Most annoying perk in the game. Can't even sprint without getting a bounty. I recommend not purchasing that until after you've completed all the blazing activities.

Cranked the difficulty up to hard, already feeling like a bit of a tank.

I think the game skipped me past some story stuff. Just now realizing I have no idea where CID came from.
When it's upgraded it's an absolute monster.
It was my main "fuck this, destroy everything" weapon throughout the game.
Yeah. Almost feel bad for using it, but once I get sick of playing with them Zin then IT'S DUBSTEP TIME. Feels so good.

Had the same exact thing happen to me. I actually had to check some YouTube LP to see what had been skipped. I had accepted the mission while on the ship and, since I wasn't in the simulation, I missed all of the "system" dialogue that setup the mission.
Kind of a bummer they hadn't thought of that, and just had the dialogue play when you DID get back into the simulation, but I'm finding the mission queues to be buggy as hell.
You've got the above example, along with if you complete the initial objective in the side missions - the mission dialogue starts out on the 2nd (or 3rd, ect) prompt - sometimes leaving you clueless as to what is going on. I like that the game doesn't have me go through the same side mission stuff again, but it isn't exactly smart about how it treats the items you'd completed in advance.
Which leaves me at the point I'm at now - which is not doing ANY of the side missions unless the game asks me to so that I don't miss any of the setup, or character moments. Sadly, this makes the game kind of a chore to play through as you are just going from side mission to side mission instead of doing the actual story beats from the main mission.
Related point - what the hell was going on with Shaundi's first mission?
I remember there being some comment about there being a simulation of the plane mission from SR3, but the leap to it being Johnny Gat's prison made no sense. It was one of those situations where I felt sure I had missed some more dialogue because everything about that mission felt really out of place.

Hah yeah, dub step gun is so darn powerful. I wonder if the dubstep rain does any damage.

Kinzie finds a simulation prison involving a plane. The Boss is convinced its Johnny Gat's while Kinzie mentions its more likely Shaundi's since Gat's supposed to be dead. The Boss is convinced its Gat until he runs into Shaundi in the mission.
Almost at the end, 16 hours in and currently at 90%, this game REALLY loves to crash, even more sound glitches and just audio not being there where it should be, add to that the same audio log playing every single time i load a save.
Also hating how most if not all story missions switches your weapons, never to a weapon i have upgraded.
Edit: Did the last mission, currently at 95% with 17:43 on the clock, not sure if i'm going for the last 5%, sorta had my fill, overal very enjoyable game let down by lots of technical issues, a boring ass world and the game not being designed with the powers in mind

since they also loves taking them away.
What?
Yeah...but didn't they publicly announce it? I saw a trailer on their own YouTube channel, and they even tweeted about it. I guess I understand why you would be angry though.
You've known, but others may not have.
It's better to be overly cautious than not cautious enough.

Put in another hour or so this evening, and about to go back in. I finally got over my OCD and started playing the Main Story missions before clearing out all the side quests. Have a much better time seeing just how deep Volition is willing to go on backstory for these characters, and seeing more of that clever 'I can't believe I am playing this' sections too.
Still a bit bummed by some of the glitching that is happening, but I'm much more back on board with SR4 after getting a good dose of the main story out of the way. Just wish they could bring *some* of that creativity to the structure of the side missions.

I don't think there is, but when the sdk gets released I bet some modders will be adding or changing radio stations.

I don't know what you are talking about I loved that mission, I was dying of laughter.

True! The few of those I've gotten to have been great. I guess I'm just nitpicking at this point, since the main missions have been great so far, and the loyalty missions have also been fun. If anything I blame myself for going OCD on the side missions and getting burned out.
One day I'll overcome that 'have to finish ALL THE THINGS' mentality before getting to this point and just play what I actually enjoy in the game.
Not listening to Mad Decent radio should be a criminal offense.

Most fun firearm?
I was using the America thing but it makes the game too damn easy, even on Hardcore.
Most satisfying firearm so far has been the Anton Chigure quiet shotgun. You still need to aim but the spread makes it more forgiving and one shot kills are possible and if you're face-to-face you don't even need to aim for the face.

Yeah, that was one of my most used weapons. I wore the Uncle Sam outfit and had the USA skin on that shotgun (don't remember what it's called).

Holy shit, that post-credits scene.
That is perhaps the best person to have been narrating a parody. Now, SR5 is gonna be a parody of a parody. It's gonna be nuts
Oscar Wilde would have also worked.

I would love to see a time-traveling mechanic in a future game. Even something as simple as going back and forth between SR1/SR2 Stillwater could make for some very creative missions.
My ultimate scenario would be if they made a huge environment - include Stillwater, Steelport, one other brand new huge city that could normally stand on its own in a whole game, and maybe another small city or two, connect them all on one giant map like in San Andreas - and then have at least three different time periods to go back and forth from. That'll open the opportunity for some RDR parody.

I'm so bummed that this game is such a mess for so many people in here. It's definitely going to be in my top 10 for the year, but I can't in good conscience defend something that's intended to be mod friendly that seems like it won't even work properly for half of the people playing it on PC.
Final three missions were great. I don't what the hell this game is or if it deserves to be called a Saints Row, but I want more of it.
