[ALL] Saints Row The Third

[Twigg4075]

I'm not watching that story trailer. Not that I think the story will be amazing but I just want to enjoy the game without knowing every damn detail about it.

Link: Gamescom: Five Insane Things You Can Do in Saints Row The Third

• Get an interracial sex change
  
  Saints Row: The Third lets you customize your character to your own specifically perverted liking. We started out playing as a white dude. Boring, right? So we stopped by the plastic surgeon and before we knew it we were a hot Asian girl. Next, we cranked up our sex appeal until our boobs would give us serious back problems. In order to get the full benefit of our assets, we made our character topless (although the boobs will appear highly pixilated while running around the game). We added a cheerleader miniskirt and, the piece de resistance, a giant wolf head mask.
  
  So our character was a hot Asian girl with huge boobs running around in just a short miniskirt and a wolf mask. Many boyhood fantasies were fulfilled.
  
  The character customization goes much deeper than this example. You can set an age, give yourself blemishes and scars, and even select a voice. Want to be a she-hulk or a 90-year old crack whore zombie? The only limit is your effed up imagination.

• Play in traffic.
  
  Saints Row: The Third has Insurance Fraud missions, which give you a limited amount of time to cause a certain amount of damage to your own body. We would find a busy intersection and just lay down in the middle, letting tons and tons of metal do their worst to our fleshy frame. Not only is it quite enjoyable to watch yourself be ground into the cement by a semi truck, but you also earn valuable respect points. Because you're obviously a psychopath, and no one wants to f^@$ with you.

I own the fist 2 SR but have never gotten far in either one...no surprise. I end up just going all over the city and get tired of the driving. Today I put in PS3's Saints Row 2 because I don't want to get 3 w/o finishing the storyline of 2. I played it for ~5hrs, just focusing on the Asian gang storyline. It was a good break from playing NCAA.

I liked GTA: SA but this one so far is a close 2nd. My favorite part has to be the odd jobs I've done, such as security to celebs, fight club, to driving the sewage truck. I end up doing the jobs till I get past the 5th level (except for security guard...I'm stuck on 3rd level). I finally put it down and got to ~14% done. I might try to play SR1 (X360) but I started with 2 because everyone seems to like it so much over the first. I already know the ending to 1, so that's not important to me.

I never played the 1st 2. I thought this was just a poorly done knock off of GTA. Maybe I should pick em up, no that Ill ever finish em. Maybe Ill wait till this comes out and get it.

if u can deal with dated games and graphics then sure...but if not, i wouldnt get them.

but both games were excellent. they took all the great aspects from several sandbox games and built it into their own game. Sure they are similar to GTA in so many ways. But cheap knock offs? no way dude.

SR2 was way better than GTA4. The controls, missions, difficulty and fun factor. The story in 1 was really good and had a great ending. SR2 was a continuation and was good although not a memorable story

these games are all about crime and killing innocent people. Stealing cars and getting chased by police...so story is secondary imo.

one thing i loved about SR2 was the ability to join a friends game with my character. similar to crackdown where u could jump in at any time and play there game with your friend

no doubt that SR3 will be excellent

Best way I can sum it up as that GTA takes itself too seriously while trying to garner as many awards as they can. Saints Row knows its not serious, and is extremely over the top to make as fun a game as possible.

agree....GTA4 got so much over hype it was disgusting. getting 10 scores and shit. a good game, but way to full of itself

I don't even think I finished a quarter of the game to be honest. It just moved so slowly and, unlike Saints Row where they are hilarious side missions/activities to get you back to the main story, the same activities for GTA are just as slow and boring as SR is exciting.

That is not to say I hate GTA, I just didn't like GTAIV. Vice City and San Andreas remain my favorite games and I still play them once in a while just to roam around.

Seems SR2 was more "GTA" than GTA IV. If I have time, I'll go back and play SR and try to get over that initial hump that I experience for any sandbox game.

It is definitely worth the time. I understand the hump as well, but the game gets going pretty quick. Although if stories are true, the new game is going to come right at you with a great first mission.

I never have that problem with sandbox or open world games. It's probably why they are my favorite genre and also why I have gotten into RPG's and dungeon crawlers as of late. The whole aspect of having so many open missions or "Tasks" to complete at any time and that 'Just one more mission" philosophy keeps me playing for hours on end.

If I finish the story in SR2, can I still go back and do everything else that needs to be done to get 100%?

edit: Any known glitches that may prevent you from getting something once the game is over?

The first one is only available on 360 FYI.

Sure you can. No known glitches that I can remember.

Not sure if I will actually get it accomplished but it seems doable. From reading msg boards 100% isn't really 100%....some things the game lets you do, such as Hostage Diversions isn't required. I'm on my 2nd Hitman list and had to use Youtube for 1 person on each list. There is one that says I need to have 5 stars to get some FBI agent Police Chief Troy wants killed....I can't get it above 4.

I remember finding some of the cars for the chop shop being a pain in the ass too. I think I gave up on those because I was driving around for hours and couldn't find them, even with a guide.

 

[ryne candy]

Just finished the hitman lists and looked online to see what needed to be done to get infinite ammo. I was able to do the ativities needed and have unlimited pistol, smg, rifle, and shotgun ammo. I read you need to do a DLC activity to get unlimited special weapons (rocket launcher), so I wont be getting those. Right now I think I'm 71% finished...in the middle of the Ultor storyline.

 

[Bear Pand]

Took me forever to realize the cars on the chop list show up on the map

 

[ryne candy]

Finished the storyline but I had to bump it down to Casual at the 2nd to last mission because it was kicking my ass (tried over 15 times straight). I actually beat it by luck...I killed the target before he was able to leave. Story ending was o.k....now I'm trying to get 100% on it, I'm at around 74% now.

edit: I did have to look online to find out where to find the 42nd mission.

 

[SHOGUN]

I loved the first Saints Row. The trailers for this one look great. Might have to pick this up.
