OK, like a dumbarse I finally worked out the garage trick to customise uncustomisables. And now the cops get very suspicious when I'm out cruising along in my purple tank.

It turns out that if you have a random Saints gang member jump onto the turrent machinegun when you're driving a tank, they will absolutely tear apart any helicopters that attack you. The police survival activities are hilariously easy if you're in a tank!

Uh, surely all the survival activities are easy in a tank? They seem to be designed to be done on foot.

All this talk about "going back to Saints Row 2", I'm actually still trying to complete SR1. Ammo actually costs a poo poo tone of money. Drives on highways are visually uninteresting. Stores are actually closed at night. Radio stations show their music budget to be on smaller side. The controls and the gameplay are obviously primitive. The evolution through the three games can't be understated.

Poor Lin.

edit: the loving stores.

Also, graphics.

How come when an NPC is controlling the secondary gun on a STAG tank it is some crazy laser, but when I shoot it, it is just some crappy gun?

I kept stealing them after they'd laser blast me only to be disappointed and resigned to having a stupid gun. Then I had Viola hop in and blam, laser gun.

Also that stupid boat theft mission where the GPS tells you to go under the bridge that is shorter than your boat. Screw you GPS.

Because a tank has *3* guns on the tank!

There's the main cannon w/ the machine gun you control and then there's a seperate laser cannon for when somebody else gets in. This is easy to note because
when you kill the gunner on the tank it'll stop firing those laser blasts at you.

All the people walking around in Saints Row 2 could be created with the in-game editors and clothing options for sure. In 3, they're pretty flat. Both games still suffer from running into clones. How many goth chicks in 2 asked if you ever hosed a fertility goddess? In 3, I jacked a truck from a guy driving his 3 other clones around while running over a few others in the getaway.

I do get slowdown during big stuff on the PS3. A huge explosion or if things get crazy busy things start to chug for a few moments before returning to normal. In Saints Row 2, the game occasionally freezes and I have to hard reset the PS3. I rather have the slowdown than the game locking up.

But yeah, playing 2 after 3 does feel like a step down aside from (subjectively) the music selection, story and cutscenes, and mission structure. I would have taken a generic "go here and kill dudes" mission over that crawl of doing activities as story missions. I rather go into a stripper joint turned drug den and kill the dealers and destroy the meth labs.

I do like the tone shift in the boss, though. Waking up after being in a coma for a year to find out how much things have changed can piss you off and seeing the cutscenes again... you're boss is one pissed off person. Songbearer posted a gif a while back of his boss giving Pierce a look that would have made anyone poo poo their pants from the Orange Threat Level opening cutscene - while it was a pretty awesome look that summed up what kind of psycho the boss was in 2, it would have been out of place in the more zany tone of 3. Plus, being on top of the world would probably mellow a person out.

Edit: I forgot you could dial numbers in Saints Row 2 as well. I miss that feature. Most of it was fluff but it was still kind of cool.

As I have noted elsewhere Professor Genki is awesome enough to make the money for SR3 worth it by itself. Excellent music, fun gameplay, funny crazy commentators (voiceover chatter being one of the things that I feel is otherwise too sparse in SR3 compared to SR2), and; of course; CASH IN POCKET!!!

Longer version with the exit theme included as well here.

I really really hope that a DLC with more Genki missions is released at some point.

Unlocking the VTOL caused a problem for me, since I usually leave my crib by jumping off the heliport... but having a VTOL there means I might not leave that way any more!

Also, Oleg's distraction while the elevator gets hacked in the Gang Bang mission is amazing

Given that one of the mission packs in the season pass is the Genkibowl, my hopes are high.

Is Red Faction: Guerilla on the same engine as SR3, or SR2, or something else entirely?

I'm jonesing for more Volition open world gameplay now that I've finished SR3, but I don't want to play another awful PC port.

Somewhere in between. It's not as bad as SR2, but it's nowhere near as good as SR3's performance. Still a fantastic game though.

Since the official facebook page told me to do so, I picked up the pirate badge in the Saints Row 2 multiplayer today.

Since that was the only reason I was there, it led to a temporary truce where we complimented eachother for a minute rather than kill.

In case anyone was wondering where this music is from it's a remix of Funky Fanfare by Keith Mansfield.

The park is directly north of the main Saints HQ crib in the southern part of downtown. There is a winding bridge over the park, with water and grassy hills underneath. The far eastern part of the park is where you want to loook.
