Lyer posted:For me, it was safer to zig zag to the boat. Although if you got the SR2 DLC that gave you the vulture attack helicopter, you can take that and fly it to the boat. You also get to shoot down the copters when they spawn. It's actually much more fun this way; killing poo poo via air and then parachuting down on top of the boat. It's almost like a SR:TT mission. I usually just hopped on the jetski and hung around near shore until the helicopter showed up, then get off and shoot it down with a rocket. They respawn, but you can usually make it to the boat before they'll catch up to you a second time.

cornface posted:Most of the time when I'd call in the VTOL homie he would smash the thing up so badly trying to land that it was more effective to just drive back to the crib and get it myself. I called the VTOL homie yesterday and had to chase him down three blocks and jump a couple fences before he finally landed in an intersection.

So far the only good thing I can say about VTOL homie is that he's never crushed me with the vtol.

Once I called heli homie. Waited a few minutes, I could hear the chopper but not see it. I ran to the next corner and looked around. I'd called him while standing under the train tracks, and now he was landing on them and lifting off again over and over, merrily bobbing up and down trying his best to get the heli to street level, but DUH TRACKS IN WAY.  God bless you, heli homie, I know you're trying your best. It's alright.

Related to the VTOL/Tank/Heli homies, is it just me that was hoping they would be more like calling in air/tank support, rather than just delivering vehicles to you? I mean you already HAVE a vehicle delivery option. I guess you can't have it deliver VTOLs/Helicopters... though I don't see why not really, since the AI is capable of delivering that stuff. I think it would have been a lot cooler if the VTOL/Tank/Heli/Saints numbers were like temporary support options you could call up for a particularly hectic combat. They wouldn't follow you around like homies, but they'd stick around where you called them until they either got killed or you got far enough away to despawn the area. It'd be great for the survival diversions.

Once my VTOL home somehow managed to land the loving thing upside down. I think, I may be remembering wrong. On VTOL's in general, I landed a VTOL I was flying on top of an enemy VTOL just by jumping out of it so I could get a new one on that mission where you had to help the convoy across the bridge. They both blew up.

After digesting the game for a long while, there's something a bit off about SR:TT. There's something about Steelport and the unsatisfying endings that don't really make me want to put in as much time as I did with SR2. I'm not saying that it's not the better game; it is by far. It's just missing that something that kept me playing SR2 for 150+ hours across 5-6 characters. I've only finished 2 playthroughs and don't really have any motivation to go on. I don't even really like dicking around in the city nearly as I much as I did in Stilwater. The lack of interiors, varied environments, and a lesser radio music listing, (don't think this one could be helped, don't think SR2's will ever be topped) just doesn't lend itself to driving around the city soaking up the atmosphere. 5 star rampages, while it's certainly better than being completely stale in SR2, gets obnoxious with the tanks and the brutes. Sometimes I just want to run around and blow poo poo up with pistol and not have to resort to explosives. I remember loading up SR2, blowing poo poo up for an hour or two on foot in co-op and having it being relaxing as poo poo. I just can't put my finger on it. I definitely love the game, but it's just missing that certain something for me.

Stilwater had so many different memorable locations, which Steelport really lacks. Cemetery, power plant, trailer park, lighthouse, docks, university district, mountain peak, prison, Chinatown, those are all just off the top of my head. I also really miss the secret areas and islands. And even though the hidden CDs were worthless to me, it gave me a reason to go to certain places. Like, the big steel pouring thing on the Magarac statue. Give me a reason to land or jump into it! Some of the collectibles were fun, but most of them were placed more like graffiti tags than being someplace difficult to get to. The cliffside cave was neat, but that's about it.

Hell, the Tank homie IS redundant if you manage to squeeze a Challenger into one of your garages, since the regular vehicle homie can bring that one to you if so. No way to mod it though; I swear the inability to turn any of the military or aerial vehicles into purple monstrosities is a terrible failing on someone's part.

I have to agree with you on this; I recognize that SR3 is technically the superior game in every way, but for some reason it just doesn't feel like it has the same lasting appeal. If it weren't for the DLC coming out, I'd have probably traded it in by now, but for whatever reason I could never bear to part with my copy of SR2. Personally I think it's that lack of environment variety that did it for me. If you got bored, you could go exploring and find cool things like that underground sex doll lair or check out the surrounding islands and end up rewarded with a giant cabbit popping out of the ocean. Then you could go throw people off of railings at the mall, or dress up in a swimsuit and go to the beach with a chainsaw and ruin everybody's day. I just didn't have that same connection to the world of SR3 as I did with SR2, I guess.

