I mainly used satchels for blowing up trains in SR2, and the only ones in SR3 were already blown up  .Oh well, maybe with Saints Row Goes Forth...

TheGreatGildersneeze posted:As far as I can tell the actual restriction is travelling at speed. You don't get the bonus for creeping along like grandma; you get it for hauling rear end like a bad rear end. Also a while back I said I wished there was a way to make takedowns an insta-kill; well it turns out if you do a take down with the Apoca-Fists it does in fact make takedowns one-hit kills. Running around killing STAG using only takedowns is great.

I have to say if there's anything SR3 did perfectly, it was making me really like Pierce. He was ok in SR2 as the vehicle for a funny ongoing joke, but the guy's a total bro in 3. He's chill, he gets things done, and he gets many of the best lines. And his voice actor is really great. I've been replaying a bit and the quietly hopeful way he says "You want some clothes or something?" just cracks me up. (Whyyyy can't we replay missions or cutscenes? >:[ ) Along with all the friendly banter he has with Boss (I'm not like that, shut up!), Shaundi (I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin), and Oleg (You did that on purpose). Pierce is no Johnny but he's still pretty great.

In some limp-wristed eco friendly mass transit system? Or in a supercharged, infinite nitrous shot, oversized spoilered, purple iridescent and 24 karat gold sports car with about 400 mufflers that guzzles 36 gallons per mile city, 34 highway while blasting the stereo at near deafening volumes?

People just like trains. On a base level, they're a nice attention to detail, but it's also a lot of fun (at least for me) to hop on top of them and ride them around the city. Also, blowing them off the tracks is always a good time.

I feel like I'm the only person who was disappointed in choosing the satchels the first time around, though that might be because the mollusk launcher is basically the same thing. And while the satchels may be throwable while driving, I'd prefer to be tossing molotovs.

Justice posted: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.

Don't know if it's the same on a PC, but on a Mac you can drag pictures from the character viewer and map onto the desktop and do what you want with them from there.

Found this little nugget on the SR3 wiki. "At this time, the only way to estimate is to look at the screenshots and compare the dimensions to the height of the main character. Assuming that the main character is about 180 cm tall, the very approximate dimensions of the ship would be about 180 x 210 meters (590 x 690 feet), give or take at least 10%."

Why the hell did they make the first 7 or 8 missions of this so boring? I've hardly played this since launch because it seemed like the game was taking a long time to do nothing then BAM, naked giants everywhere. What a dumb design choice to not have the game kick in for about 2 hours.

I'm a fan of (most of) the activities, but giving you nothing but them in sequence was a total slog. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of less dedicated players stopped playing there.

TheGreatGildersneeze posted:What is peoples' obsession with trains? Was there something I missed about them in SR2? Something insanely cool, or something? Because seriously, I don't think I even noticed they existed until people started being all broken hearted over their loss. Was there even a mission that involved them? Can't remember. I think you maybe have to blow one up at some point? The only thing I really remember about them is that one wiped me out when I decided to drive on the tracks. That was amusing, but I'm hardly weeping at the loss. Quasipox posted:I saved a picture and it saved as some weird format, but it opened in the Windows default picture viewer.

The trains represent our secret desire to return to the happier times of childhood, because who didn't try to make dynamite with the innards of leftover fireworks and try to blow up their train set?

gently caress trains, has anyone else seen any other boats on the waterways of Steelport, or planes taking off and landing at the airport? Beside the bafflingly huge law enforcement fleet that comes steaming in out of nowhere if you happen to sneeze on someone. I used to like how busy those two areas of Stilwater were in 2, and it added a bit more life to the city. Also, loading a friend up with satchel charges and having them dropkick people right as you set them off is the best thing.

If there's anything that the game is missing, it's firetrucks with working hoses, and sewage trucks. I'm surprised that neither of these are in SR3, honestly.

I never did beat SR2. I went back after playing SR3 and goddamn this game is kicking my rear end. In SR3 I was nigh invincible, almost never ran out of ammo, and loaded with money. In SR2 I feel really poor, ammo is crazy expensive and so spare I feel like I'm playing Resident Evil, and my homes and I are going into the red constantly (especially the monster truck battle ) I don't think I died once in all of SR3. I'm really missing those upgrades right about now. Maybe SR3 made me into a big baby because this game is frustrating me a little bit, and I don't remember it pissing me off before, in fact I thought it was great (except for that stupud samurai sword battle, I still have no idea how to win that) I can totally understand why people like it better, though, the world of SR2 is huge compared to SR3's. Also there is a lot of poo poo that they took out. I miss spinners, being able to wear shirts tucked in or unbuttoned or whatever, goofy facial expressions, etc. The storyline is also pretty dark compared to SR3. Male voice 1 in SR3 is pretty goddamn funny, in SR2 he is dead loving serious and pretty pissed off (also along the way he somehow stopped being Hispanic, explain that one.) As far as voices go, all three games are sorely lacking a stereotypical New York Italian, though. If you're making a goofy gangster game, I dunno how you can leave that out.

MinionOfCthulhu posted:Having missed out on SR2, would it be worth getting into after I finish SR3? I mean, does it still hold up and whatnot? There are a ton of gameplay improvements in SR3 and you'll be screaming at the lack of awesome button and sprinting takedowns, but you'll be doing yourself an injustice if you don't see the plot at least once. It'll help you understand why people have problems with the first third of SR3 and why we're all sad about Gat being killed off so quickly, so yeah, pick it up and power through it. There's a lot to love in that game. Personally I don't think I'd be able to go back to it now, but that's because I've played through it about 6 times and have clocked up an ungodly amount of hours playing it. SR3 is doing the same thing to me all over again

That why I have a bunch of saves, so if I make a new boss, I probably do the missions up until you meet the brute, upload the boss at Planet Saints, and then skip ahead to the save I have before doing the Powder Room (replacing my old save character with the one I was using), then finally skip ahead to the mission where Zimos sneaks you into the Safe Word.
