Ran through Genkibowl today and then played through the rest of Whored Mode I had left to do afterwords. Got all the achievements except the one for burning 50 peds. They should have had the Genki Girls' clothing as the unlocks instead of those animal heads, in my opinion. They don't seem to talk very much outside of their <name word> intro line they say when they show up, and their porn-esque squeaks when taking damage. Tammy is semi-amusing, as she does commentary type lines while you cause mayhem. I did notice that her and some other voices in the Genki content seemed very quiet for some reason. It also seemed like the voice clips played when calling homies went silent, or maybe the Genkibowl-added phone entries just don't have any I guess? Playing on 360, by the way. I really did not understand skyblazing at all the first couple times I played it. The trick is to actually hold down or whatever to make yourself fly forward a lot, land on the rooftops and kill mascots, and to not really worry about failing to follow the rings. You can use the balloons to get air again, then circle around to rings you missed or rooftops you haven't cleared. I also went to that not-used-for-anything interior place mentioned a few pages back. It's like a convenience store, but the sign seems to claim it's called Steelport News. There are posters for Steelport News in other interiors, like the STAG office building thing, if I recall. The Joe Cola standee in there is really weird too. Maybe it's supposed to be someone from Nyte Blayde? IdolNinja and pals, have you guys played whored mode? There are some things there that seem to only be there and could potentially be useful or fun for modding. There are weird purple question marks with guns. I assume those were some kind of placeholder model used in dev that they just made into whored mode enemies...that or my console was flipping out and failing to load a model, I guess. There is also a wave where you melee people into bursts of stars, drunk mode, and of course the shrinking and growing of people. I may be crazy too but I swear Whored Mode had lines from voices I have used to beat the game that I never heard before, especially Female 2 (choose the character "Super" for that voice).

How about some gang customization using whored mode models and other npcs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjtDAJANuuo 2:38 shows the player rolling with question mark homies and balls. I also have some additional plans for the other things you mentioned.

Oh, very nice. I was actually thinking while playing today that it would have been cool if Whored Mode let you play as any NPC you wanted, gang customization options for them sounds pretty nice too. Oh yeah another thing from WH, rocket skates being used by someone other than the Decker specialists!

I'd like it if Whored Mode actually let you use your custom character instead of a couple of presets. I really don't know why they decided to do that. But what I'd really like is if there was a way to use Dragon controls outside of cyberspace. Not even just the dragon model, just the whole shift dash, left click slash, right click slam, Q fire breath thing.

I liked how they didn't introduce the Panda Suit until last so they could plausibly modulate the Boss' voice so they didn't have to worry about recording dialogue for all seven voices. Overall I'm disappointed. You could get through all the missions in about twenty minutes, and I felt like I was having rewards thrown at me like confetti to keep me from noticing how little there really is here. Did we really need four new homies? The Genki Cadillac and the yarn ball are pretty great, though.

This DLC was amusing enough, and it does give you a nice selection of vehicles and clothing. I wished it introduced new weapons and even more clothing options beyond the masks and the panda suit. I can't say it's worth the full $7, but since I got it through the season pass, I hope the next two DLC mission packs give more for the remaining money. I do hope the next two big DLCs have player voices in the cutscenes. And I wouldn't mind hearing more from Shaundi and Pierce. Hopefully since they had the chance to plan ahead for the DLC and they do sound a bit more sotry-based, they'll make it happen. (Heck, if for whatever reason if they bring back the 7 VAs, I wouldn't mind if they rerecord the Genki victory speech and patch the cutscene.) I do like that the news ticker left the possibility open for Gat still alive and PRESIDENT Monica Hughes. Edit: I wonder if Heavy Action could be added to my mix tape. Better go check...

Genkibowl was pretty entertaining. Fluffy, but I didn't really expect anything else from, you know, Genkibowl. The yarn ball is pretty much the only vehicle anyone ever needs again, of course. Playing in co-op, though, we kind of hit a crazy bug in Sad Panda Skyblazing. I started clearing a roof and had to bail, when my co-op partner landed in to finish it off. He cleared the roof for the bonus, and the bonus cash kept piling in. It didn't stop until it hit (I poo poo you not) $950,000. It's not even a file that would benefit from the money.  It was kind of disappointing the way they cheaped out on the voice actors for the final cutscene, but it's pretty understandable, and the dialogue itself is as top-notch as ever, so I'm not too put out about it. So it made for a pleasant evening, which is all I really expected out of it, so I'm happy.

Oh yeah this is pretty unrelated to anything but while playing today I also found something I wasn't aware was actually in the game at all: a half of a female nipple.

Well from the trailer and what you've all been saying the last page or so: I'm going to wait till this poo poo goes on sale. Sounds on par with the SR2 DLC which were less than stellar-to-kinda lame. Oh, quick question about the SR:TT Season Pass - does this include the shark gun / explosive dlc's as well? If the season pass is JUST for the 3 DLC's then... ha... no.

Nope, just the three DLC's. For what it's worth, level 4 krukov, infinite grenades, and mashing Q is basically a grenade launcher.

I just got shipped this from Gamefly. I've played an hour so far, and I am legitimately pissed at myself for waiting so long to play this game. One of the most hilariously self-aware titles I've played. Loving it so far.

I have all the DLC, and the Shark Gun is the only one that I can honestly recommend with no reservations. Buy it, calling in sharks to eat everyone is totally worth a dollar or two.

SR2's included some very boring go here shoot guys go here shoot other guys missions and like 3 pieces of clothing. The only thing I really liked was the hockey mask and Red Faction car. I do not feel disappointed in playing this, all of the activities and dialogue were hilarious, the costumes were great, and now I can have a Girl-Murder Power team of 3 Genk-ettes and Myself in the genki suit. Even if I would have spent the $10.00 SR2's dlc cost I wouldn't be near as disappointed as I was with that. For $7.00 (or whatever it comes out to after the season pass) I feel it was pretty perfect. But I liked activities, so YMMV

Trying to get the "Throw 5 mascots into the water in 'Apocalypse: Genki'" achievement is really frustrating with the maxed-out throw distance ability, since mashing against the wall doesn't count. Hitting pedestrians with the flamethrower is surprisingly hard as well.

Wow, I'm surprised to see the negativity here. I wasn't impressed with the new SERC activities, and I would have liked three levels of the others rather than just two, but that ball of yarn is just the best (and finally a Mayhem mission that doesn't end too quickly), and once I got the hang of it the sad panda was awesome too. And even though PR was pretty much just escort, you get a super awesome car out of it. How can you not think this was worth the money?

You have to run over pedestrians head-on until the lights on the back of the car start blinking (also the fire border at the bottom of the screen). Like other Genki vehicles, it eats people. This time it turns them into flamethrower chow. Sir Unimaginative fucked around with this message at Jan 18, 2012 around 12:00 |

I figured it out,thanks for the replies, but it's not as much fun as it looks Is it possible to get the preorder vehicles if I got the game just after christmas? And does the flamethrower gatmobile respawn? I saw it within 2 minutes of playing and blew it up by accident and my first gang operation

After half an hour of mucking around in a tank killing dozens of cops and rival gangsters, Cheapy D is worth it just for the line he gives when you dismiss him. Cool. I gotta pick up my son from school.

This is also kind of a petty gripe but I hope the other DLC costs more. If all three of them are 6.99 that would put the season pass at saving a whopping $1, which, I wouldn't pay up front for if I knew about it.

I did already buy it. Yay! It's also kind of depressing how much more fun all the past Genkibowls sound than what we got. Grizzly bear rodeo? Floor made of buzz-saws with angry gorillas? Nah here's the exact same SERC except there's jungle set dressing and some water areas.

I can't actually check it now but I've read that the ball of yarn has nitro on it during the activity. The delivery version doesn't but I assume it would if you have the "all vehicles have nitro" upgrade.

My only problem is that Yarnie either moves faster in the activity or I could actually use nitrous in it during the activity. I'm not sure something just feels a little off when I'm rollin' around outside of the activity. And I have the "Everything has Nitrous" ability.

This DLC was pretty underwhelming to be honest. I wish they had the yarn ball idea when they were working on Red Faction games. It doesn't really work well in this game because there's more things it gets stuck on than it can destroy.

Obsurveyor posted:As said before, land on roofs and kill dudes. If you hit some of the rings and land on at least two roofs and kill everybody, you will easily win the first one. The second one is a little harder because you have less time on the roofs, so that takes three or four. Use the Panda balloons near the ground to get back up to higher ground, they shoot you up much further than Tigers. Try not to hit the Tiger balloons except if you are trying to get back up to a higher roof than the Pandas will lift you. Do not worry about the Unethical penalty for hitting the Pandas, it is a whopping $100. I would say the biggest thing that helped me with Sad Panda Skyblazing was to never use the cannons. Some of them are facing poor directions, they shoot you too far or too fast, and your camera angle doesn't even follow the first several seconds of flight. If you land on a roof, just jump the gently caress off and use a Unethical Balloon to get back up. It's way worth the -$100 penalty to have actual control of your character you don't get from the cannons.

Gave the DLC a shot this morning. It was "okay". The activities aren't bad, even if they're just other activities with a layer of Genki-gloss. The yarn is pretty fun in a Katamari kinda way. Totally need to extract that music, too. Friend of mine is asking if it's worth getting for himself. Not sure what to tell him since mileage will vary, the only real gems that I derived from this are the yarn and the Genki Cadillac. The quality is good, but it really only held my attention for about a half hour, maybe it's a lot better in co-op. As it is, the season pass has me underwhelmed so far, and I'm still bitter about the NyteBlayde vehicles being non-customizable and non-upgradeable. Think I'll just advise him to wait until it's on sale, or see if he can find a leftover Steam coupon to slice a few bucks off the cost of admission.
