Yeah, I am the worst, any tips for Insurance Fraud other than get in the zone, build up adrenaline and bounce off cars? I know it's like a fan favourite or something but I am just completely shitty at it and just hitting bronze is usually already down to the timer for me, even back in SR3 (my first SR).

I just use superspeed and click the mouse right when I hit a car. This makes my character bounce waaaaay high and every car I hit after that gets me a lot of money.
When done, correctly... this happens:

Don't forget its not just cars that give you money (although they give you the most). Do a super jump, hit the trigger (or mouse, depending on your control input) to initiate ragdoll, and just move your character into buildings and cars. Don't forget you have control over some of the movement of the character throughout the whole ragdoll sequence. Use it to bounce off the street in a straight line and build up speed to slam into cars.
I usually use the Cockney accent, but had to go with The North.
Wonder how different it is from the others. There was a moment (in the beginning, going to the giant Artillery Gun), North/Boss says something like "I'm just an actor" which makes me wonder if that's a 4th wall moment.
I flew to the end of the map. I think I had an airtime of 15-20 seconds lol.

Welp it looks like good instruction booklets will be the exception going into next gen
Used to love coming home with a new game and flipping through the booklet.

Lol, I had a similar situation first time I tried it. I remember thinking I bugged the game or something.

Yeah, after doing a couple of them as boring gunfights, I realized last night that the best way to clear those alien strongholds was just to dash around and use melee grab kills to take each alien out one-by-one. Kinda took the challenge out of it, but it was still damn fun.
I can see all the Crackdown comparisons people are making with this game, but so far, it seems like this game cribs a whole lot more from Prototype, to the point of flirting dangerously close to plagiarism in some instances. The upgrades I unlocked in the few hours I played last night (running up walls, gliding, doing dashes/double dashes in midair) are all straight out of Prototype. Not to mention side activities that have bronze, silver, and gold tier levels of success. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the game so far, but to me, it seems very noticeable.

So are you guys importing your characters or starting fresh? I still can't decide and time is running out...

Nobody but Troy Baker is the leader of the Saints, to me. Any other voice just feels wrong lol.

Speaking of the bronze, silver, and gold activity completion tiers, is bronze good enough to count towards the completion rate? I assume silver and gold simply award the player with more cache?
Yes, it is. They said Nolan would be self-referential (some of his taunts and compliments even have him say, "I'm Nolan!"), and that's why it isn't labeled as Male Voice 4, but as Nolan North.

Troy Baker is good, but Laura Bailey is the leader of the Saints for me.
Hey thanks, I was able to get it working. I had the same thought last night but it was super late and I think I failed to copy over all the settings so this time I opened up Nvidia Inspector and added the SR4 game to the SR3 profile and both 580s are working and the game is running smooth as butter.
Nolan's voice has specific 4th wall breaks written into the script. In addition to the "I'm just an actor" line, when told to "Just be yourself" (or something along those lines), he replies "You mean myself, Nolan?" LOL
No problem! Now add in some downsampling and enjoy the game.
Wasn't even in the first or second game.

My thoughts as well. I miss my Russian boss.
Haven't gotten to far into the game (just finished I guess the intro and got ice blast) but is it me or are the stores missing some clothes? Or do I have to hop across to the west end of the map. The Inauguration Station had something like a basic t-shirt but I can't seem to find it at any Planet Zin/Nobody Likes Me/Let's Play Pretend just yet.

Is anyone else having issues with ATI cards? I've got a 6870 and a good PC otherwise (Phenom II X4 3.0 Quad Core, 8GB RAM) but I can't get this game to run at above 40FPS even on low with all the settings turned off. My drivers were up to date and I even tried the beta Catalyst and it helped but only a tiny amount.

I'm having no issues with my card at all. I'm getting 40-45 FPS on ultra with no serious drops.
Just pretend she lost her accent after spending so much time in America.

They killed off my vaguely Hispanic male voice in SR2. Bummed me out.

Great to see everyone loving this! If you guys love the intro, your really, really going to love some of the later parts of the game!

Ok. I had no reason at all to buy this game... but now I think I will buy this game. It seems too ludicrous to pass up. Wasn't a huge fan of the other SR games, but this one looks zany-fun. How's the PS3 version?

Okay, they're just throwing in more references than I can handle. As an film enthusiast, there was more than like 5 references in a 10 minute period than my mind could handle.

Loving the Nolan North voice on my character.
Ha, that is brilliant.
I'm gonna try to make my character look just like Nolan.

What card? I'm just confused because the whole thing runs poorly. Even on low I'm only getting 30, which makes zero sense.
High five!
Laura Bailey's voice was the only one i liked to be honest, i find male models and all the other voices to be not likable, so a female with Laura Bailey's voice was the only real choice to me.

And here starts the 2013 "best out-of-context quote" competition!
Was going to say, the textures are really muddy on the PC version. Everything is maxed out of course. Was wondering if this was a case where the resolution of the textures wasn't being saved properly in the settings, or if the textures really look that bad. =/
Hmmmm.
Going through my display setting txt now, and there seems to be some contradictions to the in game settings and the actual settings. Interestingly, what is this?

You mean like the Streets of Rage reference where you play a beat-em-up style game with Johnny?
