Just picked the game up. I've loved every Saints Row and can't wait to dive in.

So good

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

I tried a kill mission and the person i tried to kill had glitched through a wall and you couldn't touch her. she eventually moved up into the corner of the building and i had to quit out to do anything quest related. ah well.

That happen to me as well. But luckily I pulled out the Tentacle sword and was able to kill the target inside the wall.

So i was spoiled and found out that

Keith David betrays you

. Are those end game spoilers?

 

[FlyinJ]

I've been having this issue, too. The mix doesn't have very much punch at all; it's just really flat.

I'm getting by and loving it, though.

This mix is absolutely awful, just like SR3. Is it a PC problem? I complained about it a lot when playing SR3, but people playing the console version said it sounded excellent.

 

[Caladrius]

I just figured out that you can completely break TK mayhem by just sprinting through stuff while holding the ball.

Not really. It's close to the end but it's not really the end end of the game.

 

[mightynine]

I've never touched a SR game, but seeing the commercials for IV has me intrigued. Should I play The Third first to get a cheaper taste of gameplay?

I think I accidentally spoiled myself on that earlier but I guess that explains

why I can't romance him?

I recently played through SR3 on PC a few months ago and don't remember it being a problem.

I'm not sure what the deal is here.

Yep, it's bad. I can barely even hear the cars. They sound like Camrys lol. Mix is awful.

 

[Mechanized]

The rap/hip-hop station in this is killer. Amazing. What happened to the metal station?

I didn't notice this until you said it!

They had Dillinger Escape Plan in SR3.

I switched off voice chat and the sound mix turned normal for me.

It was removed due to it seeing the lowest use out of all the stations. I hate the fact that it was removed, too.

Thank you! Will try this whenever I get home!

 

[MechDX]

Finally got my Amazon copy

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

I forget what it's called, but the first article of clothing I bought was a long black leather coat.

Yeah, I saw a trenchcoat at the store. Not sure if you have to hack them to make it available.

NICE! Thanks.

 

[Trigger]

Mind Over Murder is almost illegally fun.

 

[CarbonRevenge]

Look at this amusing glitch. So funnay.

[AkuMifune]

Made it through the work day, and now have to suffer through a few hours of excruciatingly painful family fakery before I can get down to the serious nonsense of SR4.

Is the console frame rate as terrible as Gerstmann describes?

 

[Tohsaka]

Is the console frame rate as terrible as Gerstmann describes?

I started the PS3 version earlier and it's certainly not unplayable. It could be better, but it doesn't really affect my enjoyment of the game.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

Is the console frame rate as terrible as Gerstmann describes?

I haven't noticed any so far in the 3 hours I've played on PS3. The game is kinda blurry on PS3 though, especially going from the PC to the PS3 version. Doesn't matter to me though, the game is still awesome no matter what platform you play on.

Is there a way to break that glitch? I've just been saving and reloading. It's annoying.

If you haven't yet, try disabling voice chat in the audio options to see if that helps.

Yah, it happened to me once or twice. IIRC, I think I was able to use the stomp ability out of it.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Man, this game.

Just when I thought it had run out of clever surprises I ran into

Spoiler

Rowdy Roddy Piper fighting Keith David

and I was howling

 

[Neuromancer]

Is the console frame rate as terrible as Gerstmann describes?

Yeah. I'm playing on the 360 and it's pretty rough. The entire game really does hitch up for a couple seconds when the game autosaves, I think some other times too. It's not a framerate drop, for all practical purposes it's like the whole game pauses.

I'm very generous about technical issues so I'll play the game and deal with it, but if you're sensitive about stuff like that I wouldn't recommend the game.

 

[CarbonRevenge]

I don't think so without reloading. Guess we'll just have to wait for a patch.

That entire fucking level.

Holy shit. The game just goes to a new level entirely.

They Live.

 

[FantasyFreak07]

The dubstep gun is much more fun to use than I thought it would be...

 

[Dresden]

Man, this is so good. The superpowers and how incredibly varied some of the main story missions are puts it way over the top.

 

[Slackbladder]

Hmmm. Don't customize cars, it's glitchy. Got stuck and could'nt do anything. Also you really need to level the character before taking on some of the side missions.
But I am enjoying it. Looks good too (PC).

 

[Chris R]

I had real issues yesterday trying to gold the tank and mayhem missions so I stuck to just getting a silver on them

The time trial missions though, it's like I'm playing a good sonic game! Sooooo much fun.

 

[epmode]

Sometimes I wish I can change the pad controls to jump on a shoulder/trigger so I can jump and move the camera at the same time. I'm pretty sure I did this in Crackdown!

My kingdom for controller mapping! Even if it's just in the PC version!

What glitch? The floating off the ground one?

Angry Joe had it and got rid of it by tripping over a car.

 

[foladar]

The UFO activity was practically unplayable at times on Xbox, frame rates sub 5. Otherwise it's pretty bad but still bearable. Glitches here and there, three freezes in ~16 hours.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Some of the quest descriptions are great:

"We're stretching gameplay."

 

[Principate]

Man this thread... Godammit EU and your delays and the dodgy ass pc release of this game in the UK. I thought this game was out!

 

[GamerSoul]

The hacking mini-game is kinda fun. heheh

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I really hope there's a SR5, solely so I can see how they do the intro mission to that one. They've been getting more and more awesomely ridiculous in each iteration.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

All in all, I liked SR3 a lot, but felt the dialogue in the context of the situations always felt off and made each character one dimensional.

Setting it in virtual reality really helps masks how one dimensional each character is (even though that's kind of The Boss' entire arc in SR4).

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Need it on my phone. I like it in small doses. It's a bit easy to do in the square area, but for a phone/pad game they can have traps, and other little gameplay things in it to make it more interesting. Maybe have each lock different. A lock that don't list how many shapes you have to use, as a example maybe.

 

[Mononoke]

Is there a way to break that glitch? I've just been saving and reloading. It's annoying.

Just keep floating around until a car hits you. It might take a couple of tries (you need the car going fast) - then it will kick you into the fall animation and you will be out of it. Had this happen to me once.

Another glitch right now is if you alt tab out of the game, then the menus will no longer be responsive. It doesn't always happen if you alt tab out, but seems to happen if you alt tab out multiple times. Only way to get around this is to save your game, then just close it out entirely and re-boot it up.

(This is if you are in full screen mode of course).

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

I actually picked this up. Looks like I was wrong. This actually is a major improvement over the past game.

 

[U2NUMB]

The beginning cracked me up.. when this song kicks in I nearly lost it playing with a friend. Love the humor of the game

 

[thecouncil]

does the sun ever come out in this game?

the black/red cloudy nighttime motif is killin' me.
