Was that directed at me?
 
I just got the machine gun pistols (korbas or kobras or whatever) and unlimited pistol ammo from beating all 6 levels of one of the Fuzz activities.

I love how this game isn't afraid to give you bad ass toys to play with.

If I remember correctly the game rewards you generously for going through the activities (health, weapons, vehicles, etc). Doing so made the story-line missions easier and a lot more fun (if you chose to use those rewards to complete missions).
I'm confident SR2 is the same.

ie: don't rush through and just do the story mode, do the activities and you'll get some pretty cool shit (pimp-cane shotgun ftw from SR1).

i love how ridiculously ott the fuzz missions are; i just flamethrowered an old man to death for littering and then chainsawed a couple for domestic violence :lol
 
Whoo unlimited ammo for SMGs.
3x Health Regeneration
15% damage reduction from bullets
A garage full of badass cars
Nearly every diversion/activity nets you a new gift.

Now this is how you do unlockables. Everyone take notes.

What is the fuzz activity again? (someone care to explain)

It's like an episode of cops, except you're the cop and you get awesome weapons to diffuse (most of the time) pretty tame situations. So for example, there's an old man with a walker jaywalking, you get the call and head to him. Your cameraguy says "we need some b-roll of you using your flamethrower" You can piece together the rest ;)
 
Zombie Uprising seems a bit easy. Then again I only played through the initial set of waves so maybe there's an Unlimited mode or something.

BTW: I'll go ahead and say that SR2 is better than SR1 in every single way. I'm surprised and somewhat depressed I can't say the same about more sequels.

Gowans, you're in UK right? Do you know which ships would be the most lenient on selling to minors? I'm 16 and could possible pass of as an 18 (I have a quite a bit stubble growing this past week). I have a debit card but not money on it right now and really want this game tomorrow. Any help UK peeps?
Thanks
 
I was playing fuzz last night co-op and it took me and my buddy a few missions in to realize they automatically give you the weapons they want you to use. We kept running around going, where the hell is this flamethrower they are talking about?? Good times with that minigun to, we took a crazed postal work out with them.

Just noticed that your character can actually get dirty this time around.

Not sure how long it takes, but if you don't change your clothes at all, people in your crew will start telling you that you need to take a shower. :lol Eventually you'll actually see visual dirt & grime appear on the clothes you're wearing.

Couldn't tell you off memory, but you should really "unlock" all the stores/activites in the city when you have the time. That way you don't have to worry about finding stuff when you need it.

Speaking of which, this game really rewards exploration because, other than finding a bunch of cool stuff (caverns and caves, sewers, secret labs, underground gambling casinos, hidden porno shops :)lol) etc etc etc) there are quite a few stores where you can buy stuff that don't show up on the map at all.

RE: the monster trucks,

I found a bunch of them around the University, but I was on a mission at the time so I'm not sure if they're always there.

I might actually have to use the outfit sub-menu at the crib now. That way I don't have to take all day trying to find something to wear. :lol

Haha, that's a nice touch!
after killing some DJ, the Gen X radio station changed to the Ultor radio station

And how do you get your character to sing along to a song?

And where is the costume shop?

I just finished the brawl activity a few minutes ago.

When do I get the rock bottom as a move? I could have used it for brawl activity :lol

My guess is that they just do it on their own to a specific song based on what voice set you're using. I'm using the white girl's voice and she sang along to "Take on Me"

You unlock the fighting styles by going through the gang missions. You don't have to beat them completely, but after X missions you'll apparently fight enough of them that you learn their techniques. :lol

The singing's random, but it seems to happen for everyone eventually while listening to the 80s station.

The costume shop's in Rounds Square Mall in the High End Retail District.

Damn :lol

I'm trying to do as many activities as I can before starting the story. I already have 22% without doing a single mission :lol I guess the Rock Bottom will have to wait :(

I wish this game would let you take in game photos and videos and upload them to a server like Halo 3 and some EA sports games do. I reeeeeally want to show off my car creations. Not to mention all the wild videos we'd get out of it.

So how fun is this game? I see my favourite Classical radio station is back, but still undetermined on whether to slap down some money for it. I didn't like the fact that GTAIV had practically nothing fun to do after you "finished" the game, so I'm in the neighbourhood for something fun to mess around with.

Had the game since launch and haven't started the story yet due to the activities. If you're looking for more fun after you finish the game then SR2 is right for you.

Haven't you read the thread? It's terrible.

The activities are what makes the game. The missions are fine and mostly pretty fun, there's no mindblowingly insane/broken/impossible ones like in the first Saints Row. But the real fun, and the majority of my time played came from doing activities. The full drop in/out coop makes both missions and activities more fun.

The best part of the activities is knowing you'll get a reward after finishing them. It feels so good xD

I picked this up with somewhat lower expectations and can't believe how much fun it is so far. It really is like GTA's cousin/stepsister/whatever. It plays on GTA's weaknesses while also being weak in areas where GTA shines (presentation, gfx, etc...). The whole over-the-top direction the game takes is great, and the whole game flows really well. I haven't played too far in, but so far I hope to see a greater emphasis on gang fights. I love having to fight to take over territory, and so far its been a breeze. Guess we'll see how things are as I get further along.
