How do I add them to my queue?

I have 4 characters, they're all set as public but the only options remaining are to name them, tag them or delete them.

After I saved them I had to reload the page and then I could click the picture to take me to the details page and added to the queue from there.

It has great potential, but it needed to be more user friendly, and finished by the release date. And have a working search tool.

[DrAndonuts]

Yeah, I totally agree. The same problem existed in SR2. The player should be able to sell back properties to rival gangs for quick cash (and a revived enemy presence) or something similar IMO.
Maintaining some kind of challenge/threat for the player is obvious to me so Im not sure why Volition excluded this potential again. I still love SR3 though
You can get into trouble with gangs, even after %100'ing all areas, its just tricky.
I still got the odd call up on the phone, to kill off a spawn of enemies. Some assassination targets will spawn enemy gangs and if all else fails, you can complets an (easy) pimp escort activity. Just make sure the rival gang members are at the hooker drop off point when you complete the activity, and they will remain there when the activity ends.

I tried to do the Snatch activity to taunt gang members, but they don't count towards the challenge. I think they have to be outside of missions.

That sorted it, cheers!

EU people will also be able to download SR2 for free.

via PlayStationEU's twitter: "PS3 owners who redeem their Saint's Row: The Third online passes before Feb 13 2012 will get a free digital copy of Saint's Row 2."

 

[madkiller]

My copy arrives tomorrow. Can't wait.

I was pretty upset by

Spoiler

the death of Johnny Gat.

Spoiler

Not so much when it happened though. When it happened, I thought he was still alive. Like, the plane went down and he was captured and is being experimented on somewhere by Morningstar like Oleg or something. I didn't think he was really dead.
I'm only midway through the game and I got online to try to figure out when he would be back, expecting a reunion mission where he has to be rescued, and then find out his death is permanent and the VA wants to dedicate his self to Hawaii 5-0.

So disappointed...
I'll miss ya, buddy.

It's a bummer, but I'm more upset by

Spoiler

the way it happened. Off camera death for Johnny Gat is lame, even if he's facing down all of Morningstar while flying a passenger jet.

It was not a fitting way to go, that's for sure.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Put about 30 hours into this since Friday and I've loved every one of them. I might even do some missions at some point.

Hah, this was me, then I started doing the missions and unlocked even more toys to mess with.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Then I tried the PC version at a buddies place this weekend. His machine is pretty decent as well (i7 2600k + 6970) and the framerate was extremely unstable. To get it playable we had to drop details a bit and limit the framerate to 30 fps. Even then it wasn't completely consistent. Without the limiter it jumps all over the place and feels generally poor.

AMD bug. If he had a Nvidia card he'd be running silky smooth. i7/GTX 570 here.

Weird, I have a 6970 too and it runs silky smooth for me, except when I am speeding it dips to the 50s.

 

[NIN90]

Snatch has to be worst activity closely followed by Heli Assault.

 

[FrontalMonk]

Snatch has to be worst activity closely followed by Heli Assault.

I disagree. Insurance Fraud can go die in a fire.

 

[Xevren]

Insurance Fraud is fun, it can just be frustrating when wherever you go no vehicles show up. That crap sucks.

Ahhhhh, so DDK IS Gat. I figured.

 

[FrontalMonk]

yeah, my biggest problem is when you hit the harder ones where you need to hit like 450k in damages and you have to hope and pray you hit one or two of those big chains worth a ton, because otherwise there's just no way. Heli assault I haven't had a problem with yet, and admittedly I haven't put enough time into snatch.

 

[ctrayne]

So disappointed...
I'll miss ya, buddy.

Yeah, pretty sad the way it was handled. It was so obviously "off" that I can't help but wonder if they had animated more scenes

Spoiler

like the missing funeral

but had some kind of disagreement with the actor that made it so they pulled the scenes. Would explain the bizarre handling of it - it just doesn't seem like Volition's style.

That's really the only big negative in the game for me. Everything else was rockin'.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

I tried to do the Snatch activity to taunt gang members, but they don't count towards the challenge. I think they have to be outside of missions.

Once you have enemies present after doing (easy) snatch, run into one of your owned shops to make them passive, and then taunt them. That will count towards the taunt total.
You can only taunt each individual enemy one time. Taunting previously taunted enemies wont go towards the total, so just wait for fresh backups and taunt them.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I'm still wondering about how I'm going to break the news to my brother about

Spoiler

Johnny Gat's death

.

Still can't believe it.

 

[Darklord]

Are there any mods(or mod sites) for this game on PC? Even small ones like in Just Cause 2 were great fun, I hope we see something like that on this game.

are you serious? THATS the reason it went down the way it did?

 

[MMaRsu]

So goddamn lame. I didnt believe it at first either, what a blow to sr fans imo.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Put a lot more time into this over the weekend. I haven't hardly bothered with any missions as I've been enjoying just running around buying outfits, seeing the city, collecting cars, and shooting gang members. This and Skyrim could well keep me busy until February.

