Thanks to Lyte Edge and Sceneman for the co-op last night. I've got about 2 hours logged in the game, and 1.5 hours of that is in co-op!

What a great game. It feels more challenging than SR2 -- at least, I don't think I died much in SR2 at all, and here I've been swarmed by the territory defense survival missions. I've survived only 1 of the 4 I've tried...

Hey, Lyte Edge, can you pop into my world again next time you see me on, and order up a car?

Apparently, in co-op, when you ordered a car in my world before I'd unlocked it, it breaks something.

Right now, I've got no way to make Homie: Vehicle Delivery show up, because he's not even in my phone, though I bought him ages ago. I've got the other delivery guys, but not the basic one. :'(

Edit: Actually, reading further, it appears that ANYONE joining my game and using Vehicle Delivery will restore that Homie to my phone. Which makes a lot more sense, actually.

Got 800/1000 yesterday. Steelport is mine. I'll go for the rest when I have my own copy.

I don't understand why the achievement didn't register when I beat the game and did the 2nd ending instead though. I got disconnected from XBL and reconnected during that mission. Could that be the cause?

It worked! It worked while you were in the game, but I was still worried about firing up the game this morning. There was Homie: Vehicle Delivery, still at the top of my phone, ready to go. Thanks a bunch.

Considering one of the Chop Shop missions is for a street-sweeper, I'm going to enjoy just having that guy bring it out to the place for me. HAHAHAHAH!

chronovore · « **Reply #610 on:** December 24, 2011, 05:10:14 AM »

It gets better and better.

I just finished playing through ALL the Activities in SaintsBook. Vehicle Surfing isn't my thing, but everything else was pretty fun. I even enjoyed the treasure hunt for 50 Hostages Taken, looking for cars with multiple passengers, etc. I think I got all but 6 or 8 of 40+ Activities just during normal play; super fun.

cool breeze · « **Reply #611 on:** December 24, 2011, 05:13:48 AM »

I only played two missions. I spend 4 hours fucking around and doing assassinations.

I mean, you can fly an A-10 the instant you land in the city, and the private jet is called the "Snipes 57" (always bet on black). Plus everything feels really good now. Driving, shooting, flying. And it looks a lot better than SR2. Adn the the awesome button deserves a nobel prize.

retrospect is really making a strong case for why SR3 is GOTY.... but then i look at the Skyrim juggernaut and how much good stuff is packed into 90hours. the sheer volume. it doesnt have the highs SR3 had but it had far more good stuff overall.

Himu · « **Reply #627 on:** December 29, 2011, 03:47:04 PM »

SR3 had the most highs out of any game this year and probably this generation. If it had the same amount of detail and features SR2 had, it'd probably be gotg. SR4 will be a force to be reckoned with.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #628 on:** December 29, 2011, 11:55:09 PM »

Some of the missions in SR3 just have that "holy shit, this is AWESOME" thing going for them... the "power" sequence in the high rise invasion, the opening mission in the plane and jumping out, the rescue/fight Kilbane mission, the gimp chariot race after rescuing Zimos, etc. What Skyrim has going for it in comparison is that it's really, really, REALLY chock full of fun shit to do everywhere. Not a lot of cool exploration and discovery going on in SR3 unfortunately.

That's why I want to steal cars from parachuting. Would be sick as hell.

I also want the SR series to steal the magnet from Mercs 2 so I can pick up a car and take it to the tallest building and try to race down that bitch.

some of the things you guys are mentioning can be done in Just Cause 2. you can hijack planes in midair, jump on the roof and surf it into another plane.

if somehow you got Volition and Avalanche to make Just Cause 3, that would be incredible. JC2 and SR3 are the most fun open world games.

Robo · « **Reply #639 on:** December 30, 2011, 01:42:51 PM »

Fall damage is pretty wonky in general. There doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between how far you can jump and not take any damage and how far will kill you instantly. That perk is mandatory.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #640 on:** December 30, 2011, 02:18:53 PM »

okay, before I kill someone, how the FUCK do you start a Diversion in a taxi or ambulance? I'm almost done with my second playthrough and had no idea you could do this ... what button do you push?! I've looked in the keybindings, online, etc. - have no clue.

SR2 has taxi and ambulance. SR3 doesn't.

chronovore · « **Reply #644 on:** December 30, 2011, 07:34:25 PM »

I'll probably be labeled a blasphemer for this, but The Saboteur handled character ability unlocks better than SR3. In that game, you have to unlock the ability before it becomes available for purchase, instead of just being Experience Level related. The catch is, each of the bronze/silver/gold Abilities in Saboteur are unlocked by doing something which the next ability would make significantly easier. I'm not remembering the exact progression, but it might have been "Get 20 headshots" for "Reduced recoil on sniper rifle," whereas the next stage may be "Get 5 headshots in 15 seconds" for "Sniper rifle reload time is halved."

SR2 gave automatic, free unlocks for doing specific tasks. e.g. "no falling damage if you nail a BASE Jump perfectly" -- it was actually closer to the model where progress is related to what you've done, not just how much you've done and how much money you've got.

OTOH, Saboteur ran out of unlockables and ways to spend my money well before I was ever finished with the campaign...

the season pass is 1600 MSP, covers 3 DLC packs, and claims a saving of 33%. So if you do the math, the 3 DLC's will sell for 800MSP each if you buy them individually. Seems like a good deal to me, as I plan on getting all DLC.
