This is how Saints Row 3 should have gone down.
>The Saints find out that Dex is in Steelport
>They track him to a nightclub. The Boss storms the place buns blazing with Johnny, Pierce and Shaundi
>They corner Dex, but Loren shows up with Kiki and Viola and reveals that the club is owned by the Morningstar, putting the Saints on the Syndicate's shitlist
>Dex escapes as the Saints fight the Morningstar, Johnny is "killed" offscreen (actually just injured and taken captive for information on the Saints)
>Dex is in the wind, the Saints are forced to fight the Syndicate
>As in the actual game STAG is formed and deployed to Steelport
>Dex leverages his knowledge of the Saints to get hired as a consultant for STAG. Throughout the story he gradually manipulates his way up to running the whole thing, gaining power while the Syndicate keeps the Saints busy
>During the Morningstar missions the Boss finds out that Johnny is alive and goes to rescue him, but STAG raids the place at the same time and gets to him first
>Once the Morningstar, Deckers and Luchadores are all destroyed, Dex uses STAG to attack the Saints full-force
>Final mission is an assault on STAG HQ, final boss is Dex piloting an experimental STAG mech
>>344946815
>Has Dex as main antagonist.
>Pits Saints against the Syndicate in a believable way.
>Johnny's "death is explained later on and NOT ONE GAME AND SOME DLC LATER.
I likes it OP.

