I do like that I can still take melee damage, so I still gotta think when some brute comes blasting out of nowhere to knock me off of my feet. I can definitely see why you don't like having them sitting in your upgrade menu when the completionist urge is on you - I've got "city takeover" sitting unchecked in my upgrades and it's driving me batty.

I turned on the god-mode cheats (infinite life, ammo, clips, etc) for most of SR2, and I can't imagine that it degraded my experience in any way. Mostly because I'd developed a love affair with satchel charges and liked to work up close. That said, I'm going to attempt to tackle SR3 ENTIRELY CHEAT FREE... and then just start all over with everything enabled. Meanwhile, I've developed a strong abiding hatred for those zippy Decker chicks, based solely on that one time one of them taunted me with the prospect of getting beat up/killed by a girl. My boss is female. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY TO ME, WOMAN!? Now, to veer in a completely different direction. Ever since I discovered that you can barrel through pedestrians when you sprint, I've been experiencing a bad case of gameplay overlap with Prototype, in which I find myself wondering what button lets me eat a cop and gain his form so I can get the fuzz off my back. But I can't, and that makes me sad. Do I ask to much? Do I?

I guess maybe some people don't use the AB Destroyer plane for doing some of the assassination missions. Those people are WRONG. Doing the one where you've got to take out a guy who's down on the docks at the location for a Morningstar gang operation like that is hilarious. Also, I've completed all the available saintsbook assassinations including what seemed like the last one where you have to take a helicopter to a skyscraper and kill a guy who was asking you to do some earlier ones but when I look at the stats in game, it says that there are still a few more to go - do some unlock later in the story or at higher respect levels?

Just beat the game and holy loving poo poo. What a great game it was (and is). Also, watching the credits for VA names, loving Steven Blum managed to have a voice in the game, that sneaky son of a bitch. Where, you might ask? He's the loving Zombie Boss voice's actor. At least I didn't recognize him!  The Deadly Hume posted:Sometimes I do think, gee it'd be nice if I could fling up out of this car in a parachute and then grapple up some tower... Here they are! Some of them might be extremely minorly spoilerific (names of late game weapons/vehicles), so if you're worried about that sort of thing, well don't click.

I just remembered an activity from SR2 I'm sort of sad they took out: demolition derby. It wasn't super complex or anything in 2 but it was fun to upgrade the cars and satisfying when you finally won. I think that it would have been a blast with the new car physics. Oh well. I'm sure it's one of those things that just takes too much time to implement and I guess I'd rather not have it at all then have a lovely version of it.

On my second and third playthroughs I made sure to do the airport trafficking activities as soon as I could for the unlimited ammo Ultimax. That gets you pretty close to being unstoppable without cheating and still leaving a few bits where you're actually in danger.

More stuff gets added to Saintsbook as you progress. Although you can complete challenges before they show up, which confused me until I realised why the number it said I'd completed didn't match up with the list.

Was doing an Insurance Fraud activity and much to my annoyance, Morningstar started a full scale battle against the police at the junction I was at. This would have been entertaining if their cars didn't block all the traffic I was trying to get hit by.

I think you're missing the bigger picture here, and that's karate kicking helicopters until they explode. I'm guessing that they also took out the "ride around on an ATV while setting everything on fire" activity? Tragedy.

I really want to answer something like that with beating a roller girl to death with my enormous 100%-sex-appeal-slider breasts.

There are 2 assassinations from a character you haven't met yet. Those will be added once you have. It's story, you can't miss it.

My Russian boss, Katya Bottlavodka, had nice pert 35 sex appeal. Later upped to 45 to fill out the dapper jacket I found for her. I guess I must be the only player to turn the slider to the left. Mentioning the AB destroyer reminds me that I only used that thing once when I first found it. What a game this is, where I'm so distracted with amazing toys that a goddamn A-10 Thunderbolt gets forgotten. This game. This loving game. The hardest part about playing SR:TT next time will be deciding what to unlock. Do I do all the diversions so that I get cool toys to use in the story missions? Or do I do story missions to unlock cool toys to help with the activities? Oh god, too much pressure, what do I do?  Game of the year.

Not that I could do much with that... in fact, I gave my boss a breast reduction surgery because I found that she wasn't significantly androgynous enough (it's them hips). But then again, I can't imagine that being pummeled with a ribcage is a load of fun times for anyone, either. And while we're on the subject, am I the only one who's sorely disappointed that the jiggle physics were only implemented for female sex appeal? Honestly, now.

Cardboard Box posted:Yeah, and I can understand that, it's just for me if I don't have any danger whatsoever, I quickly get bored. That seems to be the general consensus. The challenge is exhilarating, don't get me wrong, but I'm still having a blast with my Level 50 Boss who's completely invulnerable to everything but a stray punch. Fighting for your life is fun, but so is dancing in the middle of a street while Hell comes crashing down around you, everything's exploding and everybody's shooting you. I like casually running up to guys and whacking them in the crotch with a purple dildo as entire SWAT teams are sent in to try to kill me in vain. Level 50 invulnerability is pretty much the post-game, collecting poo poo build. It's when your game has run its course, you just want to 100% it and either quit or build a new character. Or it's for when you just want to boot the game up and dick around without having to worry about the inconvenience of dying.

It's really strange that the game industry hasn't collectively told the ESRB to go gently caress itself. I can't think of any benefits to having it around. Does Steam even require ESRB ratings? It looks like none of Valve's own games list a rating, so they could have at least left the dong-slapping goodness in the PC version.

Semi-offtopic but people have mentioned not liking the racing missions in the previous 2 games a couple times in this thread. In Saints Row, and 2, the secret to racing is to get a very lovely car. Get a crappy little sedan or whatever, and then upgrade it to the max. When you start the race in that car, everyone else will also have lovely cars, except your lovely car is awesome. If you take a sports car, everyone else gets sports cars too. I wanna say I used Voxels for this, which the Rollerz also used tricked out, so you know they must be dumb cars.

Oh my god satchel charges are lovely. They seem so tame compared to everything else in the game, but once again if you're creative and cruel you can have a ton of fun with them.
