I am assuming this question probably gets asked a lot, but I found SR3 to be rather bland and I had a hard time finishing it. Is it a big deal if I skip it and go straight to SR4?

These people are wrong, SR1 is great. Clunky, but great. It's like a love letter to GTA3, made on the 360.

SR1 is weird because when it came out, it was the only GTA-like game in existence on a next-gen console. Love letter to GTA3 is very accurate, right down to the (mostly) silent protagonist. I even played the multiplayer and it was great fun because nothing else like it existed at the time. R.I.P. Pistol Whip Syndicate

I'm just gonna suck it up and give SR3 another shot. I didn't hate it, it just didn't grab me. I mainly wanted to jump into SR4 because of all the love it was getting in the City of Heroes thread of all places.

On an unrelated note, when I join Co-op games on the 360, it tells me that "my NAT is not set to Open" and that might prevent me from joining some games. What the hell does that mean? I am very computer-illiterate.

I haven't had an xbox in a while but I'm pretty sure you can change your NAT setting somewhere in the 360 options. The choices are Strict, Moderate, and Open.

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.

Even the Decker missions and the finale? :ohdear:

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"

Yeah, I gotta say that the combination of no missions, no radio, no clothing, no homies makes this a no-buy for me too. I'll buy it if my friends sound like they're having enough fun with it or if it goes on sale, but otherwise I'm afraid I'm gonna skip it. Sorry, Volition.

This, combined with the fact that I already thought I purchased the game but now I guess I didn't, has soured me on the experience as a whole. The only reason I even know there was a gently caress-up is because I read this thread.

Does that mod do anything with grenades by any chance? The INSERT mapping in Sandbox+ is mapping the normally unused offhand grenade functions. Perhaps something in that other mod is triggering it.

For the record I have the same problem as that guy. I'm using Sandbox+ as part of a compilation mod pack. I ended up deleting the custom keybind file.

Finally getting around to finishing Saints Row 4 now that Gat Outta Hell is out. Just a few more main missions to go. Gat's voice reminds me so much of Chris Moltisanti from Sopranos. Are the co-op challenges any fun? They are taunting me all over my map.

Ah man, that was such a cool mission too. How did you end up with a poo poo version?

I got it for free in the gifting thread so I can't really complain. I did buy the season pass though. I'm watching the mission on Youtube right now, it's great. Wish I could have played it.

Does that mean my version is low violence? I'm really curious what regular violence is like then.

Also, while looking for something similar to KBOOM from Saints Row 1, I stumbled upon the Holy loving Grail. This youtube playlist contains every funny radio commercial from basically every open world crime game that contains funny radio commercials. I didn't realize I wanted this but I love it. Ironically it does not contain KBOOM.

I finally got into Saints Row 2 after a few false starts before. Also it helps that you dont have to use Powertools anymore to fix that speedup bug, which was hitting me hard. Since then I've put over 20 hours into it and I've barely touched the story missions. To be fair, around 3 of those hours was trying to get level 6 snatch for the SMG ammo. So much bullshit kept happening. Another two hours spent trying to figure out how basejumping works and constantly dying on my way to and from the airport. loving awesome game.

In Saints Row 2, get the stripper pole in the Red Light Loft. Stand outside of your door and a steady stream of strippers will walk out. The first time I noticed it, a total of five strippers came out at once despite the room being empty moments before. Then some naked chick came over and shook her tits at us, then ran off.

edit: I just found the minibike



P.S. its very hard to do a wheelie, rotate the camera, and hit Print Screen at the same time

I managed to get it stuck this way:

2/3rds of the way through Saints Row 2, and I get all the praise for it. It's missing a few things from 3, but overall there's no comparison. 2 is just way, way better.

It's basically Joker Simulator (from Batman) because pretty much everything the boss does would be completely in character for the Joker.

It was like a Family Guy joke that didn't really land, but instead of just moving on to the next joke, it goes on for like two minutes. Any joke that starts with a meme and ends with a song parody is just dead in the water as far as I'm concerned. Really the only reason it's notable is because its the only joke that made me cringe, other than maybe the forced singing with the Boss and Pierce during an early car ride. I guess what I really hate is people singing songs in stupid voices and that being the punchline.
