A few of them require you to kill gang members before the target will spawn, so yes.
No, you can always select the next story mission on your phone and it gives you a waypoint. The sidestuff isn't mandatory this time. (although they make you do each type of side-mission once as part of the story.)
Everything is accessed from your phone.
God I love her voice in this game.

Started over as a female character and did an assassination and unlocked the Deckers outfit. Those mofos are hella stylish, look at this shit

Long shot, but any way of improving the draw distance on PS3 version?

I think it's the third or fourth one for Kinzie. She'll give you the outfit so you can kill someone near the power plant.
She's definitely my favourite character voice in this. The way the lines are delivered in such a casual way really works. Especially in the Sublime scene. Her performance was by far the most "real".
Ah okay, thanks. I wondered because I have done some for her already.
Saw Genki on the streets earlier blowing people up with an RPG. A cop tried to attack him so he kicked him in the nuts and blew him up. After a long fight, I killed him and got a nice $300K off of it...now I roll with an entire squad of mascots in memorial...and I spent all of the money maxing out guns to light people on fire.
In most games that might seem odd, but this was just another normal session.

I completed the game and 100% collectibles a few days ago but I left all the challenges alone.
Warning for you guys if you don't know already, you cannot do some of the challenges if you wiped out some gangs already
so if you want to do them in one game, aim to clear them out as much as possible.
I'm gonna start a new game with a guy this time to get that remaining trophy!

I don't know if this thread is fanboy freaky about GTA comparisons like those fuck awful GT/FZ threads, but having played this GTA style game with a strong female lead, it really makes me want to see a GTA with female lead. The fact I hadn't played a crime game as a woman was why I picked to be a woman this time, but I've found it really cool. Although there was one mission involving nudity I probably could have done without.

That mission is going to fucked up regardless of sex. I was pretty surprised when it happend.
I have a badass latino gangster girl turned super hero. I always change into my super suit at night then back into my normal clothes during the day.
The only other racing game with the feel of speed similar to this is the old school midnight clubs. Those were some of the best racing engines ever made.

I think GTA should have character creator too, I feel that's what sandbox games are about: You as a player making the fun, it should be up to the player to choose how the main character should look like. I think it suits the genre well.

I certainly don't agree with that. As much as I like SR3, I don't think it's approaching GTA4 quality. Having a specific character plays a large role in how you can present a story. I just meant I wish Rockstar would have a female lead, as in a fixed one. I was hoping they'd do it with the second GTA4 expansion actually, maybe with Elizabeta.
In what way? If you tone down the outfits, leave in the choice of gender and 3 voices for each, what can't you do that you can do with a fixed character?
Edit: Other than some types of character histories being a bit silly for a gender.
There are lots of things, some Armies don't, or at least didn't allow women at a certain time for example. If you wanted to tell a story about a woman who couldn't have children, it would be hugely different if it were a male. Men and woman are not the same, and if you want to produce something true to a character, something as fundamental as their gender needs to be set.
It works in SR3 because the Boss doesn't really have a character. It has an attitude, that's about it.
That is about what story you tell though, not how it is told.
And I want stories not restricted by having to work for both genders, or skeleton men.

Been playing this from GameFly ... I take it there is no way to access the Genki vehicles like the Manapult or weapon like the Squid Gun?
Is it available to purchase anywhere? Or is it only a pre-order bonus?

LOL, I already suggested getting rid of the whacky character outfits etc. I don't think video game story telling is in any way deep enough to be dramatically effected by being able to change you characters appearance in most games. There are already enough allowances that have tro be made for play style that any semblance of character driven narrative is relegated to a back seat in open world games.
It's only a pre-order bonus.

Anyone up for playing this co op with me? All my friends just aren't playing it right now? We can talk about it if you add me on Steam, ID is in profile.
I don't think Bioware's games from Baldur's Gate onwards would have had better stories if they had restricted character creation.
In most games, I'd agree, in GTA, I do not.
It's hard to say, because I don't think any of those have interesting lead characters. Well I say any, I haven't played much of DA2. But something like The Witcher 2, which is kind of similar, but massively better written does have a fixed lead.
EDIT: Although it'd be pretty interesting if they let you play Triss is TW3.

That sucks. Thanks for the info and saving me some time and money. I was almost going to get the 360 version as my "go to" sandbox game. Looks like JC2 will still hold that crown.
I always feel the BioWare stories are happening around the person, like it wouldn't matter who the main character is as they are a generic "hero" or something, like many sci-fi stories it's the world that intrigues. But with GTA games it's more focused on the personal story and the world almost seems secondary. Hard to explain ... sorry.
\/\/\/\/\/ Kind of what he said, character vs event.
I also think a character driven story, as opposed to an event driven story, isn't really all that effective when your character has so much freedom of action, like in Saints Row.
I haven't played GTA4, but I do know some complaints were the contrast between the character's story struggle and the sociopathic stuff you did on your spare time. I wouldn't want to feel ethically restricted in a videogame with ridiculous events just because of the main character's background.

That argument comes up a lot, and I think it's fair, if you wish to, you can break the fiction of GTA4 very easily. And you can do that with almost any game. You can run around the battlefield in MGS4, running up to guards, lying on the floor and rolling around. It is counter to the character shown in cutscenes, and you're able to do it. It really just depends how you wish to play a game. I personally didn't go around randomly killing people in GTA4, not that it would be really against Niko's character. The one person people refer to in GTA4 has meaning to Niko, unlike anyone else you kill really.
The Professor Genki stuff is cool but you shouldn't let the lack of it deter you from getting the game. There is still plenty of awesome stuff to see and do in the game, and if you like crazy weapons you can always buy the shark gun.
I actually gave my woman a breast reduction. She started out at 55 which looked quite normal for her figure when she was just in the bra when you choose, but she always looked way bigger when she was dressed.
wasn't bad at all. combine shotty with the sonic weapons and it's pretty easy.
it's faithful to the genre, haha

Awesome. So I guess that means the whole 40 weeks of DLC story that was floating around before release was bunk?
I thought SR2 was more balanced overall, had a better selection of main missions that weren't just activities, and much more content such as facial expressions, walk style, clothing options, fucking Freckle Bitch's, etc. SR3 is a more over-the-top game, but it feels like it's missing a lot of things that its predecessor made standard (no replaying missions? BOOOOOOO).

That was the only mission in the game that I disliked doing solo. I'm glad its in the game though.
I got them with my THQ order last week.
The car and the squid gun are fucking worthless, you're not missing anything.
I'd heard it was only for the first so many copies of the game with pre-order, I thought the Professor Genki events in the game were tied to the content but I was relieved when I saw otherwise.