As someone who did less exploring and more loving around, SR3 is way better than SR2 on a moment-to-moment basis. If you like to explore more than you like loving around, SR2 is better in scale and detail. SR4 is going to be the best game ever.

You could modify most of the military vehicles to some extent with the garage glitch. I haven't played in a while so I'm not sure if that still works.

I just did it yesterday so it still works; - Bring a regular car to Rim Jobs, press Y to bring up the menu and select "Customize" - Go to the "Garage" option to see your list of owned cars - Highlight the Tank (or whatever vehicle you want). - Don't select it, just back out of the Garage menu. You'll go back to the Rim Jobs menu and you'll be modding the Tank instead of the car you brought in.

^ I did this and can confirm it. Also works with the space rover you get after the last mission, which is fully customizable, but kneecappers are buggy and they stick out to the left on all four wheels (going under the car on the right-side wheels). They still work just fine, but they look stupid. Strangely, the "bed" body mod for the flatbed truck can't be reversed. Once you pick it (it covers it in cargo of some kind), you're stuck with it. I still want purple helicopters. Unfortunately, I couldn't make my STAG vehicles purple, but the N-Forcer's interior color also affects the gun, so I have an N-Forcer with a purple machine gun mounted on top. So, you know that drug package that's sitting at the bottom of a cliff? Well, I raised some hell in the city on my way to go and get that, pissing off the Steelport PD in the process. Once I was down on the ledge, I watched several officers jump to their deaths trying to follow me, in addition to the two tanks, at least three humvees, and four police cars they drove off the cliff into the harbor. I tried to get a video of this. How the gently caress does video recording mode work? It only recorded the last 19 seconds of the mayhem, which was just me taking potshots at a helicopter with pistols. I shot out all the windows.

I've recently come back to the game after taking a few months off, and the weird thing is the glitch only works like half the time now, and for some reason doesn't even work on stuff it previously did affect. I have no idea if I'm doing it wrong or if it was halfway-patched or what  For reference, is anyone able to get the Genkimobile (not the Manapult) or the Genkibowl gang vehicles to the customization screen with this?

Don't click on the Genkimobile, just highlight it and then back out of the Garage menu back to customization. You have to actually be at a Rim Jobs, I think; I don't think you can do it in your crib garage even though you can customize vehicles normally. Step by step: 1: Get a customizable vehicle and drive it into Rim Jobs. Press E (on a PC, whatever the gently caress it is on a console) to bring up the customization menu. 2: Click "Garage" and scroll through the menu until you are highlighting the car you want to customize. 3: Hit escape or whatever the console button is to back out of the garage menu, confirm it, and you should have your Genkimobile up in vehicle customization. Removing the hood ornament is under 'Hoods'. Grills, exhaust tips, and body kits do nothing, but all of the performance upgrades work.

With all the crazy stuff they have you able to customize, the things they arbitrarily make you unable to customize, like military vehicles, just get to me. I'm also annoyed at npc clothing that you can't buy, like the beer, hotdog, and energy drink costumes, angel wings, and devil horns. Anyway, has anyone discovered any of the more memorable unique lines different boss voices have? In "Three Way," when Pierce asks if anyone has anything they want to get off their chest, Male 1 read Jane Eyre 13 times and female 1 is on a coed curling team.

Just tried it again and yep, it's still being moody as hell about what it will and won't work on. Will work on: Bloody Cannonees, Nyte Blade, X-2 Phantom, Wraith, Syndicate gang vehicles. WON'T work on: Manapult (but it never did anyway) Bear*, Crusader Tank, N-Forcer*, Challenger Tank*, Police Kenshin, Genkimobile, Genkibowl gang vehicles. *Even though I'm SURE the glitch worked on these until recently. So... my glitch is glitched

It worked fine for me the other day when I showed a friend of mine (who has Genki) how to do it. He proceeded to tear up the town in a bright pink Pepto-Bismol tank. Even with all the upgrades, it was smoking after like 10 minutes of concentrated fire from the police/National Guard.
