Yeah I'm unlocking stuff in weird order too. I think it's because I'm doing side missions more than the main story...I unlocked "unlimited sprint" before I unlocked "sprint uses less stamina".

With the newest patch I lost the Merica gun, but wound up with several other extra guns that I didn't have yet, including the bounce gun and an alien machine gun, along with every version of the pistols, shotgun and rifle. Weird.

It wouldn't be hard to do, at least for the Inauguration Station stuff as that's all still actually in the game but was just never added to any store inventories so there's no way for the player to access it. If you know what the item ids are you can do it yourself on PC, I've been going through myself and doing it (I have a list at home and some people on IdolNinja's site have been listing missing items as well). Since a lot of the missing items are mundane things like hoodies I figured it was an oversight.

I do hope some of the SR3 things make a comeback too, I'm pretty sure I saw something on Idol's site that said they already had permission from Volition to port assets once the SDK is available. I looked at the SR3 wardrobe yesterday and a lot of little things like a proper shirt and tie were missing from SRIV.

I assume that's what happened with the Subterfuge trenchcoat? I need a proper trenchcoat for my Boss, and it's available in the Inauguration Station, but doesn't seem to be at any of the 3 types of clothing shops in the game. Is it possible to upload my character from the actual SR4 game and add the trenchcoat in the Inauguration Station, then download it back to the game? Or can I make a whole new character look, download it, and change the look of my guy in game without starting over again?

I've had all sorts of weird error messages uploading and downloading. :(

Okay, I'm on Asha's loyalty mission where she's driving around and I'm shooting bad guys (Training Day)...problem is, there are no longer and bad guys, and she's just driving around slow as hell, in random directions, away from the blue triangle.

Anyone have this bug out before? Or is just a long rear end mission?

edit* okay, after 15 minutes of Driving Simulator 2000 I reset the mission. Definitely bugged.

Weapon question - I've always used the Alien RPG because the ammo for the regular rocket launcher is so drat expensive. I just hit 50, and now can unlock unlimited ammo for everything - Is the standard rocket launcher better than the Alien RPG?

Something I learned playing this, if you don't like the store hacking mini-game avoid doing it as much as possible because the difficulty goes up with each one you do. I did store hacking to build up my cash flow early until it started getting a little tough, then I started getting missions where I had to store hack and they were a lot harder than if I hadn't driven the difficulty up so much.

I thought most of them were pretty easy, but there were 2 or 3 that I ended up screen shotting and loading up in paint.

Quick question: Is it possible to burn through all the side missions in one long go or does the game let you get to a certain point, the make you do some story missions, then let you go again?

It stops you at a certain point. That's how I've been playing - do all available side missions, move on to story mode, repeat.

This has made the game pretty much easy mode...I've been rank 50 for a bit and just finished the mission where you find out Keith David betrays you. The real world missions are simple with infinite ammo + fully upgraded SMGS that stun.

I don't know if it's the normal price, but since this is the first Saints Row game I played it made me want to go back and play 3 and maybe 2, bought them both off Amazon (Steam keys) for about $10.50...The 3rd full package is $7.50, shows regular price $49.99

I, on the other hand, cna no longer imagine playing a game like this with a controller. I bought a Razr Naga mouse with the 1-12 buttons on the side, and that makes swapping weapons/powers trivial. :)

In my playthrough, I found running and general moving around (exploration, Blazin, platforming, etc) to be vastly easier on a 360 controller where my finger doesn't die from constantly holding down shift, while anything combat related was easier on the kb+m. I just switched back and forth between them depending on what I was doing, and the game didn't have any issues with that. Win-win.

Yep, I did that initially too until I rebound sprint to "0" which is button 10 on the lower left side of my Naga. :)

It seems no matter what way I aim, I hit a wall almost immediately and die. I'm seriously on try number 30 and I can't even get past Kinzie talking to explain what I'm supposed to be doing

I just had a weird thing happen in the Nyte Blayde mission where you have to follow him in the car. After the first ambush, he kinda broke and started driving randomly around the city like any other car, completely obeying traffic rules. I just kept following and assumed it was an intentional glitch for whatever reason and assumed the Boss would say something about it being boring and just kept doing it for about 5 minutes. Then he glitched out again when he was supposed to fight us and he just stood there invincible.. Glad that poo poo is over.

Same thing happened to me on Asha's loyalty mission. It took me 20 minutes of slow, legal driving before I restarted the mission.

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.

I am anal-retentive about running out of ammunition, so I spend most of the game using head shots with pistols.

(Until I get the AR-55, when I go for head shots with an assault rifle.)

I was super careful with my ammunition too when I played the game...I primarily used the alien rocket launcher for it's infinite ammo. Then I began to realize I was barely using ammunition anyway, and most of my damage was being done by powers.

And I leveled up pretty quickly because I did all side missions first before progressing through the story...I think I was at level 50 with infinite ammo about halfway through the story.