saints row thread?
Saints row thread
im playing SR1 right now and the final copperton truckyard hijacking side mission is a fucking pain in the ass.
im trying to max out the respect metre right away, so i've only control the row and nothing else.
i've tried chasing the cunt with a voxel, but i get blown up
i've tried full on T-bone-ing him when he comes in to view with a semi, but the rollerz gun me down quickly.
also, chinatown hitman is a pain in the ass.
>>344946815
>johnny getting injured/kidnapped again.
i dig it
>dex as the main antagonist
i double dig it
what's the best order to kill the gangs in SR1 and 2?
>>344946815
I like it but you're beating a dead horse, OP.
Thanks for the fanfic
are these saints row threads going to be a daily thing now?
Why is SR2 soperfect
>>344951020
because it had some impressive attention to detail, layered clothing, fun soundtrack, great story arcs,dead aisha, and it picks up where SR1 leaves off.
>>344946815
>>During the Morningstar missions the Boss finds out that Johnny is alive and goes to rescue him, but STAG raids the place at the same time and gets to him first
>>Once the Morningstar, Deckers and Luchadores are all destroyed, Dex uses STAG to attack the Saints full-force
>>Final mission is an assault on STAG HQ, final boss is Dex piloting an experimental STAG mech
I'd say make the end choice something between going after Dex or saving Johnny, since that would've been a much more difficult choice for most players than "Go after some guy you've known for a third of the story, or save the girls"
>>344946815
Okay, but the boss already killed Dex in saints row 2
>>344952129
no he didnt
that was Julius
Dex got away at the end of the corporate warfare DLC
>>344951986
>choice between saving Johnny or killing Dex
shit, that would actually make me consider letting the big baddie go free.i let Shaundi, Viola and Burt Reynolds die every time
Been playing Gat Out of Hell(its free for PS+ users this month). Trying to 100% it and already at 90% completion. Getting those clusters are a pain.
>>344952961
is it worth playing through at all?
>>344953091
Yes. Not the best SR but still pretty decent. Main story is very short so you might want to do all the side stuff first.
>>344952386
Yeah, they could even spin it into SR4 by saying Dex is going to the president to get the national army's assistance, framing johnny for setting off a bomb that blows up half of steelport, so if you go after Johnny you have kenzie help you disarm the bomb & save johnny, where afterwords you vow to follow Dex to DC, or go kill dex and the bomb turns half the city into rubble.
Which coincidentally would make the map more varied and interesting, one problem I felt was a huge downside from SR2 to SR3.
>>344953328
does the lack of radio detract?
>>344952386
They needed a hero and you let them down.
>>344953091
its a fun co-op game
>>344953526
Not really no, but you do hear classic tunes as you are going through the city.
>>344953549
the Daedelus was more interesting to see than Red Facti-, i mean, gangsters in space
alsoShaundi was already dead to me the moment the game started
>>344946815
>he plays SR for the story
>>344953891
>he doesntrip
>>344950469
Dialog in the VK route indicates that the Carnales are still alive at that point. In the Rollerz route Donnie gets the Saints name wrong, which doesn't make sense if they own half the city. So Rollerz, VK, Carnales for 1.
>>344950469
Sr1.
Yellow, blue, red.
SR2.
Red green yellow.
>>344946815
At this point I'm so fucking over Saint's Rows awful plot that I hope they make the "remake Earth and retcon the entire series" ending canon.
Start over. Maybe with an actual main character this time, not just a mute protagonist they gradually regret over the games.
>>344954312
>>344954095
Yeah, I meant blue yellow red fhair r sr1.
Story wise those make the most sense.
>>344953526
just play Kanye West's "Power" on loop and pretend you are playing Saints Row 3
>>344954505
Plus it makes sense in terms of power. The Carnales were in Stilwater first, then the VKs formed to fight them, the Rollerz got a foothold in the fighting. So the Carnales are the tough, old money gang, VKs are new money, and Rollerz are upstarts.
>>344946815
>This is how Saints Row 3 should have gone down.
Don't kill off a villain you hyped up so much in the first fucking hour and replace him with a shitty luchadore. That's it.
>>344953526
It's no longer silent, you get tunes just walking around.
A good decision desu fampai, that "completely silent when not driving" shit was old back in fucking GTA: Vice City.
>>344953872
Yeah it was pretty interesting.
>>344954569
Saints row used it, and Forza or someone used that song too.
There was no sense of progression. I just had everything instantly in sr3 and that really turned me off.
>>344954458
>Maybe with an actual main character this time, not just a mute protagonist
Fuck. That. The Boss being able to be customable too look like anything its an amazing addition, hardly any game allows the customization like SR did.
Also, what the fuck you mean by mute? You got about 7 choice of voices, motherfucker.
>>344954738
I really? I found going around, buying up the city in SR3 to get fucking everything to be the most fun part of the game.
I just wish that no reload/infinite ammo weren't options and that you could carry healing items into battle, SR2 style.
It let them throw so much more shit at you, fucking healing regen.
>>344951409
I did like that SR2 was where the first one left off.
>SR1
>Main character(you do create at the start) fights some Saints menbers, Julius steps in and respects the MC and makes him join the gang
>At the end, Julius and Dex betrays the MC and blows up the boat he was on
>SR2
>5 years later
>MC wakes up in a hospital in the prison and escapes
>Gets the Saints formed again
>Like the first, the MC takes over all rival gangs
>ULTOR(ULTOR was also in the Red Faction series as well) shows up
>MC kills Vogel, and Julius, while Dex gets away
Then things got weird.
>SR3
>Saints gets popular and they have a massive marketing with merchandise and such
>Johnny dies in the beginning(never explains how he came back in IV)
>Saints end up in Steelport
>2 endings where one was they were shooting a film while the other they defeat STAG
>SRIV
>MC is now the President of the US
>Aliens capture them(WTF)
>Have to escape a simulation
>Earth blows up
>The Saints stops the aliens
>2 endings where one was the story was actually narrated by a person while the other where the Saints continues to take over planets
>Get Out of Hell
>Johnny has to save the MC
>Helps Vogel
>Defeats Satan and saves the MC
>One of the endings he gets God to recreate Earth(game has 5 endings and this ending is the official one since it leads up to the upcoming Agents of Mayhem game)
Storywise I dunno what the hell happened with the story since 3?
>>344954761
Did you not play SR1? The Boss only speaks four times in the entire game.
>>344954863
Have you heard the theory that 2 onwards is a coma dream, and the reason for the mounting weirdness is that the Boss is getting closer to dying and his mental state is decaying?
>>344954889
Did you only play SR1? All the other games he had a more expanded dialog with all the voices.
>>344950054
>chinatown hitman is a pain in the ass.
The Hitman missions aren't that bad, there's only like 4 or 5 targets you can't reliably get to spawn.
>>344954761
>"That they gradually regret over the games".
