Is there no way to get the bridges down?

Unfortunetly not.
Those are necessary to do stunt jumps and you doing a certain amount of stunt jumps is a challenge in the Saint's Book. There aren't a whole lot of other ramps in the game without the bridges.

If you switch to advanced flight controls I think it's easier because you can use the bumpers (360 controller) to rotate. Other than that it's probably just a matter of getting used to it.

Question - does your gender/voice/appearance or changing your gender/voice/appearance during the game change the story or the story cutscenes in anyway?
I created a character to look like Hilary Clinton - thought it would be funny to see her blowing shit up. But then after an hour I realized I'd rather just have a reasonably sensible male character that should look like me. If I went to the plastic surgeon, it's no different than starting a new game and creating a character right?

It doesn't change anything. The only thing that comes close is the zombie voice due to you not being able to understand a thing that he says. Although, I heard there is some special benefit to using the zombie voice other than hilarity. I cannot confirm that though.

Actually some of the character lines change in cutscenes between male and female characters, but it's not a huge difference.

But the change in dialogue is from the perspective of the main character right? I noticed that other characters regard you as "the boss" naturally implying that it's gender ambivalent.
Anyway, if I changed my character (essentially in everything - gender, voice) at the plastic surgeon, would these changes still address themselves. Or is my character forever considered the same gender at the time of new game creation?
Yeah, found out what I was doing wrong. Thanks for looking though bud.

My understanding is you are always referred to as The Boss except in a few situations where people call you 'him' or some such regardless of which sex you actually are.
In the canon of Saints Row this is acceptable as the main character started off as a male in the first game anyway.
But anyway go ahead and switch sex at will, it won't affect anything.

Any tips on beating Insurance Fraud on hard? That's the only thing I need to do to get 100% in all territories but I just can't seem to beat this SOB! I actually ran into a glitch that gave me an infinite timer on one instance of Insurance Fraud, but I haven't been able to repeat it.
Head to a black spot area to fill up adrenaline and use it up getting to another area. Then do the same there and move on. I hope that makes sense.
Don't forget that simply falling onto a stopped car gets you a minimum of $1,000 so even if the traffic isn't moving you can still fill up your bar.

Just race through hitting all the tanks you can, you still gain net time if you hit a firewall. You can also use the hood takeover bonus to skip all the activities in one hood if you want.
Bought the PC version from THQ UK.
Volition, you have earned yourself a fan. The game had me at the part where your character sings along to Sublime's "What I Got" with Pierce on the way to a mission. So delightful. I love the outrageous missions, the weaponry, the shooting, the voice acting, the soundtrack, the driving, the everything. Over-the-topness aside (which I love, but can understand someone preferring realism), it outdoes GTA in every facet... and I quite like GTA, even the much-maligned fourth game! It also helps that SR3 looks very nice on max settings and runs pretty smoothly on my relatively dated graphics card (a GTX 460).
One question for those playing on PC: is there a way to run this in a borderless window? Google is failing me, and "-windowed -noborder" launch settings in STEAM don't appear to work. I have a dual monitor setup and like to multitask.

Any way to hide the HUD in the PC version other than entering video mode?

Insurance fraud was a pain in the butt until I realized I could jump before hitting the ragdoll button.
finished both endings a few days ago and went right back for more. took me about 25 hrs to finish the main story, while just screwing around buying stuff up and causing mayhem as i went along.
still having fun finishing up maxing out my character and cleaning up the different territories. a very enjoyable game.
everyone saying how sharp the writing is in this game, its all true. the writing was witty and clever, really well done. i laughed a lot and had a good time playing through the main story. i enjoyed both endings as well.
great game.
easily the worst mini game. ive only done one so far i think. havent gone back yet because i found it frustrating.
id like to beat everything too. hopefully i have the patience for the Tron bike sections.

I'm surprised people had trouble with the Tron activities; I consider myself a fairly average gamer in most respects and I only remember having to redo one just once or twice. Unfortunately it's been a month and a half since I did them so I have no real advice to give, but if I can do it I think anyone can if they put their minds to it.

When you beat the game you can stay in the world finishing things up.
No new game plus as far as I know. Have to do a new peep.

Unfortunately not. I was on the rip of the game music though, I guess it's done in-house by Volition.

Just done the Murderbowl mission, that has to go down as one of the best in the game purely for the

Got a few missions left and 10 of the challenges and then the assassin/car thefts side missions. I haven't even touched on whored mode yet. This game still has plenty of life left
music, chainsaw then that wrestling minigame

my only gripe is that you couldn't use wrestling moves against those grunts. was looking forward to that.

Finished it.
Great writing and the epic/crazy missions are really well done.
At the heart of the game it's still a b-tier open world title that has too many dull misisons which are only saved by the good dialogue. It's a good game, infinitely better than the first (never played 2), but I don't love it like some do.
I feel like I've had my fill just going through the main story. No desire to explore/go nuts etc.

Because admittedly, that mission is a pain. The first part at least.
You could always do saint's book stuff to grind respect for damage and weapon upgrades, which make it quite trivial if your level is high enough for max upgrades. It might take a while though, if you just want to beat the story.
Or you could try going in with a tank or VTOL or something, though I don't know how effective it would be.
Beat Three Way, man that was tough and annoying.
I chose to
. I'm curious about what the other ending is, but not so curious that I'll replay the final mission (at least right now).
I think this is the first game that has made me want to 100% everything in it. Here we go...

So like, Saints Row III is the greatest game ever.
The finale... my god. Whenever they used a song for a mission, it was perfect.
Few things though, the game is far more polished and wacky, but it was definitely way easier, smaller, and shorter than Saints Row II. More later, I'm tried.
Anyways, all activates and 3 of the 4 areas are completely conquered.

Hauled ass across the bridged, called in my fastest car. While "I need a Hero" played. Or when you get the Chainsaw in the wrestling match and "You're the best around" plays.
