After doing dozens of sprinting melee attacks, I got the body surfing one, which is amazing. Does your victim have to be running? I've only gotten it this one time.

Usually depends on the direction from which you attack. Behind is sometimes body surf, but can sometimes be the leapfrog to the sucker punch.

Went to Zombie Island and ground out my last few levels by angering a horde of Deckers and police then ramping the bridge over to it. That way I get a gigantic three way battle between criminals, cops and the undead as I run around doing one hit takedowns everywhere. Those rack up points really, REALLY fast.

They even anticipated what might happen if the boss... wasn't human. Like if he were suddenly a hovering toilet, or something like that. I sincerely hope everyone remembered to try takedowns during that segment of the mission!

Well, the zombie voice is all grunts and mumbles. In cutscenes the subtitles are the normal lines, outside they're just "grunt" and "mumble" and the like. Still, every character in the game understands what you're saying.
So when my boss as Cyrus starts mumbling and grunting at Kia while following her, she just confused why you're grunting and asks if you're sick, maybe you should see the doctor. It's pretty far in the game, and I wasn't expecting her to not understand my speech, so it hit really hard for me and my co-op buddy. We spent minutes just laughing, unable to do anything.


Wait, the Boss-as-Cyrus can actually use the zombie voice? I know that, at least with the Russian voice (I haven't confirmed with the others), Boss-as-Cyrus uses "comrade" in a few places. Also, asks Kia if "Pierce is cute. If you were me, would you gently caress him?"

I can confirm that the British boss lets a typically British thing slip and Kia questions him on where he picked it up. The boss stammers some BS about serving in Britain, but Kia calls him on it, saying that she's read his entire service record. Somehow, the Boss convinces her that it's true and then pulls a "Let's never ever speak of this again. To anyone. Ever" type thing. Seems like there's a bunch of different lines for each boss voice in a lot of major mission cutscenes!

I just had the best homie. I was doing a survival mission and just blowing everything the gently caress up with unlimited rockets and explosive immunity when some saints showed up. I recruited a few and eventually at the end of the mission I had one left. I jumped on a bike and hauled rear end away and rode around for a while before pulling a u-turn and just managing to see my homie dive out of a car straight onto the back of my bike. I guess he jacked a car and had been following me for a while. :3:

I finished up a survival against the cops and then just drove off to Friendly Fire for more ammo. Left the shop just in time to see my homie roll up in a tank. I already had a tank, but it's the thought that counts, and she thought to bring me a tank. Just what I always wanted! :-D

Laura Bailey voice slightly changes the initial conversations you have with Viola, in that it changes the lines for the NPC too, or at least it's different from the conversation I had with a British boss. Basically with British boss, she suggests cooperating and you express concern that it's a trap, to which she says that you can bring backup (Oleg) if you like. Laura Bailey is more hostile and just says "not loving likely" to her first suggestion and Viola instead says that she doesn't want to fight the Saints anymore and to just hear her out. It's not a big difference but they did script different personalities having different reactions.

For Kinzie's snatch activities I bought a Condor VTOL transport along. It felt kinda cool to pretend I was playing a mix between Halo and "Dropship" on the playstation 2.

I'm having a couple of issues.

First of all, the game is not auto-saving at least not as I can notice. I manually save regularlly as a result, but it's kinda annoying. I am not using any cheats. It's technically my second game, first was wit ha co-op partner who dropped out when we found out his zombie voice was unintelligeble.

Secondly, when I set my flight controls to advanced, nothing changes. Pressing up makes my plane fly up instead of descend and vice-versa.

That second problem is what annoys me more. I've tried switching between the two at no result.

Gotta give love to the random homies in this game. At the very beginning I had one lady who managed to survive a four star wave of Morningstar, even with me in my frail, low rep state she stood her ground against about 10 different people. Cars exploding around her, bullets whizzing everywhere, I was getting hosed from every angle and was glad that she was taking the heat instead of me.

I was just about to abandon her to her fate when she got knocked out and needed a revival. I was literally this close to leaving her for dead and saving my own skin, but she had done everything to make sure I could get away. I dive into the crowd, get my rear end shot off, revive her, jump on a nearby motorcycle with her in the backseat and I open up the throttle, with her blazing away at the Morningstar assholes left in our exhaust fumes with an SMG.

I drive her all the way back to the penthouse and let her go. Her response? "Anytime, boss, that was fun "

I called in a homie to bring my motorcycle and decided to bring him along. We tooled around town, got into some trouble, and so I decided to get away from the cops at the airport onto a helicopter. I run up the stairs, but my homie is having trouble following me. The pigs are closing in, but I jump down and try to get him to follow again, walking painfully slow. He still can't do it. Regretfully, I steal the chopper and leave him to his fate.

I see a large gathering of Morningstar after flying around near the airport for a bit, so I land my chopper on a building some distance away to snipe them all to hell. My chopper is bugged though, even though its landed and turned off it still sounds like it's going at full force. Then I turn around. Homie stole his own chopper, a cargo chopper, and followed me.

High five, homie. High five. Now let's go waste these fuckers.

It's actually optional in SR3! Double-tap the "get out of car button," and you'll leave it running with the radio on. Really useful when you're in a chopper and don't want to wait for the spin up when you stop to buy ammo or something.

Oh thank you! This is something I must have done by accident at least once, and I was always bothered by the radio going off when I got out. Love you!

On an unrelated note, I'm amused that Volition thought that the world would be a better place if Sasha Grey had an identical twin sister. That works for me too.

During the RC gun mission, with Female voice 3 there is a convo with Kinzie that goes something like this.

Boss: I'm liking this RC gun!
Kinzie: We should spend a night together with it.
Boss: Okay, someone needs to get laid.
Kinzie: Electronics are good for that too.

Also during the Cyrus disguise mission, only Female 3 speaks with Kia about their fav Aisha songs and that Kia actually joined law enforcement when Aisha got blown up?

I liked Male 2's chat with Kia because my boss that I've been playing across all 3 games totally would've hit on her. Kia's responses were awesome, too.

I know some people don't like Male 2 but I dig him a lot. Dude's so laid back, yet there's that hint of crazy that comes to the forefront at the appropriate times. Someone mentioned he sounded like a typical black gangsta voice but that's so far from the truth it's not even funny.

One of my favorite homie moment was when I dropped an empty mollusk launcher for a rocket launcher and Zimos stumbled on it and picked it up. He then had unlimited ammo for it and was even trying to drive by people with it.

I also had a Professor Genki homie with a rocket launcher roll with me through several storyline missions and it was then that I noticed they speak in Genki's voice. "You don't want to make Professor Genki angry!" and "YAY!" when he kills somebody.

My most expendable homie in the entire game is my car delivery service. (Or "Dial-A-Ninja", as I've nicknamed it, since i've managed to get it so that a ninja always delivers my car to me). Generally I snap their necks after they make their delivery, both to keep the Dial-A-Ninja methods secret, and because they occasionally piss me off by denting my car before I can even get behind the wheel.

Also, I performed what I consider to be the most amazing feat in the game thus far: Landing a plane without having any parts break or explode. That's with Advanced flight controls too. I honestly thought most plane flights ended with the plane exploding and me parachuting to safety, but apparently you can land them too.
