Man, where you guys gettin' all this money for gun upgrades and poo poo? I can barely afford to keep buying new properties, and I just finished The Belgian Problem after having spent everything on businesses and houses. Admittedly I do spend a lot of time tricking out my ride. I turned my Peacemaker into a, uh, "Bukmobile." It's pearlescent neon orange and pink with purple seats, ridiculous rims and neon green undercarriage lights.

I--did poo poo just get real? What damage type do STAG lasers do? Is it Fire, or am I just SOL in the damage reduction department? I almost bit it twice on the mission where they're introduced!

I think my favorite part about this game's writing is that it treats the player as an intelligent viewer. A lesser game would've (minor first mission of act 2 spoilers) had everyone asking what the gently caress was up with Zimos and his autotune box and someone would've had to explain that it was a modded one of those post-tracheostomy voice box devices, but no, the player is an intelligent human being and just has to figure it out on their own by noticing that he puts his pimp cane mic to his throat instead of his mouth.

bear is driving! posted:Driving the Tron car, on my way to hijack a supercomputer, and Machinehead comes on the radio. The game is learning You're tellin' me! When I'm chasing folks, it's William Tell Overture, and when I rolled out the Man-a-pult, it put on Stars and Stripes. And then when I do Guardian Angel or Heli Assault, it gives me Ride of the Valkyries. This loving game Just finished it and Johnny Gat is really dead? Whaaaaaat? The whole time I was waiting for him to pop out and be not dead. And I don't mean like undead =(

After winding down, I realized something about me in relation to playing this game. I only had three states of being: 1) Smiling hugely at the crazy poo poo 2) Jaw dropped at the crazy poo poo 3) Lips pursed tightly in concentration at some challenging part Also my new excuse for why I got this over Skyrim, since all my friends got Skyrim and didn't get SR3, is because (Deckers spoilers) in Skyrim, you use a sword and fight dragons. But in Saints Row 3, you use a sword and fight dragons who have swords. Also you are a dragon

Anatharon posted:Flying a plane is so awesome, as I've only flown a helicopter once in SR 2, for a helicopter defence mission or something. After running away from a bunch of Morning Star guys (I like to think my boss is not a violent criminal but simply the least lucky man in the world. Hahaha. My first experience with a plane was I found some awesome superjet just hangin' out at the airport property that I'd just bought like it weren't no thang, so I pick it up all, "this is gonna be sooooooooo awesome" I reverse it a little, and start rolling forward toward the runway... when all of a sudden wait what the holy poo poo this fucker accelerates way too faaaaaaaa and then my wing hit a hangar and I blew the gently caress up. It was awesome. The Deadly Hume posted:Ahhh I forgot to put the outfit on for the zombie mission (dunno why I'm tagging this, everyone knows there's a zombie mission) especially for that. And for all the non-radio ambient mood music this game had to offer, I am really, really glad that for once since GTA3 (because that was the last game like this I played with a silly classical music station), I played a GTA-like without iTunes running on the side. (Last mission stuff) Going to rescue Shaundi and the Mayor et al was especially amazing for me because I just jumped into the fuckin' drink swimming furiously, zig-zagging the VTOL firelasers, getting chased by SMG-toting Luchadores on Jetskis, stealing one, crashing it onto the trigger shore, jumping back into the water, spotting a Miami speedboat and driving to my ultimate finale. It was... it was art. The White Dragon fucked around with this message at Nov 18, 2011 around 19:42 |

Himuro posted:Three more story missions left. It had a rocky start, but this is the best drat campaign of any crime sandbox game I've ever played. I mean, you don't do as much completely EVIL poo poo as you do in SR2, but gently caress, who CARES. poo poo, I've been telling folks this is the second-best new game I've played in the past ten years. But it's definitely the most hilarious game I've ever played in my entire life.

oldskool posted:Hit a lot of cars. The more cars you hit, the bigger your payout. And make sure to do the ragdoll right before you get hit. Getting hit consecutively by multiple cars has a minor multiplier on it, and ragdolling before you get hit counts as having been hit once already. If you don't ragdoll, you'll be making ~600 for a single hit, but if you ragdoll you'll suddenly be making ~3000-4000+ for your first hit and if you can manage to get hit four, five times, you'll be making at least a hundred thousand (this is of course easier once you have Adrenaline mode on). v not to mention that VTOLs seem to have an infinite carrying capacity!

