I'm not a big SR fan (I only kinda liked the first). I've played a bit of SR2 and in a lot of ways this is a pretty bad game. The graphics are pretty horrible by any standards, they're just plain ugly. The controls are pretty bad as well, there's just no feeling to it, very janky. But on the other hand the game is pretty fun to play, it just doesn't take itself seriously at all and that is its biggest plus so far. It doesn't compare to GTAIV in any way (GTAIV is way better), but it's a fun little in-between game, nothing more.

It is alot of fun, but could use a shit load of polish.
Well they did say they were going to look at feedback. So far the feedback from this thread has been pretty sketchy though, people who didn't like 1 don't like 2. People who played a little SR1 and all of GTA4 think the latter is better while SR2 is more "fun". Seemingly very few brave PS3 owners have taken a shot at SR2 after missing out on 1.Linkhero1 said:Well if they do plan on making another entry for the series we know what to complain to them about
I really hope they read the message boards to see what we want in and out.
They did make some really weird changes for SR2 though. Robbing stores at night may not have been the most fun activity from SR1, but with full coop it could have been so much more fun (someone watching the doors while you crack the safe then blasting the two of you out of the store and to the getaway car for an epic escape).
Also wow, while writing this post was idling my car blasting The Final Countdown Radio 85.5 and about 17 pimps just shot up 3 of my gang members :lol
To be honest after GTA4 I'm just glad this game wasnt 100% centered around going from point A to B and shooting at all the Red Arrows time and time again. It really didn't have to do much to surpass my expectations, but I'm glad it did. It's a fantastic spiritual successor to GTASA and a solid improvement over SR1 (ala Vice City over GTA3)Linkhero1 said::lol :lol
I'm going to send them an e-mail after I finish the game.
Edit: Hopefully we get more hair, none of the current hair options does my Don Johnson justice =/

Hopefully the PC version won't have any of those issues.madmook said:
Wow...the whole mission with *POST-ENDING SPOILERS*
Also, I'm very surprised that
Now I'm off to cause general havoc around Stilwater.
Julius having him help you escape after being set up by Dex and then you killing him without him being able to give a good explanation was pretty shocking. My character sounded very pompous and arrogant, which annoyed me. Oh well, great game anyway!
Also, I'm very surprised that
you never got to get revenge on Troy at any point in the game. In fact, I can actually call him up and have him as my "homie" if I want (WTF?! :lol)

You can actually do that mission whenever you want, I just did it last night...without even having taken caren of samedi and brotherhood
George said:ARRGH! there is a glitch on one of the Ronin missions
on the mission laundry day once you bring the car and the gun to the lady and she starts driving she pulls a hard right and drives straight into the wall... backs up and then speeds right back into the wall she does the repeatedly until the car explodes
i have redone the mission from the start and from checkpoint like 10 times but its the same thing every time!
EDIT::lolok she didn't hit the wall this time... instead she did 100mph right into the water
anyone else having this problem?
Not the wall part, but she drove into every thing else and I died probably 5-6 times doing the mission.
edit: the two thing that truly annoys me
vanishing cars - You just turn around and then back around again and poof they are gone. Hate when I die and trying to find a ride back to the turf war.
Ronin super cars - what is the deal with them, their faster then a sports car and can knock a bulldog around like it's a matchbox. When with the same vehicle if I hit someone they fly threw the windshield.

Some folks have been ragging on the graphics, but I've found the lighting and shadows to be very impressive, especially in the
. Maybe it's just lowered expectations.

Hopefully Stillwater and another new city, with sea between them, and air travel/underground tunnel as travel options, like San Andreas. An all new city, and the old one as it was in SR2 too. That'd be my ideal.

Ok, I bought an expensive penthouse in the old Saint's Row area in the game, but when I loaded in my old game I restarted back in that first decrepit old safehouse. Is there something I can do in order to start in my new swank quarters?

Nah, not really, was just getting tired of seeing the same safehouse over and over when i fired up the game again hehe. Didn't know if there was something I was missing or not.
Been playing for only like an hour in co-op and having tons of fun just with some of these side missions. Whether it's trail blazing on a burning ATV or throwing crazy fans into trampolines which launches em 150 feet into the ocean (achievement!) :lol
so much fun stuff to do already

I haven't played nearly as much as some of you, but I have the game rented from Gamefly and it's a lot of fun. I'm on their 4 game plan and have Saint's Row 2, Burnout Paradise, Battlefield Bad Company, and Brothers & Arms all checked out, and the only one I can seem to go back to is SR2. I want to buy this, but don't have the money .
There's so much shit to do. When you look at the map with everything enabled it's actually a bit overwhelming.

some of the activity rewards are sweet.
From one of the Fuzz activities, level 3 gives you a nice pistol, and level 6 gives you unlimited pistol ammo at your crib.
One of the drug trafficking activities gives you a rapid-fire shotgun for level 3, and unlimited shotgun ammo for level 6.
