Hehe. Game is upset by a monopoly. Whodathunk?

Especially funny that it requires Steam though.

Created a chick with huge boobs and uploaded.

lolol

In my pants! *rimshot*

So SR3 is using an online pass system for its co-op. I know this was hinted at before, but it's kinda confirmed now

I think this is the last THQ-published title I bother buying.

Even if they're already promising Saints Row 4.

Every game I've bought with an online pass, has been a game I was going to buy new regardless, so I haven't really been affected by this.

Sucks for the consumer, but really, these companies are taking major hits from the used game market, so I can't really blame them for trying to get paid for all the work they put in to these titles.

What with those record sales and record profits.

Yeah, they're really taking a beating.

Listen, if it means less poor people, stinking up xbox live with their poor people odors, then I am all for it.

Disgusting, filth ridden, mongrels.

that's it. OCCUPY XBOX!

Might just ask Santa for this for Christmas. Skyrim will take all of my time anyways.

Even though THQ promised an exclusive free game mode for PS3 versions of the game at E3 this year, it turns out they ended up removing the mode or exclusive content with no official reason given.

http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ion-3-content/

Joystick has speculated this might have been the current "Whored Mode" that was announced to be in all versions.

Finished the first few missions, and they may be the greatest opening missions in a game ever.

People who have gotten it early, have been saying all week that they took a lot of stuff out from SR2, but the general consensus is that the new stuff makes up for it.

Also, I saw a video online of the shark gun dlc, and that shit is going in my active downloads pronto.

Can't wait for my stupid looking roomate to get off the damn tv.

Love that Cena's "You can't see me" taunt is in.

Only thing I don't like is that the enemies are fucking bullet sponges. I know it will probably be a lot better once I level the weapons out, but a police officer with no body armor, shouldn't be able to withstand 3 point blank shotgun blasts, or a a whole assault rifle clip. I even try and go for headshots, but they are still standing.

the reason given was that Volition and THQ never reached an agreement on what the mode should be. It was also explicitly said to be something involving the dildo weapon, so they had something in mind. Don't know about "whored mode," but if it focuses on the dildo weapon, then probably.

Agggh. the headshots! That pisses me off.

Still, most amazing fun I've had with a game in ages.

Sorry, I meant Volition/THQ and Sony.

one thing readily apparent is that a lot of the old flaws and glitches are back. Now I know what it must be like to be a Bethesda fanboy, because you can still see a lot of the flaws from the first two.

I found myself slipping into a crack and falling into an area I can't escape, respawning and falling into the same crack again. There's a lot of bugs in co-op, where I or my partner would find ourselves, for example, suddenly outside of the car we were both driving, or (once) halfway across the city. And a minor niggle, but the GPS still does that thing where the GPS will stick as though you're in an aircraft/boat (Don't know if the boat thing's still in, but the heli/plane half is). toggling it seems to fix it, but it's still there. There's a lot of pop-in, and some of it's pretty bad.

Also, this may be my connection with my Co-Op Partner In Crime, but the lag was so bad that he (host) was killing people in the Guardian Angel mission because they even showed up on mine. Was useless until the sniping part, which is ironic, because I'm usually useless in the sniping parts.

We multiplayer a lot together, and I don't remember ever seeing something that bad.

Still, I love this game so hard I could fuck it 'til the disc cracked, so the flaws don't really detract me. It's just...Weird.

Strange. I haven't encountered any bugs yet. Maybe they are more prevailant in co-op.

Quite possibly.

I've actually only come to encounter one bug when playing single player, now that you mention it. Well, two. There's this weird "teleport during holdups" thing that happened to me since I made the above list.

Also, love the fact I got an acheivement for running a male character and a female character.

Also, in case you missed it, there's a season pass up on Xbox Marketplace (probably Sony's too, but I don't care enough to look). Looks like the idea of a lot of DLC that was suggested by Giant Bomb really is true.

Not entirely sure how I feel about this, to be honest.

The cheats pack looks pretty cool. Imay buy it after I've beat the game and create a new save file to mess with them. supposedly, they ALL disable achievements.

Sony is offering Saints Row 2 and all of its DLC for free as a gift for those who buy the PS3 version of the game. The offer will only be available until February 13, 2012.

Most likely the move was done in reaction to the news of THQ removing the PS3 exclusive content from Saints Row the Third due to them not advertising this as a bonus feature unlike what was done for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood/Revelations and Medal of Honor reboot.

http://kotaku.com/5860294/buy-saints...row-2-for-free

Classy. :y:

Don't buy the cheats DLC, Kane Knight. Those are already in-game and unlocks once you beat it. The dlc is just for the impatient types, similar to the unlock cars dlc in burnout paradise.

