Im too scared to take over %100 of areas because Im worried I'll get bored later on, when there wont be any enemy gang presence because of it. No bad guys to kill = boring
I also havent upgraded ANY of my gang stuff yet because I dont want them showing up in fire fights and stealing my kills

I haven't run into any of these issues in the 10 hours or so I've put in so far. PC version, for what its worth.obonicus said:
Nothing like just wandering around a busy street with a crew of three randomly shooting at cars and watching them spazz out, often right into each other and pedestrians. Get enough of them stuck together and add in a few grenades for more awesome. You could pretty much do the same thing in SR2, but it looks so much prettier now!Dead said:Man, rampagin in this game is so fun
Cant wait to use the cheat to turn everyone into furries.
And is it just me, or does the whole "instant drop all notoriety to zero" when entering a crib or owned store seem a bit cheap and easy this time around?
I'm about halfway through Act 3. Just discovered
and I've been really enjoying the game overall. But I've got one major problem with the game. It's more style than substance in the last game. While there is still a bunch of stuff in the game, there seems to be some basic stuff missing from the previous one. The lack of detailed clothing options is the most disappointing for me. The removal of multiple clothing layers in SR2 restricts the character customization quite a bit and a lot of the clothing options end up looking bulky. I'm also missing the best side mission from SR2, Fuzz. For the life of me I can't understand why anyone could choose the garbage that is Mayhem over Fuzz. The removal of the Sewage Truck and the accompanying missions is also puzzling. And I may just be mistaken but I also haven't seen a single train in Steelport. There are tracks but I haven't seen any on them. And that would be a shame with the great throwing mechanics in SR:TT. And that also reminds me that the Bodyguard missions have also been removed.
Overall I'm happy with the game but these exclusions definitely disappoint me.

What I read gangs will try to take back their territory you took from them.

I hope you're right. The biggest problem with SR2 was that when you beat everything, there were no bad guys left to kill. The only armed response was from cops, and I feel guilty if I kill them :/
In SR2, sometimes when you complemented a female cop, she'd say "if you like us so much, why do you kill so many of us?" Feels bad man

Got my game and instantly co-op'd with my friend. This game is amazing so far. The refinements from SR2 are nice, especially the animations and UI. I like how third mission in you already get a hold of the Reaper. Badassery. Reviews weren't kidding about the 'economy' so much to get this time around. Looking forward to sinking my teeth into this over the weekend.
Man, I wish the zombie cheat was coop. Do it Volition!

Also I just want to say I hate the new notoriety notification system. In SR2 it was so easy to tell how much longer you had to wait to lose the cops. Now the badges just flash which really isn't helpful. Also the gang meter no longer specifies which gang is attacking you. I don't know if all of the gangs attack you at the same time in TT though so if that happens then that doesn't really matter.

So has anyone seen the time change without dying or finishing a mission? I've been idling for 20 minutes and it's still as dark as it was when I left it.

Yeah it's insane. I lucked out and finished it with a half-destroyed truck after my own car got blown up and we just ran into a truck the other gang brought.
That one is crazy. The brutes seriously are a bad addition to me - they're just bullet (and apparently 3 rockets) sponges and they're INCREDIBLY annoying in those activities.
The trick I did find in Trafficking is to make sure you shoot a rocket at cars that have brutes that are following you while going between spots. Seriously, if you get a car down with a rocket, the brute seems to either die instantly or he just gets knocked back and you never see him again.

Like the underglow on cars. Or do you have to switch that on somehow?
And just because I posted this I almost instantly found one.

I think I got a pleasure boner when Tyler The Creator started blasting from my speakers. Seriously did not expect him to be in it.
Just finished Act II. The final mission of Act II is bananas and had me literally LOL. That doesn't happen too much in vidya these days for me. Adolescence kicking back in I guess :-D

Performance is awful on my PC too. i5-750 @ 3.0GHz/Crossfire 5850s. Weird to go from a smooth 60fps in BF3 to a choppy, stuttery 20-40fps in SR3.Stahsky said:

Ive beaten 33 out of the 47 main missions, and I like it very much overall. I've played for about 8-9 hours so far. I didn't really care for some of the side missions that they forced you to play. I did like Guardian Angel side mission though. I like flying in the helicopter and shooting fools. I'm hoping that I can beat the main story by the weekend before I start to co-op with someone.
About 45% through the main story. So far I love it and I expect it to get crazier (haven't finished Act 2 yet).
Some thoughts:
The Cockney voice isn't as good, true, but he's still funny and I noticed he has different lines than the default voice. He muttered something about chavs on one mission and it was brilliant.
It feels like the game is designed to be played multiple times, especially at least once SP and once co-op.
The campaign is a nice way to enjoy a fun story and get all the crazy gear so you can complete side missions/activities/collectibles/general screwing around, which is half the point of the game anyway.
Whored mode is fun
I don't love the DLC scheme - I feel it's unfairly hurting the gaming public's perception of the game. But I got the game for very cheap, so buying DLC is not a financial problem for me, BUT I hate to support that kind of behavior. BUT I also want more SR:TT. Bleh.
I love Zimos.
"So THIS is what it's like to be Shaundi." ... "I'm naked?"
Game is awesome.

Not sure if you guys can see this, but some of the Volition guys posted an inside look at the mocap and voice recording. Cool video.

I made Christina Hendricks!
WorthPlaying Review is up = 8.5/10
Some snippets.
Overall, I'd rank the games in the series as follows:
Saints Row 2 = Still the best.
Saints Row the Third = Can't quite match the overall package of 2, but still worth the cash.
Saints Row = A fine start to the franchise, but the weakest of the series.

Still pretty early on the storyline (just got to the point where you get multiple missions to choose from) as I've mainly been wandering around, buying all the properties, doing a couple activities, and a bunch of the diversions (assassinations, etc). Is it just me or is the story feeling a bit rushed? Characters are making references to stuff that were completely skipped over, stuff that would have been played through as a story mission in SR2.
I get the feeling that SR4 would be a lot meatier in this regard as there'd be less time spent on just building the city itself and more time can be spent on building out missions. Hell, I'd love SR4 to have both Stilwater and Steelport in it along with a new smaller third city and link them all together San Andreas style (as long as building out said new city doesn't take away from building up the missions).

Because it runs at like 15fps maxed out on two 5850s, no exaggeration. Hope the AMD drivers are out by next week.DennisK4 said:
