I'm not sure which is more fun, putting together silly outfits/looks, or grabbing any car from the street and putting it into the garage to see just what kind of modifications can be done to them.

I found this turd of a car and put it in the garage to see what kind of monstrosity I could turn it into.

Moments later, I learned that anything is possible.



It still drives like a turd, though. Even with all of the torque upgrades.

If we're presenting our pride and joys of our garages, here are my favourite rides:

A Wasabi Wazakashi I modified to look like a Subaru Impreza

A Nyteblade inspired Blade

A Murdered out Infeugo

And, of course, the four-wheeled nigh-destroyable wrecking ball I called the Saints Lockdown Dragster Edition

You can rack up mad cash early game by powersliding. Not that money is an issue at a certain point in the game, but I found a Torch and pimped it out and started powersliding just loving around, noticed you get 80 bucks for a full three second slide.

You're thinking of a burnout. Also, how the gently caress do I get 12/12 burnouts? I've sat there for like 5 minutes burning out and I've tried doing 12 in a row but I get to like 4 or 5 somehow then can't get anymore. Or I crash into a gang member when I peel out and get shot at, so I have to restart.

Oh you're right, I was thinking of a burnout. I don't know how to get 12/12 either, they go up quickly at first then it seems like no matter how long you turn, the total doesn't move up at all.

So I know somebody was unhappy with train tracks being in the game and saying it was a symptom of rushed development since there was no train that went along it.

... well, I'm in one of my many other playthroughs and I was flying around on my hoverbike at the beginning (Thank you, Money Shot~) and I came across a broken down, hosed up train while I was flying above the track in sunset park.

There's your train!

They mentioned the trains were wrecked on the side.

You can also call in a SWAT team and turn in the Lockdown that shows up if you choose the right option at the end of the zombie mission. At least, that's what I did.

Women need not always keep their mouths shut and their wombs open.

So I took a leap of faith and bought Saints Row 3 of intkeys, and it worked out well. I have to say, this is by far the most satisfying and enjoyable game I have bought all year and I wish I didn't buy Skyrim.

I just wish there was a way to remake characters without replaying the intro, picking zombie voice as the first character I made was a wicked bad mistake.

Does the script change with each voice you pick or is it just different voice actors?

You can go to the plastic surgeon at any point and pay a flat fee of $500 ($450 if you own the building) to completely rebuild every aspect of your character, including the voice.

Dialogue during cutscenes doesn't change per voice, but in-game dialogue, like when you're on the phone, does.

That's. Really loving cool. I suddenly need to find one of those.
Wasabis are apparently the ricemobiles of Steelport.

The Blade is pretty awesome. Definitely favorite car in the game by far.
Aside from the monstrosity that I posted, I have to make my cars/characters be thematically correct. It's all about being fashionable.


VVVVVVV -- That breaks my heart. I was co-opping with another Goon the other night when we were talking about the VAs in the game. Namely Hulk Hogan. I mentioned that this game would have been perfect with the Savage, before he died. I don't mind Killbane's current VA, but Randy Savage would have pretty much turned this game from pure gold, into being a flawless loving diamond.

I can't see Killbane with any other voice than the one he has already. Hulk's ridiculous, sure, but Killbane's voice just oozes self-absorbed vanity and overconfidence.

His VA is Rick Wasserman aka Thor from the Avengers cartoon.

And just in case you want Killbane's voice acting to sound broken to you every time you hear it (like it is for me): the lead designer envisioned Killbane being VA'd by Randy Savage, who declined to be in SRTT for personal reasons.

I KNEW IT

That would have been too much awesome for a single game, though.

Also people were talking about how big of a dick Killbane was but he didn't feel like that big of a threat to me.

I did find it strange that Kinzie mentions stopping some kind of evil organization from selling something and the boss is like "alright" when the Saints are already an evil organization that stole Loa Dust and, instead of doing the 'right thing' and getting rid of it, used it to turn a profit for themselves. Seemed kind of out of character, until you save some slaves who are going to be forced into prostitution... so you can force them into prostitution for your own business. That's my boss~

Yeah, I found this out today by accident and goddrat does it make that activity... okay, only slightly more tolerable. I guess it's a trade-off, since you can no longer just go to a Forgive & Forget to shake your notoriety between drop-offs, nor can you even use your phone for any homie ability.

Also that burnout thing, I never noticed that people cheer you on for that. So many little details in this game... it's actually pretty funny that GTA IV was praised by pretentious critics for being a "living, breathing city" because it had little things like people occasionally finishing your "Shave and a Haircut" honks, but then Saints Row: The Third puts so many other details in and they work every time. Saints Row 2's car singalongs were a better incidental detail than anything in GTA IV or its expansions.

I agree, I liked the character but he felt like SR3's version of Maero - somebody to gently caress with and throw down with but not somebody driving you insane as your ultimate antagonist.

At the end of the game, I really didn't feel like the choice offered was any choice at all. Why should I care that Killbane was skipping town if I had to choose killing him over saving Shaundi and Viola? I feel they failed to really create the need/desire to take down Killbane no matter what. I'd already humiliated and broken him, what did I care if he ran away with his tail between his legs?
