How do you activate the telephone missions about gangs attacking your headquarters and the gang waves?
Seems to activate when im near the headqueaters (mostily in the heliport or falling from it), but sometimes it doesnt work.

Some really awesome use of the music in game, I won't go into details. But some of the missions where a song plays in the background the whole time are brilliant.

Going to play tonight for the first time, direct co-op LAN play (god I it has good lan functions).
Really looking forward to it.

They just seem to come up randomly as long as you're not in a mission or activities. You can't force them unfortunately.
I don't think it matters where you are, because I've gotten ones that have required me to drive across town to get to.
Because Volition made it worse, AMD is pathetic? Seems unlogical.
well..because Volition said they were working with AMD on it.
so yeah AMD have a hand on that too.
Usually you have to be walking and not in a car. It's pretty random when you will get the call, never found anything that made it more likely to come about.
i wish you could customize the tank. it would be pink my my fully upgraded humvee.
it also sucks that you can't customize your walk/attacks/etc. why was that removed?
Would be nice.

Buy a rim jobs go in a car you can customize then select garage select your tank ect then press B when it tells you you cant customize it. Now you can customize it
.You are so lucky
but tbh I don't regret that I got it for full price, I've been waiting for a loooong time for SR3 to come out, and I now I played it and enjoyed it so much that I can't wait for more content to release.

I tried to customize the tank, but I couldn't. It doesn't allow you to change colors, but I didn't try that with the 8-bit tank
EDIT: Oops, I forgot to use the new multi-quote feature

I seriously need to know this. Volition, I know you guys are in this forum, please patch it so I can select survival mode. I need to do about 10 of them to complete SaintsBook and I have completed everything else already. So tedious waiting for shit which takes AGES to appear. I need to close this off before I'm getting my ass into Skyrim.
Funny thing is I'm playing LoZ:Skyward Sword while waiting for my Saints homies to call for a Survival mission, then pause playing Zelda when the ringtone goes off lol. It's also not helping that my real phone's ringtone is the same as the ingame one.....
What a life.. :-D
Indeed.
Also I really
felt that I'm a hero while playing the
the song worked very well with it

Some vehicles don't seem to work with this trick; others definitely do though.

Ouch..bad quality.. Ill keep green onions.
Podcasts are your open world achievement cleanup friend. For me, Crackdown, Assassin's Creed 2 and InFamous are firmly associated with One Life Left, Idle Thumbs and Retronauts respectively.

Wow, when spitting through the ripped audio files I found a .wav with all the sing-along voices (all 7 of them) merged into one audio file. Amazing :-D
Haha I already listened to 8-4 and W. Confirmed today while playing ;-). 40 hours of FFXII grinding were spend with Idle Thumbs. So relaxing lol
Yeah, but it's straight from the game. Won't get any better than that unless Volition makes something of their own.

I thought I'd get Saints Row 3 today from Steam, but it's not there! How odd! Anyone know why? Guess I'll get it from Amazon instead.

It's on autopilot alright, to the point where driving is zero challenge in SR3. Cars feel like they are on rails. And the tires don't even match the road (looks like their are gliding everything). This game has the worst driving I've played in any open world game. Driving a car in GTAIV feels like well driving a car. Cars have weight, don't automatically align with the road when you drift into turns, and each car has very different driving characteristics. It's fun because it is an actual challenge, like driving in any decent racing sim. Also, in regards to combat, GTAIV automatically wins for having something basic like being able to go into cover (and shoot from there). Combat in SR3 is fucking archaic.

Just finished this game. Holy shit. That is all.
Who the fuck cares about realistic driving? GTAIV is not a racing sim. SR3 is like a billion times more fun than GTA.
-BLITZ-
Member
Yes, this is one of those things I though SR3 will fix :-(
I still have problems with car theft list activities and if you noticed everytime you hit left or right, the cars goes like a 15 years old 2D driving game skipping some good part of the road.
More like old tank games, square by square.
Pimpbaa
Member
I care about having somewhat realistic driving. But when the driving is worse than a bad iOS racing game, then there is a problem. Driving in SR3 is janky and completely devoid of needing any sort of skill. Rather than being something fun to do when you are not doing missions, it becomes a lousy means of getting from point A to B. There are open world games better than GTAIV, but SR3 is not one of them.

Wow, as funny as it is conceptually

Wow reading over the quote makes me even more happy that it's not a sim driving system. Think about a more sim aiming system where you have to hold your breath, go prone, and check for wind and even more recoil when you shoot at stuff. The driving does it's purpose, it gets me from A to B, and everything in between in a speedy process. I use the cars in just about everything and it controls great.
Finally found Genki. I was just thinking about nice it would be to cross him and get the prize, then 10 minutes later, bam.

If I'm a badass motherfucker with a skin mode of gold and a voice made of zombie vocal-cords and dual-wielding armor-piercing chambered pistols I DON'T NEED TO TAKE COVER, because that's how I roll.
Also, if I have to take cover I just go behind something solid and hit the crouch button. Boom.

The day Saints Row games get a cover system is the day I stop buying them. What a horrid idea.
Ploid 3.0

I do the crouch thing too. Custom non stick cover. Sure it would be nice to have it to blind fire and be more like uncharted than it already is but it's not needed.
Came back here to post exactly this.
Just did them. I might be a little bit hyped up from playing this, but I think The Third outdoes GTA:SA/every GTA style game. It at least has some of the best individual missions in a sandbox game.

Is he hard to find?
I've only had the game about a week & can only play for about an hour a day and found & killed him twice. The first time after I killed him I thought I could have had him in my crew and totally fucked up.

Any tips for the Vehicle Theft? They're pretty damn annoying now that they give you instant notority once getting in them. The car just blows off half way to the destination.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Some of them require you to get a specific car, but others you can get the car out of your garage and then either take it to the chop shop right away or just drive to the area you're supposed to look for it and then it'll point you to the chop shop.

Yep, that's where the game kind of broke for me. But it's easy to push through.
Man, I hated the driving in GTA4 to the point where I finished the game using Taxis whenever possible.

Wait what the shit? GTA has better combat than this game? And you really mean it and it's not some really bad joke?

Buy the "every vehicle you drive has nitrous" upgrade, call homies so they can ride shotgun and shoot at pursuers.
