Saints Row The Third

[Leftwich]

Is there a garage for the "penthouse" crib? If so, where?

It's on the bottom level. You can take the elevator.

BTW so happy mayhem missions are back. The tiger escort missions are fun as hell to.

So I take it SR3 >>>>>>>>> SR2/1?

Might pick this up at BB on Black Friday

Sony's giving away free digital copies of SR2 through PSN if you use the online code for SR3 on PS3.

Basically by registering to play co-op, you're getting 2 games out of it.

To answer your question, SR3 is the best of the 3 games.

[Leftwich]

It really is the best of the three. The streets aren't really alive like before but a nice touch i've noticed since cruising around is you'll see cops doing routine traffic stops and accident reports and stuff.

oh damn, only on PS3? Was gonna get it on 360..

Getting it regardless though.

I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get to play this yesterday. Instead I spent hours with Rylo dying over and over again on Bf3 co-op. Fuck that shit is hard!

[Twigg4075]

The caveat with doing the SaintsBook missions is that you have to keep tabs on them so you don't accidentally lock yourself out of one because of a story mission you completed or a territory you took over.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE TRYING TO 100% THE GAME.

I would like to 100% this game. So what do I need to avoid?

You only really need to play SR2 if you want to know how the Saints became who they are in SR3.

Taking over Stilwater, acquiring majority stake in Ultor, having Pierce and Shaundi become your Lieutenants...

If there is a plus, it's that you can never get enough Johnny Gat.

Penny Arcade Forum semi-explanation:

 

Do not do an activity in the open world before it is introduced in the actual story mission. If you do, it has the nasty side effect of skipping all the character dialogue and cutscene when doing the actual mission with it. For example, Pierce will have a mission for you to be on Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax. Once you complete that mission it is okay to do any of the open world instance of the Professor Genki activity.

In single player, you have the choice to replay the final mission one time only and see the alternate ending. If you have only beaten it once with one ending and then coop you will lose your one chance to replay it.

Some of the challenges like 25 Gang Taunts or kill X Gang Specialists are exponentially harder if you wipe out the gangs first, so you may want to attempt those before clearing out the gangs.

NOTE: You can still do assassination targets even if you wipe out all the gang control beforehand. The game is smart enough to repopulate the area if you select the target. There is no way to be locked out of doing them and not getting 100%.

Specifics:

-ALL the missions (including both endings)
-ALL the activities
-Kill ALL the Assassination Targets
-Have 100% City Control
-ALL the Collectibles (at Level 20, you can buy a Collectible Finder through your "Abilities" in the Upgrades; it costs $49,500)

[JayDizzle]

So for those who have played, what Upgrades do you like/use the most?

For me, it's gotta be the Tank Homie and Oleg.

Unless you are playing on Hardcore or didn't put in for Health Increases for your Homies, you're pretty much unstoppable when you combine the two.

I can only imagine what you could get away with if you were playing co-op with a biddy who used the same thing.

It is about time for me to get in on SR3 action. One of my employees is selling it to me for $30, so I can't really pass that up. What I've heard is that its probably the best setting and world, but that the main story is very short. Anyway, I'm sure it is going to be a blast and definitely worth the money and time.
