Thanks, that's the perfect solution. Does this apply to boats & aircraft too? I guess once you've done that you can just summon them when required?
Yeah, any vehicle, land sea or air, that is collectible just needs taking to a garage.

Once you've done that you can summon any collected vehicle via the rebel drop.

I've started this tonight. Seems fun so far. Plenty to be getting on with. I love the little Fiat 126 type car, I could drive that round all day!

Got an update on PC last night. Can't say I noticed any improvements after a couple of hours play. Seems to me the draw distance has been altered and now I see lots of objects appearing in the middle distance when before they were rendered further away.

Also crashes on exit which it never did before. So my experience seems to be that it's worse after the update.

Strange, my load times are never more than 5 seconds anymore.

Load times were never a problem for me to start with, running off an SSD made it fast all the time. So if there is an improvement in load times, it's not visible to me - but the reduced graphics performance certainly is.

I think they have tried to address the FPS drop issue - which I also wasn't getting.

Oh well - still good fun, my current tactic is getting a helicopter gunship and hanging about 1km away from a military base spamming missiles like crazy. The result is usually liberating it without even getting a single shot fired in return. Speeds up the liberation of the smaller bases no end.

I'm loving the Navajo gunship. Makes spamming the bases as above very satisfying. I also like finding all the SAM sites on a base, hacking them all then letting all hell break lose and watch as the Helicopter support comes flying in. Then not flying any more.

Can the console gamers confirm whether its a worthy buy or not? I'm usually a follower of IGN but on this one they leave it at a "meh" rating. Is the frame rate drop a real issue especially on the XB1?

Can't speak for XB1 but since the PS4 update the FPS is a lot better and I havent really noticed anything with the graphics.

It's great until you try to steal an inbound enemy helicopter and your own SAM shoots them down with you underneath lol.

It's alright. It's not going to change the world, but it gives some lighthearted entertainment. There are better titles out there.

A bit of brain dead adventure is what I need right now! As a bonus, the copy I just bought has an XB1 port of JC2 included, how cool is that?!

Yeah, I'm not sure if I'll bother downloading JC2. I'm not sure how long this one will take to complete, paying attention to the collectibles. It seems pretty big.

If you liberate all the towns and Military bases you get the collectables showing on the map.
