Big ups for the secret of leaving the car/radio running
You're all welcome!

ATTN: VOLITION. While I'm loving being the hero that goons were holding out for ( ), perhaps this would have been a useful tooltip at the beginning! Coulda been easy to work in to Pierce's early mission where you drive around and buy poo poo.

Boss: Man, I hate it when we have to make a stop in the middle of my favorite song. It's always over by the time I get back in the car!

Pierce: You know, you could just leave the car running when you get out.

Boss (feeling stupid as usual): *ahem* er, uh, what, and get the car stolen or something?

Pierce: Who's gonna steal this piece of poo poo?

Boss: Well, we did, didn't we?

Pierce: Man, just shut up and drive.

Sometimes the shark gun can be glitched. I was playing with someone else on here a few days ago, and he totally used it on a scaffolding around the statue on the last mission. Shark came out of a couple inches' thickness of plywood and chomped a dude.
I said to myself,

"Saints Row.

Saints Row."

As the final mission came straight after zombie attack I had just been trying out my new zombie horde homies. When I went into the final mission obviously going to save Shaundi as with that music who could possibly do anything else, the zombies caught up with me as I was rampaging up the statue to disarm the bombs. There I was zombies tearing apart STAG troopers, Holding Out for a Hero spurring me on, while I rushed to save my homies. I swear, I actually had tears in my eyes due to how loving awesome the entire moment was. In the most miserable loving year of my entire life, this game, which was basically the only thing I had to look forward to for the last few months, actually delivered on its promise in spades and gave me the most perfect moment of escape.

Game of the year alright.

Nothing quite like calling for a helicopter, then standing there watching it try to land on a light pole over and over.

Also, is it confirmed that the game is skipping cut scenes, or did they just do a lovely job on fleshing those out?

They handle kinda lovely on the turns, but it's only really noticeable in the rain. I prefer a car, but if it's a fast one, I'll take a motorcycle over an Emu or a Sovereign any day.

They turn really well, but very twitchy when you want to make small adjustments. It's still better than what it was in SR2 though.

People will laugh at youand call you an idiot for wearing a furry costume. It hits too close to home

vv Agreed. The zombie horde is hilarious, they'll attack EVERYONE and you get like 6 of them piling out of a schoolbus. I actually made the wrong choice because I read the options incorrectly but I couldn't be happier with the reward.

My friend chose that option, and I took the other one. I co-op'd with him last night, and there was one homie that simply wouldn't go down. A fat lady in a red sweater. She got blown up, set on fire, shot, ran over, dropped in the river, you name it. Also we hijacked a tank and drove halfway across town and she kept up

So even though I didn't pick that choice, I'd say you're a winner either way.

I pretty much travel everywhere on a bike, oncoming lane doing stopies and wheelies and mad drifts. Had no problems! With a controller tho.

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.

The gently caress you say?

Next thing you'll be saying you can leave a car when it's not moving at high speed!

Do homies ever shoot down helicopters? I've been doing a few survival things and it doesn't seem like any of the people I bring along ever even shoot at the drat things.

So what the earliest mission you can co-op with a partner? Will partnering with a later character in the first mission cause your guy not to be wearing the Johnny Gat costume?

They just did an incredibly poor job. I love the story missions, but the game suffers from what Uncharted 3 did, which is they clearly had a lot of setpieces in mind before they thought of how to connect them, and in SR3 it feels like they ran out of time to flesh some things out.

As my TV died this week, and won't be repaired until next Tuesday, any chance of me getting a list of what "non-customizatible" cars and the like CAN be customized via exploit shown in the OP?


A shame that the Crusader can't be altered, but the only thing I'd want on that aside from gold spinners and some purple, is a loving Hover option.

Normally I'd use the search feature and see what people are saying about Hardcore, but given the search index isn't enabled for this subforum, I figure I'd just ask: Should I be playing on Normal? I generally play games at the difficulty above normal because it seems 'just right' but there are a few games where this rule doesn't really work so well. Is this one of them?

The game can be pretty brutal at times on normal, especially when the big guns roll out. Thankfully you can game the system a bit to get stuff you normally shouldn't (you can get a heavy tank fairly early on in the game if you play your cards right)

Normal is a nice balance between enemies that aren't cannon fodder but aren't likely to take you down singlehandedly.

Can someone tell me what counts as a muscle car in this game? I admit I had to look up the definition, but I'm still not sure which car to steal. I'm trying to complete assassinations and right now I'm on Gerrard. I just spent the last 10 minutes jumping in cars in front of the gas station and getting out when the target doesn't show up.

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.
Boss: Okay, stop talking.


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?

Fem voice 1 on this is a bit different, she sounds like Kinzie's older sister/best friend trying to get her laid. The last line is something like "Not even close to the same thing, Kinzie"

Fem 1 and Male 1 are the best voices. Like someone said earlier, they're just big kids who want to see as much stupid/funny/hosed up poo poo happen as humanly possible. I love the trip to Safeword with Pierce where the boss makes him uncomfortable suggesting he'd be into kinky poo poo and when he's all "Stop talking about this" the boss is all "Hah, you totally would!"
