SAINTS ROW THE THIRD |OFF| GOTY, HOES, PENIS, GIMPS, LUCHADORES, ORALE!!!!

[Robo]

Argh.  So how am I supposed to jump the raised bridge with a street sweeper?  I even nitrous'd that bitch and it wasn't even close.

I guess there's a way to drive around?  I'll have to look at the map again next time I play.

[pilonv1]

Final mission is just total

[Sho Nuff]

Bad ending >>>>> Good ending

[pilonv1]

Going to have to go back and do that now

[Sho Nuff]

It's a good 30-45 minutes longer than the good ending too! Shit's mad gangsta yo

[The Sceneman]

Finally decided to beat the game after I realized I won't be able to do some of the phone activities with the restricted area still on.   How am I supposed to jump a raised bridge with a street sweeper?

Anyway, I never got that weird squid weapon.  Where is that thing?

tbh man, you might be fucked

I did all my chop shop missions early on thankfully.

Squid weapon is part of Prof. Genki pre-order pack. It's funny, but useless

[pilonv1]

I knew Sonjay Dutt did the mocap for this game but I didn't know Rob Van Dam was in it.

[Himu]

I'm curious whether or not Volition is going to make bad ending canon. Because

I can't see my boss abandoning saints just to get another shot at a pussy like Killbane. But at the same time, establishing a city state? Saints as fuck.

Go down the bridge. Also, go to rim jobs and customize it so you get more speed.

I think The Trouble With Clones will bring back Johnny Gat, as the Morning Star attempt to clone Gat.

[Positive Touch]

just stayed up way tOo late finishing this.  final stats: 96% missions completed, 73% activities completed, 24% hoods controlled (do gang members disappear after i wipe out all their territory?), 94% collectibles found.  FUCK YES will finish it up later this week.  amazing game, the years best, and once again sr raises the bar REALLY FUCKING HIGH.  i cant even think of any other open world game in development with a campaign as over-the-top insane creative as sr3's.  A TRUE CLASSIC

[The Sceneman]

finally was bothered to grind out all 26 survival missions and get my 1000/1000. Woohoo. Now back to Dark Souls

[pilonv1]

Wow the other ending is so much more fun.

Do those get easier? I have tried four of them, and died four times.

[Himu]

Yes, they get easier. I can beat a survival mission with ease now. You eventually can get a way to become literally invincible. Bullets, fire, explosions, no ragdoll, nothing faces you except melee.

[chronovore]

 

Sounds good!

[Himu]

Also, upgrade your weapons. Seriously. Pro-tip, the default weapons tend to be better overall than the "better" weapons due to their level 4 ammo upgrades.

[chronovore]

I've got Level-4 dual-wield pistolas, but the last time I tried to go party in a survival mission, I accidentally had equipped my level-2 cop pistols. 

[Human Snorenado]

Level 4 SMG (dual wield, natch) is the best way to beat survival missions.  Shooting everybody and setting them on fire is just super efficient.

[Robo]

The game isn't very good at balancing the difficulty.  "Hard" doesn't really mean hard, it means it's nearly fucking impossible at the beginning, and stupidly easy near the end.  They throw a lot of stuff at you right away that you probably shouldn't be tackling until you get a good chunk of cash and start beefing up your character, but that's not immediately obvious.  They don't fuck around with the upgrades in this game; you always get more out of them than what you pay for.  It breaks the game in the end.

[AdmiralViscen]

Just started, fucking awesome already. Can I change my taunts and stuff later?

[Himu]

yes

[Sho Nuff]

I played through as British Guy, will do Russian Mafia Queen next

except the game doesnt force you to upgrade, and it clearly explains what each upgrade does.  if youre fine with how tough it is, dont upgrade; if its too hard or some certain thing keeps killing you, upgrade!  works perfectly

[pilonv1]

Biggest problem with that is that it also sets your homies on fire. Sucks when you have to babysit them through some tight corridors.

Whoever said that punching cars with the Apoco Fist is fun was so right. The only thing I couldn't destroy with it was a tank.

Has anyone else used the city takeover bonus? I want to use it because there's one gang operations at the very south of the middle island that I cannot find.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I am TOTALLY okay with SR3 allowing me to break it like I am suplexing a tiny baby. if you are not go play Dodonpachi

That's when you switch to your explosive ammo pistols that make people fly into space when you shoot them.

Oh I agree, absolutely.  The game breaking comment was more to illustrate just how substantial the upgrades are.

