Are you guys trying to share cross platform? Can't do it, sadly. Although you'd think you'd be able to at least look at it.
WHAT?! Fucking fail. They should at least put what platform uploads are if that is the case.
Haha this is the same character I'm rocking.

No I don't believe so, at least I haven't heard of anyone doing it.
Yeah it's really too bad it couldn't all be universal.

So does buying the city takeover bonus disable getting some trophies?

I believe it does not, since it's not a cheat. You could save and then try it to be sure.

Awesome, Volition should do this too so us console peasants have it.

Thanks. I'm not sure I'll buy it though. Takes the fun out of the game.

Yeah I did all the activities and everything, some are tricky but they're not impossible.

I realize he still has a few issues to work out with this, but man, this is why I love PC gaming. Adding back features that devs couldn't be bothered with. Although, who knows, maybe Volition will patch this in officially one of these days, but just awesome to see the modding community already working on this.

This is my first post in this fine thread, but just wanted to say I'm utterly in love with Saints Row The Third after having no exposure to the series prior. It just hits the pants-on-head silly spot with deftness and I really didn't think I'd be enjoying a sandbox game this much - at least, one that's not of the Eastern European slant - I'm usually a grim-faced STALKER fan when it comes to sandbox gaming.
However, played my first co-op session last night on PC and had an utterly blast just fucking around and doing crazy activities...lots of tank rampages, gang shoot-outs, the works. And, though I never really indulge in this kind of scribble - sequential art never really was my thing - I had to commemorate the event in some sort of crappy, rushed comic.
Sums up my unadulterated joy of Saints Row's pitch-perfect meshing of farce, fun and chaos. Volition have really done well here.

Nothing more than a quick scribble; overcome by the hilarity of Saints Row, something needed to be put to paper. And I haven't drawn big, vein-ridden penises since highschool maths class...
2011's sleeper hit if there ever was one.

Radio in Tanks mod released
on other news, smh+lol @ AJ review, dude just didn't get the point of Saints Row at all.
First they need to patch the shitty 360 version.
but I agree, they need to patch mission replay in the game for consoles people.
Going by the mod request thread they pull that in less than 4 hours ( seriously..you hear that Volition? ) and they solved the minor problem.
and yeah modding is always one of the best things about PC gaming.
Tara Platt was very good in the funny moments but not so much on other, the same thing is with Laura Bailey who failed in many cut scenes because she put too much emotions sometimes.
Both really were not in bar with Katie Semine's magnificent performance in SR2.
but speaking of voice acting, Sasha Grey was actually very good, it's so weird but she was good maybe even the best "celebrity" performance in the game.

Some of the greatest co-op adventures of all time! Just been having a blast, replaying with a homie causing all types of destruction! Still having a ton of trouble trying to get that "Taunt Gang Members" Challenge (still 18/50?!)- 100% areas early on makes this troublesome...
But I've decided we needed a photo-op chronicling adventures in Steelport!
"Breaking it Down by Skyline!"
"Love Rocket Nights"
"Protect Her Motherfucker!"
"Zimos House Calls"
"Let Friend Run you over with Genki's Manapult. Then hit the right trigger, and shoot yourself across the MAP!"

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
I think it only counts non-combat gang taunts. So even though you get the respect meter to show up for taunting a gang member after killing them, they don't count for the challenge. So you basically need 0 gang stars, see a couple gang members walking around, go up to them and taunt, then run away and wait for the stars to go away and do it again. And taunting the same gang members you already taunted won't count either. It's pretty much the same deal as SR2.

What's shitty about the 360 version? I have it, no complaints here.

I heard it had 50% screen tearing, which is ridiculous if true.
I have an unopened copy of the Xbox version with a Prof Genki code, I'm thinking of selling it and buying it on the PC or PS3 instead.

Haha what?
Yeah there's screen-tearing, but certainly not 50%.

There is some screen tearing but it's barely noticeable. Digital Foundry did say the PS3 version performed better though.
If you have a good PC then theres no reason not to get the PC version.

One of my best friends, whos been a GTA fanboy and literally laughed at my suggestion of SR2 a while back, finally decided to get SR3 last week. I co-op'd the first few missions with him @ lvl50, then...I got to co-op with him for the second time last night and he is practically twice as far in than game than me (In terms of activities/sidestuff finished).
Hope its not too late, but I remember some people saying once you takeover an area it interferes with the Assassination missions, which affects getting that trophy/achievement...Might want to do those first?

Well the reason was for the online community. I had two specific buddies in mind to play SR3 on Xbox with, but none have bought it so far.
Anyway, if someone wants my sealed 360 copy + code for 50$ shipping included, let me know. As long as you don't live in Antarctica or something.

It's a Steamworks game so Amazon Digital probably gives you a key like Green Man Gaming.

Yeah it's the steam version. You get a code to download it from steam.
As a followup to this, looks like Volition won't be patching in mission replay ever:

Hopefully modders will get this working soon, but sucks for those on consoles who wanted this as well.

Anyway know how you can view your screenshots full-size from the "My Steelport" tab on the website? It's just showing me thumbnails, even after naming them and making them public. Maybe I'm just really slow.
Fuck that. I'm guessing/hoping that it's similar to the case of the "no restart" option that was omitted, then later included, in Burnout Paradise. That's a bit shit if you have to replay a whole story mode just to get to a certain mission, especially if you don't remember what decision you made prior to that fork later on. You'd have to write down every decision you made.
Very, very shit decision.

You're not slow at all. It's just super confusing.
1. Under my uploads, screenshots, you have to name the image you want, click the checkbox to make it public, and save it.
2. Click on your user name at the top right of the screen with the little arrow pointing down next to it.
3. Click on the link that says Public Profile. Should look something like this: http://saintsrow.com/profile/hdcase
4. Scroll down to the map, then for best results click button on bottom right that says Go to Full Map.
5. Click My Map on the left side, you will now see a camera icon on the map everywhere you took a photo (and named it and made it public in step 1.)
6. Click the camera icons to blow them up, however you can't save them using the site, so you have to do a screen capture and crop down.
Yeah it's a real pain in the ass, hopefully THQ/Volition makes it easier to do in the future.
going to Idolninja and Corrodias( the other modder) posts in the forum it's working but they testing it to see if there is any issue with some missions, so my guess is they will release it within the next week.
Sorry Vol but this is really bad "reason" to cut it completely.
if there is ""exploits"" then fix it before releasing the game, tons of games have exploits and no one care.
No, sorry again Volition love the game but this is not an WRPG, just few mission that have choices I will not play the entire game again just to give Josh to the other person this time or pick the money instead of respect..so yeah just lame.
All the more reason to love the PC version, can't wait for the modders to give us what Volition can't/won't.
And exploits would do nothing but enhance it in a game like Saint's Row where it's built on crazy, insane and nonsensical. I kinda wish it had some RDR bugs like different models switched out for others. What I would do to be able to ride around town on a Ho...

I just saw 5 professor Genkis all on the same street in a mission. It was an in rails mission so there was nothing I could do.
They're always there. The
RC Gun
Well that's disappointing. I hate when they trot out lines about exploits, who gives a shit in SP content if people exploit?
God this game is great, didn't go into it expecting much but really enjoying it.
I think my appreciation of the game might have been soured slightly by the fact that I randomly bumped into a Genki mascot and gave him a beat down and got $100,000 for doing so, so i've been going round buying all the properties in the deckers area and got a steady stream of about $7k an hour, so I don't know if the fact i'm financially sound so early in the game may affect anything.
Only done a few missions, but the third or so one where you jump out of the helicopter into the party to the sound of "power" by Kanye was just immense.
