Yay, a few days after a pay-day. Genkibowl missions are definitely some of my favorites in the game.

What's the best way to get survival missions to come up? I have 14 or so, and no other challenges or missions to complete.

Pretty sure they come up only when you're not doing anything else. No activities, no diversions, no notoriety, sometimes I think even driving may count. Basically, idle for a bit, and something should pop up.

Once you've beaten them all you can trigger specific ones to repeat by standing a few blocks away from their location.

Killer robot posted:I strongly agree here. The generic Saints Stronghold Penthouse interior is a lot better than any given SR2 crib, but three identical ones? Replacing crazily unique interiors? It's really one of the more baffling decisions, no matter how cool seeing the city covered in purple skyscrapers from outside is.

Asimo posted:I'm almost positive this was a development time issue, since it's pretty clear you were intended to upgrade the strongholds, with changes to both the inside and outside look. All they got in time for launch was the external changes though, and even those just for the final rank. Alas. I can see this but I don't understand why they decided to deactivate the doors leading inside after you finished the missions to capture them to get into the content that was already finished and you already poked through. If there's one thing I would love for this game it's more building interiors. There's already a lot of building interiors but they lock you out again when you're done with them.

For the interiors like Angel's Casino and Kinzie's pad, I'd really love to see a little more interactivity. What comes to mind for me is the briefing rooms in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. Every now and then, you'd have some setpiece you could interact with, like tapping on a fishtank or pedaling on an exercise machine. Those were nice little touches that could go well with base interiors.

While we're on this topic, it makes me a little angry how teeming SR2 was with content compared to 3. I spent some time reading the Saints Row wikipedia a few weeks ago and I came across this: Each red blip is specifically a marker for what idle animations your character could do, relevant to where you were standing http://saintsrow.wikia.com/wiki/Idle Don't get me wrong, SR3's engine is absolutely loving superb and is a much more fun game to play than 2, but drat. Stuff like this just cold astonishes me. It's the little things that matter. What could have been..................  edit: this may be the stupidest loving thing you may ever read but when I was cooping this game for the first time, I was thinking it would be cool if in SR4 you had a low chance, like 1/10th the chance you have of seeing a Professor Genki, to see one of the other rival gang bosses running around doing poo poo. You're the boss of the Saints, you run around personally doing crazy poo poo all the time like holding up shops, committing Insurance Fraud, upgrading cars, evading the police, etc. If it were relevant to the story (as in, Loren, Maero and Matt wouldn't be doing this, but some crazy, eccentric gently caress like The General?), how loving cool would it be to randomly come across one of the rival gang members doing the exact same poo poo? Of course, to keep you from breaking the game they'd have to program it so after you did x amount of damage to the rival boss, they rocketted off to safety somehow or some other nonsense to escape.

Honestly, if they were given the time they had with SR2 for SR:TT, we'd have interiors, layers, random events and all that poo poo. SR2 basically had Stilwater and the graphics engine built already when they started. SR:TT was built from the ground up. I'm expecting all those cool things in SR4 however, since they shouldn't be making a new graphics engine.

Just finished Saints Row 3 today. I don't think I've played a game that fun in a long time. I'm not sure what other word could describe it other than "fun". It managed to be completely over-the-top all the way though, and still be completely entertaining all the way through. I think my absolute favorite end-game scene was at the Murderbrawl with Angel fighting Killbane. He gets thrown out of the ring and is quickly piled on by luchadores. Then you pick up a chainsaw and tear everyone apart as the fitting music plays  . That was just jaw-dropping. This is my first Saints game, and I already know SR4 is going to be my first deluxe-edition-pre-order purchase if there is one. I'm a huge nut for ultra realism, big plots, and gritty themes, but this has been a total ball playing.

I was messing with the plastic surgery shops in the game, and I noticed people are really petty about your character's weight. Like, you set the slider to fat 10% and they start saying stuff like "you look like a pile of wet trash" and "drat girl, you curvy." They don't even look fat at all at that setting.

I have only played SR2 for a few hours but I think the quality of the gameplay is worth the trade off. I found Sr2 barely playable with the wonky controls. I really hope 4 has tons of content.

Dr Christmas posted:What's the best way to get survival missions to come up? I have 14 or so, and no other challenges or missions to complete. For some reason, I find that I always get a call immediately after completing a base jump off of a sufficiently high structure. In other news, I've gotten every achievement but the one for completing all the in-game challenges, and unfortunately my save file is 100% completed so I don't get wandering gang members to spawn around town any more. This wouldn't be a huge problem except that I did not complete the "TAUNT 50 GANG MEMBERS" challenge in the course of normal play, and now I can't think of any way to finish it. I've still got some of the survival missions left, but the gang members that those events spawn are automatically hostile and for some reason the game doesn't count a taunt for the purposes of that challenge if the gang member isn't neutral to start with. I've had limited success with trying to use the survival gang members to jack my stars up, driving around long enough for a gang to set up a road block, and then running into an owned building near enough the roadblock that the gang members don't despawn - this way I can run back out and taunt them and get one or two at a time, but then they go hostile, I kill them, the stars don't go up enough again to summon more, and I'm still out of dudes to taunt. My question is, are there any in-game events that trigger neutral gang members to spawn, or is there a cheat that I can enter that will force gang members to spawn randomly in the world? I'm going to be mildly frustrated if I can't get this achievement because I didn't think to complete one loving challenge before I finished the main story quests.

The trick is to escape the survival diversion, reacquire their notoriety, drag them over to an owned store, duck in, come out and THEN taunt them. You should be fast enough to stop them from fleeing, so keep taunting and ducking until you hit 50. You're not the only one who thinks it sucks.

You know you can just shoot random civilians and you'll still get gang notoriety, right? Just do that, then duck into a store when they're all coming after you.

Once you beat the game it only increases police notoriety. Sorry about my unhelpful advice in the story thread, didn't realize they needed to be un-pissed off for it to count. My recommendation then is honestly just start a new save for it. You have to do it anyway to get the plot achievements and the other unlockables, which if you care about achievements seems like you'd be doing that anyway. I'm doing it over for the Apocofist, personally.

Find someone else who has the game and get them to load up an early game save, then join them in co-op. Tons of gang members for you to taunt and it counts in your game as well as theirs.

Dewgy posted:Once you beat the game it only increases police notoriety. Sorry about my unhelpful advice in the story thread, didn't realize they needed to be un-pissed off for it to count. Yeah, I did start a fresh save just to get the individual trophy for taunting 50 gang members, but as I was playing the game on my main character I would always make a manual save right before the end of chapter missions so that I could just replay them twice in a row and get both achievements. At this point I only need the trophy for completing all challenges and I only need to taunt the gang members, and I really don't want to have to redo EVERYTHING else on the other character even though it almost looks like I have to. Incidentally, on another forum someone suggested doing a "Hard" ranked Snatch mission and then just exiting the mission once I had the attention of a gang. This seemed like a good idea but the problem is that when I exit the mission, even though the dudes turn neutral, they just hop into their cars and drive off and I can't get any of them to stick around to be taunted. I'll have to figure something out here because I really don't want to redo everything else just for one trophy.

Holy poo poo I never noticed the idle animation stuff. It's kind of like the different walk types and facial expressions, nearly completely unnecessary but you miss it when it's not there as an option. Rocketlex posted:If I'd seen that before SR3 came out, I would have said "I'd have rather they put that effort into making the gunplay feel better." If SR4 can be to SR3 what SR2 was to SR1 (already have the groundwork and world in place) so they can go crazy with content.

Incidentally, if you don't have the 500 headshots challenge done either, this is a great way to do it. If you have immunity to bullets, you can just stand still and cut down waves of them for 9 minutes.

Enemy gang members will still spawn randomly in the world even after wiping them out. Granted it's fairly rare but it does happen. Anecdotally speaking I've run into Morningstar members outside the Saints HQ a lot after taking over as well as other gang types near the strongholds.

My character (girl) uses 2% muscle and 25% fat and I only get comments about how men want to do her or girls calling her a slut or saying they have the same shoes... I think it depends more on the clothing? I'm usually dressed really slutty with the Genki head, though so that might have something to do with it.