 

[Totobeni]

pre-order bonus should really die in a fire

My Friend in the UK bought it from Amazon.UK to have Genki pre-order bonus, he even used first class to get it on the relese day,Amazon/Royal mail lost his copy apparently and as of today they refunded him.

now..he didn't play the game for days because he was waiting his copy,He will never get Professor Genki ,He will buy it again and wait extra days to get his new copy ( with no Genki)that he paid for before but luck wasnt in his side.

so yeah, pre order bonuses are shitty business.

The game is fun as hell, but man, the performance is SOOOOOOOO bad on all platforms. I purchased it on PS3 and, while there is no tearing, the framerate is just so out of control to the point where it interferes with the experience. I've watched a lot of 360 footage as well and it looks even worse.

Then I tried the PC version at a buddies place this weekend. His machine is pretty decent as well (i7 2600k + 6970) and the framerate was extremely unstable. To get it playable we had to drop details a bit and limit the framerate to 30 fps. Even then it wasn't completely consistent.

If you look at many posts in the thread you will see that it run flawlessly on nvidia cards, so yeah ,this is the usual performance issues with games and Ati/amd cards again.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

So goddamn lame. I didnt believe it at first either, what a blow to sr fans imo.

so whats gonna happen when its cancelled? He comes crawling back and we get some clone? lol. Wow that sucks, I feel bad for Volition.

This. My brother and I both have nvidia cards and the game plays like a dream. Loving it so far. Seems like another reason to avoid ATI, but I'm a fanboy.

 

[EYEL1NER]

I don't know for sure. I wasn't there for his meetings with Volition.
But that is what I have read, is that Hawaii Five-0 is his main focus.

 

[thehillissilent]

We need more gifs and screenshots in this thread. OnLive has tons of crazy brag clips (10 second clips) of some crazy stuff (random chaos, crazy character customizations, glitches, funny cutscenes, etc) that people have recorded during playing the game. I'd imagine youtube would have even more so. I regret that I didn't record much myself. This game is ripe.

 

[ctrayne]

Agreed, I think I was too absorbed by the game to remember to save clips. Kind of a good problem to have.

Once Volition gets their shit together with the website, you'll see a lot more screenshots. I have a bunch uploaded, just waiting for the web side issues to get resolved.

I can't imagine that show lasting longer than two seasons, so this sounds like an astonishingly bad decision.

I forgot to mention this earlier, but I was shocked to hear Hybrid - Just for Today during

Air Steelport

(around 2:20 on the track). Really classy tune and totally unexpected.

 

[Milly79]

I am looking for this too

How do I actually view the full screenshot? I'm only seeing thumbnails and the rename/make public/save bit at the bottom.

Not to be a PITA, but maybe spoiler exactly where you heard it, since that part can be a surprise?

Actually that would fit right in with the SR universe.

Plus we all know CheapyD is the next Johnny Gat.

 

[Qatar]

I finished the whole game with 100% on my save file, in 26 hours. Of course some of that time I spent on roaming around the city and having fun with my coop friend and killing each other
still left to do: complete the rest of vehicle delivery and challenges.

I'm thinking of getting the Shark gun DLC, so awesome.

[jediyoshi]

I disagree. Insurance Fraud can go die in a fire.

It wouldn't be so bad if they somehow let the world populate first before the event starting. You'd think they would have also had it so that all cars would always be in the aggressive driving mode.

I have no clue on that either, sorry. D:

Doesn't look like you can.

 

[bloodydrake]

So this is the latest, and last, tweak to my Ron Perlman Character. I think its as close as I can get.
Its weird I can pick Biker gang outfits that are really close to SOA for gang members but I can't buy the same biker leather vest for my Character..so I'm stuck with the 50's style leather Coat for Clay.
Game is like Crack tho just love doing stuff.

 

[jgminto]

Insurance Fraud was a lot worse in SR2. All of those times you'd get run over while not limp and wouldn't get any points while also decreasing your time and meter.

 

[bloodydrake]

ya i've always hated insurance fraud..never could get the controls and always frustrated with the fact that whichever way you faced had slow traffic and as you turn to face another direction the faster cars just passed by..ugg hehe
sometimes it worked well like the bridge in stillwater where there were endless transports or the overpass at the airport..but some of those other sections were very frustrating

 

[Dead Man]

Those having trouble with Insurance Fraud, go to a freeway, and your troubles will be gone.

Insurance Fraud was a lot worse in SR2. All of those times you'd get run over while not limp and wouldn't get any points while also decreasing your time and meter.

And it was limited to a hood, if there was no freeway you may as well give up.

I'd say you did a good job, I could recognize him immediately. A friend and I are playing through the whole thing in co-op and tried to think of a number of pairs we could play as, but with the steampunk goggles and female voice 2, we knew that Anna and Gunther had to happen.

 

[CATDAFELIX]

Official website updated this morning so stats and screenshots are up now. Here's a replacement for that iphone pic I took b4.

Insurance fraud was my favourite activity in saints row 1. They completely messed it up in saints row 2 and 3. Its just not fun anymore.

Done. May want to edit your quote now.

Yeah, much much better this time around.

Wow they went in-depth with the stats.
