I'm a little peeved that the first 1/3 of the main missions in this game are basically introducing you to the different side missions. I liked SR2's mission structure a lot better.
Looks really good on the PC though.

So buying a bunch of properties then just sitting in the game world for a few hours = tens of thousands of dollars. All upgrades here I come.

I have to wonder what game these people are playing if they are asking for more realism, especially in the driving. It sure as fuck isn't the same Saints Row 3 that I'm playing. Why would you want your cars to spin out like a merry-go-round every time you try to take a corner at faster than 20 mph?mxgt said:

Continued the game for a few hours tonight (about 67% done at roughly 12 hours). It's good but disappointing. I loved SR2 to death. SR3 just seems like it's a step back in most areas.

Anyone else not getting dynamic day/night cycles during the campaign? The time only statically changes for me, like after loads screens or missions.
Finished the game. Last few levels are excessively rough. I think this is one of the few games that throw as much shit at you as Prototype does. Ending was fine, but I was a bit disappointed about
the fact that Gat dies off screen, but he actually is dead despite the fact that vague deaths in games usually mean they're still alive. Did Kim want more money or something?

Hahaha! LMAO, I've seen this happen a few times, but never thought of following them. Great vid!mxgt said:

A lot of these assassinations get really fucking obtuse.
I can't tell if the game is glitching, just being a coincidental dick about spawning the right things, or I'm not doing what it asks in the incredibly vague description.

There's other stuff, too, like the pimp in Espinia.zoner said:
Max out the Morningwood notoriety (which I can't do, because they just stop showing up but STAG doesn't) and kill an undefined amount of hos, who themselves spawn really inconsistently.

Works best on busy streets and intersections with a lot of cars and pedestrians. Cars will often suddenly start ramming into people way off the street, slamming them into various objects. The best is when a bunch of cars start spazzing out and they end up stuck in a bunch. At which point you toss a grenade of course...ResidentDante said:
11 hours played and I still love it. Just did the trail blazer missions and got a sweet ass tron bike and car to roll around in, too bad I can't upgrade them like other cars.
Anyone know what the cooldown time of calling homies or vehicle request is? Or if there is an ability to make it go faster? Because that's a dumb thing to put cooldown on especially when i want a fast car but can't cause i have to wait.
Also being able to kill Brutes only by running up to them and pressing Y is hella dumb. Especially when doing the Genki runs or random survival waves and other people are doing the living crap out of you but you obviously want to get rid of the Brute before they get back up with some restored health.

Just beaten the game, +23 hours in with 45 out of 47 main missions completed (don't know which two I'm missing) and all properties bought and side activities done including the assassin challenges but not auto theft or in game challenges or hidden items. Don't know if thats holding me back from getting 100% from each island but what ever. I can tell you this much, Saints Row 3 is fun and alot good usage of music corroborating with the missions (love the last mission) and the script is fun as hell but plot holes be damn! Plus with the less customization, no advance melee mechanics, iffy voice acting, a few activity modes that are missing. I put Saints Row 2 slightly above Saints Row 3 because of that and it has a better coherent plot in my book.
Like I said before, SR2>SR3. There was basically no continuation plot wise from the past 2 games and felt more like a standalone title than anything else. Though, it is still a fun game and all and I really do like it but how do I say this......Two steps forward, one step backward
:/
Why kill Johnny Gat right in the beginning of the game with no dead body in sight and just a mention of a funeral, thats it. Nobody in the cast cared much about Gat's death except Shaundi (who I really dislike in this game than in SR2). I don't mind Johnny being dead in this game but he was the main dude in the first two SR2 games. That making his death unimportant in 3 felt rubbish and insulting. Volition, you guys could have done a better job with this. And hyping Philip Loren as the main bad guy and him dead early in the game felt bullshit to me too. Hulk Hogan's voice acting Angel de la Muerte made me not like the character at all. I like the Angel character alot but hiring Hogan as the VA wasn't a good choice. How can I relate to this ex-luchador when I all I can think of is Hogan. Took the experience away from the character. And KIA from STAG threw me off at the end, didn't like it one bit. Though, I did like Burt Reynolds playing as the Mayor and Sasha Grey did a superb job voicing Viola. Acutally all the side characters I did like except Pierce or Shaundi. And one more thing, where the hell is Dex since his story is not finish yet and at the end of SR2, he mention's going to another city so I was wondering when we were gonna have some answers from that plot but it seems Volition just didn't want to do anything else with it.
:/
Anyone else notice all the buildings that seem like they are there for a reason but seem to serve no purpose?
The main culprit is that Gothedral place, I mean, maybe it unlocks later, but it seems like the kind of location that would be a clothing store or something

I thought it sounded like my fem-shep in Mass Effect, but it doesn't look like it's her on imdb.FStop7 said:
I have a problem with the main story when you're still assembling:
After taking over Loren clone lab, where you can choose to save it or blow it up, you get a cutscene where the Saints are ambushed on a bridge.
Shaundi afterwards says the ambushers should pay for what they did to Gatt's funeral.
I don't recall them ever planning a trip to a funeral, seeing what happened there, and why they were on that bridge in the first place (coming back from Stillwater from the funeral?)
Quickly afterwards they're recruiting random key characters in rapid succession.
It all feels very janky and like I'm skipping stuff.

Still couldn't find out how to use my shark gun 
That said.. this game is incredible. So much fun. So goofy. The gunplay may not be the best, but I still have a blast in the shootouts, thanks to the crazy weapons and silly melee attacks.
This seriously might be my GotY. I love the freedom. Love the Respect progression system. 7 hours in, and I'm only at level 16
Looking forward to making it through the rest of the levels.

No, she is Laura Bailey ( voice of Rayne from Bloodrayne 1/2 and ,Catherine and Serah Farron from FFXIII)
Voice actress can change their voice to even sound like other people, it's their job, still no actress will be as good for The Saints boss as Katie Semine.
Had a chance to put a few more hours into it and it still seems that it's mostly a big step back from Saints Row 2 with exception to the graphics.
My biggest problem stems from the fact that they seemed to have made a playground for the single player missions instead of making it a sandbox game that included missions like the previous two. The world feels mostly bland and dead; there is no sea activity; no planes taking off from the airport, and most of the time the streets are dead of cars and people. Even the bystander interaction is extremely shallow now. In the first two games, you had pimp fights and prostitute uprisings breaking out left and right; in this game you get the same cops arresting someone and guy playing guitar copy/pasted on every block. In the previous game, bystanders would fight back too; in this game, they may try, but all it takes is one punch to send them running.
I'm also really disappointed with the gang interaction now, they will only aggro against other gang members or cops, and even then they seem pretty useless in this game, for something other than diversions of course.
The single player missions are pretty fun though, albeit a bit repetitive. I do have two questions:
- Has anyone seen a real-time day/night transition yet? From what I can tell time only changes when you enter/leave a building or start a mission <- disappointing.
- In the first games, as you took over territories, your homies would start to take over; you'd see them walking and driving around, and they would jump in and help you if something broke out. Does this happen in this game? I'm about 56% ownership on the Morningstar territory and I have yet to see any of my gang members around. When I die, I always have to go back to the penthouse to get some new followers; is this what's expected? (Shaundi and Pierce's phones are always busy).

Yep, they tend to hang out outside of properties you own. What version are you playing? I see the 'empty streets' complaint, and outside of weird occasions (suddenly no one is around for mayhem or insurance fraud) I haven't really run into that. There's usually a lot of people on the street.