[Positive Touch]

its basically like letting you earn cheats

so awesome


also i just got the "bad" ending and fuck yes that was awesome.  GOD I LOVE THIS GAME.  saints row 4 needs to let you pilot a metal gear that can nuke neighborhoods

also i wish there was a powerup that would let you turn yourself into a missle as you sped toward the ground in freefall

That's Batman: Arkham City.

Should be a vehicle upgrade after nitrous. Like an upgraded windshield cannon, similar to the Flatout games.

lol, they get easier when you buy upgrades so you dont take any damage from bullets and explosions, and have an infinite ammo rocket launcher 

[Sho Nuff]

I'm stupid, where do I unlock the bullets that set people on fire

[Great Rumbler]

I'm stupid, where do I unlock the bullets that set people on fire

The gun store.

[Human Snorenado]

Gotta upgrade your initial SMG all the way to level four.  Fortunately, SMG and pistols are the cheapest to upgrade I'm pretty sure so it shouldn't take you too long.

edit: yeah, and you upgrade at Friendly Fire.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

The gun store.

a lot of weapons have SUPER OP L4 upgrades. I used the L4 dual pistols pretty much the entire game, because RAGDOLLIN

[Sho Nuff]

Oh FFS. I haven't even gone into a Friendly Fire, I just kept upgrading my SMG's and assumed that was it.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Oh FFS. I haven't even gone into a Friendly Fire, I just kept upgrading my SMG's and assumed that was it.

how ... are you upgrading your gun without going into a Friendly Fire

[The Sceneman]

you can upgrade the amount of ammo you carry in your phone upgrade menu, and reload speed. Thats prob what he means?

[pilonv1]

I didn't know you could upgrade the weapons either till about 10 hours in. It really does make the game so much easier later on.

[The Sceneman]

when you first get to Steelport, you go to Friendly Fire and are made to upgrade a pistol as one of the mission objectives...

its not like the game hides it!

[Sho Nuff]

I'm lazy!

Yeah. Except when you and I did that mission in co-op, you were jabbering and I didn't even know it was an upgrade task. I just bought ammo and left. If I'd left it there, I'd be in the same boat as Sho Nuff.

[Himu]

lmao

[drew]

level 4 fire spewing sub gun is overrated

[Himu]

No it's not. blows up choppers in a few shots. almost as good as explosion pistols.

[Robo]

Outside of maxed-out rocket launcher with infinite ammo, dual-wield level 4 default SMG and pistols are the best anti-personnel and anti-air weapons in the game, without question.

Level 4 police shotgun might be the best against Brutes.  I never noticed anything else to be exceptionally effective against those (rocket launcher excluded).

[Positive Touch]

more shit i'd like to see in sr4:

split-screen coop:  not sure how well this'd work in an open world game but im old school & i like my split screen dammit

real boss fights: its time for these games to move past bosses that act just like any other npc.  i want to see some epic shit that requires you to figure out the best way to use your toys to find a bosses weakpoint

no more choices: obviously.  game woulda been even better if you could get all the bonuses and didnt have to chose between two different but satisfying decisions.   i want it all!

fast transport:  i almost made a joke on here about missing taxis, but then i realized that i actually did miss the way theyd warp you around liberty city.  you should at least have been able to warp between cribs in sr3.

bring back mission replays, of course

and thats all i can think of right now

[Himu]

BRING BACK FUZZ.

It's nothing. I'm just saying the notification was tiny, lacked emphasis, and was very easy to miss.

[The Sceneman]

yeah, fair point.

TBH it probably would have made more sense to include the weapon upgrades within the phone menu, as many other weapon-centric upgrades are included there.

And I did go out of my way several times just to check out the weapon upgardes, to see if they were worth buying over shit in the phone

[chronovore]

Yeah, either that, or put the weapon stuff all at Friendly Fire.

[Human Snorenado]

Just got both endings.

I guess it's the "bad" ending where you let Shaundi die or whatever, but I liked it better.  Taking down a flying fortress and then claiming the city?  Fuck yeah!

THOSE HOES AINT HOES!

[benjipwns]

From OneLetter on GAF:

Here are those stats in English that we shared yesterday from approximately the first two weeks of data.

- More than 2 million people have been bludgeoned to death by the Penetrator so far.

- 5.8 BILLION citizens of Steelport have met their demise while roaming around town. That's 19 times the population of the US, or 85% of the population of the world.

- Players have spent a cumulative 2 years in their birthday suits streaking the streets of Steelport and making old ladies scream.

- In Whored Mode, 44 million pimps, gimps, and prostitutes have been dispatched (Note: This does not include mascots, or question mark assassins).

- 650 hot dog mascots have been overcooked to death by players using flamethrowers.
