Holy poo poo. I just finished both endings, and this was without a doubt the most fun I've had from a game in years. It starts out crazy, and somehow manages to keep getting crazier. Over the top? The top is the bottom as far as SR3 is concerned. There's so much stuff that left me with a huge  look while playing I can't even list them all. My first sight of a Gatmobile, the reveal of the Mayor (and being able to get him as a homie), all the meta-gaming stuff and the Transformers noise when the F-69 switches flight modes were among the standouts, though. As was getting a police car as my first garaged vehicle and immediately modding it to be hot pink, which ended up being the theme for my Boss.Loved the whole thing from start to finish, and am now on a bit of a downer that it's over. Still, 30 solid hours of gameplay over a weekend is pretty drat good going. Hopefully there's some good DLC story stuff on the way.

Anyone else had the clock stop? I'm on PS3, and since finishing the game it seems to have become eternal night in Steelport. I also had the game lock up on the final stage of a zombie wave mission, which was kind of a pisser considering the sheer number you have to kill. Mind you, the screen was full of exploding vehicles and burning swarms at the time (I was using the fully upgraded SMGs with infinite incendiary bullets), so maybe the CPU finally decided it had had enough. SR3: too much awesome for even the Cell to handle.

For the first time in as long as I can remember I'm now replaying a game immediately after completing it. Just so I can do it as my SA avatar. "Hello, I'm Peter Graves, and I'll be sending you home in a loving box. Thank you. I'm Peter Graves."

skoolmunkee posted:Homies or random gang members? My random guys shoot at them but only sometimes. When there's no other immediate threats I think. However, one time a gang member did grab an RPG and brought down a couple helicopters with it. I can't remember if my homies have or not. Bad guys grab RPGs too - I had a cop start shooting rockets at me after I'd killed a bunch of gang members. Unfortunately (for him), he took cover behind a car and then tried to fire at me through it. It didn't end well. Does the glitch to customise non-customisable vehicles not work on PS3? I've tried it repeatedly, but the cancel action just, well, cancels. I want a hot pink tank, dammit!

50 Foot Ant posted:It's hard to articulate what I mean beyond the simple: It's fun. SR3 is the most pure concentrated fun I've had playing a videogame for years, because it has a simple, straightforward goal that it succeeds at 100%: making sure you are never, ever bored. Compare the first few missions of SR3 to GTA4. The latter has you 1: driving a car to a point on the map, 2: driving a car to a point on the map and then escaping from another car, 3: driving a car to a point on the map and buying some clothes. The former... well, you know. Yes, occasionally you might get annoyed or frustrated (Trail Blazing can get hosed), but boredom isn't going to be an issue. It took me 35 hours over three days to complete the main storyline (both ways), and I had a terrific time for every one of those hours. And then I started playing it again with a different Boss so I could take the alternate story choices. I can't even remember the last time I began an immediate replay of an entire game.

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.

Killsion posted:I hate Kanye West, and I hate the song Power. I'm a bit of a music snob so hearing 21st Century Schizoid Man getting butchered was appalling... But god drat it works here. Kind of disappointing that you can't use songs on your hard drive to make a mixtape, though. Most of the in-game stuff is fairly godawful, but then I'm an old fart who'd never heard a Kanye West song before so I would say that. The best talk radio show in any game is Pressing Issues With Maurice Chavez from Vice City, so maybe they knew they couldn't compete.

The final Cyber Blazing mission was driving me mad until I realised that you don't actually have to hit the tanks for them to count, just pass them. I think hitting them gives you extra time, but as long as you only hit a couple of firewalls at most that's not a problem. What makes the whole event weird is that you're not moving nearly as fast as you think. You have to tune out the zooming chaser lights along the tunnel and just focus on the obstacles.
