yes, they still spawn on the streets in small numbers. You can also just do side missions and kill a bunch to get specialists to show up.

I was initially planning on doing all the challenges and getting all the achievements for this game. Then I saw some of the achievements were for doing every mission and every activity in co-op.
That's not going to happen for me. So now I'm not doing any extra challenges or achievements. This always happens, whenever I like the idea of getting every achievement for a game If ind one or two that I know I'll never do, and then I lose any incentive to get any achievements.

I just finished all the activities today for the last achievement. Got my full S-Rank.
Feeling pretty good about that!

What system? There are no co op achievements on the 360.
Just finished Saints 1 and got the 'true' ending(well the epilogue one that leads into SR2). Speaking of achievements, SR1 has an awful, awful list. Not even one for getting the true ending??
Gonna start up Saints 2 now. So many people seem to think it is a bit superior, so I'll be interested to see how it goes. Certainly I expect a HUGE upgrade from 1(which wasn't awful, but dated). Will be interesting to compare when I get to SR3.

Is that ever going to be sold as dlc? Sucks to get fucked on content because I didn't preorder.
The PC version has some extra co-op achievements.
Aaaahhhhhh! *Shakes fist*
I bought this game day one but switched to the PS3 because of supposed better performance. Turns out when you do that it nullifies your preorder code.

I just got the mayham trophy and absolutky love that the developers acknowledged how valuable fences are to that mode. So cool.

When I killed him, he didn't drop anything for me. Others have said he drops quite a bit of cash but I didn't get that or anything else.

Got my Saints Row shirts from StylinOnline today, they look great and fit well. Thanks to OneLetter for finding that link.
The lack of customization in this game is depressing. Saint's Row 2 had so much more, I don't know why they didn't just take all those assets from there and move them to this game.
No crew cut? No bandolier? Come on now, how the hell can I be expected to make a decent Duke without that stuff.
If only Volition could get John St John to do a protagonist voice role, that would be so fantastic!

Tee on the left is incomplete without the Penetrator.
If you kill him with melee, sometimes you won't even notice the cash he drops since it'll be added to your bank, and people sometimes miss the fact that they just earned a bit more money.
Base Genki kills will earn you $100,000. If you have the "All Pedestrians drop 2x cash", then you can up to it $200,000, and by combining all the other upgrades, you can get it as high as $300,000 for killing him. During my most recent playthrough, I only saw him once.
Also, sometimes he'll spawn with a rocket launcher, which will be dropped if you kill him. This is especially awesome early game if you haven't unlocked it yet.

Can you guys PLEASE bring back the conservative talk-show hosts from Saints Row 1?
Was just about to post this. Having just finished SR1, I was really shocked and surprised that no talk radio was included in SR2! Easily the station I listened to most in SR1 this past week and am surprised there is no equivalent in the sequel.
Does SR3 even have a talk radio show of any kind either?

Really? Is he suppose to be that rare? I saw him 4 times when I was running around. He's annoying when he shown up at wrong time.

I've seen him twice, about a day apart. Of course that was after I'd beaten the game and was already a millionaire so the money didn't really help.

If you're not listening to "Jon" from Delocated 24/7 in this game on the [adult swim] station, you don't deserve to own it.
Not only is Delocated the best show ever, "Jon" is doing some of his funniest work ever in this game, covering all his greatest hits (breeves, the hoagie) and branching off into new areas of greatness (the ticket giveaway).
Easily the best radio host in video game history. No one comes close.

Haven't booted up SR3 yet, just finished SR1 and am starting SR2. Glad to hear SR3 has a hilarious talk station though, SR2 is sorely missing it.

To be fair, he's a regular host, not talk radio. But he has amazing extended riffs throughout.

Nah, you'll get it eventually along the main storyline if you choose.
Speaking of the radio I wish I could have it play outside of driving. Maybe some earplugs accessory that allows you to control the radio at all times. That or just put it in the phone.
For some reason this game doesn't seem to play nice on PC when I have another music player running in the background. That and it kindof freaks out when I alt-tab.

It will become obvious I'm pretty sure. You'll have a choice of 2 out of 3 things; the bike is one of the three to choose from.

I hope the "General sound optimizations" includes reworking the balance. My cinematics are 50 times louder than the ambient world noises. So I either have decent cinematics and an ultra quiet city, or a more alive city with ear shattering cinematics.

Thanks for the reply OneLetter. When I think back to it, when I was fighting Genki, I had 3 homies with me. It is possible that they got the killing blow and maybe that is why he didn't drop the money? I don't need it much anyways as I am the king of SteelPort and raking in the dough through my properties. Was fun to fight him, he certainly took a lot more punishment than I expected. Nothing that a level 50 Boss Saint can't handle though!If you kill him with melee, sometimes you won't even notice the cash he drops since it'll be added to your bank, and people sometimes miss the fact that they just earned a bit more money.

How about some PS3 patch, guys?
That was my favorite line when I had to write the patch notes.
With regard to talk radio, it's been discussed a lot internally over whether it should officially come back or not. What it really comes down to, and this goes for all music on our radio, is the bang for the buck. Is the cost and time for doing that specifically, or choosing a specific HUGE song, worth the investment?
While I personally thought WMD-Kaboom was fantastic back in SR1, players had to pretty much stop playing the game to listen to the whole skit if you wanted to catch all of it. While that's great for people who are just free-roaming and messing around in the city, a lot of the jokes can easily be missed, and the punchlines can fall flat if caught in the middle of a specific joke or session. Nothing is more horrible than when a joke is spoiled because you switched to that station at the wrong point. Also, hearing the same talk-radio joke twice compared to the same song twice is a MUCH different experience.
Second-play songs are generally accepted, especially if it's an enjoyable song, but the same talk radio skit over and over can be droning. There's also a lot more work cross-discipline that goes into talk radio compared to just a DJ with songs, such as all the additional writing, all the little stingers and extra sound effects (boing!, splort!, etc.), and of course finding the right duo/trio that we can bring in to record.
The audio team (and others at Volition) fully understands that there is a fanbase out there that really enjoys talk radio and tried to incorporate some of that with the Adult Swim station in SR:TT. In the end though, it's always been on the drawing table, for both SR2 and SR:TT, it just didn't make the final cut.
TL;DR - Don't be lazy, it's only a few paragraphs.

Plus one on that. Really think the music sucked this time for that station.

I have to be honest, I barely remember the talk station from SR1. I don't think I listened to it much. As long as my precious K12 is in the next game I'll be happy.
