If I get 30 levels of respect will I be able to do most of the story based missions if not all of them?

Saints Row 2 |OT|

In the middle of the High End Retail district. There's a shopping center on top that's easy enough to spot (escalators, bunch a stores etc) and the mall is underground. You can either reach it from the elevator at street level (inside a building) or drive down through the parking garage at the back.ice cream said:Thanks, and where is the Rounnds Square mall?
And oh shit, i just got infinite respect!I've done like only 7 missions or something...
Looking at the map, it's the thing that sorta looks like a football field. :lol
The costume shop is on the west side and there's a bunch of stores down there that aren't listed on the map.
Picked this up Thursday night.... fucking love it! at least 20 hours in already..:lol :lol
Got hooked from the start. After the first mission to get a crib and all that... i've been doing the diversions (Insurance Fraud FTW) and just buying clothes and other random shit.
The best sandbox game since Crackdown.

You probably already found this out, but if not..FF_VIII said:
There's a huge Casino in the Hotels District right across from the Marina. There are also a lot of underground Casinos located in various basements, back rooms of laundromats and one in the Rec Center in the Suburbs Expansion.
Yeah, it should be just the save as it's the same way it worked in the first one.copybeaver said:
Not only is it the only thing that makes sense (why bother scewing up the GT?), but there was already talk here when the game came out about having another save just for cheats. It also explains why you get the choice of loading or creating a new character file whenever you go to play co-op.

well I just beat it, awesome game volition!
basically saints row 2, picked up the ball rockstar dropped and scored a touchdown with it.
sure it may not look as pretty, or be trying to be taken as real/serious as rockstars outting was, but the gameplay, FUN FACTOR, and mission style were so so much better than gta4. After san andreas I expected the gameplay and crazy awesome stuff of saints row 2, and the graphics and attention to detail of gta4, ALL IN GTA4.
I can see myself trying to 100% SR2, while gta 4 I wont turn on again (havent played it since I beat it in april) untill DLC comes out, thatll hopefully be worth a damn.
now for some spoilers
Ronin:
Brotherhood
Samedi
Post ending not 100% spoiler
I hope the dlc for this game is more than just clothes tho, gimme more fighting styles, or vehicles, or even "activities" (Hot Coffee Shaundi FTW lol :lol )

HOLY SHIT at the cutscene with Gat killing that Shogo? kid? goddamn it was pretty awesome, I also liked the ending, seriously I got a commando/ Duke Nukem vibe half the time from the directions the cutscenes took
Brotherhood
What happened to Carlos is fucked up, I felt more disturbed by that then what happens in *insert some gta near end spoiler here*, but the payback was so awesome in the car trunk, that had a cartman feeding the kid his parents / se7en vibe (ok not that good but still pretty cool
Samedi
This was the first mission I did, I really wasnt that impressed by it except for the mission where your fucked up and falling over yourself at the end, and the assualt on the saints hideout was a nice ZOMGWTF moment
Post ending not 100% spoiler
Im still not seeing the "Extra" mission availible, do I have to 100% the game, im thinking Julius has to be in it, or Troy because I coulda sword he woulda shown up somewhere during the ultor missions

It's just a busy couple of months. Most games are getting a bit less attention than normal simply because all the publishers packed their releases into Oct/Nov. I think most of the good games from this month and next will have pretty good legs as people catch up on things they could not grab all at once.ice cream said:
Finally completed it. Awesome, awesome game.
One thing that was disappointing;
Ok, behind Gat, Legal Lee is the funniest guy ever :lol
One thing that was disappointing;
That Julius was only in one mission, a side mission at that. He should've been a main character. Plus I would'n't have even found out about the Julius mission had I not checked to see what the secret achievements was.
Ok, behind Gat, Legal Lee is the funniest guy ever :lol

So I'm having this weird problem. I've just beaten
, but now the last mission isn't appearing. Is there some prerequisite thing I have to do, or do I have to go somewhere or something?
the mission in which I have to kill all the guys on the yacht

THIS GAME IS AWESOME! I didn't care at all when it was announced for PS3 because of the whole 'gangsta' theme and thought it was just a gta wannabe, but I"m glad I tried it out. Now I'm buying this for sure!! Having more fun with this than GTA4
Couple things:
-awesome character customization - playing as a female is better than staring at Niko's ass, the voice acting's good too
-holy shit, tonnes of buildings to go into, tonnes of sidemissions. Insurance fraud is :lol
-mission checkpoints! you'll never lose your car once you put it in your garage!
-graphics are better than Mercs2(yuck)
Seriously, the only thing I really miss from GTA are the prettier cars and lighting. And i don't mind that at all.. Looking forward to SR3!

Looking forward to SR3!Just cracked open the seal and started the game. Walking off the dock I immediately start a fight between the pimps and guards. Racked up a bit of cash doing that.
I changed vehicle controls. However, I really prefer the GTA vehicle camera. I was always swinging it to see better around corners. Any tips on handling the SR2 camera?
Also what's the proper way to lose heat? I know about the 'spray shops,' but is losing heat just something that takes a while as that bar slowly goes down. Are there other options?
Really enjoying the game so far (I haven't played much I spent a lot of time creating my character just right.) Starting a huge brawl between pimps and guards then stealing a bike that was blasting 'Cielito Lindo' was a very promising start to the game:lol

This game is still rocking... I still haven't bought dead space, fallout3, LBP, or any of the other games I nkow I will buy before christmas. I have started another playthrough, but dointg the activities first this time to help with playing on a harder difficulty.
Fake Edit: Barnstorming is awesome, even if the planes control like arse!
Glad to hear it's finally coming!!Loudninja said:I should finally get it tomorrow, its really close to where I live in ILL
So you bought a game you don't like (probably based on internet hype)and now you want the interwebz to help you sell it? Really? Tried google?GamerZero said:

Well you didn't need to use the same vehicle in SR1, you could switch mid-event when the original vehicle was too beat up or exploded.FF_VIII said:Wow, I didn't know this, but unlike SR1 you no longer need the vehicle for drug trafficking
I just called Vehicle Delivery and did all 12 levels with the bear, lol
I don't think SR1 had vehicle delivery though.
I didn't know SR2 had such a thing. what's the phone number?
Actually I'm surprised someone hasn't posted the numbers yet.
I know some folks were asking about this earlier and I have not seen it answered already...
Yes, you can legitimately get the Hunter Assault Helicopter before you normally do (beating the storyline) by doing the following:
Note, I recommend doing this all around your main hideout as it'll make it go much faster. Also, I highly recommend you do this in co-op as it will make this MUCH easier (you'll see why in the step 3).
1. Complete the Base Jump diversion and unlock the reward by getting three gold stars. To do this, you'll need to land IN the car while base jumping from a helicopter (or plane... but if you're doing this from your home base...you only have the copters). The reward for this is no fall damage no matter the distance. Note, if you fail this at first and you run out of helicopters in your garage, it's because they are nearby and havn't despawned or blown up. Drive away and come back or find them and blow them up. You'll then have them in your garage again.
2. Go to your rooftop as if you were going to get a helicopter. Instead, go the edge of the roof on the south side where the road is and start causing mayhem. Kill everyone...especially police. When a helicopter shows up, destroy it also and you'll be at five stars eventually. When you get here, the Hunter assault helicopters start showing up.
Optional Step: If you don't already have an FBI vehicle and the Bear APC... now is a good time to get them while you're very close to your garage.
3. When a Hunter approaches you, try to fire some bullets at it (but don't kill it). Eventually, hopefully, it will finally find a place to sit still and fire at you. Now.. if you're playing solo, you'll need to quickly get in one of your helicopters and fly up above the Hunter. It will likely start to move again as you do this. Like I said, this is probably very hard solo. However, if you're playing in a co-op game, whomever the Hunter is focused on should sit still while the other player gets in a helicopter and flies above the hunter (not close, get pretty high above it). Also, don't get directly above it either as when you jump out, you don't want your helicopter crashing into the hunter.
4. When you're a good distance above and a little bit aside of the Hunter, press Y (or whatever it is on PS3) to jump out and immediately hit the button again to deploy your parachute. Now, just glide down onto the top or the cockpit of the Hunter. The blades will not kill you but might try and knock you off so act quickly here. When you land, immediately hit the button to jump in (again, Y on xbox) to take over the craft. This might take you a few attempts to get the timing right but at least if you miss, you won't die even if you fall off the Hunter because you got the no fall damage reward. Just run back to your garage and get another helicopter. You folks attempting this solo might not be able to do the parachute method if the Hunter is moving again or deploy it very late. Sorry, can't help ya too much there.
Enjoy your new assault helicopter All of this is easily doable as soon as you get the main hideout and your first helicopter...which is fairly early in the game.

Or:
1. Go to the roof of the police headquarters and take one of the assault choppers that are randomly parked there.
2. Profit.
Worked perfectly first time. Great trick, thanks much. I lined up my chopper perpendicular to the attack chopper and landed just fine in solo.Artadius said:I know some folks were asking about this earlier and I have not seen it answered already...
