Saints Row IV

[JayDizzle]

Inauguration Station's out for PS3 tonight and the damn thing's bugged.

Sound drops in and out for when you fiddle with which voice you want your Boss to have.

Also the lighting on the character is too bright and makes them look like they're covered in a film grain filter.

I did figure out that if you have an account on the Saints Row website, you can upload the characters you put on there to the Inauguration Station and update them there.

From that, you can send them back for when SR4 drops.

Pretty neat.

Addendum: While there are some faults, it is neat to see some of the updates in wardrobe, etc.

Looks like the DLC costumes from SR3 are free to use in SR4...

 

And there's a LOT of references to Star Wars, The Karate Kid and Minecraft?!

Awesome.

Also, the Specialist costumes from SR3 are available as well.

Now you can play as everyone's favorite skating emo with an megaton electric hammer if you so choose.

Welp.

Giant Bomb said the Xbox version was bad with shitty framerates...I am going to wait for a steam sale.

[JayDizzle]

Basically, the best version is on PC at the moment as far as framerate and graphics are concerned (no shit)...

I AM worried about that 17 hour game time Gerstman put in with all of the story and most of the side-stuff finished.

Co-op or not, that slides in around how long it took me to beat RE6 and Dead Space 3 with Twigg.

Also, you can reach LvL 50 without collecting all the glowing nodes around the city as well.

I'll still buy it so I can "complete" my Boss' story but there's going to be a need to patch some of these bugs (I blame Deep Silver for rushing this out before GTAV hits, regardless of sales or not) and DLC is a MUST if you want more play time in Virtual Steelport.

I had really talked myself into it being a true 4 and not a gussied up expansion, but a lot of what I am reading says that that isn't the case. I'm sure I'll still enjoy it, but I'll definitely be waiting for a price drop. Besides, who needs SR 3.5 when you just dove back into SR 3 on PC?

Yeah it's definitely making me feel a little better about deciding to go with Splinter Cell next week over this. Was having a couple second thoughts, but now I'm feeling pretty good about the decision. Will be a perfect early October pickup after I finish GTA 5 and before the storm of games comes out late October and November.

After downsizing my collection (much tears were shed that day), I'm focusing more on digital and RPG stuff like Mass Effect and maybe Fallout...

However, I HAVE to have a dumb fun game like SR3 (and SR4 come Tuesday) to fill in those times when I just want to goof off and do nothing for a few hours.

What I wish Volition would do is put out a level editor (and not just the code like PC editors have) like inFamous 2 so I can make more Tank Mayhem missions.

Shit, just give me the entire City of Steelport but with zombies and a tank and I have an afternoon right there to have fun.

I have not looked, but it would be freaking sweet if it were a Steamworks game (for me at least, you still need a computer that won't burst into flames at the mere mention of playing a modern game on it).

After just DLing my "free" copy of SR3 from PS+ onto my system for shits and giggles... I can see why PC nuts prefer digital.

Game's running so much smoother than it did for my disc copy.

Now if I had the means to get SR4 for PC, I would get some of these good graphics.

About to play this. So excited.

My copy is at Best Buy waiting for me to come rescue it!

Rescue it my son. Rescue it.

Playing this gem of a game currently.

The intro mission is exactly the type of gritty shooter you'd find in other games these days...

 

And then the Aerosmith plays.
