I can make more. Youtube seem faster now on uploading vids. What would you like a vid of? The game is great, it has screen tearing if you leave vsync off though. It don't get in the way of the fun though. The game is pretty destructible too. I could make a vid of that I guess.

I love this game. Stayed up until 5am playing it last night. Haven't had this much stupid fun with a video game in years.

Did anyone have a problem with that mission where you go to the nuclear power island? I couldn't get the gieger counter. I would select it from the store but it wouldn't equip it no matter what....

I did that mission without a problem,maybe you should just restart that mission?

Question: will it ever be possible to customize the underground crib that you get early on? I cant find any option to do so. Hope it wont be a rundown hobo-ville for the entire game
Yeah just go to the purple chiar icon in each crib.
I beat the game last night (story wise) and it is SO good!! I really enjoyed every minute of it. It is so nice just cruising around in your superior and shoot some pimps with your pimpstick . And the side missions are also really enjoyable. I really liked the "leaving evidence" and the "hot fuzz" missions, just blowing everything up on your "fire" quad never gets old. Can't wait for saints row 3! I do have one question though, how do I start the "carsurf" missions?

Stand on the hood of a car, and you'll be prompted to once the car hits top speed.BaZZaa said:
I've beaten all the normal missions that have appeared on my map and all the side missions, but my stats still say 41/42 missions complete. Is this a mistake, or is there a mission I've missed?
That really sucks. Has it actually screwed up your progression? I haven't had all my stats wiped, but I've noticed that after getting three gold stars in some combat tricks my stats say I haven't gotten three gold stars. For instance, I've achieved three gold stars in gang kills many times, but my stats say my best is two gold stars. Glad these don't contribute to getting 100%.Loudninja said:This game is just to buggy,all my states wipe out again
I got the game a few days ago, rescued the dude and spent the rest of my playtime causing havoc and doing non-story missions. So awesome. So over the top. I'm loving every freaking second.
Oh lordy at the bodyguard missions. My favourite so far. Throwing rabid fans off a skyscraper is oddly calming.

The missions are very fun. Great game and I had it for a month, it's still a great game. I'm looking forward to SR3 for sure, and I hope they go even more over the top and fill it with even more distractions. They get what makes sandbox games of this type fun and addictive. Having the ability to grab competent buddies off the street helps a lot. It's like having a extra armor of protection and prevents all the bullets from heading your way. They kill enemies pretty good as well. They use the best weapon for the situation too. I love the buddies.
I did make another video but it's probably way too late now. I didn't want to bump the thread because of one video of me being clueless on a mission. Also I tried to control the truck while messing with the mounted gun on the roof without and cruse control on/off.

Is there a way to manually cancel streetraces? It's really annoying that if you make a wrong turn or hit a wall and have no chance of winning, you still have to hit all the checkpoints. In fact, my car even got wedged in between two walls, preventing me from moving, and you can't even get out of the car! I had to reload...
I traded Farcry2 for this game and I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised.
Other than the demo of Saint's Row which I thought was awful, this is my first ever GTA-clone. WOW!! While the game isn't going to win any gameplay awards, the customization and absurdity in the game blows GTA4 out of the water.
The stereotypes and humor are lowest common denominator, but damn if it doesn't make for a hilarious experience. Making the fattest character possible and having her cheer people up on the sidewalk by doing an Irish jig? Completely awesome.
Have only delved into the story 20% or so... If anyone wants to try out some co-op, add me. My gamertag is rareside. (Xbox360 obviously).

I'm finally going to pick this up, really enjoyed the first game except for the glitches. Anyone have any experience running SR2 installed on the HDD? Any problems with it? I know some people (including me) had problems in GTAIV with texture streaming when running off the HDD, but I'd prefer not to play it off the disk as my disk drive is dying and gets frequent dirty disk errors.
Watching the credits roll as I type this. What a fun game! Sure there are technical glitches and stuff, but they just make it so damn fun that it's easy to look past those things. I may or may not go and finish some of the activities I didn't finish, but I am pretty happy with it right now.
I really liked the cruise control feature they added for the driving. Favorite gun by far is the automatic shotgun, forgot the name.
I hope they make another one of these games. I really like them.

any idea when DLC is going to hit? I think I'm within 2 off days of beating it and I want MORE!
Glad to see this thread is still active.
I finished the story missions up today and this has to be the most fun I've had playing a game this year. The variety in the missions plus the ability to play them all with a friend really elevates Saints Row 2.
I'm glad Rockstar took their baby in a different direction, but I'm also glad that Volition filled the hole they left.

If what you're going to tell me is a spoiler for later on please tag it with a warning.
I've finished the part where the dude's father escapes on a motorbike (where they raid the Saint's hideout) and I don't see any missions on my map. Will it just come randomly or something?

Agreed the game is pretty much opposite in terms of gameplay direction, yin yang. While I enjoy the story and detail of GTA4, I also enjoy the streamlined and fun gameplay of Saints Row 2. Job well done Volition.

Check to see if there are any active Strongholds. Get rid of them and that will usually enable the next mission.

Got the game for Christmas, so far I'm enjoying the ride. I played the first Saint's Row and although the script was written by an idiot the game was a lot of fun. I wasn't expecting GOTY stuff from the sequel, just many hours of stupid, unadulterated fun, and so far that is what I've got. Its crashed twice, the physics can be all over the place and bugs that plagued the first game really should have been fixed in the two years its taken to make the sequel..... but I got to spray houses and people with shit. So its all good I guess.
My only complaint, who in the crikey of blimey did the 'Cockney geezer' voice work.... because they shouldn't be allowed to play a similar character again. Its like someone watched Dick Van Dyke for inspiration on how to play an English person.
Oh and the driving controls, RT and LT should be accelerate and brake. Always. There are no excuses for digital driving in an analogue age. I know Scheme B maps them this way but then it maps Primary Attack to LB... why not X? Stupid stupid stupid.
And Michael Dorn.... awww yeah.