oldskool posted:He's a one-in-a-hundred spawn, I think. I've only seen him during activities I couldn't attack from like Insurance Fraud I saw a Genki on the side of the road once, I Awesome Button-ed him and curbstomped it as a follow up, then drove off. I shoulda finished the job. And then during the (Luchadores spoilers) mission where you use the RC Possessor, I saw two of them hanging out around the plaza where you take control of that one wrestler's car

VanV posted:We need a gat smilie In Memoriam. I am still really pissed off about that. And after everyone goes through the trouble of buying one, Saints Row 4 rolls out all "oh yeah that WAS the Saints Row Movie, none of that actually happened" Actually after Saints Row 3, I can see some ridiculous military tech being used to bring him back just so you can have The Gat in the inevitable and apparently already-being-made sequel

Hey this is Saints Row 2 stuff and therefore only tangentially related to SR3, but I enjoyed this game so much that I bought SR2 on Steam. I'm running Windows 7, and whenever I hit New Game, it says that it's loading for a split second before booting me back to the main menu screen. Is this a known problem?

Rocketlex posted:I managed to clear the Let's Pretend survival challenge this way, even though an emergency call to Oleg for backup was necessary. First survival challenge I actually completed. The hardest Survival challenge I ever had... actually no. I kinda fudged it, but it would've been the hardest. It was something like nine rounds of Morningstar, which put me off from doing Survival for almost the rest of the entire game because I didn't want to deal with ten to fifteen minutes of that poo poo ever again. The trigger point was right outside the second crib, and the limit extended into the garage. I grabbed my Bear APC and just chilled out shooting whatever drove down into the tunnel.

Mo_Steel posted:Does anyone else have trouble controlling motorcycles in this game? They feel like ultra-touchy death machines. They handle kinda lovely on the turns, but it's only really noticeable in the rain. I prefer a car, but if it's a fast one, I'll take a motorcycle over an Emu or a Sovereign any day.

Mordaedil posted:Pro-tip: Mayhem is actually about blowing up fences. I took these words to heart when I was playing SR2 yesterday. And then I racked up $800,000 of damage in under a minute as the police gently nudged me through the fences. It was a very "FENCE KILLA 2011 gently caress YES" kind of moment. And then I tried it in Saints Row 3, where there are fences loving everywhere, and I was like "how can a fella find this hard?"

I want to believe that both endings are canon. Like how folks are coming around saying, "The REAL Boss woulda done both!" Well as it turns out when SR4 rolls around, yup, you did.

Killsion posted:Probobly Zimos himself, or the auctioneers, and the logical idea would be that when drugged someone is significantly less prone to resistance. Hell, the Boss is having a lot of trouble even when the mission starts. Isn't there dialog that plays during the loading screen? I didn't catch what was said.

DeusModus posted:I like the pistols a bunch, the Shepards are useful for the obvious reason, but I like the Kobras for their AP rounds as well. It's been said before, but the Kobras would be largely my exclusive weapons if the suppressors weren't on them. I personally like the suppressors, makes me feel like I'm playin' Alpha Protocol or someshit.

Samurai Sanders posted:Wow, as far as games where you shoot people go, I can't think of a game less like SR3 than Alpha Protocol. I don't know why you would want to feel like you're playing one when you are playing the other. Well y'know it's less the "I am AGENT THROTON" and more "I am The Boss, but that doesn't mean I can't be a suave muthafucka with a superspy gun." Dual wielding a superspy gun with a flashlight on it

Pleads posted:Be warned that playing SR2 will show you Johnny Gat being a hardcore motherfucker, and so you will join the rest of us in feeling a little disappointment at his early exit in 3. I was actually kind of disappointed that Johnny Gat wasn't a chillax wisecrackin' badass instead of a hard motherfucker, because that's what SR3 led me to believe.
