Re: Sunset Overdrive

Only played for about an hour yesterday. I had a grin on my face for that entire hour though. Really fun game.

Re: Sunset Overdrive

Campaign should be at least 2 player coop like dead rising. That's my only complaint so far.

Yup. That would be great.

Re: Sunset Overdrive

I must be missing something very simple, but I am about 40 minutes into the game and just got to the

, and I cannot figure out how to equip a different Mele weapon.

In the character screen I only see how you can equip your ranged weapons, amps, traps, etc.

Can anyone let me know how to do this?

I think you just press B to melee.

Re: Sunset Overdrive

You have to buy a different melee weapon.

I just unlocked the air burst or whatever it is called. At least I think I just unlocked it. Just got a prompt on my screen saying to hit rb while in the air. I hope I didn't have it unlocked right away and just didn't know it because it is really awesome.

I got a hammer or something for my preorder bonus and then at one point it said to open the menu to equip the hammer, but I can't find out how to do that, I am still swinging that crowbar around.

Re: Sunset Overdrive

You change your melee weapon at the same place that you purchase clothing. Progress further along the storyline if you haven't been told about the clothing yet as it's part of a story mission.

Re: Sunset Overdrive

Almost picked this up at at Walmart yesterday but didn't because I'm getting COD Monday

But I sold so stuff today so I'm thinking about going and getting it.

Is it a game that will keep your attention for a while? Or is it a short but fun ride kinda game? (Giddy)

Re: Sunset Overdrive

It's keeping my attention. I probably have like 10 hours of play time. I find myself just traversing the environment a lot. It's so much fun. Reminds me of playing tony hawk once you get good at it it becomes a blast.

There is multiplayer too. So it's not like it's campaign only.

Re: Sunset Overdrive

I got my white SO bundle Tuesday. I will say I was a little underwhelmed at the game initially, both visually and gameplay-wise - visually mainly because of the XB1's issue with crushed blacks which I resolved making some input changes.

Gameplay-wise I think you have to get at least a few hours in before you can begin to start appreciating the ability to traverse the city and get a handle on the controls. Guessing I'm only maybe 5hrs or so in but the game has been a blast so far and it's gotten progressively more enjoyable to play. Really like the Jet Set Radio/fighting zombies feel. I'm anxious to open up more of the weapons in the game; curious to see if it's like Ratchet and Clank where there are a ton of cool weapons to unlock and use in whatever fashion you choose.

Also really like the customization aspect to the game. Initially I created a character that looked more like me but I immediately realized it didn't feel quite right with the game world; so I changed it so the character is more appropriate for the world without being too over the top silly. But it's cool you can go to any extreme you want from a customization standpoint. Very very good game imo.

Re: Sunset Overdrive

Have given it a go but it isn't really my type of game. Love the look of it and I appreciate the idea and creativity of it but don't quite like the constantly moving nature of the play. It's kind of like being a weaponised pinball bouncing and darting and rushing in all directions all the time.

Re: Sunset Overdrive

No love in this thread. Picked this up earlier this week, having a lot of fun. Jokes are hit or miss but there's some good humor in there. Reminds me of an American version of JSR, aka with cursing and guns