And the lead character being customization doesn't mean you can't have a set character. I'm talking personality, history, name, goals, not looks.
>>344954863
They actually did explain it. Zinyak captured Gat and made him relive Aishas death.
>>344954761
The first game your character has 4 lines.
Hope you don't mind hepatitis
I got run over by a fucking truck
Quit lying bitch, those were last season
Can we hurry this the fuck up, I want to go to freckle bitches.
Funny, but is pretty big contrast from 2.
>>344954458
Their upcoming Agents of Mayhem game supposedly takes place after the GooH ending that retcons the universe. Basically looks like it took the super powers of SR4 and ran with it without having to be weighed down by the actual Saints anymore.
>>344954863
>game has 5 endings and this ending is the official one since it leads up to the upcoming Agents of Mayhem game
Well then it don't matter what the hell happens, since the entire series is retconned.
Gat is now a police officer with Kinzie and Matt and the rest of the crew is unaccounted for.
Hopefully Shaundi stays unaccounted for.
>Poisons a guy with nuclear waste for insulting him with a bad deal
>Tricks the same guy into crushing his girlfriend with a truck
>Cripples a guy with pyrotechnics, ending his career
>Buries a guy alive as he begs for mercy
>Twists a katana around inside a guy's torso just to make him scream
>Shoots a terrified man out of a skyscraper window
I miss SR2 Boss. He did NOT fuck around
>>344955236
>it took the super powers of SR4
Hopefully it improved the animations. One of the things that made Gat Out of Hell more fun to play than 4 is that you didn't look like a fucking dofus gliding through the air.
>>344955161
Yes I know. But as I said, all the other games expanded it's dialog with all the voices in a smart way.
>mfw the Boss gives Matt all the rights to the Nyteblayde franchise
>>344955403
GooH's flying was one of the most natural feeling flight controls I've experienced in a game for a long while. Usually ended up with most of the clusters before I even did anything whenever I replay it due to how I liked the flying so much.
>>344955148
Almost forgot about that. Forgot they captured Gat's corpse and revived him somehow. Still IV really made the series rub the wrong way.
>>344955542
>Forgot they captured Gat's corpse and revived him somehow
They didn't revive him, he never died. The gunshots that cut him off on the intercom didn't even hit him. Zinyak teleported right into the plane and grabbed him.
>>344955542
No, Zinyak teleported into the plane and just took him. The reason being that Gat is the only person who can stop him.
>>344955542
>Forgot they captured Gat's corpse and revived him somehow.
You see it, man, Gat gets throatgrabbed by Zinyak and transportalated, still alive.
Man SR3/4 delved into Gearbox levels of bad writing.
>>344955542
Gat never died. They retconned it that he knocked Frenchie out, then Zinyak showed up and captured him immediately afterward. Loren lied that they killed Johnny and the Saints never recovered his body so it was a closed casket funeral.
Zombie Gat was a non-canon bonus character at the end of SR3.
>>344955685
In Volition's defense, it wasn't intended to go that way. The explanation in IV was unplanned. It was initially planned that he was going to be captured and rescued later, but for some reason or another THQ nixed that idea and he was officially dead, hence why you get Zombie Gat at the end of the game. It wasn't until Deep Silver bought them that Volition was free to retcon him back to life.
which saints grill would you fuck?
>>344955792
They were dropping hints in the Genki Bowl DLC that he was still alive as well.
>>344950960
Beats all those pkmn go threads.
>>344955889Kinzie or Viola
>>344954863
See
>>344955394
They didn't know what made SR2 so good. It was this strange world the Boss lived in, the strange over the top nature of things were kept grounded, but there were still there. The boss was a psychopath and his actions were almost cartoon like, but it didn't feel like a cartoon because They treat it serious.
SR3 just tosses out the grounded aspect and rubs the absuritity in your face. Like "lol the mayor is Burt Reynolds", lol luchadors and cyber rollerskaters.
>>344955792
>you'll never play the true SR3 before executive meddling turned it into the patchwork mess it ended up being.
Is PC SR2 also dead? No way to p2p?
>>344956260I still had fun.
>>344956473
It bothered me really, the gameplay itself was an improvement, but the city and story was absolute garbage compared to SR2.
Sad thing is that evidently early versions of SR4 were going to change Steelport more than it ended up being, but the final version has the city being virtually identical aside from a few buildings being removed/changed.
I would love to replay a redone version of SR2 with SR3/4 controls (no super powers though unless it's something like an end-game bonus).
>>344956750I actually really like SR2s gameplay
>>344956750
>I would love to replay a redone version of SR2 with SR3/4 controls (no super powers though unless it's something like an end-game bonus).
Just make it into a "Saints Flow" consumable, that gives you a minute of super powers, like it was in SR3. Or turn it into an activity like Blazing or insurance fraud.
>>344956750
Super Powers are game breaking and blows most of the fun. I'm replaying SR4 with the "No Super Movement" cheat and the game feels much more challenging and fun. The fights are way tougher and for once I fell like I have to call the homies for certain battles rather than leaving them untouched. Super Speed and Jump allowed for easy kills and getaways.And I can actually get to use the whole library of vehicles the game has to offer
>>344957245
>SR4 has a lot of unique vehicles and vehicle customization options compared to 3
>no reason to ever use any of them because super powers make them all obsolete
I'd be fucking mad if I was the guy who worked on that part of the game
>>344957595
Weird thing is that there are quite a few vehicles you can't even acquire or even get into in the normal game but can be unlocked with cheats. Almost all the vehicles from SR3 are in 4, and you see most of them during the game such as the STAG vehicles, but the game won't let you get into them or anything during the missions they are spawned.
>>344957595
Me too, I felt it was such a waste of potential and driving around with vehicles is fun, specially the X-2 Phantom I found at the beginning of the game.
What was this guy again?
Your number one ____?
>>344958053
Girl?
>>344957894
>>344957907
Didn't you drive 1950s cars in SRIV since the simulated Steelport is supposed to based in the 1950s?
>>344958053
Phuckboi?
>>344958482
That's just for one tiny side-mission and prologue bit. Gat Out of Hell had larger differences from base Steelport than SRIV did.
>>344958482
No, that's just part of the tutorial and a side quest later in the game.and there's a secret rare car that has an absurdly low spawn chance that ONLY appears in that one side quest, and if you miss it you can't get it again
>>344958737
What car? Feed me please.
>>344958837
http://saintsrow.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning
>>344958737
Can't you store the car in the garage though?
>>344959192
Yeah, but you can't save it to the garage if you never see it, and the only time it ever appears is in that side mission.

