What a random fucking game.

I went from driving a car made of giant fast food items off a cliff into a fountain to running around a pirate ship hucking chairs at someone to kicking a guy dressed as a hotdog in the balls and then stabbing him in the chest with a samurai sword to make sure he wouldnt come back.

Even though it's hardly my genre of choice, and they fucked up on the radio stations a bit, I still want to try this one for shits and giggles. Doubt it will beat MM9 as my GOTY though!

This game is awesome.

I made a fat black chick that kid of looks like Wesley Willis, and I gave her a facial expression where one of her eyes are halfway closed and she has huge super droopy boobs.

She sports granny panties and I gave her a man's voice.

So I co-op for like 2 hours last night. Did some car surfing, got the achievement.

Went clothes shopping, as my friend was shopping, I threw a box at the clerk and then killed her so the cops came and shot my friend while he was shopping while I took off on a scooter which I then somehow managed to wheelie in to a lake.

Then we play the shit spraying mini game, and the mini game where you protect a celebrity which was WOWSOME.

Does the shit spraying game change for co op?

What is the real name of the celeb one?

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #73 on:** October 15, 2008, 11:11:03 AM »

OK, in single player you just get one cannon. I was wondering if they made one guy the driver or something.

As for the other one, are you talking about the one where you're hooking up some celeb with a hooker while you drive? Or is there one where you're actually a bodyguard?

I love the tazer in this game. It sprays out a line of electricity about 10 feet and anyone that gets hit falls on the ground and shrieks and spasms for about ten seconds. It's great for just randomly attacking people.

Why can't it be better than GTA4?

It's not whether it could've been better or not, any game can be better than GTA, wtf, but it either ends up being or not. Saint's Row isn't better than GTA. And no, being more batshit with some of the stuff it does doesn't make it better.

But again, some of you have some sort of problem with GTA that i don't understand.

The ORIGINAL Saints Row is better than GTAIV

come on

Why Saints Row 2 is better than GTA IV - Part 1:

* The intro mission is better

* The Graphics are better

* The fact I can create a character - one I can jerk off to, no less

* My main character has more personality than Niko Bellic

* The fighting is better

* The controls are better

* A hooker chased me with a can of mace

* The superior weapon selection wheel is still here

btw, I've only played Saints Row 2 for 10 minutes

cool breeze · « **Reply #82 on:** October 15, 2008, 06:09:55 PM »

The only part I would disagree with is the graphics. Saints Row 2 pretty much destroys everything else in GTA4.

Also, for co-op, apparently it keeps a checklist on what missions you beat in co-op mode, so I imagine you can just hop in and out and do those at your leisure

You can buy up the businesses in any territory you control

You get a discount and you earn money every day for having it. $200 for shitty places, $500 for high end places, it looks like. $5k or $10k a pop.

cool breeze · « **Reply #89 on:** October 15, 2008, 06:44:32 PM »

Is there a way to increase your stamina? I did an activity that increased my health regeneration, so I'm guessing there is one for Stamina also. It would really help out.

I am just about done with the Brotherhood. Each faction seems longer this time around.

demi · « **Reply #90 on:** October 15, 2008, 06:45:43 PM »

This game looks so good. Why would you think GTA looks better? smh

I just did the Septic Avenger activity. That's so awesome.

demi · « **Reply #91 on:** October 15, 2008, 06:46:06 PM »

Stamina increased in Saints Row 1 when you found the hidden spraytags, I imagine its the same here

Some guy just tried to join my game... lol. NOPE

pilonv1 · « **Reply #92 on:** October 15, 2008, 06:47:09 PM »

I had a security guard chase me with a can of mace (or something) which set me on fire. So I ran into him and he caught on fire and we both rolled around on the ground screaming

cool breeze · « **Reply #93 on:** October 15, 2008, 06:48:16 PM »

I found 11 spray tags so far and nothing changed with the Stamina. The stealing ho's mission got me the health upgrade.

And the only weapon I need in this game is the revolver. It's headshot after headshot. IGN is distinguished mentally-challenged for thinking people wouldn't want this aiming system.

There's a certain amount in each gang's territory, there was like 25 per gang in the first one. The upgrades happened when you completed a gang's territory

I'm sure people are gonna scan the guide's maps so I'm not gonna collect stuff

busting out of jail is like the best intro mission ever. you've just mowed down half the police force, hijacked a boat, trashed choppers and police cruisers, and then you stand there on the shore while the island burns thinking "okay. let's get down to business."

that mission does rule. I shot a cop with a shotgun INTO the car he'd just gotten out of, and we drove off with his body scraping along the ground until I took a corner and he slid off

I like the brittish accent for the main character but I think it would start getting annoying so I'm going back and making an angry negroid.

I keep the aussie accent if only for "the fuck you say?". You could always change it at the cosmetic surgery place.

And I don't know how anyone could say the intro to GTA4 is as good as this.

First ~5 hours of GTA 4: Drive around in a taxi and use the internet
First ~ 50 minutes of Saints Row 2: Break out of prison, break out your friend at a courthouse, beat up some homeless people and steal their place.

Has anyone done Co-Op? How does it follow progress? Do you just go off whoever's save is loaded at the time? I'm thinking I should keep a save at the very beginning so I can go to it and jump straight to whichever gang I need to get through, and another as my main.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #112 on:** October 15, 2008, 08:56:05 PM »

Co op rocks.

It is based on the hosts city.

If a player picks up a CD or gets a tag, both players get it. If someone makes a bookmark on the map, both see it, but only he can delete it.

If you buy a new apartment you get newspaper clippings that let you replay any mission in the game.

demi · « **Reply #113 on:** October 15, 2008, 09:01:50 PM »

Ahhh you can replay missions, that's what I want to hear. Great!

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #114 on:** October 15, 2008, 09:04:05 PM »

The quickest/cheapest way to get the newspaper board is to buy the college dorm place north of the university.

The Mix is probably the best single radio station in these types of games since GTA3. Vice City still has my favorite music round up, but it was split across multiple stations. GTA4 literally only had about 2 or 3 songs I listened to, and to make matters worse I didn't have custom sound tracks since it was on the PS3.

I have The Mix playing 90% of the time, but I sometimes witch to Generation X since it reminds me of all the times I got a ride with a friend and had to listen to his music.
