I've been playing some SR2 for the first time. It's fun so far but I think I prefer the balls out craziness of 3. I do like the sheer amount of content though, there's so much shit to do all the time it's almost overwhelming. Can't wait to get my hands on IV in a couple weeks

Yeah, I really need to go ahead and install SR2 and try the Gentlemen Of The Row mod. It's supposed to do wonders for the PC version. Makes sense that Volition is now working with that modder officially.

Review of customization options: there's not many new things to customize with in SR4 compared to 3 and it's still limited compared to 1 and 2. Overall, the lack of new personality poses was disappointing. I think there's like maybe 6 new ones total. Disappointing. On the flipside, there's A LOT of new hair options and shoes. There's a distinct lack of afro hair options beyond typical afros. I was hoping for

or

But c'est la vie, and what they have in there already is mostly great. I like the chiseled fro. Don't remember it in 3 but it looks great.

But the new POMPADOUR

is full on Janelle Monae. Last time in The Third, I stuck with the regular pomp and it's cool but it's not Janelle. But this new one! Omg!

The new shoes are great! SHOES!

Clothes still mostly suck, and there's barely any new ones since the Third, but the new ones ARE pretty good but still too many hoodies. Good news is that one of the new Saints hoodies is great and I'll be rocking that sometime in my game.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #198 on:** August 06, 2013, 09:14:18 PM »

how the fuck is this supposed to work? SR3 says there's an existing THQ ID i need to login with and won't let me use anything else. i clearly don't remember the password so whatevs... I got to saintsrow.com and request a password reset... i receive no email.

so i got to THQ website and try there and it says it doesnt recognize the username... what? then what is it referencing in SR3?

If you're lucky and get a booster pack no one else is selling you can usually make a few $$s on it as well. I sold an unopened Skulls of the Shogun one for about $4 during the sale. This week I got a Gratuitous Space Battles one which was going for about 70c unopened.

Raban · « **Reply #212 on:** August 10, 2013, 12:46:50 PM »

Joe, your brilliant idea has inspired me. I'm up to $7 doing what you did, and I still have a LOT of games left to idle. I hope I get a good foil, too!

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #213 on:** August 10, 2013, 02:17:55 PM »

Once you've got the max # of card drops for a game, there's no point in leaving it idling, right? Or can it still benefit you somehow?

Rufus · « **Reply #215 on:** August 10, 2013, 04:37:05 PM »

I think you can earn more drops in F2P games by spending money in them, but there's no point to idle for any other type once you have all the drops. You do have a chance to get booster packs though, but you don't need to be playing the game or even have it installed.
Boosters drop randomly as people in the community craft badges, so I assume the games that offer more popular rewards (like the weed leaf emote from Port Royale 3) will have more badge crafts and hence drop more booster packs. You only need to log-in to Steam regularly to be eligible for boosters, which you can sell un-opened. They all have three card as far as I know, and you can get a foil, so depending on the price of single cards it might be worth to open them rather than sell un-opened. Depends on the game.

You can see which of your games have cards by clicking on your profile and going to badges. That'll tell you what games you own that have badges (and thus cards) and how many drops you can get from each game. You can check the marketplace to see which cards are worth the most, but generally they'll run about 10-40 cents a piece. Except for Port Royale 3 cards that are worth over a $1 a piece because you can craft them into a weed emoticon.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #220 on:** August 10, 2013, 10:55:02 PM »

sometimes they take forever to drop, it's totally random

I left terraria on for two hours and only got one card

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #221 on:** August 10, 2013, 11:11:39 PM »

Usually it's about 20-30 minutes per card. If you haven't had one drop in a hour, you should probably close the game and start it back up because sometimes they get borked.

Raban · « **Reply #222 on:** August 10, 2013, 11:33:53 PM »

up to $9.56, thanks again for this idea, Joe! I didn't realize how much money I was sitting on. I still have like 20 games to do! Finally my frivolous Steam sale spending pays off with bountiful badge-supporting games

There's no way I'm going to get to 45 dollars.

But I'm sure I can get to at least 10-15 and that's totally fine because I'm doing fuck all except leaving my games idle and walking away and taking care of business or browsing the web while it's in the background. So far I'm at 5 dollars.

I don't think this is something that will "go away". It sure is nice this one time, but after you get all your drops, that's it. Your library has a finite value with dropped cards, and if you compare that to the money you've spent to get those games in the first place, well... you can see how Valve is still winning here.

Not to mention the fact that they get a percentage of every transaction in the market.
