Saints Row The Third |OT| Oscar Worthy Gameplay

Finally started this game today. Only an hour or two in and I already love it.

I don't know why, but the Giddy Up! complement makes me laugh. Every single time.
 
I wish there were more story missions. The games says there's 47 but that's a lie. A bunch of them were just tutorials for activities and others weren't even missions. You would just drive to a location and watch a short cutscene.

Other then that I enjoyed the game. It's the first Saints Row I've been compelled to finish. I really like that they got
Rob Van Dam to do the MurderBrawl commentary.

What's the easiest way of getting the taunt gang members challenge after all of the city is controlled? The police should really count towards it.

Okay, so how do you get high res screens you uploaded from the community site? I've read some posts here, but i'm just not seeing it.

I think you can taunt your own members in your strong holds. not sure.

Thanks, I'll try that out. I got my screenshots by going to Community, Map, My Map, clicking the photo icons and saving the images. There may be an easier way but I don't know it.
 
Cutscenes are pretty hilarious when wearing any masks/costumes.

Question about the Helicopter garage - if I fly a helicopter and don't return it, will I lose it forever or do they respawn in the garage?

Anything you store is there forever. Storing it again only creates dupes, which you can delete from your garage if you did.
 
Fuck... wish (story) activities had checkpoints.

Keep on dying near the end for the fbi chick's 'protect me' mission. Stop steering into the way of my rockets bitch!

The devs even acknowledge this. If you rip the audio files from the disc you can see that they've named the mission music up to 24. That means that there are 24 "real" missions, including
both ending missions
, which seems plausible to me. Can't recall perfectly but judging from my playthrough that number sounds alright.

Finished the story in 9 hours, really disappointing. Fun while it lasted though.


I blame THQ(we know the team made the game from scratch and half of them were fired) but still not an excuse when we know they already making dlc,and that just wrong when the sequel have less feature/missions than its predecessor then the DLCs milking bullshit should be out of question,simple like that.

so All DLCs and their missions ( Genki/Genkibowl,Gangstas in Space,Nyte Blayde) even that standalone mini game Money Shot or whatever should have being included with the package, but yeah THQ is really a horrible publisher.

One thing to watch out for in those, if you blow up stuff too close to whoever your protecting it will damage them. I let cars get some distance even if they get a few shots off to avoid that. I killed Pierce I don't know how many times before I realized they weren't immune like in the past.

I was disappointed to see that the preorder DLC was (or, at least seems to be) a costume, that car and that squid gun thing. I was under the impression that there were more missions or something.

I don't think I'll feel the need to get DLC for this. It really does almost seem like content was withheld when it's announced this close to launch.

Did you know Halo invented the FPS?
I want to say thank you THQ for making a proper PC port. I love the option of switching the game to my secondary monitor which is my 40 HDTV!
 
Really bummed that most of the missions are just activities. I mean, I know most open-world games do that to a point, but this game doesn't even attempt to dress the non-story missions up at all.

I just had a heart attack when I heard the song from Rocky IV on the radio. Fucking awesome. Only played a couple hours but I already love it. Never played a Saints Row game before as I dismissed one as being a GTA clone and the second I didn't have the time but it is clear that this is more than that. This game brings me back to San Andreas and Vice City where it was fun to run around. I thought I was done with open world games like GTA but this is such a breath of fresh air. Kudos Volition and I hope this game brings success
so we can get Freespace 3

Play SR2 (on console), it is even better.

Finished the game last night, really enjoyed it. Beat it at around 16-17 hours, with 69% complete.

Woo!

Didn't get to play as much co-op as I wanted, but I did a couple missions with NIN90 and Teknoman here and there.

Decker uniform. Wish I could recolor it, I had what must have been a glitch where I was able to change the blue stripes on it though.

Edit: This game looks great, some day I will have a PC that can run this at 60 fps all the time. Though SR4 might be out.

Gentlemen of Steelport mod guys are working on the clip editor, also they put to do list that sound promising as fuck

NOTE: If nobody's name is attached to the mod then feel free to give it a try to make it work.

gibbed's Customize All Vehicles mod:
* Modding tires on the Woodpecker airplane crashes the game
* Attempting to customize helis bumps you back to the crib after it flashes a bunch of menus up

Jon's Spectre and VTOL speed mod:
* Only the Spectre is working at the moment and it's awesome. Jon is still trying to get the VTOL to work

Bmhur1 Hidden Cheat Enabler
* Currently reuses word unlocks for other cheats
* Are there npc morph cheats? They were listed in the IS files as "Be All You Can Be"

Snipe's Unlocked Temporary Weapons Permanently Mod
* Can we delay their sale until endgame? That would eliminate any mission issues in which temp weapons come into play.
* Does the game auto add them to your stash if you finish the mission with them? May have to edit the lua to remove that slot and double check weapon cache.

Optional non-flagging cheats

Additional Homies: Johnny Gat (Mission 1), Genki, Cyber Avatar, Tiger, Naked Oleg, Minigun Brute, Flamethrower Brute, Brutina
NOTE: The homie stuff is currently being worked on by Snipe and InnocentSam
* Text formatting issues
* Tiger is missing many anims
* So far we can only replace instead of add new

Extended character creation sliders

Allow weapon ring usage when walking and/or running

Player rollerblading teleporting (Decker Specialist anims for player.)

