hahah that was the best dlc thus far. Bounced like my checks did back in the day!
But it was dissapointingly short and a real bummer that the super powers arent unlockable. Im lvl50 and have like $5mill with nothing to spend it on.
Im not sure if im feeling satisfied with my season pass purchase, really hope that wasnt all we get.

Just finished the Clones DLC, terrible. I loved this game but the DLC has pretty much soured me on it. Well other than the shark gun, that's always fun to use.
Right now, I'd kill for some decent performance in this. AMD GPU user, still can't get a flat 60fps out of this. I struggle to think of another game where three GPUs and a 2500K isn't enough.
Although rest assured, they ARE working on a fix (according to their official forums). Never mind the fact that it's an AMD "Gaming Evolved"-endorsed game :/

Finally got around to playing this again. I was having a great time until this Three Way mission...it's seriously atrocious design, what a clusterfuck. I keep having to retry because Pierce gets killed. Is there much more after this? I might just drop it if it's the last mission.
edit - Rage uninstalled, but now I regret it so I'm installing again lol. I haven't been so aggravated by a game in a long time, but I'll probably just enable God mode and get it over with so Stag will fuck off and let me do other stuff.

What difficulty are you playing it on? There's some pretty amazing stuff afterwards so fight through the pain.
Just normal. This is the only part of the game I've had any difficulty with. I made it to the second battlezone with the dude in the tank, but I didn't have any heavy weapons to use against him and his super lazers would either kill me or one of my homies in a couple hits. It's a bitch because the checkpoint is set before the 6000ft drive to the battlezone, so it takes forever to get up to that part.
Now I'm waiting like an idiot for it to reinstall, I could have beaten it by now. I would just ignore it and do activities but the constant attacks from Stag are annoying
. Oh well, switching to easy or cheats will do the trick.Neuromancer

Good luck duder, it'll be worth it. Unfortunately it's been quite some time since I played that part so I have no advice to give.Just normal.

Lol wtf sucks about the driving controls? They are responsive, just enough arcade feeling etc.. This isnt "serious business GTAIV with boat cars".
Also goddamnit Volition, how about some free fucking DLC or something? A few outfits here and there? Some goodwill for the fans?
I havent bought a single DLC pack for Saints Row 3, sadly I dont see any free DLC coming like for SR1 ( Unkut clothing? Remember? ). Sucks.

Certainly nothing more that'll fall under the season pass.

I liked Gangstas in Space but not the Trouble with Clones.

Trouble with Clones and Gangstas in Space are good, but don't bother with Genkibowl.

I thought the framerate was great on Ps3.
But I traded it today for Kingdoms of Amalur. I wasn't gonna replay this since they forgot to add a mission select screen, or were to obnoxious to add it.
Let's just hope Saints Row 4 can be to SR3 what SR2 was to SR1.
Also, freaking superpowers?
Meh. Is this game gonna be like InFamous or Crackdown now?

Just started playing and it has started turning into a slide show at certain points on 360.
So I only started playing the game and I think it's good. The on-foot controls took a while to get used to. I think the shooting in this game, apart from stationary weapons, is loose. The camera needs a lot of work as it's often disorienting. I also dislike the way the aircrafts, especially helicopters, are controlled in this game.
Apart from those gripes, I'm having a lot of fun in the silly missions, weapon variety, and utter chaos during fights.
I'm only in the middle (?) of the second act. I'll try to finish the story soon and then start doing the challenges.

I really like how crazy and funny Saints Row the third is. For those of you that visit Giantbomb, you could say I have the same type or appreciation for this game that those guys do. Never played the first 2 saints games...well I did try the first one a long time ago, but remember feeling like it was so janky and not fun to play, that I had no interest. Never gave the second one a try for sure though. Is either one worth going back to and playing?

Saints Row 2 is an amazing game, if you can get past the graphics that are dated now you'll have a lot of fun.
SR1 on the other hand, while good at the time, I just can't imagine holds up on any level.
Wow. This game is really, really fun. I'm not really good at gushing, but I'll try.
I really did enjoy GTAIV, but this game is scratching the itches that game neglected. Its doing it so well, that I really hope GTAV keeps going in a more serious direction because I don't think they can top what Volition is doing. They got the classic open world sandbox style down. A lot of great moments so far.
One thing I hope is that the missions keep their variety, because its been really good about that so far.
After playing so much Just Cause 2, I'm really missing the ability to just zip back to my vehicle once I fall off of it. That's not really this game's fault though.

I'm playing through the game a 2nd time and my only real complaint is its a big hassle having to do all the introductory activity missions again. They should let you opt out of those.

Man, I played this game the other day. Big fan of SR2 but last year's holiday season was packed for me so it went on the backburner.
God DAMN that was a lot of fun. I think the activities are mostly disappointing rehashes of SR2(outside Genki, which is brilliant), but the missions are just fantastic in all their wacky ideas and execution. The licensed music bits like "Power" and "I Need a Hero" were incredibly inspired choices.
I also have to comment on how enjoyable the story is. I picked regular white guy voice #1, and he was REALLY good. He nails all his lines with the right mix of smug awesomeness, rage, sardonic off-hand comments, everything. Keep that guy around. In fact, pretty much all the characters are a lot of fun. Why I wasn't a big fan of Johnny Gat being killed off-screen, I think it was an inspired, bold choice by the developers to get rid of him early on. His death drives a lot of drama in the story later on, and the absence of Gat's huge persona is filled with fun, interesting characters to help the Saints out. I even enjoyed the old crew of Shaundi and Pierce, and I love the running gags with both of them(Shaundi can't stand Berk/Nyte Blade, and Pierce NEVER got to finish that damn chess game with Oleg). The only clunker was autotune pimp guy, who I felt was really one-note, and his shtick/missions got old pretty fast.
Absolutely love big finale mission with
Just a shitload of fun, through and through. Well done, Volition.

the city going crazy and all the space the developers gave you to work with however you like. The choice at the end seemed tough for a second, but really going to the monument was the only way to go. You already beat Killbane at his own game, took his mask, ruined his rep, and now he's runnin' like a bitch out of the city. Like Angel said, beating him that way is worse then death. One of the recurring themes in the Saints Row series is how many friends you lose among your way to the top, most of all being Johnny that drives so much of the story. There's no way I was gonna let my friends die if I can help it, especially with that music playing, lol.

The game lets you go back and do the other one. I agree with your take, but it's worth seeing both end games.

After finishing this, I really really hope SR4 borrows a lot from JC2. Maybe have that grapple an item or something.

Asked in the official Steam sale thread but I thought I'd put this here as well since that one moves so quick -
If I haven't played Saint's Row the Third before would it still be a good idea to just go wild on DLC purchases? I see a lot of stuff about new vehicles and weapons and such and I'm wondering if any of it is overpowered for somebody going through a first runthrough.

Shark gun is a dollar. Otherwise, probably not, wait to see if the season pass drops under $5.
Definitely none of the DLC mission packs. Too short and most of them of largely uninteresting.
Thanks for letting me know. Really enjoying Saints Row so I though maybe the DLC was worth it.
The shark gun does look kind of fun!
Quick question: if I buy, for example, the Invincible Pack.
The description says "More cheats than you'll know what to do with. Never worry about dying or running out of ammo! Unlock the Get Down Cheat that makes you ultra limber."
So, cheats? But those disable automatic saving and achievements, right? Why would they sell those?
