    I'll bet it's the "I'm cowering because violence is scary" animation you see in SR 2.

    So I got back into SR2 tonight, and finished up the Fuzz missions in the suburbs. This is possibly the funniest game I've ever played.
    I just about lost my shit when I had to break up a fight between pirates and ninjas with a flamethrower.

    Guys...the trailer is up on youtube, which for april fools this year has a feature to turn every video into a silent movie.

    The trailer gets even better when you see it in black and sepia, with ragtime music playing in the background.

    I think Saints Row 3 is going to involve a lot of cock fighting. I expect there to be many rooster images around the game.

    Also, I remain disappointed that it wasn't subtitled "The Thirdening". On the other hand, they intend to allow me to beat down green luchadores with giant floppy purple dildos with handles.

    I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna nickname my Boss the "Purple People Eater".

    Gentlemen of the Row v1.9 Beta 12 is out! Come get some!
    http://idolninja.com/betadl.php

    v1.9 beta 12 changelog
    v1.9 BETA 12 CHANGELOG

    New logos by IdolNinja

    Oda Nobunaga Heraldic Crest
    Nin Kanji (Ninja)
    Strawhat Pirates (One Piece)
    Eye of Horus




    16 new optional gangs by IdolNinja added to the installer:

    Business Executive
    Nuclear
    Cowboy
    Hippie
    Scientist
    Construction
    Prisoner
    Firefighter
    Judge
    Real Pimps and Hos
    Sports fans
    Beach
    Sailors
    Food (Gyro Goat Mascot, Freckle Bitch)
    Weird Cop (Anoop and Lt. Freeball)
    Saints Clone Heroes (Gat, Carlos, Pierce, Shaundi)
    Brotherhood Clone Villains (Maero, Jessica, Matt, Donnie)
    Ronin Clone Villains (Kazuo, Jyunichi, Shogo, Dane Vogel)
    Samedi Clone Villains (General, Sunshine, Veteran Child, Samedi female soldier)

    TOTAL NEW OPTIONAL GANGS IN 1.9: 31




    Test Slider Horror optional mod by IdolNinja added to the installer

    Boosts all the slider values to the extreme so you can exaggerate all features (eyes, nose, brow, etc.) This will look WEIRD on your current character, and probably best for starting a new character or just messing around with.



    No Ronin Jacket Logos by RedRage (Optional Mod)

    Adds an option in the menu to remove the dragon logo from the back of Ronin Jackets. This is only for the male and female Ronin jackets, and not Jyunichi's that has morph issues.




    The following clothing items have been fixed so that they no longer pixelate through inappropriately when worn by female characters:
    * Sunshine's one-off jacket
    * General's Coat
    * General's Shirt
    * Save Earth Tee
    * Women's Biker Jacket
    * Tobias Pants




    MISC TWEAKS AND FIXES

    Rewrote a big chunk of the optional menu installer and broke everything up into categories to allow for expansion. Also corrected some bugs where certain mods wouldn't install correctly like the height ones.

    Added original spray tags as a choice in the optional installer

    Added original crazy salesman jacket dollar signs as a choice in the installer

    Disabled Aisha Crib cash lightcone from within mission tss03 Down Payment so it no longer appears in the opening cutscene.

    Added Doorman npc morph cheat. The code is #182.

    Removed mosaic pixelization from Assless Chaps on both rear and pelvis.
    Definitely upgrade asap, as this fixes some serious bugs with the optional mod installer (I rewrote most of it.)

    Hmm. I'm wondering something about The Third.
    If you paid a bit of attention during Saints Row 2, you could kind of guess which of the main characters wouldn't make it. Carlos dies during the Brotherhood storyline and Gat spends several missions in the hospital during the Ronin storyline. As a result of this Carlos is nowhere to be seen in the Samedi and Ronin storylines and Gat is curiously absent during all the Brotherhood and Samedi shenanigans.

    Pierce and Shaundi, on the other hand, emerge from the story unscathed (well, OK, Shaundi gets kidnapped at the start of one mission, but she's rescued by the end of it). As a result, Pierce and Shaundi show up all over the place.

    I understand why Volition did this. Either you have a bunch of potential glaring continuity errors or you make multiple cutscenes for the same mission. One would be unacceptable, the other expensive.

    Still... with all the effort they seem to be throwing behind The Third I'm wondering... no, hoping that they do make multiple cutscenes for the same missions so that the canny observer won't be able to predict which (if any) of your crew kicks it during the game based on the cutscenes alone.

    Hey, Idolninja, I changed the resolution to take advantage of my widescreen monitor and now I get a weird screen and a dialog box way in the back of my desktop that says "createdevice failed." How can I force my resolution back down?

    Try using this windowed 800x600 settings.dat that AmnesiaSoft made:
    http://finalack.com/Idol/sr2/source/info_utils/SR2_settings.dat_windowed.rar

    It needs to go in your saves directory and replace the one that the game created. You can find it here:
    C:\Users\[profile name]\AppData\Local\THQ\Saints Row 2\settings.dat

    Usually if you run the game first that way, then set your settings, then it will work. Also, windowed is always much more stable than full screen with SR2 (as weird and contrary to logic as that is.)

    The creative error message is also sound related. One user has reported that unchecking the Disable all enhancements option in their speaker properties fixed the crashing:
    Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers -> Properties -> Enhancements -> Disable all enhancements
    sr2speakers.jpg

    Also, Powertools can cause crashing on cutscenes if you have outdated Direct X libraries. Go directly to Microsoft and use their web installer to confirm you have the latest and greatest:

    hopefully changing the speaker settings will make everything else redundant. I can't start the game at all and I already tooled around with the old James Brown save I had going.

    It really didn't work, I have to find all the clothings stores and get money for I try for specific styles like his. Secretary Clinton on the other hand, she should be easy.

    Decided that the SR3 teaser was so awesome, I needed to buy SR2 for PC. I think I saw some words of advice to PC folk a few pages ago; any other mandatory mods besides GotR?

    The only other mod that some people liked over GotR was the handling mod which lowers sensitivity for kbam players while driving. With the release of GotR beta 11, the handling mod has been integrated as an option you can select during the build process (with Ink0gnito's blessing.)

    The bottom line is that GotR includes 99.99% of all SR2 mods as either part of the base install, or as optional with the new menu installer.

    I would also recommend giving the FAQ a read regarding hardware reqs before purchasing. You might be surprised about what kind of minimum specs you'll need to run the game well:

    You know...after watching more gameplay of GTA 4, there's another thing I like better about Saints row 2...

    When you put a car in your garage, It STAYS in your garage, even if you take it out for a drive. I mean, in a GTA game, you might put some nice cars in your garage, but you NEVER use them because 99% of the time you're going to lose them. In the row, there's no problem. I guess one of your highly loyal old people picks up the car for you.

    It's also cheaper to blow them up and get them back out than repair them.
