He's like my bestest buddy and ALWAYS grayed out in my phone for multiple missions now. And on that one mission with Kinzie where we went and... did something, I forget - it was obvious Oleg was supposed to be with me because we were driving his specific car and when the mission loaded he was there for a second then blinked out. It's like he's dead or something. wtf Oxxidation posted:Is there any way to tweak the controls so that LT and RT adjust the helicopter's altitude? The default scheme is horrible.  Glad I'm not the only one. SR2 had helicopters down perfect and they went and screwed it all up. The least they should have done was made a toggle-able EASY/ADVANCED/SR2 mode in options.

I've been playing through the game with the Fem1 voice and god drat does that VA do a great job. She captures the "gleeful sociopath" character so well. "I LOVE meeting new people!"

I just accidentally shot one of them and after he pounded me into the ground he hasn't come back available, nor has the helicopter I called to get back to where I was when I died. It's been like thirty minutes, and I can't see this game making you wait that long for anything to cooldown. Is that why the "Get rid of Gang Notoriety" hotline keeps going out of service?

JackMackerel posted:And I missed buying food and chowing down on donuts or Sum Yung Gai. This a thousand times. Having to choose between putting weapons or healing items on your hotkeys was a really cool feature of SR2, and having a doughnut in your pocket to save your rear end at a crucial time was always nice (even if getting at it with keyboard-and-mouse controls required you to have three loving hands). I have this weird, irrational love of games that let your protagonist eat things, I guess.

Nah, I think I just don't eat enough, so when I get hungry I want to play video games where you eat things. Why the gently caress am I sharing this? Moving on, Gang Activity locations are buggy as hell and it's pissing me off. Specifically, you have to get close enough for it to "activate" before you can kill everyone, which means I can't nuke them from 300 yards with my helicopter.

I don't know if anyone else has seen it yet, but there are occasionally old ladies that will berate you and eventually push you over if you stand around. I had one of these while I was doing clothes-shopping, so all of a sudden I see my character literally fall out of the shop-interface. Saints Row is one of those special games where the bugs kind of add to a weird sense of endearment. I wish there were more insurance-fraud missions just because I ran into some amazing collision issues that turned my guy into slenderman when he hit a wall.

I just 100%ed the game with about 30 and change hours of playtime. Some thoughts: -Needs to be a way to turn off tips. Yes game, I did notice that there's an upgrade store. How do you think I bought all those upgrades I ALREADY HAVE? -I like the upgrade that shows collectables on the minimap. It makes it actually possible to find them on your own without just putting them all on the main map. You still have to hunt for them, but at least you'll be able to find those ones tucked away in caves you can't see. -I don't know why everyone keeps saying mission X or activity Y are so hard. I never had any trouble with Heli Assault or Three Way using a gamepad the whole time. Are you not getting the health/damage resist upgrades? I thought the game had a nice balance of difficulty on normal. Better than in SR2 which swung wildly between trivially easy and frustratingly hard. -The city has a bunch of unique buildings which you can't go into at all. In fact the only non-crib building I found that you can enter is Smiling Jack's cafe. What's the deal with the Gothedral? It's just... there. You never go in there for a mission or anything. I wish there were more explorable interior spaces like the science center or rec center in SR2 (these were all strongholds but the fact that you could still go inside when not on that specific mission was nice). I never found a mall either despite the radio talking about one. -I miss being able to dial phone numbers you saw throughout the city. I guess that had to be cut for time/budget reasons. -Ending spoilers: I agree that "Stag Film" is most likely the canonical ending. It felt more like a proper ending to the game rather than the other one where it was like "Now you're movie stars!". It was nice that you can still call up Shaundi as a homie for post-game stuff even though she's technically dead - I hate when sandbox games cut things off for you because you had the gall to advance the plot. -Best homie conversation in the game: Kinzie: I like your hair. Viola: What? Kinzie: Your hair. It's shiny. Viola: Uh... thanks? You know if you WASHED your hair it would look nice too. Kinzie: Can you show me how? Viola: Um.... sure? Kinzie: We're like sisters now. It's just so gosh darn

Kinzie is the most character alive and I want to put her in a little lunchbox and shoot her into space where she can live happily as a star shining eternally in the night. I like the conversations she has with Oleg if you call them both as homies. Seriously, if you want to see more characterisation when you're dicking around in the city, call different combonations of homies. They've usually all got specific lines for each other.

Songbearer posted:Kinzie is the most Yeah, I love that they did this - I felt like it really sucked that none of your homies in SR2 acknowledged each other's existence at all. It's like really? Don't you think that Gat and Troy might have a few things to say to each other? So it's nice that they'll actually talk to each other this time around, even if it's only one conversation per pair (and not every pair has one - oddly enough Pierce and Shaundi don't).

Arrgh, why did I have to start reading this thread, I can not be allowed to get excited about this game right now. It's just sitting in Steam, uninstalled, and its pretty important that I don't install it right now. Otherwise I am going to blow through the bandwidth cap and pay even more for my lack of self control.

What amazes me is the chemistry in that scene when you consider those two VA's must have recorded their lines separately, given that there are seven possible boss voice tracks and I don't think Pierce's changes. For a game about dildo bats and suplexing furries, it can pull some real artistry on you at a moment's notice.

I've probably hated every GTA game since vice city cause I could never get into it, but godamn this game is fun. I don't even know why, maybe because I can collect every single vehicle I want, buy the whole city, and bludgeon people to death with a big dildo. This is the sandbox game I've been waiting for.

I need to play the game again with a female boss anyway so it's all good. One thing though. Are there any more masks in the game? I know you can get Killbane's and I heard you unlock a gasmask. What missions is that? I'm on mission 31/47 and so long as I can still have the gangs and stag around when I unlock it I'll blitz the missions 'till I get it.
