?
I certainly didn't have that many issues with that mission. henke, re-evaluate your skills d00d. You're on a controller, I hope!

ITT henke gets owned by Asian AI and I get my interest in this game rekindled.
I guess I should get it... for PS3?

Hey if you have any tips Sulph, don't hold back. I'm playing it on the XBox so yeah I'm on a controller.
Anyway, it's that damn knifedude! Most of the time his attacks are just too fast for me to counter so I end up getting slowly reduced to minced meat if I try to play defensively. Attacking him doesn't seem very effective either since most enemies are very good at blocking, and if I do manage to knock him down all those other guys swarm around me before I can start kicking him while he's down. The tactic I ended up winning with was jumping into the bar area in the middle of the room, and then jumping out over the counter at the knifeguy, thereby not only killing him but also taking his weapon. Once I had the knife in my hands it was time for some murder on the dancefloor. The rest of the guys weren't too difficult.

You gotta lock-on, counter, and put 'em down like the martial arts club tutorial says, that's pretty much it. Usually, I grappled the other mooks and did an environment insta-kill to thin the herd out first.

A notorious carjacker doing ambulance rescue missions?
Or a notorious carjacker selling drugs out of an ice cream truck, or any of the Prawn Island missions, or the Dukes of Hazzard stunt bonuses, etc...

Yeah, that's what I've been trying to do, and most of the time I can't counter fast enough. My reflexes are failing me. :( Luckily I'm just 1 jade statue away from the Disarm Tackle, so that should make dealing with the knifeguys easier.

Did the wedding mission tonight, holy crap. The story is switching into high-gear. And the driving, which felt a bit stiff to start with, I'm really starting to enjoy. The shooting isn't bad either.
Also, the soundtrack? JJ DOOM, Battles, Flying Lotus and an entire channels-worth of Daptone Records stuff? Pretty nice. :cool:

Just wrapped this bad boy up. It was good. Good combat, good driving, good story. The motorbike handling is a bit crap, and some of the kung fu-bits early on were too hard, but otherwise I can't say much bad about it.
I'll probably poke around Hong Kong for a bit more in the post-story mode. Not ready to leave yet. I'll do some drug busts, go shopping for some nice outfits and maybe get a yatch and explore the small islands around Hong Kong. :)
