested me for tackling him.

Well, I just grabbed two shots I had. There are certainly dingy back alleys, docks, etc. Large diversity in areas. For example, the drug busts I've been doing have been behind the stairwells at pedestrian overpasses with guys pissing in corners.
But again, I've never been so I can't speak to whether it captures it. It feels like an authentic city, just questionable whether that is HK.

Yup. I'm playing at 1680x1050 and those Screenshots are scaled to 1280x800 for size considerations. Plus, I got the free high res textures pack on. Still, with all on, I'm getting 50 fps solid on my GTX 570.

It has separate save files so I'd say yes. Not sure if the profiles are different, but when starting a new game, only warning is about the autosave.

There are only some clothing stores you can buy from. If they don't have the [...] symbol above them, you can't buy. That said, not everyone with that symbol is on your map. I've already bought a bird and a bed for my place and neither showed up on the minimap. Just gotta watch for the [...].

4 stars.
Navarro digs it. It does seem the side stuff, is kinda meh. Oh well...
Is it hard to lvl up the popo 'skill tree'? It seems like a pain to not cause property damage and what not.

There are specific quests just on police stuff. Drug busts and what not. I'm nearly to level 3 as is, though I imagine it slows as you go.

Bought this without reading many reviews or paying attention to much media. Just on the concept and story. Hope I don't get burned like last time (LA Noire).
This.
I'm away until the 27th but hope the game is fun.
How similar is it to Just Cause 2? I'm getting similar vibes and loved JC2.
Also, does the pc high res version have a date?

Yes. Today. Hi-res texture pack is day one DLC (free).

Anyone still on the fence about this game should check this video out, it's a long but excellent look at the various aspects of the gameplay and PC port quality.
Myself? Hyped as hell to get my hands on it!

I downloaded it at work and forgot to copy the ncf files - is this the reason for this?

I'm getting an "Update paused" at 45% for no reason whatsoever, no matter what I do it does not continue.

Why? Even if it is not super authentic they at least tried. I lived in HK, and am buying it precisely because of that.

You are a good man sir.
That's what it says if you're in a region where it hasn't been released yet.
Try changing download server in the Steam settings.
I hade the same problem with Darksiders 2. With VPN it worked great.
Weird, I had no problems downloading, but maybe there's something wonky with it connecting to the Steam servers.

Can someone with their hands on the 360 version post impressions? Haven't heard much from console users in this thread.
While you wait for replies you might wanna take a look at the previous pages filled with answers to your question.

I'm really digging this game. Everything is excellent.. Story/characters/voice actors/driving
driving is a lot like driver san fran if youve played that.
the atmosphere is top notch as well.. and the city feels unique and very alive

But I'm lazy! Also they're mostly filled with complaints about GMG.

Ok, used exactly the method The Wizard put and it worked like charm, you dont need to touch any configuration or anything, only download the spotflux program and once you run it put on steam again, and the game did the decryption thing, entered the game, entered the dlc section in the menu, entrered steam from ther and could also download the high resolution textures.
Also I had bought Just Cause 2 through steam, and without installing it again, the game already reads you have it and gives you the Rico outfit DLC. So you dont need Just Cause 2 installed for you to get the DLC, only in your steam libraries.
Downloading the textures now. 1 fucking hour still, I hate jazztel.

which build performs better, 360 or ps3?
unbelievable fucking game. i am having so much fun. as for the clothing stores, it turns out the ones in the night market are only open at night. go figure. i'm such an idiot. i really didn't expect the story to be quite this good. i am legitimately intrigued and can't wait to find out where it goes. and i'm only like three or four hours in.
one question though, is there anyway to keep the vehicles you steal? i stole a crotch rocket that i would like to keep but it seems you can't keep them. maybe since you are a cop and all. checked the prices at a chop shop and the cash and face requirements are way too much for me at the moment. i sure hope there is a way to make some killer money later. i would hate to have to grind cock fights for hours or something like that. too bad there isn't some type of mechanic like vice city's where you own stuff and it generates cash. maybe there is and i just haven't found it yet. i don't think there is though. shouldn't you get a salary since you are technically working?

You can access all of your clothes back in your apartment.
I bought the retro pack from Steam just for the hell of it. It's pretty cool. Feels slightly more Cyberpunk.

Only like 2 hours in so far. Haven't touched a main mission besides everything they force you to do at the beginning, and I've only done 1 little helper side mission where I played getaway driver for some random guy out of nowhere. Bikes feel a bit stiff, but most of the smaller cars handle well enough. Hanging out of the door while driving is never going to get old. Fighting felt good and I can confirm that all the footage of people missing counters is because they suck. The tackle + leg sweep moves feel SO MUCH like Bully it brings a tear to my eye. I love those moves.
I'm still touring around the city for now. Can't believe we finally got an open world Hong Kong with this gameplay style. Walking around the bustling marketplace in the rain at 2AM felt....right. I'm SO glad all the climbing and table sliding maneuvers can be used just running around the city. It's a simple thing, but it makes me not dread being on foot like I do in GTA. Everything feels solid so far.

Anyone getting extremely low performance on the PC while driving?
My PC:
Phenom X4 955 3.2 GHZ (OC'd to 3.8)
Sapphire HD 6950
8GB RAM
My benchmarks are in the mid fifties, but while on a motorcycle my framerate is in the mid 20's. 0_o
I even tried setting it the graphics to low and I was still getting 40's to 50's in framerate. I was getting around 60fps all up until the game opened up and you were able to drive your first vehicle.

Was able to reserve my PS3 copy at Redbox and I'm on the way to pick it up.
You can reserve stuff at Redbox?!
