How can you hate on Klassic Station? Zinyak is great, the music selection is great.

Also it has Mars: The Bringers of War on there. If I could I would make 21/24 boss from Venture Brothers while blasting that.

They should add a DLC that's just a radio station of Zinyak singing songs. I'd pay good money for that.

I think I would have listened to the Klassic station more if there was no Zinyak, actually. The literature stuff was kinda funny the first time and then after that I just wanted to hear some music instead of him going on and on for like five minutes.

My favorite station ended up being K12, I'm not big on dubstep but it fit the setting really well. Promises is my favorite track in the game.

Again, Mixtape. Fill it with all the songs from the Klassic tracklist. Instant no DJ classical experience.

Yeah, while The Mixx does have some really good 80s and 90s tracks, I ended up listening to K12 alot. There's quite a few cyberpunk sounding tracks on there that really fit the setting well.

Yeah, I like K12 a lot, especially with the bizarre DJ choice of Jane Valderamma. Also really liked the Reggae station a lot with Mr Sunshine.

Oh poo poo just isn't a good song. :colbert: In all seriousness it just doesn't flow well during gameplay. There's something to be said when you're flying in a helicopter during sunset and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" comes on or when you're racing through the streets to "Holding Out For a Hero" and likewise when you're gliding in the air and "The Touch" is blasting.

Have... have you never super jumped and DFA'd a flashpoint to perfectly fall in time with them going "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH poo poo! (nuke)" or something? Because that, and pretty much every other movement-related thing you do with the superpowers lines up perfectly with that song. It's almost as good as The Touch for that.

e: Although I would trade that song for a Del/tron song, any song, for while I'm loving around in Steelport.

...why would anybody not want to hear "Oh poo poo" again?

While I admit I wish they would've went with some DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Salt n' Pepa, Digital Underground... it's still a silly, stupid old-school hip hop song and it's fun. I like running around doing stupid poo poo to fun songs.

I could've done without that Aerosmith song on The Mixx though. Having it be part of an Armageddon parody was fine as a one-off gag, but I don't want to hear it on the in-game radio.

Dead Rising 2 made it possible to essentially replicate the Humpty Hump costume exactly. What in Gat's name can't you do that here? If they had DLC that was just early 90s Hip Hop clothes and a "Gas Face" taunt I would snap it up in a second.

I actually really hate hearing her as the DJ, especially for such a good station. Not only does it not fit the music or the mood of the station at all, but Family Guy wore that character voice out before she ever showed up in SR3 (it's not even the same voice actor, but let's be honest, it's still the exact same character).

Fortunately, though, mixtapes.

She's actually more peppy in The Third than she is in 2. Very deadpan with her news reports in 2, but she often gave her last name more of a flourish in that one.

Yeah I miss this. It was funny how deadpan she was about everything. Probably my favorite one is how she bullshitted about cornering the Boss with a question about Killbane when she was really scared as poo poo the Boss was going to kill her.

Haha, I remember that one now. It was unironically better than all the other metal stations put together. One game had Amon Amarth and that was the only decent song, but I forget what.

Krunch had a certain appeal in SR2. It seemed like a good fit in a world where The Brotherhood existed. I rarely turned on the metal station in SRTT.

My biggest disappoinment in SRIV's music is that after having Deftones in 2 and 3, there wasn't any in 4. Virtual Steelport would have been that much more awesome if I could fly around listening to 'Leathers' or 'Swerve City'.

After playing this game I'd like to finally finish SR2 but I only have it on PC and obviously it's pretty awful and crash prone. Gentlemen of of the Row helps a lot but I'm getting really tired of loosing an hour or more of progress when my game decides to crap out on me. Is the PS3 version worth playing?

Also, I have a strange bug where Keith David's third audio log plays every time I load up my SR4 save. Has anyone else gotten this?
