I departed from Empire City for a week or so as the sun has been shining all week but I went back to it briefly a little while ago to realise why I had stopped playing it. Well, kind of.
As soon as the blast shards were available to be picked up on the first island, I decided to hunt them all down before I start the game properly (it makes it easier for me as I am pursuing my second play-through on hard mode).
I have 144 out of a supposedly 147 blast shards. Three are missing.
Did anybody else have the same intention as I am currenting doing as it would be nice to know whether the missing three blast shards are only available at a later time in the game. Or am I just not searching hard enough?
I get the feeling that C' might know the answer to my question though.
Thank you.

Reached the third island , I'm finding this incredibly repetitive to be honest. Enjoyed the prison section onward to the third island though.Comment

You can go back at any time to get ones you've missed. However, I'd seriously consider getting all shards on each island before moving on. Getting to the end of the game and realising you only have one to find, it's much nicer knowing you only have a single island to scour and not all three.Originally posted by Extra Terrestrial View PostComment

Both times I got all blast shards I never tracked how many I had on each island as basically I forgot to do so. I just had to ensure I scanned thoroughly but it's obviously if you do keep track of completion per island, it makes it easier to narrow down exactly where you are missing some.Originally posted by Extra Terrestrial View Post
Unfortunately I cannot help with finding all 3 of the remaining shards you are missing. There's one for sure I think you cannot collect until you have Static Thrusters (which unlock on the second island iirc). It's located
This shard does not show up on your radar echo from the land as it's too far out but you can see it if you look. This is a commonly missed shard and was the 350th i collected on my first time collecting them all.
Also, remember that your scan will not show up any shards that are above a certain height and this can lead to some being missed if you scan from ground level. There is definitely one on the first island that this applies to (just look for any especially tall buildings).
The only place I can think of where you could have missed one is int he Reaper compound that you battle through to open the tunnel that leads to Sasha. There's definitely 2 (at least) in there that are easy to miss if you are focussed on the mission at the time.Comment

Also don't forget the shard on top of the HUGE leaning building next to ground zero, which doesn't ping until you get a fair way off the ground.Comment

Must be near the end now. I like the mission variations. I managed to break the level where you first battle a big
though:
have also had a few instances where pushing the left stick forward actually makes cole walk in a diffeent direction. Like where a game has an invisible wall except there isn't one. jumping around a bit and fiddling with the camer usually fixes it though. No big deal.Comment

The "goes a different direction" usually happens when you're in an area with a lot of rubble and chain link fences. My guess is the way that things you can grab onto have an almost magnetic quality is interfering with the controls. It's possible when you're on rubble or other impassible terrain, the game can't decide properly if you're on the ground or not.Comment

The areas I'm talking about had entirely flat ground and no obstacles withing 5 feet of me left or right! It's just a bug. Not a big deal and I think just 2 small areas where it occurred.Comment

This is still my "go to" game. Whenever I'm not sure what I feel like playing, I play this. I got a few more trophies today and spent a while riding the train tracks trying to kill 25 people for that trophy...until I realised that one was for killing them whilst riding a train, not just the tracks
Down to 14 shards to find now, and I'm out of ideas. Tried all the "boss" areas in case I'd missed some in the heat of battle but no. Ridden the tracks all the way round on every island tap L3 over and over but no. Thought I'd been everywhere on all islands, but obviously not. I even found the ones way out in the water! 14 to go, and I want to get them!
Not even started my Evil/Hard playthrough yet!!Comment

Just finished it. Good fun. Controls sometimes seemed a bit stodgy and the jumping was a tad too sticky but great stuff overall.Comment

4 shards to go...
Argh, it's Crackdown all over again!Comment
