Beat the game. Quite fun, working on challenges, so far it's grind heavy. Achievements hunters will be pissed off at the "Distance travelled by Alien Ship" out of 762,000m challenge for the Challenge King achievement. So far rubber banding my controller. Really annoying.

The explanation on how
Johnny Gat
didn't die was so fucking hilarious. Haha,
Johhny
is the ultimate bad ass in the Saints Row franchise.


Is it only in the simulation or them bringing him back properly as in 'real life' as well ? I don't want to know how but just if they're bringing him back for good or temporarily

Is there an extended music track for the porn music that starts playing when you romance someone?

It's them bringing him back for good in the real world. The explanation behind it is both funny and somewhat a good reason for what happened to him.

Ugh, not looking forward to that. I'm not really making that much progress in the story since I keep getting sidetracked by Clusters and side quests/activities.

Weird. I suddenly can't launch the game anymore, getting a "The Steam servers are too busy to handle your request for Saints Row IV. Error Code (3)."

Yeah, at first I was thinking this looked like a pretty easy Plat, but some of those Challenges are just annoying. Also... TWELVE HUNDRED FIFTY FIVE data clusters?!

Nuuvem's European keys are now available!

Yep downloading now :) Absolutely superb service, I'd happily use them again. They really went out of their way for us international customers.

I didn't get an email yet either, check your Nuuvem account if you haven't already. Keys were already their for me (one for the game and one for the Commander In Chief pack)
 
Just stoped because I have to wake up to work tomorrow, but best intro ever.
BTW, first chapter spoilers:
Have they changed the voice of
Cirus
in this game, just beated the third again the other week and sounded totally different.
Loved that
Oleg (and Nytebalde)
was there kikcing the shit out of someone.

To be fair collecting data clusters is one of the most fun things to do in the game. The new traversal methods you have make collecting that stuff pretty addictive.
 
Loved this mission, did you fail the mission at any point? I did when
I killed a guard before I shot the light, Asha Screams "Boss?! BOSS?! BOSSSSSSSSS?!"
I was dying :D

Yup, intentionally did just to see if they did it, and they did.

Keith David mission close to the end:
HOLY SHIT! I did not see that one coming!

Everything about that was incredible, right up to the end.

Unlocked 2 hours ago in Europe, so had a quick go before bed.

Those two opening missions are unbelievable. This is the funniest thing I've seen, game or otherwise, in years.

Leave it to the Saints!

Dis freaking game, man so awesome, just going around getting orbs. Worth the purchase already.

Is Hardcore recommended?

I started a hard-core play through since I heard normal was easy, seems fairly ok though I've only barely started the game so no idea how the difficulty ramps up later.

I haven't died once yet. I'm about 50% in and practically invincible. I wish there was a bit more challenge but that's not really what SR is about.

Is there any way I'm missing to fire guns while super jumping? I know you can blast but being able to hop up and charge up a rocket launcher as you're coming down would be sweet.

Anyone have any tips for the first Carnage minigame with the
black hole gun
? No matter what I do I can't get above $700,000. I try going for the fences and debris but can never find enough stuff or enemies to take out :-(

Hopefully someone can help me on this store hack because i am completely fucking stumped right now.

I have been mulling over this damn thing for a good 30 minutes and i know it's something stupid but i just want to get past this. BTW, it's not a spoiler, it's just 1 of 100 store hacks i am stuck on.

Quick and dirty

If someone's never played Saints Row, are there any that should be skipped? Would I be okay with just Saints Row 4?

Hmm, good question, there's a ton of referential stuff in the game tho I think 1 can be skipped since most of the references/jokes are from 2 & 3. Though the game does do a good job explaining what's happened to specific characters prior to loyalty missions. If you don't have the time for it I think you'll still enjoy SR4 if you just jumped in. Its not essential to have played the others but some of the callbacks work alot better if you had

Saints Row 4 basically has everything from Saints Row 3, plus a huge boatload of other stuff. It's perfectly fine to start with 4. There aren't really any story beats or character moments you need to know from previous games either.

You should definitely play 3. Although I think 2 is the better game, there's more carry over from 2. I don't think you'll get as much out of it without having played the previous games though. A lot of references will fall flat.

Easy, work from the endpoint. There's only one piece you can fit under that X, and that's a straight. the next piece is either an L or a straight so...

Hardcore is a pain for like an hour until you get Blast. Normal is just way too easy most of the time.

Ok thx, I went with Hardcore and it's seems like a pretty balanced difficulty so far.

Any way to get rid of the framerate lock (30fps) in cutscenes btw? Feels weird going from 120fps to 30.

edit: The audio-issues are also very annoying. I can barely hear any sound effects, no car sounds etc.