Remove the annoying popup hints!

Optional sticky/free camera that doesn't autocenter

Mission Replay
* This may be something better suited to Minimaul's save editor

Extra level weapon upgrades for things like the Taser

Reinstate facial expressions and walks if possible using assets/anims from SR2

Lower onscreen cruise control notification to bottom of the screen like GotR

Add all in-game music to the Mixtape list like mission music

Gibbed is working on enabling the GTAIV style clip editor that seems to be fully functional

* saved clips go in documents\my games\saints row the third\cinematic clips
* Exporting doesn't work

Adding clothing to the store so that it can be recolored. Snipe did this with the Decker reward jacket. There are likely others.
* Need to make sure this is something that can be delayed so it doesn't make the unlock itself useless.
* One of the rumored DLCs is a gang clothing pack that may make this all for naught.

Ability to toggle on/off weapon upgrades
* This may be something better suited to Minimaul's save editor

Remove Oleg homie's turning on you if you accidentally hit him

Fix zombie ped cheat (brains) so it works in coop instead of just single player *rumored

Hex edit vehicle cvtf files for enabling additional customization options like the gang decals which are currently not removable

Shorten/Disable homie phone cooldown

Wireframe outfit/morph

New tattoos
* Gibbed figured out how add new tattoos (not replace)

Remove the laser weapon overheating when you get the instant reload upgrades

Maxwell Adams FOV mod - Optional
* Will need to be thoroughly tested since it merely just increases all fov by 50%

Add additional gang customization vehicles the Saints can drive like the Spectre

Add additional clothing/paint colors and fix the lighting at IAD/mechanic so they look correct

Possibly rebalance shotguns and rifles since they seem very weak compared to the other weapon classes like pistols and smg

Add Spectre and other helicopter vehicle delivery

Fix taunts so they proc for the challenge correctly. i.e. they only work when you taunt a gang member and don't have notoriety

Fix the hitzone for nutshots since they are almost impossible to proc

Fix vehicle engine sounds so they don't sound like they infinite gears when they rev even at low speeds

Fix homies so they start spawning more as you take over territory. Currently it seems like you never see homies walking around.

True random gang member option. Right now, you can random for every category, but not a random from all categories; a real random option so that you can enjoy all the cool different ganger types unlocked during the course of the game.

Ability to start the wave survival missions from a menu instead of waiting for a timed random event


Add blur streaks to the lightcycle unlock similar to the Decker Specialist to make it more Tron-like

Cyrus as an unlockable outfit/morph

Additional gang types:
STAG
Cops/Motorcycle Cops


Optional mod to color already purchased clothing while in the wardrobe like GotR

Listen to radio or mixtape while on foot

If they deliver all that then Gentlemen of Steelport will be the shit.

I'm for all of those changes, especially the engine noise/infinite gears fix. That get's really annoying after awhile.

Wow, I think I played like 3 missions in my first 9 hours. I had way too much fun screwing around in co-op with a friend.

this is exactly the way I did it. Saints Row is meant to be played in coop and screwing with the coop partner with full damage friendly fire.
now it's time to try out the mask trick and do some cheats.

I just knew about the streaking mini game, so funny. just walk around the city naked and press the D-pad down button twice.

my complains on the game: no mission replay, I wanna get the achievement "complete Act 1 in other way" and I none of us feel like restarting with a new character.
second thing: there isn't an option to deselect a purchased upgrade, I want turn on/off no bullet damage and no explosives damage upgrades.

Ya I found it a bit dumb when i learned you could legitimately become invincible. This will probably make me skip out on the DLC missions.

I also don't see why they have difficulty settings when there are no rewards or achievements for playing on harder difficulties. Waste of time.

Because...people don't always need the achievement carrot to entice them to play the game on a harder difficulty? Jesus, you'd think we never had difficulty levels before the 360.

Well some of us do. Seems like pretty much a no-brainer for an achievement.

Either way, there's usually been some sort of reward or incentive for playing on harder difficulties, even before achievements. Not giving anything at all just makes the harder difficulty feel like you're wasting your time. At least that's the case for me and some others I know. Just wasted opportunity.

Yeah I feel ya, although tbh the last time I replayed a game on a harder difficulty for achievements was Hitman: Blood Money, and back then achievements were in such an early state that beating the game on Professional wouldn't give you the achievement for Expert, Normal, or Easy, you had to beat the game four times and get at least 5 silent assassin ratings in them to get all the achievements. I like Hitman. >_>

Edit: Oh, snap! I'm not a Junior anymore! If I knew all I had to say was how much I liked Hitman... :p

omg http://deckers.die so gooood

Also how are people blowing through this game? I've played 22 hours and I think i'm 63% done. Granted like 2 hours was me and n0b screwing around in insurance fraud trying to find the highest place to jump and ragdoll off. Love jumping like 100 ft in the air during those fraud missions, wish there was a way to go ragdoll out of it.

The meme reference was funny. The game was going downhill when
When you went into the tron style theme to try and stop the virus. It was killing the game, although it was fun to do it. Got repetitive and boring, most events were like this.
On Saint's Row 2, I explored more, the variety of shops were better, the town was better because
You couldn't really go anywhere after the STAG closed the streets and you got a Police bounty.

I really enjoyed this game though it was fun to play and was actually a GAME.