Buddy gave me a promo code for the Money Shot DLC. Comes with a sweet looking combat armor, an Ultor version of the hover bike, and a new sniper rifle.

Also, I tried. I really really tried to play the game without cheats. Any other game I could. But in SR it's just too tempting. Used the cash cheat and upgraded everything I could. Having a fucking blast.

Everyone seems to be insisting these are different cheats. Though since I'm planning to beat the game first, I guess I'll find out.

One should also note Savior's only reason for hating SR2 is gone. You don't need to earn respect for missions anymore. You only need higher respect levels to unlock perks.

Infinite ammo at Respect 50...Plus a SHITLOAD of cash, but still...:love:

bastards. not even out here yet and when it comes tomorrow, if it comes first thing i will only have a couple of hours to play before work :'(

Ha ha...You have a life and responsibilties.

...Waaaaait.

Oh God, I just got to the gimp suit rickshaw race.

...Holy fuck was that awesome.

The DLC isn't even going to be available on Steam in the UK, I have to get it through a 3rd party than input a key into Steam.

Stupid bullshit.

http://www.nerdist.com/wp-content/up...nth-doctor.jpg
What?

The whole PC version in the UK is just a farce. Luckily, the actual port is pretty good especially when compared to SR2. My entire experience so far though:

1) Purchase CD key from website, thus bypassing the whole retail physical copy industry that didn't want the game on Steam in the first place

2) Input key to Steam and download game (users that are installing from disc have reported downloading 2gb through Steam after some of the content is installed from disc as well)

3) Notice I have no Genki stuff when I go to play

4) Click DLC page and all the page says is that it's "not in my region"

5) Find out THQ will be sending out the Genki codes seperately

6) Find out all other DLC is only purchasable from 3rd party resellers and latest info is it will only be the season pass

Wow. That's fucked up royally.

Got it. Fun times.

Does the season pass give you all the DLC or just the upcoming add-ons?

the descriptions seem to say just the three mission packs, so boourns.

Also, the last game featured a mission where the Samedi drugged you up and you had to make it back to your HQ to rescue Shaundi. This one one ups it when you end up

for 19.99 it better give me everything .

This is starting to seem quite short... only got it on Friday and I'm at 43% completion already?

Try it and let us know how it works out.

The first half seems to pass really quick and the second seems to slow down.

:) that annoyed me in SR2 especially due to the fact I was rushing to beat it. I still can not believe that last part of the mission where you rescue Zimos

The bank job at the start is class

Love how you get stopped for pics and signing shit as well :lol:

I love the Jane Valderama wrap-up of that mission.

"Please sign and then put down your weapons!"

"My son wants to meet Shaundi!"

During that little funeral scene on the bridge do they even show his body? I can't recall.

Also, I love the part where your actions in the last game turn around to bite you in the ass.

Yeah I just got to that part. I was like oh yeah I do kinda remember that. I am focusing on the "Gang Specialist" challenges more now than the missions because I don't know if the gangs disapear after completion.

EDIT: Why cant you name your saved games? I know one of these days I will screw up and save over the wrong one.

Agreed on the saves. I did that once in 2. It pissed me off and still pisses me off. the gangs do disappear (I think, I can't find any Morningstar now that I took them out), but you can always redo traffick or other deals to get to gangs if you run out.

Oh, the glitches are pissing me off. I love it when STAG starts shooting at me for no reason in the middle of an activity.

Or when I fall three feet and die...With reduced fall damage on.

i thought stag shooting at you was part of the game past a certain point? like you go into some areas and it's restricted access because stag have taken over that part of the city or whatever and you get an automatic wanted level.

best glitch i got so far was an exploded car in the air.

And if I was at their base when I was playing insurance fraud, that wouldn't be a glitch.

When they start randomly hosing you on the street? A little different.

no, it's not just their base. there comes that point in the game where stag up their game a bit, i can't remember where exactly, and they just start popping at you in the street, i think you're on a permanant 1 star or something.

Well, I ain't there then.

"I caught Oleg in the shower the other day...Can't...Unsee."

You can import saves?

No.

Oh dear God, http://deckers.die was annoying as fuck.

On the other hand, Kinzie? ADORABLE.

Love this game. So over the top, its fucking awesome.

lol

So, unless I'm missing something, this only happens on one island after martial law is declared. this is most definitely not what I was talking about, as STAG had not declared martial law at that point, I wasn't in the restricted zone, and did not have a one-star rating.

