Fintilgin posted:Also, 'defend this spot' missions are so much easier when you can instantly summon a mega-tank around yourself. For my second playthrough, I did all the Hotspots, Flashpoints and Security Deletions in an alien VTOL and all the Virus Injections in an alien tank. The only problem was that it gave me yet another reason to wish wardens weren't a thing, since you have to get out to fight them.

Action Tortoise posted:Use Fire Buff during those segments. They'll ignite and flail around igniting their friends. Sure, but they don't necessarily get out of the control area while they're on fire, and it seems that any non-dead enemy on the "hill" platform resets whatever timer you need to hit. (This is also why you can't use TK to pick them up and throw them away; you end up pulling them towards yourself before you throw.)

There's two versions of the 'king of the hill' segment, and I found that they both needed different treatments. Them being in the ring while you are won't change it going up, but them being in there when you're not does I think bring the meter down. The one in Medium difficulty against the Genki Girls is best dealt with by telekinesis; just being really productive about keeping them out that way will end it pretty quickly, although of course keeping that up requires a couple upgrades to Telekinesis. The Hard one agains thte Vice Kings just asks you to make them stop hitting you, so Ice Blast/Buff, or any Stomp will do the trick.

So Shadow Warrior comes out on Steam in 2 days. What does that have to do with Saints Row IV? Well if you own Saints Row IV you get this: “I’m sorry I can’t really hear you over the sound of all that money being thrown at screens around the world,” said Fork Parker, Devolver Digital CFO. “And I don’t know what to tell you other than you can now wield a giant purple dildo from Saints Row IV in Shadow Warrior. There’s your headline, nerds.” http://www.devolverdigital.com/blog/view/devolver-digital-and-deep-silver-bring-more-wang-to

This one is my favorite strategy because even though I had the highest level of Fire Resistance in the game my Boss would still flail around as if she was affected by the flames (is that supposed to happen or is that another bug in my copy?) so the King of the Hill parts become a clusterfuck where everyone on that little space including me is running around setting other people on fire. I think it's effective, I've shaved off a lot of time doing that.

I am having the hardest time getting Gold on the Julius fight club. It seems to take me way too long on the part where you have to kill 18 dudes. Is it best to just stand in one place and let them come to you? I know there are exploding barrels, but it still takes me forever to kill everyone. The first part is easy, the king of the hill is simple (just TK throw the dudes at each other), and the boss is simple (Can be insta-killed with shrink stomp then run over), but getting the 18 killed quick is just driving me nuts.

Finally finished Saints Row the Third. Was a terrible slog the whole time. I liked everything except the actual missions. For all the complaints about GTAIV being basically "go here and kill dudes" that was essentially every mission in this game.

SynthOrange posted:Even the Decker missions and the finale? Ok yeah the Decker missions were pretty sweet, I almost forgot about those. The finale was the worst part actually. You fight a shitload of dudes then a tank shows up and instantly downs Pierce, and then you die trying to help him up. Repeat three loving times. I ended up cheesing it by going back to the crib and grabbing a VTOL. Actually you're probably referring to the other finale. Plotwise it was great but gameplay-wise it was terrible. The enemies still shot you while you ran around pressing Y on things. Then a 'boss fight' that is yet another trope of "do the same exact thing three times" SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Sep 25, 2013 |

Regarding "breaking" the game with VTOLs and whatnot, that's one of the things that has always been in Saints Row and is part of what makes it so fun to play. GTA tends to corral you into a certain area, time limit, and car to use for missions. Saints Row lets you call in a bunch of homies and a tank if you want to. Rarely do you have a mission where you lose by moving away from the area you are "supposed" to be in, even. Absolutely one of the series' best features in my opinion. Saints Row: even the missions are customizable.

Eventually I said gently caress it and used everything I had at my disposal in my contact list. It's good to be the boss.

Rarely do you have a mission where you lose by moving away from the area you are "supposed" to be in, even. Absolutely one of the series' best features in my opinion. Yeah, that's what I love about this game. All sandbox games' missions are quite restrictive in what you're supposed to do. An objective pops up on screen and a dot appears on your map to tell you where to go and what to do. Even Saints' Row does this because there's too much crap that could go wrong if the objective is too vague or the open-world structure makes it harder to figure out your location than games with smaller levels. Saints' Row is great about it because it tells you what to do and leaves you to figure out how to do it. Sleeping Dogs has forensic investigation missions which sound interesting but all you do is follow the blips on the map where the bodies are and press a button to interact. I failed a mission in GTA V because I detached a semi's cargo all because it would ruin the following cutscene. The only times SR restricts you in missions is when you're doing something gimmicky like a turret segment or freefalling and dodging obstacles. Even the activities are open enough to player experimentation. The Blazin' missions' time limits have enough breathing room so that in case you mess up your path you can still right yourself and get gold. Miss a checkpoint in Flight School in GTA and you get a five-second penalty. The towers are designed to let you run up anywhere or just jump off and summon a VTOl like it's some super robot anime. I always hijack one of those hovertanks when I'm doing Virus Injection to avoid damage. Saints' Row allows emergent gameplay in its missions and doesn't punish the player for re-interpreting the rules. signalnoise posted:With SR3 I took the truck that they told you to use in the final mission and tried my damnedest to get the thing to loving work.

My favourite bits of Blazin' were when the GPS told you to go along a particular route but you could actually just leap into the air and fly a shorter path directly to the next checkpoint.
