If all the gun stores are locked how am I supposed to get more ammo and upgrade my weapons?
Edit: never mind I figured it out

If you're on PC, Idolninja put out a mod that lets you change time of day from the start.
There's at least one storyline mission set during the daytime. Beating the game also unlocks the ability to change the time of day.

This should be a forced standard by console manufacturers next gen considering that there is an even greater focus on connectivity between players and the potential to be interrupted mid game.
I only played through the first 90 minutes or so, so far I'm having a pretty good time playing the game. You know who really loves playing this game though? Saint's Row 4. That game fucking loves to play this game. I sure wish I could play the same game the game plays sometimes, but the parts I can play are pretty good too.

Just go into your weapon switch part. Then you can change the music.

Weapon wheel, bottom left.
I like that idea.
I don't want to stop playing lol. Damn those pesky responsibilities.
I'm still getting use to changing abilities mid-air. It feels great messing around with them.

So far the ps3 version does not seem to be too bad I have not really pushed the game yet due to me not having my powers where they need to be.
As a 40k fan I find it amusing that I based my character off a Dark Eldar and I'm fighting aliens killing them between her legs....

It's the simulation. It's always at night.

I'm at around 61% completion and am just in love with this game. It's like the best parts of Crackdown and Hulk: Ultimate Destruction throw into the Saints Row universe. My only complaint is that I wish there were a proper day/night cycle. I can't stand that ugly sunset that you start off with. It's changed for me once so far but it's still very unappealing. Can't wait to see what kind of DLC they have in store.
I'm pretty sure that beating the game will give you control of the setting, but it's worth noting that taking control of the city will make things look slightly less red and brown.
What I've played of SR4 on PC, it's great but part of me actually wished that it wasn't called "Saints Row IV." I'd almost rather have Saints Row IV be on next-gen consoles with a completely new engine. It feels almost like "Saints Row: The Third The Second" to me....it's not completely addictive (like the first hour or so that SR:TT was), but I'm not expecting it to be truly mind blowing. More than likely, it'll get better.

hey, thanks. ill look into that.
yeah, thats what i was saying a little bit higher than you. its so drab.
heres the solution, supposedly. though it can only be implemented before you beat the sixth mission: The Escape.
Oh, there is no day/night cycle like in SR3? Just day/night binary?

So as I sit here rotating between my renditions of Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Zatanna, and other superheroes, I've come to the realization that Volition could potentially do something pretty crazy with SR5. Let's get "Option 1" out of the way first: Reboot. In many ways, there's nowhere to go from here if the Saints are to remain a "gang" in the way we've seen thus far. The Boss has become the POTUS. That's it. The Saints have reached their peak. On top of that, they're fighting aliens. There's nothing left in this version of Saints Row. On top of that, the sense of progression is 100% busted outside of immediate factors like player upgrades. Everything outside of that- clothes, property, cars, weapons, businesses- are all nearly immediately accessible or made irrelevant by the superpowers. SR2 had a great sense of progression, SR3 less so, and SRIV, aside from the powers, is gone. Within 5 hours you're a beast, and the game is set up in a way that all the "flashy" upgrades and city ownership doesn't mean nearly as much as it used to. This sounds like prime reboot material, which I would be fine with if it meant a return to SR2, but...BUT....what if.....
....What if Volition straight up turned Saints Row into a superhero franchise. I'm not finished with the story yet so I don't know where it goes, but here's my idea: These first 4 Saints games are the origin story. Not only for The Boss turning from a common street thug into a hero, but also the Saints becoming The Avengers, and mutants being created in SR3, and aliens being introduced in SRIV. Add to that the superpowers in SRIV which are a ton of fun, more fun than any weapon or vehicle in the series so far, and Saints Row 5 as a traditional superhero narrative writes itself. Instead of rebooting all the characters, you keep the characters and bump all of them up to superhero status in the real world. Set it in a new city, make new activities revolving around supervillains and stopping crime, bring back gangs but power them up like Infamous 2 and give them all a leader like SR2 and SR3, put random crimes in to the game like Spiderman 2, day/night cycle that affects the kinds of crime happening in the city, "World's Greatest" team ups with your crew, more super duels against enemies that can do what you do, parodies oh God the parodies.
Saints Row: The Age of Ultor. You're welcome, Volition.

They need to add Geomod too. I've been wondering why they haven't leveraged that tech, but with the console versions already rough I'm guessing it just wasn't possible.

Anyway to fix the ingame cinematics running at 30 FPS? This happens no matter what ingame settings I choose and whether VSync is on or off. The game reverts to solid 60 fps otherwise.

That eagle jet that comes with the collectors edition is hilarious my missiles now scree ch like eagles.
Holy crap, the framerate in the 360 version can get ROUGH.
Look at this recording from my stream:

Yeah, the video quality isn't great, but the framerate was just as bad on my TV screen. So far, this is the only time it's ever gotten this bad, but it was really bad...

I want to get going with the story, but I keep collecting clusters. That passes time so I get my cache of currency. So I buy new upgrades with both. Then I just keep fucking around in the city. Then I level up doing so and the cycle keeps going. Saints Row First World problems.
This entire game is a fucking mess. The audio is horrendous, the powers are janky as fuck,the main story missions are terrible, the graphics feel like a major step back from two, and the story is somehow extremely dull. Overall this has been a huge disappointment compared to SR3 which is one of my favorite open world games this generation.

Not finished with the game yet, but I have to say, as someone who was disappointed by SR3, this is a pretty damn good game. Really fun. I'm playing the 360 version, and it runs fine. What little slowdown there has been hasn't thrown me off.

Oh shit downloaded
Disappointed in a few things so far (77% complete):
- Too much recycled vocal work. I replayed SR3 a couple of weeks ago, and I've been listening to mostly the same clips from the main character during SR4 as then.
- The radio stations are awful for me. If you don't like reggae and dance music, you're pretty much stuck with modern rock or the mix. The song variety is pretty good, but the same songs seem to repeat a ton for me - I'm so sick of Biz Marquee, We Were Promised Jetpacks, and that Aw Shit song. They really need a few more stations.
- The game has crashed a lot for me, and as others have mentioned, the audio mix is all jacked up on PC.
All that aside though, it is a lot of fun. The move toward Crackdown/Prototype gameplay makes sense given the franchise's march toward absurdity. I don't really want another game in this vein though - I kind of hope they do something completely unexpected next time, like a hyper-realistic next-gen SR5.

Holy shit are the loyalty missions hilarious, just finished the one that was taken out of the AUS versions and gotta say, I feel. sorry for the Aussies out there, was an awesome mission and filled in some backstory.
That pisses me off too. I hate the blue glow on the character. I would I could do something like this for the PS3 version if I could.

I am so unbelievably frustrated that all the dev could come up with for half the missions is the same terrible "do this side mission and like it" bullshit from the last game. Oh good, do a genki bowl. Oh good, hack something. Oh good clear out the Zin. Oh good run this race. Oh good hack something else. So uninspired.
