I can’t get over how much Tommy sounds like the frog from Meet the Robinsons.

I think I'm over half way through. One level really sucked on classic difficulty where you have to shoot a turret on a moving vehicle while in the back of another moving vehicle. I'm not sure if it was harder than the race but you could sort of learn the race so that was OK in the end.

I haven't changed difficulty but I ended up using the aim assist setting. It's legitimate and apparently doesn't affect trophies but I still feel like a cheat. Not sure if I should leave it on for the rest of the game. I feel like once you've sipped the devil's liquor, you may as well drink the whole bottle.

Beat the race on Classic after about half an hour’s worth of trying. Had to put the colour back on just for the race as it was a bit harder in noir mode. Onto chapter 8 now. This horrific fail I had on the final straight of the race is too good not to share though.

@nessisonett ahh sweet. How do you make GIFs out of videos? Is it a PS thing? I got a vid to share but I playing on Xbox and don't know how to make a gif of it. I've tried sending Vids to myself on WhatsApp and converting them to GIFs as I do it but my phone only saves the MP4 file 😭

I wonder if you'll succumb to aim assist for the same portion as I did. I reckon it is just about possible without but might take some hours.

@RogerRoger I am curious about the normal difficulty and just how different it is. It might be worth a run through for the collectibles but I'm not sure if this is the sort of game I'll do the collectibles on due to length/difficulty/vast amount of them. I only discovered one collectible (the taxidermy fox) on a really recent level so I definitely haven't got them all even though I've been looking around each level a lot.

I just finished the safecracker section anyway, looking forward to making some more progress later today!

@RogerRoger ah fair enough cheers. I have only looked for them in the story bits actually. Haven't bothered getting out of the car too much in the open world segments. It's a bit of a weird one because I don't really consider it an open world game because the narrative is so linear. Even though there is clearly an open world to explore!

@ralphdibny this is exactly how I felt with this game. The open world was truly just window dressing and because the pacing is so tight I just played mission objectives without ever exploring outside of these.

@ralphdibny I normally save videos to Twitter, download the video from there and then use a converter to turn it into a GIF! And yeah, I already have aim assist on. I use it in most third person shooters to be honest.

@R1spam I actually don't think there are any other side quests/objectives to be honest. It's only the collectibles but I don't think they add anything to it

@nessisonett ah ok fair enough, now I feel like less of a cheat as you are in the same boat. Whats the name of the gif converter you use?

@RogerRoger I wish Xbox had a gif converter 😅

Also this game has made me realised why Americans call their car boots "trunks". They literally have trunks strapped to the back of their cars! Also now I'm wondering what they call a car boot sale, unless they just don't have them because they can do yard sales. We'd probably get an officer from the council down if we attempted a "front garden" sale but of course we can just leave it out for the rag and bone man to collect for free

@ralphdibny I usually just use EzGIF because you can control the frame rate and stuff!

@nessisonett cheers, I downloaded a few apps on the end. The first EZgif was choppy as hell, the second app I downloaded made a file too large but I've hit the sweet spot with my third app (second to be called EZgif - looks like a Chinese app) and produced this:

Im guessing your not using an android app lol, it's been rather hit and miss for me

Edit: bear with me lol, that's clearly not a moving image....

@ralphdibny I just use the website 😂😂

@nessisonett ok I'm finished. I'm going to delete all those Chinese apps lol. Cheers for the heads up, I've used the website now!

@ralphdibny Wow, that was definitely worth the effort 😂😂

@nessisonett 😂 thanks, I think there must have been a spring from sonic the hedgehog in that crate!

@ralphdibny It’s his little arm waves and the look towards the ground that make it!

@nessisonett haha yeah, it's like they put in extra frames of animation just to accommodate this ridiculous glitch!

You should see the look on the guy's face when he get hits with a Molotov. I can't tell if it's an overreaction or an under reaction. I think I'd probably die from shock immediately in real life so i would have no reaction whatsoever

@ralphdibny I do have a photo of death by Molotov where I posed like Michael Jackson! I’ll post that one when I sort through my other photos from this and AC Odyssey.

Ness, for some reason every time I click to reply on one of your comments it links me to https://www.pushsquare.com/# which just takes me to the home page. I won't attempt to spell and bodge your username with an @ tag 😂

All I'll say is that I'll look forward to seeing the gif/pic and chamon'!

@ralphdibny I've had that happen a few times as well, not with any specific person though. Found the photo too!

@nessisonett haha that's legendary. He looks like a smooth criminal. I think he needs Bubbles to put him out.

Thanks Ness is On It, or Ness is One TT? I've always been curious what your username is actually all about lol. Could be my first suggestion in a Scottish accent. Maybe I just can't see where one word ends and another starts. Or maybe you just put your password in the username box by accident when signing up to the website 😅

Also, loch Ness or Ness from Earthbound, I've always assumed the latter but I guess the former could be appropriate
