Starhawk64 posted:While I was a little upset that it's a separate weapon so none of my upgrades to the original were applied, it's worth it just for the ability to kill peds and aliens with polka and classical music. I wonder if it would be possible for them to let the user pick the song for the dubstep gun. Like, just pick an MP3 off my machine and use that.

Emong posted:On the Saints Row Mods forum one of the devs explained that for every song they had to manually mark all the beats/wubs/whatever to get the gun's shots to sync up, so probably not possible. You know what? I'm okay with that. I'm just grateful they didn't brush off the question.  (But if it was possible for users to mark up songs and submit them to the Rock Band people, maybe...) VVVV I forgot about copyright issues.

Roach Warehouse posted:I enjoy listening to the Classical station and The Mix, but drat the latter seems to play The Touch so much less than all the other songs. The one down-side of listening to the Mix a lot is that when the songs get used in missions, it's a little less special, because you already know the song exists in the game.

Lyer posted:E: I think the tracks play in a specific order, at least with the mixtape stuff. So that might be a reason why it sounds really limited. I don't think the radio stations play in a specific order. I know there are bits of DJ patter that sometimes get used and sometimes don't, so it's not all predetermined.

Tamir Lenk posted:I did not mind the big shifts in that story since Keith David's super-homie outfit is a Lando Calrissian costume. He made a deal with Zinyak, Zinyak altered the deal, Keith returns to side of the Saints. Not to mention the cut scene ending with "You sound just like Julius . . . " It might be mixing references a little, but I wish the thugs beating you up in front of Keith had been using some electricity-based weapon.

This was my first Saints Row game, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. So much so that I'm thinking about buying the third game and giving it a shot. Is that a bad idea? I know that most of the key story parts from previous games have shown up in the fourth game, but is the third game the same kind of fun as the fourth is? (From the discussion here, I gather that the second game is more about being a criminal psychopath, and I'd much rather stay in the puckish rogue area.)

I'm past the 50% mark in Saints Row the Third and there are so many things about SRIV that make sense now. I feel a little bad that I never really paid attention to cars and motorcycles once I got super-jump and super-sprint. Really love both these games so much. (Although I'm a little uneasy about the SR3 mission where it kinda seems like you're stealing women destined for sex slavery and using them for your own sex-slavery purposes. I tell myself that they come to work for me willingly, and I pay them well with good benefits and vacation time.)

I'm still working my way (slowly) through SR3, and I need confirmation that I didn't hallucinate this: during the mission where you steal a STAG VTOL, the theme song from the Venture Brothers played. Did that actually happen?

Action Tortoise posted:I think his only purpose besides introducing Escort activities is to explain Luchadore stuff to players who didn't know before playing the game, which anybody could have done in a cutscene or voiceover. I just used Angel as my support for a survival-waves mission, and he mainly used a rifle. He did bodyslam one dude, but I was disappointed he didn't behave more like the brute homies you can get, throwing cars around and stuff like that.

Tiggum posted:Yep. It's because A) The acquisition of the drugs is similar to real life, in that the drug dealers you kill for them are hanging around on the street, B) You use the drugs as part of gameplay, and C) They have beneficial effects. Naturally the concern is that this will encourage people to use drugs in real life, because it's pretty much a pro-drugs advertisement, right? Wow. I'm sure it's been said, but it's just like the Comics Code that comic books used to have to deal with. No showing anybody doing something bad without also showing them being punished, et cetera.

Differo Cathedra posted:Yes. There are a ton of references to The Third in 4 so it would be definitely worth going back through the that game. Best to do it before you get too spoiled by the awesome superpowers. I had never played SR3 until after I'd played through SR4 once, and I wish I'd played the third game first. There's so much in the fourth that makes more sense after you've played the third.

Tiggum posted:You may as well blame yourself for turning the page in a book. Pretend that Boromir lives as long as you never read The Two Towers. It's nonsense, the book's written, the story plays out the same way whether you personally read it or not. I think video games are a little different. Even though the storyline and your actions may be predetermined by the developers, you have to actually click the buttons to "make things happen". It's not the same as turning pages in a book, because you can't turn a book's pages "wrong". With a game, you're taking the role of the character who's actually doing things, instead of just following the story of characters who do things. There's a Hitchcock movie that I can't remember the name of ( ) where a lady is murdered and the camera is shooting over the shoulder of the murderer. It's an unusual perspective for a film, and I've seen a reviewer describe it as "making the viewer complicit in the murder". That's not the same kind of thing (the film is going to play without your taking any action), but it's similar.

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.)

It's a good thing I mostly listen to podcasts in the car these days. If SR3 is any indicator, I would be thoroughly imprisoned if I were ever driving and the William Tell Overture started up. It's "gotta go fast" music in its purest form.

Finished the storyline missions in SR2: very satisfying. Now back to SR3; how long do you have to wait for day to become night? Some people on the Internet are saying that it will never change, but maybe they're just talking about the console version.

I'm trying to drive as much as possible in my current game, but it's so satisfying when you fire-blast a flashpoint when you've got the exploding-on-death upgrade. You can one-shot them a surprising amount of the time. And virus injections are a party of exploding baddies.

Tiggum posted:Unrelated, I was doing some challenges today and started trying to do the inflato-ray challenge, but found that for some reason it seems to massively increase notoriety with every kill. You can kill maybe half a dozen people before the warden shows up. It seems really weird, because it makes an already unwieldy weapon even less usable. I'm going to have to try this -- I still haven't gotten an individual character the "kill wardens" challenge. Tiggum posted:Also, anyone know what the "super-kick" challenge is? I've apparently super-kicked the required ten vehicles, but not ten enemies, and I have no idea how to do it. I thought maybe the quick melee attack (F key), but that doesn't seem to increase my count, and I'm pretty sure I never did that to any cars. I can't figure out how I'm supposed to do that one. I first got the super-kicking-cars thing by accident, when I would try (and fail) to stop before I hit the cars. But I'm almost certain the F key does in fact work for the super-kick challenge. I think the achievement is for super-kicking ten aliens, not just any enemies. Virus-injection enemies might work, but plain old people and cops don't.
