Himu, it's silly to put the game down like that without playing it.

Sure. But why stop a winning pattern?

And hey, here's a helpful hint for extending the life of the game:

DON'T USE ANY OF YOUR SUPER-POWERS EVER

And just like that, you've added 15 hours to in-game counter! You can thank me later.

I had this same feeling in SR3; it's basically a choose-your-own-difficulty slider. Or set of sliders.

GOAT game is GOAT.

?). Besides the main missions, I have 15 sidequests/loyalty missions to do. How did you finish it so fast, FatalT!?

Loving all the Saint's Row 2 and 3 stuff that has been popping up.

Was also pretty impressed by the Saint's Of Rage minigame- it's actually three levels long, with two boss fights, and there's cool moves in there including multiple dragon punches! Guessing that that's not really sprite art, since my character actually appeared wearing the same clothes/hair style in "sprite" form as the 3D model.

I'm at 7:30 and about 31%. Game seems ~20 hours to complete, probably another 10-15 for the rest of the challenges / 100%. I have no idea how some of you are blowing through so fast, but more power to ya!

I like how a lot of the best powers are gated behind Silver and Gold challenges, now.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #435 on:** August 23, 2013, 01:38:46 PM »

I'm having an issue in that while a lot of the new guns are really cool (thinking of ricochet and black hole guns in particular here) I just tend to like running around like a lunatic when I'm surrounded by a bunch of Zin and using the dash attacks, because they're COOLER.

For my 2nd tower, I also totally took the lazy man's method of using a helicopter.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #436 on:** August 23, 2013, 01:51:03 PM »

There's only 1 gun worth using in the game and that's the DUBSTEP gun. After you've leveled it up a bit it becomes ridiculously overpowered.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #437 on:** August 23, 2013, 01:54:55 PM »

I also like using shotguns at close range. But then again, I do that in pretty much every game with guns. BOOM. You're dead.

I wasn't initially impressed with the Dubstep gun, but I'll try upgrading it. I initially sunk all of my cache into upgrades that got me more cache or xp- gotta min-max effectively, brehs.

I've spent about 15 hours in game so far, most of that collecting clusters and doing side stuff. I'm still having an absolute blast with the game. It's pretty much everything I wanted a superhero game to be, tons of the craziness I adored from SR3 with some fun as hell superpowers. It's lived up to my insane hype so far and I couldn't be more pleased.

yeah, upgrading melee, super dash + R3 = best way to clear out the room. I feel bad abusing it, but I have other things to spend my cash on for now.

WHAT A SHITTY, RUSHED EXPANSION PACK

Also, in CRUNCHEONY discussion earlier tonight, I brought up the fact that even though most of the game is played in a reused environment, the way you play the game makes it feel like a completely different city. I hardly notice it's Steelport as I'm jumping from rooftop to rooftop, or flying around and shit.

What's really gonna be fun is when GTAV comes out and is shitty. She'll probably try to keep up a front for a while, then maybe a month in admit that it's not as good as she'd hoped. Then, eventually she'll get around to playing SRIV when she should have been all over it like, well, Himu on some HRT. And that's when the fun will really start, and we can start giving her metric fucktons of shit.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #476 on:** August 26, 2013, 05:16:27 PM »

I just don't know if I can ever go back to a straight-faced cops-and-robbers sandbox crime drama after the way SR3 and SR4 played out. The story's one thing, but with the sheer amount of FUN that SR4 lavishes you with just in running and flying around the world, it'll be hard to go back to the under-steering cars and characters with visible limps of the Grand Theft Auto universe.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #477 on:** August 26, 2013, 05:23:09 PM »

To say nothing of the fact that (at least in GTAIV, and I doubt it will be better in V) the gameplay was shittier in comparison.

I like Himu, but lord does she need to buy a BS detector.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #478 on:** August 26, 2013, 05:33:17 PM »

In GTAV, you can invite your distinguished effete homies over to play tennis and badminton and have wine tasting, and I dunno go fox hunting too probably.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #479 on:** August 26, 2013, 06:06:55 PM »

yeah the gameplay gta is built on is so fucking outdated; what are they gonna do, bring back cops/ambulance/taxi jobs? the lock-and-shoot gameplay is old as fuck too, good luck having epic gunfights with that. the thing is that the wackiness in sr3 let them get away with all kinds of fun shit like airstrikes and fists that'd launch people into space and gta would never even try to pull this off even tho they have that juvenile humor mixed in with the serious cutscenes. and now with sr4 they took all the fun stuff with 3 and put in some crackdown/infamous gameplay on steroids and launched their series into the stratosphere where gta could never hope to touch it with continuing on what theyve built the series around.

saints row is next next level and gta is still stuck in early 2000s
