Right.. which is why you use the bonus locations when convenient.Linkhero1 said:
For instance, because they come in waves you can bat off the early ones in the set and grab the 2nd or 3rd to last and toss him since the remaining one(s) won't bother the celeb that much. Then, if still in range, you should be able to grab the remaining ones and use them for bonuses as well.
The upgraded Saints hideout you get around halfway through the story is hawt.
It's more functional too. The best thing about it being, you no longer have to run through the mission, down flights stairs and into the basement just to get there. Now there's an elevator that takes you there from street level.

Also, Prison Riot. *bow* You don't know how many times I wished there was one in IV. :lol

Using an APC to get more hoes....
...think about that
I <3 Saint's Row
I'll have to use that APC sometime soon.
I love that Samedi mission where
I swear Saints Row 2 is what GTA IV should have been and I'm assuming what we were all expecting. They both have their pros and cons for sure, but ironically I still see me fooling around in Stilwater for another month compared to pumping through GTA IV within a week and never touching it again.

Pierce is driving around in the car then boat while you're shooting down the choppers carrying drugs, then you gotta head to land once again. You hi-jack a car and Pierce goes "now that's how we Saints jack cars!" turns it over onto the radio station and goes "I fucking love this song!" then starts singing it as your shooting down more choppers :lol

Ok, so more incredibly random events. I just unlocked some new gang vehicles, so of course I go to the hideout to check them out.
I bring this female Saint with me from the last mission and she starts yelling at one of the strippers giving this guy a lapdance (I'm guessing it's her boyfriend. Heh.). She walks right up to her and bumps her toughguy style causing the stripper to fall off the guy's lap. So then she taunts at the stripper and the stripper pulls a knife and tries to slice her, but misses. Then she pulls her knife and a knife fight ensues in the middle of the room. :lol
They're going at it for a while and no one's trying to stop them, but all of a sudden another female Saint comes running in with a bat. I guess she saw her girl in a fight and she certainly can't let some random stripper beat her up. They back the stripper into the corner and she goes down after the bat cracks her skull. She's trying to get back on her feet, but they keep her down with bat strikes and knife slashes. Eventually it looks like she's down for the count and, for good measure, the original jealous girl pulls out a shotgun and blasts the stripper in the face.
<3 this game. :lol
He loves him some driveby music. :lol

I just did that mission a few hours ago. I was in tears the entire time I was trying to finish the mission because of his singing. "No no.. wait.. this part right here is the shit!"speedpop said:

I love the AI in this game. Keeps me entertained. A friend and I were about to head to a Ronin mission when we saw a cop pull over a gang member. We sat and watched. Cop got out of his car, pulled his gun, crouched behind his door. Gang member actually looked back, noticed the cop was taking a defensive position...and squealed off down the street. Cop gave chase. High speed pursuit. We didn't bother following them, but we both figure that high speed chase resulted in a nasty explosion when a bunch of cars collided. lol
Unrelated to the AI, but Aerial Assault is one of my favorite missions in any game, ever, because it kept ratcheting up the awesome. At first I expected "Aerial Assault" referred to us parachuting in to destroy the marijuana field. When I saw we were actually flying in a helicopter gunship, I giggled. I mentioned how we totally needed Wagner's Flight of the Valkyrie playing. Checked out the music stores in-game, and sure enough...they have Wagner's FotV available to buy for the playlist! At some point, I'm replaying that mission and rocking out some Apocalypse Now!

If you find a gasoline pump, I recommend driving into it. You get hilarious results every time.

Beat the game. Woot awesome and so on.

Been playing for a while. Total awesomeness. Couple of questions though:
How do you do the ho'ing stuff? I've heard people mention it, but can't figure out where to do this.
About the mission structure: I've gone through the Brotherhood and Ronin, but haven't gotten the achievement for defeating the gangs. Do I have to complete all the Strongholds? Do more missions pop up later?

Ho'ing is available in strip clubs. Most likely any club you can walk into. There will be a glowing door that you approach to start the minigame. The minigame is a piece of cake, and you get a ridiculous pimp suit for your effort. And I mean ridiculous.

Where's the best place to find a helicopter? I've gone to the prison helipad but it's empty. Same for the helipad at the penthouse crib. The airport's been empty too every time I've checked unless I'm missing a particular hanger.
Why'd you check there of all places. There wouldn't be one there unless you put it there.Union Carbine said:
I got my first randomly at the airport, but just playing the missions you'll get more that you can land at your various helipads/hangers and keep. I think I'm up to 3 or 4 now. There's also an attack chopper that's periodically on the roof of the police HQ in Saints Row.

I actually haven't bought that crib yet. I went up to check the price and made a side-trip to the roof.raYne said:

There is usually a chopper on the roof of the hospital.
Well I am just over 20 hours in and 52% and still loving it! Almost done with all the gangs, then its on to diversions and activities. One thing I do miss though is the "wheel woman" homie. Was nice to not have to drive everywhere sometimes. I really like the Ronin missions, the samedi were pretty good to. Brotherhood missions are brutal, figuratively and literally, lol. Best sandbox game i've played in a long time. I hope the get a GTA sized budget for SR3 and really go all out.

Not sure if it's been posted in here, but IGN did a head to head on this game. Haven't bought it yet, and not sure if I'm going to to be honest, but I have both a PS3 and 360, and I found the result surprising given what happened with GTA4.
IGN Saints Row 2 Head to Head
360 was the overall winner. Achievements, less loading (despite install on the PS3), less screen tearing and better anti-aliasing on the 360 gave it an edge apparently.
Sorry if this HAS been posted but I didn't want to start a thread that just caused bullshit and looked like flame bait.

Just finished it (just the main missions, minimum diversions and activities). It's definitely more fun than GTAIV; the missions and even characters and story are just more fun than anything in GTAIV. GTA IV is still the better game imo. Stillwater itself is a pretty boring city to look at, there are a ton of glitches, some funny, some annoying as shit. The indoor environments are also pretty badly designed.
I love how you can seriously destroy shit and not have major repercussions and I love how over the top violent the game is (everything is ott but in a good way).
Also, the pimpslap is probably the best thing ever.
