Out of the Blue

I mentioned my medical check-up yesterday, which was fine, I received a clean bill-of-health. Unfortunately, when I was done, my car would not start, as the battery was dead. The good news is that I have roadside assistance (or in this case parking lot assistance) through my Verizon phone. The bad news is that is spite of being within walking distance of a couple of garages, it took well over an hour for help to arrive. I'm not sure if that's par for the course or not, but it seemed like too long, and if I had it to do over again I would have just walked to one of the nearby shops for help in spite of the rain.

OK, SR3 time - is anyone using a gamepad? After doing nothing but side missions, I did the first chopper mission last night, and, using a keyboard, was less than impressed. It almost felt like, while I had the W key pressed to move forward, it wasn't registering the CTRL key (I think it was) to dive at the same time.

Thought about trying a gamepad, but I'm not sure how well aiming might work then during gunplay.


Other issue: Anyone found a way to zoom out the camera while driving? It seems awful close to the bumper, and I keep trying to use the mouse wheel (which only changes weapons) to zoom back. Also, I keep moving the camera up, so I can see further down the road, and it keeps snapping back down after a few seconds, so I'm constantly battling it.


Mild annoyances. Still having a blast with it!