Other fun glitches: Falling through the scenery, getting stuck inside a building (once I fell far enough to respawn), and the helicopter jump glitch. For some reason, when on the ground and getting out of a helicopter or VTOL, sometimes my character will decide to jump. And take huge amount of damage from the ten foot fall.

This bothered me a little when it happened at first. It bothers me more now that I have the max fall damage upgrade, meaning I'm taking serious (sometimes lethal) damage from falls when I am supposed to receive zero.

One in five times I leave a stationary car, I do the falling from a great height animation. It's quite entertaining.

Long as it doesn't kill you, it can be pretty funny.

Though to be fair, it's so easy to make money in this game that a penalty to cash makes death almost a joke in itself.

I'm in love with the F69 VTOL. I wish it was real.

Oh, but it is!

Washington just won't admit it. It's a STAG conspiracy!

The VTOLs in the game are awesome. I think I like the hoverbike best, tho.

had my first go of the hoverbike today as i never tried it my first play round :'( also i realised i was probably perma-one-starred cause my bloke was BUTT NAKED. otherwise i dunno.

my biggest gripe with the game is that the AI for your homies is absolutely ridiculous. possibly even worse than SR2. the amount of times they're just started running in slow motion or getting stuck behind things is insane. i'd hate to play the game on hard just because no matter how good you are, it will screw you all the same :'(

also got infinite ammo and no reload + no fire damage for my tek-9 :'( incredible. beautiful carnage.

I love the Dual SMGs with no ammo/reload. Hail of bullets.

AI in this game is pretty awful. The only strategy your enemies have is swamp you with 9000 people at once. Combined with infinite accuracy (They can shoot me while running from like 3 blocks away), they can be a pest. And your homies can be really fucking useless. I still think they programmed Pierce to be extra fucking useless, though. I hate trafficking/main missions with him because the one thing I know will happen is he will at some point (probably several of them) he will refuse to get into the car

How can I get the free Saints Row 2 on PS3 now?

THQ updated the website for the game to include stat tracking for both individual players and overall stats. They also updated the website to include a real-time updated map of Steelport that will track what your friends did for achievements and stuff along with uploading photos from the game to the service.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/sain...nteractive-map


THQ also revealed since the release of the game, over 2 million in-game characters have been killed by the Purple Penetrator weapon.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...row-the-third/

I killed 1 million of them by myself. :shifty:

Actually, if not for the achievement (and the fun of flogging my friends with a giant purple cock), I probably wouldn't even bother.

They should have a "Woo Woo Woo You Know It" achievement for killing a number of people with the Rough Ryder.

Die in a fire.

I platnuimed already :)

not sure why you'd want to.

If only you knew people who played this game or something. :p

I'm not sure I'm even bothering with the DLC.

All I have left are activities and most of them are the ones I didn't like in the first two games, so I'm not sure. I don't think I'm getting rid of the title because I do legitimately have friends who'll co-op on this, but....

Am i missing something really obvious for the streaking challenge? Ran around naked for an hour but got nothing for it.

I'm guessing you didn't activate it. You have to be naked and hit like down twice.

Looked really easy and it is my first.

Sucks to be you.

ok?

Any way to change my character's voice later in the game?

Hit up a plastic surgeon place.

Finished it. Was going to 100% it but two of the Gang Operations are glitched and aren't showing up and one of the Super Killingwhatever course has a big red X every time I start. Looks like it's one of the graphics for the intro movie to the course. I'll look into it but if I can't fix it than I won't bother. Fun game though

Bought this the weekend it came out and haven't played it since.

Just got the Genki-bowl DLC,now riding around in a giant ball of yarn.

Does he doing anything?dont think ive used any of the homies really except Sasha Grey

Took an hour to complete the Genki bowl stuff,probably not worth the 500points

This is why I'm abstaining.

Probably would be worth it if the city was more fun (The added stuff would make for more dicking around), but I'd rather be in Stilwater.

Its fun for what it is,might be more of a challenge if i played it earlier in the game but its just another 6 activities really. Glad i didnt get the season pass though.

SRtT is "fun for what it is," but it's still not what it could be.

Think mines glitched. Just finishing up the last couple of challenges and a couple of them won't update, must have done about 50 of those stupid phonecall missions and it still shows as 25 of 26, same with the taunt gang members:mad::'(

I haven't heard of this sort of glitch before, but I wouldn't be shocked. However, I got all of the challenges done, so I know it's not standard.

I didnt really pay attention to the challenges until i'd finished the bulk of the game,even going back to an older saved game means i've gotta re-do 80% of them so fuck that.