>>344961262
I'm afraid it's gonna die soon. I wonder how the other players Bosses look like.
The thing that sucked everything out for me was how over the top 3 was.
The first two were silly GTA but were grave and serious when it needed to be. The one cutscene in 2 at the funeral destroys any storytelling in 3.
Also, the gangs didn't have the same spirit than the ones in the original. With the other gangs, they had a theme and you can see that theme with them. 3's gangs? The same gang only with different colours and clothing.
Online PC SR2 still a thing?

>>344963982

Really craving these sort of games now since Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row.
Any other notable games like these on PC other than the GTA series?

>SR 2 - Shaundi
>SR:TT- Kinzie/Jane Valderama
>SR IV - Fun Shaundi/Future Shaundi
>Overall - SR 2 Shaundi
The game turned to shit after STAG appeared. Prove me wrong.
Been trying to play Saints Row 1 as it's the only one of the series I haven't finished, and it gets so fucking frustrating at parts.
Can't get past the final Los Carnales mission as you have to have a retarded AI drive you around the airport while enemies you can barely see due to the bad draw distance shoot you with rocket launchers. Fail the mission and you have to do the 2 minute drive from one side of Stilwater to the other all over again as the game totally lacks checkpoints in missions.
SR2 improved so much over SR1 it's ridiculous.
>>344963982
>donnie getting pissed off he wasnt in SR4
>mfw he wasnt in SR3

>Los Carnales final mission

>>344963472
SR2 is just that good anon
did the whole mod support thing go anywhere at all?
>>344964297
>wheel woman
Forgot about her. Guess Saints Row 2's the only game where it's a simple choice for me.
>>344964382
in what form?
should i hunt down for it?
Donnie didnt do anything wrong, it was David Carradine, not-vin diesel and Lt.Cm Worf who did wrong.
>>344964475
yes.
see Gentlemen of the Row.
lots of stabilization fixes and extra content
>>344964415
I've tried it but it's hard to see them as they fire at you back when they are still tiny specs on your end. Will have to watch videos to memorize it as I'm getting sick of having to drive back to the airport all the way from the Saints Row district every fucking failure.
If I fucking drove instead of Dex I would go right for the fucking plane instead of intentionally driving into every fucking enemy ambush in the area. Dex was trying to kill me even back then.
>>344955889
Shaundi
>>344964569
>>344964382
Donnie never really did anything wrong, he was just a guy with shitty luck who was always in the wrong place at the wrong time when it came to the Boss.
>>344964368
>>344964424
Viola's an annoying character, plus Sasha's voice acting is fucking awful. Kiki's the better Dewynter sister, without even bringing in the fact she's voiced by original the Nurse Joy.
I want to get into the Saints Row series. Do I have to start from the first one?
>>344964195
i kinda wished they remaster true crime games
>>344964639
I heard this doesn't really fix much. Does it? Should i pirate this game?
>>344964790
Fuck outta here with your literally garbage taste
>>344964690
lead them in or prefire them.
the biggest headache is the one on top of the containers right before the jump
>>344964790
>Sasha's voice acting is fucking awful
I second this.
There are more acting in her video, in game she sounds like a random girl with shitty quality.
Why couldn't Volition just make a true sequel to SR2 instead of making Agents of Mahem?
>>344964796
It would be a good idea, but the original Saints Row is xbox exclusive, so unless you have a redring360 laying around still, you'll probably have to start with SR2.
>>344964967
I guess they don't wanna make the same thing for the rest of their lives.
But they need SR to pull in people.
Fuck.
No but for real. Fuck Dex.
>>344964796
They all follow from one to the other plotwise, so starting from part 1 would usually be the ideal choice.. but the original game hasn't really aged that well in terms of control and user friendliness.
If you are going to play it make sure you do it before SR2 as the second game will spoil you in terms of improvements.
Should I play Gat out of Hell?
>>344965110
they were semi best buddies in SR1, with Gat being the boss's undisputed best friend.
it would have hurt to be set up like that by julius, and i'd be fucking mad too if you found out your friends let it happen.
Dex was a straight upbusta
>>344965136
this
some of the activities get ridiculously hard.
>>344965110
>>344965262
At least the Boss in SR2, at the height of his psychopathy, appreciated Troy keeping him alive
![latest[5].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/TFPJ1hs.jpg "latest[5].jpg")
>>344965182
It's fun and has better super powers and actual flight compared to SRIV. The city is much more varied compared to Steelport as well.. but it's really tiny and the game is really short. It's not that hard to finish the game in one playthrough.
also, Jezebel is CUTE.
>>344965396
im more surprised how well he did as an undercover cop
he was the 2nd in command at the very start of the gang and lost that position after you straight up blow away every other gang.
>>344965396
Speaking of Troy, sr3/4 Male Voice 1 is in fact the canon voice of the Boss and you have bad taste if you think otherwise
>>344965510
They did a pretty good job dropping hints that he was a mole throughout the game. He always resisted anything having to do with harming innocents or more police than necessary, knew a little too much about typical police procedures, andhe's the POV character in the manual.

You realize the game canon is that the boss got their dick blown off in that boat explosion right? May as well go all the way in that case.
>>344966004
You can do SR1's gangs in any order, so it's up to your headcanon how the Playa advanced to lieutenant so quickly. He was everybody's gopher in that game up until shit went down near the end.

I like the way you think, Anon
>>344966176
It's weird how they switched voices so many times. The only way to be consistent through the entire series is to use the black male voice as it's the same one all the way from 2 to GooH.
>>344955889
Real Shaundi, not the abomination from 3 and 4.
>>344966319
>playing nigger
I hope nobody does this
>>344966136
it just feels a bit more natural with some comments like Gat saying "you're Julius's new boy, huh?" when you barely spent any time with julius beforehand, but makes sense if you did Rollerz first.
in the VK's line, Tanya tells you Luz is wearing last seasons heels, Warren Williams claims the "Carnales would be ghosts by now if you stepped up," to Ben King.

Well, at least you're not him and friendly fire (not the store) is a thing.
>mfw the music kicks in in 3

I like how they made a big deal about the Boss being president, and it matters for all of 5 minutes in the actual game.

Fuzz co-op was so fun, even though it was so simple. Instead we get trash like that drive around with a tiger thing. Volition used to be fun.

exactly that's what pissed me off. the beginning of the game in the white house was great, went downhill from there
>>344965812
>Better gameplay than 2, not worse
The gameplay is pretty much the same.
>Better customisation options than 2, not worse
3 does have that. There are more tattoo options and you have more options for clothing.
>Better map than 2, not worse
Subjective.
>Better sandbox activities than 2, not worse
The sandbox activities that were kept from 2 played pretty much the same in 3 as they did in 2. Professor Genki activities were fun additions as well.
>Better music than 2, not worse
3 has better music than 2 by virtue of 3's music being in stereo instead of 2's shit tier mono. Also, I exhausted SR2's Mix 107.77's playlist rather quickly and no other station appeals to me.
>>344967207
clothing option =/ layered clothing
>>344955889The boss
>>344967207
3 did not have as much customization as 2 at all. Anybody who thinks it did never actually played SR2.
Also Stilwater was definitely better than Steelport, even SR1's Stilwater in it's primitive state was leagues better than SR3's city.
Also the music in SR2 was in stereo unless you were playing the porting disaster that was the PC version.
>>344966784
And then you have Keith David doing all those "REMEMBER WHEN WE [did political campaign trail thing]?" even though the player did absolutely none of that or saw it even alluded to.
>>344967513

>>344967773
Only after other people stepped in and patched it up, try playing it vanilla. The game can't even keep up with you driving a car and will have you fall into a void as it fails to load the next section of the city.
>>344967773
>it was aight
Fuck you say?
>>344964240
It looked terrible and unfun at E3.
I would have rather that rumor that they were going to use the ending out of Gat Out Of Hell where it would reboot the earth and the Saints as we know them never existed as Volition were apparently thinking of doing a Cop show parody as the reboot with some of the Saints characters showing up.
>>344962837
Pants are from some space dude costume star wars or some shit, probably dlc. I don't remeber it was long time ago.
>>344968321
Frankly the story has spun so out of control a reboot is about the only thing you can do with the series now.
I don't think anybody would even bitch that much if they had SR2-4 be a coma dream of the Playa and you wake up to do SR2 over again with better improvements to the gameplay.
Just the question of if they would ever want to let you be as malicious as you were in that game.
>>344968523
wut
Volition themselves said they didn't like how dark SR2 was.
>>344968056
Actually the better computer you have, the worse it'll run. unless your system meets the EXACT specs, it'll either run too fast (if your computer surpasses it) or too slow (if you run on a toaster) unless you tinker with the files.

>>344967364
>3 did not have as much customization as 2 at all. Anybody who thinks it did never actually played SR2.
I'm playing SR2 on PC as I post in this thread. SR3 allows me to have hand tattoos. There are also more tattoos in general to choose from in 3. There are more clothing options in 3 than "cloth shirt with a pattern", which is what comprises the vast majority of SR2's shirts. SR2 also has shit tier lower body clothing options.
>Also the music in SR2 was in stereo
It really wasn't. I'm using the high quality radio mod for the PC version that uses the music ripped from the Xbox 360 version. The bitrate is higher and the music sounds less shitty, but it's still in fucking mono. Put on headphones and you'll realize that it is.

SR2 cockney boss made that even better, because he was so nonchalant about the whole thing. They replaced the VA in 3+ for Robin Atkin Downes, and he tried too hard as a growling Eastenders type.
>>344963609
I imagined my Boss as a fat bastard chavvy cockney, so as soon as he escaped from prison he was straight into a tracksuit and hoody. As he got more and more powerful he got more into shiny black suits and lots of gold chains and tacky jewellery. Always purple highlights somewhere though. 3rd street representin
Rest in Peace, Fat Bloke. Your overweight slobbish thuggery had no place in stylish Steelport.

Nope, you can make the King of the Rumba beat in vanilla just fine.
Also, wish they could've kept Mr. Sheffield doing the cockney bastard voice - but the medic does just as good a job.
>>344950469
In SR2 I'd say Ronin > Sons of Samedi > Brotherhood
I don't like that in every game you have to play with a team in purple, I always preferred to have my Boss dressed in Red and Black and having the gang working with me look different was annoying.
>>344966782
>finding out you can land in the pool and take no damage
The only way to start it off
>>344969475
True, its just a niggle that annoys me. Compared to my other problems with the ones after two its very minor.
>>344969702
I'd do Sons of Samedi, Brotherhood then Ronin. The Saints carve out their territory from the Sons, then consolidate on that half of the city and introduce the Ultor plot, then go take control of the Financial district and the Old Church to take the fight to the suits (incidentally destroying the Ronin in the process because those bitches got in my way).
>tfw only played SR3
How much better is SR2
>>344970218
a lot better
>>344970218
It's about the same, honestly. People say it strikes the perfect balance between seriousness and silliness, but the serious stuff is either heavy-handed, silly itself, or both.
>>344957245
The atomic blast attack from the sky which cost a fortune in points was utterly game breaking. It killed literally everyone in a massive area but so many missions and sidequests ended in "Hold this area for a long time while we spawn huge amounts of baddies in it" challenges that it was easy as hell to finish off as a result.
>>344969016
>SR2 cockney boss made that even better, because he was so nonchalant about the whole thing. They replaced the VA in 3+ for Robin Atkin Downes, and he tried too hard as a growling Eastenders type.

>>344971172
>The atomic blast attack from the sky which cost a fortune in points was utterly game breaking. It killed literally everyone in a massive area
Really? Seemed like it never did shit for me except destroy lamp post, mailboxes, etc. Pretty much everyone came out unharmed from it, regardless of how close or far away they were from the point of impact.

The fully upgraded Death from Above? I had forgotten its name but looked it up it is called a Nuke. It kills practically everything in the area except bosses.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDb4gwhltR4
>>344972116
Yeah, when I do the nuke it does nothing but destroy the things i mentioned, it's like the game derenders everything for the explosion except environmental items, then respawns them after the nuke cutscene so even if i was right in the middle of a bunch of zinyak's troops, they'll come out unharmed.
>>344972616
That sucks mate, it was freaking insane for me, might be my PC was stronger than yours or I played a later patched version of the game where they over-powered it.
>>344972838
It's possible, my PC isn't a powerhouse. I bought it thinking it would be cool to try, even if a bit OP, and then it did nothing and was a waste.
So, Lin, Carlos, Gat, or the world. Which death hit you the hardest?
>>344973676
Carlos, only because I didn't play SR1, and Gat i figured they were going to bring him back later on in the game as a "surprise motherfucker" type deal, and the earth... only thing i cared about was them writing themselves into a corner with that one.
>>344973676
Gat's death was anti climatic as fuck, and the world took me by surprise. So the world

At the end of one of he sr2 dlcs the saints partner with ultor hence all the media shit
>>344977287
Still, feels like the jumped the shark big time with SR3, in terms of everything really except a more varied environment.
One thing i liked about Stilwater is you could look around and tell exactly where you were at any given moment. in SR3, all the area's looked the same except for a handful of unique buildings you get to own and use as safehouses.
>>344977732
I thought the way cars crumpled was neat in 3. I really enjoyed driving over things in the tanks. It did make most of the vehicles seem like they were made of tinfoil, mind you.
You're right about the SR2 locations. It felt like a city in the way that SR3's didn't. The completly identical shops didn't help there, and the much smaller map just made it seem like... playsets, I guess. Six little self-contained units nesting next to each other with one big (too big) building in the middle.
>>344977990
>I thought the way cars crumpled was neat in 3. I really enjoyed driving over things in the tanks. It did make most of the vehicles seem like they were made of tinfoil, mind you.
Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool too, though it sometimes caused some glitches as well like pic related, when you weren't in a tank and ran over cars with other cars that had large enough tires to run them over.

The ending of 3 was especially stupid with Shaundi getting captured again. I could believe it in 2, it happened early on, she was stoned off her ass the whole time and it was her ex who took her. She later got to be just as effective a homie as Pierce or Gat. In 3, she's supposed to be much more on the ball and aggressive, but she's just useless.
>>344979884

I made him look as close to The Son from Hotline Miami. He's a mafia boss, cocky, like doing things the hard way, sociopath, it only felt right to put him in the game. Unfortunately the white coat is not available in SR4 so I had to make a totally different female boss that is autism inducing.
