Seems like mine is broken. I can mash the shoot button all day long but nothing happens and the ammo counter will not decrease. It does it every single time I lose control of the vehicle in any way other than pressing circle.

Pretty sure he's talking about a story mission. edit for more info: The answer to "how do I get X" is usually "advance the plot." Unless it's DLC, you can get everything you've heard about through the storyline, from Apocafist to helicopters to hoverjets to all sorts of guns.

Hey, at least the Boss managed not to be a complete psychopath this time around.

Call me a pussy, but the bartender death scene in SR2 made me really dislike him.
Actually I'm disappointed that they softened the boss's mean streak. She just doesn't have the same gritty menace anymore. Sure, anchoring yourself to a helicopter and sniping off the side of a building is great, but so's smashing through a roof, stabbing a dude with a tattoo needle and spiking his buddy's head with a brick.

The second story mission in the game was already better-executed than 90% of SR2. I have high hopes.

So, I just did both endings. The one where you kill Killbane is undoubtedly the 'canon' one. Of course, I can't believe that the Daedalus was relegated to what was, essentially, an epilogue cameo. That sucks.

Yeah, that ending is the ending more in line with the Boss' character from Saints Row 2, but I like the happy ending because it implies the Boss has actually grown as a character instead of just being the same old psychotic rear end in a top hat. Now she's a new psychotic rear end in a top hat!

And the Daedalus can be found just chilling outside of Steelport if you bother to look for it before the finale. I didn't actually check it out before I ended the game though, so that was a missed opportunity I guess.

Cena Sucks


I'm stuck on one of the vehicle theft missions, I think it's bugged.

I've finished the storyline, so STAG are gone, and one mission means I need to steal a Condor. There's a small outpost of them with a Conder there tagged to steal, but everytime I steal it and fly away I get halfway to the drop off location and it'll suddenly start going through steaming/smoking/on fire and explode while taking absolutely no damage from anything.

Sucks rear end. I already lost my N-Forcer by having a homie come drop it off for that hand in at the same area, which then turned out permanently removed from my garage unlike any other vehicle you ever destroy.

EDIT:

Managed to do it by flying the whole way to the drop off point in helicopter mode rather than jet mode. Seems like switching modes something wasn't switching properly and it was constantly colliding with itself or something. Kind of frustrating but hey ho, all done now. Still don't have my N-Forcer back.

It's time to rise up, man up, get back up. Never been and won't be broken. Dust off and then come back for more.


With regards to the above I read elsewhere that completing the game doesn't completely wipe out all the gang presence in Steelport. Is that right? I can never seem to get my taunts to register and I want to blaze the last few missions.

Also it seems there will still be a little cache of Stag vehicles for the chop-shop, correct?

Do I have everybody's attention now?


Since STAG gets introduced the game has been pretty much nonstop . Someone on the team must be an Ace Combat fan. The mission where you cover the escape from the penthouse and take out the AWACS is pretty much straight out of the series, especially the enemy chatter. Air Steelport has some badass music during the tank drop. Sounds like it's from some kind of bullet hell shooter or Zone of the Enders. I really want a soundtrack of all the mission music.

Heli Assault is way better when you have enough control to use the guns. PC gaming for life.

I know the helicopter controls are Easy Mode compared to something like Battlefield but I feel like I could actually do a decent job if I had to fly like that, even in dense buildings. The plane controls are still counterintutitive though.

Anyone have any tips for Trail Blazing (regular, not cyber?) I'm having fits trying to do the Hard level difficulty one in Luchadores Territory (Yearwood, in the southwest corner of the map.) I can't even make it to the ninth checkpoint out of 12, I must be doing something fundamentally wrong here. But I haven't gotten any closer after trying continuously for nearly an hour.

Also, does anyone know exactly what the $40,000 "City Takeover" bonus thing you can buy through your phone once you get high enough level does exactly? I'm afraid to use it because I don't want to lock myself out of certain minigames.

Run over lots of pedestrians, they give the biggest bonus to time. Then hit cars if there aren't big groups.

Is anyone else not seeing any achievements on Steam? I can't even see what the achievements are, the page for them just isn't there. The store page says they exist and I've heard others mention them, but I don't see them.


Also, what is with the limited save slots? Why the gently caress can't I have as many saves as I want?

I found a Technically Legal that you can go inside. If you're looking for it, I can't tell you where it is, but I found it by following those signs with the coloured circles. Find one that says Technically Legal and keep following them till you reach it. There's nothing to do in there other than murder strippers though.

Let me ask for clarification here...should I be trying to rush through the sections as fast or possible, or hit as many people/cars as possible to rack up as much time? I mean, should speed be the priority or should hitting targets?

Aphrodite, when you use that do you still get the achievement for taking over that part of town? Does it automatically kill the gang ops/finish the activities/etc?

A random thought I would have: While I'm not going to touch the DLC they're selling now, I would actually pay for DLC radio stations. Perhaps more 80's power balads or even louder and dumber dubstep. I don't imagine it would be a lot of work for Volition to do. However, because of liscencing I'd imagine the margins of return would be minuscule.

By the way, there isn't a user MP3 station in this game like in GTA games, is there?

Yes. I had the same reaction when I ran over a Morning Star car full of guys and completely flattened it. Other heavy vehicles like the Bulldog can do it to a lesser extent, but the tank is just completely steamrollers over everything.

Apparently, it's also sectional, since you can flatten the a third or half of a car and the mesh looks like it deforms according to your path over it.

I don't even know how long I've been playing, but at 45k per in-game hour I have made 400,000 just from the time I killed jetting around.

Tell your friends we're coming for them



I'm playing this through for the first time time and I'm kind of wondering something,

If I want to do the activities and takeovers with as much at my disposal as possible (weapons, vehicles, homies, etc), should I rush the main plot which seems to be how I'm getting the most cool stuff? Or is there a point where I should stop doing plot advancement missions?

OK, second question, I thought there was supposed to be a way to upgrade your cribs in this game? Unless it's another storyline unlock.

Last question, being the Boss I must have all the best vehicles as soon as possible. in SR2 you could get bears and attack helicopters and stuff right off the bat. I've been patient but I'm now annoyed that I can't find how to get these things in SR3. The airport only has crappy helis, none of the city helipads seem to have helis on them, and when I get into fights with the police etc. all the good vehicles magically despawn before I can steal one for my own. Where can I get an attack chopper, a bear/equivalent, the vtol, and any other good ones?

Attack chopper Tornados and Eagles spawn at the National Guard base
Bear: just piss off the police enough and you'll see SWAT ones around.
VTOL: not until a while into the plot (or if you grind respect to the mid 30s for the delivery)
Tank: 5-star wanted level. Have to shoot the gunner first to be able to steal it.
