Saints Row 2 360/PS3

[Brats]

It's well worth buying some bling as soon as you can to increase your style and your respect multiplier. Unlike the first game, style increases with everything you buy, not just what you wear, even cars and bikes. So you could buy a number of high performance cars and your multiplier will go through the roof, even if you trash the cars without putting them in the garage first.

There's loads to like about this game, even little things like if one person collects a CD in co-op, the other person gets it too.

I agree with the feelings towards GTA4, although I do think there was stuff to do, it's just that it was boring. I loved GTA4 during the story, but once that finished, only the hitman missions provided any fun. Shooting the pidgeons was a hideous grind, taking your friends out to the same place again and again was super dull and even the jumps didn't have the same pizazz as before. I traded it in, hoping that the DLC would bring more story or more wacky stuff to the mix.

I can see myself enjoying SR2 for longer, especially in co-op.

What version you got Dazzy?, been playing the PS3 one for about 18hrs now and not had one lockup, had a few glitches though, pedestrian getting stuck in a car and and one mission where someone was invincible no matter how many bullets I put in them.


I'd agree with that at the moment, the missions are definately a lot more action packed, the aiming system in this just like the first game is excellent as well, Rockstar really need to copy this as although GTA4 was an improvement it was still pretty poor in this department.

I like the Cruise control feature they've added as well, makes it alot easier to drive and shoot.

It might be down to the player creation on the music as mine likes Final Countdown and sings along to it everytime its on. I went to the music store and bought all the 80s stuff and ended up playing my AHA albums off HDD anyway lol

The resept thing is easy just get enough dosh go to the jewlwery store and buy everything you can in gold and you get +50. I bought every type of glasses and rings. Dont forget everytime you buy something it doesnt need to be worn it just adds it to the score no matter what you have. Mine got up to respect 6 very quickly. Missions its easy to get enough to do them. Go to one district and do a load od septic tanks then when it gets too hard for you go to another area and do the same one till you nail it. Id got 9 ahead very quickly.

Ta for info regarding SR1. I never got into it. Bought it buy my 3LCD telly broke and had got double vision at same time so it was a mess and by time got my Sony X months had passed so flogged it to get something else after 10mins but I wasnt a massive GTA style fan back then GTAIV changed all that.

I love this game the more I play it, found a fancy dress shop, bought a stun gun, hit somebody with it and watched them spasm on the ground, it's pretty sick but I laughed. Also unlocked the ability for my crew to dress as

Ninjas

.

I'll have to do the tips you guys suggested for buying more items to increase my respect multiplier as I don't think I've bought that much yet, just one set of clothes and a few businesses at the minute.

*EDIT* just been in a secret area inside the

cemetery, it's some kind of underground sex dungeon complete with inflatable dolls

I shot a female cop in the head earlier in her drivers seat. Stole her car and her body was still in there. It was flapping about all over the place inside while i was driving. Hillarious!

Only played three hours of this tonight but it's so daft that it's utterly brilliant.

The minute the

burst into the court room with a shotgun as I tried to make my way out, I was totally sold.

Volition clearly saw a hole in the market now GTA's gone all serious and they certainly went for it.

Hehe yea I love that stuff on this. If anyone wants a co-op game anytime just add us (Dazzyman as usual) on 360 as its what Im playing at moment all time and I leave the friend open for people to join.

Im currently running around with dragon tattoos everywhere and a roman helmet on slaughtering while my crew is dressed as Ninjas heh

Touch&#233; - Rockstar stripped most of the fun out of GTA, most of the customisation, and generally got all preachy (although to be fair, they do get shot down by the media for anything they do...)

As pioneers of this genre, you would have thought they could come up with something better than shooting 200 odd pigeons for "fun" though; maybe they were just having a laugh to see who would actually do it...

I for one am now looking forward to SR3 more than GTA5 (although SA still ranks as the best game in history)

Possibly one of the funniest things i have had happen to me, i was driving around at some speed, waslt looking ahead and smashed into another car, did the usual of flying through the window, but also went through the car aheads front and back windows and ended up the other side. the peoples car who i had just destroyed started screaming and drove off!! there are some crazy things that just happen when walking around.

It's things like this that make me love the physics in this game.

Decided to do the streaking mini game last night, I don't think some people appreciated it though because as I looked round had about 6 people in pursuit, some trying to pelt me with boxes

[powkisser]

last night i pleasured a hoe, it was great..

[AaronBekir]

how do you do the streaking, mugging, and exposing yourself minigames? are they icons on the map?

EDIT, sorry all the minigames, as i know there are others!

[Phar]

Muggings, I think is just the one where you aim the gun at someone in the street, after a while they give you some cash. You can rob stores in a similar way, point the gun at them and march them to the safe in the back room.

For streaking go to your wardrobe, then choose outfits which I think is the last option and choose to remove all your clothes then when outside press down twice on the d-pad, I think you can still wear hats, might try it with just a traffic cone on my head

[Riskbreaker]

Too play the exposing mini-game you need to buy a certain coat

Had a similar thing happen to me last night, was blitzing round in a convertable and hit a pedestrian who subsequently landed prone in the back seat and stayed there as I went on my rampage.

If you clear all 10 lvls you gain something wicked.

Today I came across two Goths chanting under a tree. I decided to tazer one into a twitching lump and then chase the other down, grabbing hold of her before launching her into a river.

In fact I developed a real love of throwing people about - it all started this morning. I was playing the Snatch missions, rolled up to a "ho" and honked the horn for her to get in. Cue a very angry pimp shooting up my ride.

Since no one disrespects a brothers ride, I put peddle to the metal and sandwiched him between the bumper of the car and a low wall. Sadly he was a bit more resilient that I expect and got back up. So I got out, grabbed hold of him and then threw him over said wall. The site of his pimp hat and long coated ass flying over it was completed by a comedy splash as he landed in the river on the other side.



And on a non-throwing related note, barrelling across a petrol station forecourt in my car, aiming straight for an invading Lieutenant, the front end connected just right to send him flying straight backward through the plate glass window of the shop and causing his "homies" to scatter. Awesome
