    Oh, ok.

    Well, I'm gonna start over anyway, because in addition to installing GotR I was apparently supposed to install something called a speed patch? I guess I've been playing 25% faster than normal the whole time, which explains a lot--game feels completely different now.

    Man this is the worst port

    Well, if you don't want the other gangs keeping territories for your next playthrough (Nothing you can do about the current one) if you're using the 1.9 beta, you can just turn that mod off in the installer. If you're not using 1.9, you should be.

    I'm experiencing something that may or may not be a bug/problem. I look at my map, and I haven't done any of the missions past Appointed Defender yet. 4 or 5 territories are gray. Is that supposed to be that way?

    You mean the downtown area? That's Ultor controlled. Saints territory is (of course) purple.

  • DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    I bet it is
    pure speculation, but still potentially correct
    Gat's dead for real
    and Angel is your rebound bro

    Just an update... I ventured into the official forums, and yep

    serious spoiler
    Some company made Saints Row bobbleheads, and one of them is zombie Johnny Gat.
    That could tie into the things the developers have been saying about their being a tighter narrative with choices and results. I'm intrigued.

    Make sure that you're using the latest v1.9 beta instead of the incredibly old and outdated v1.8.

    No. When I said gray that was really a bad description. More like not colored over at all. As I type this I'm gonna fire up the game and screenshot it. It looks like at least one area has gone back to normal. Here:

    Maybe this is normal and I've never noticed it before?

    Well don't I feel dumb. I'm relieved since this is my no fall damage save.

    No fall damage is pretty easy to get if you're out in the open. I had a much harder time just activating it since "E" is the key that also disengages your chute.

    Yeah well try failing at it for years and thinking that :P The funny thing is when I did finally pull it off, it DID feel easy.

    I've always done it at the mission, so it can range from tricky to almost impossible (if it gets under the elevated rail). I wonder if you can do it at the airport, by the helicopter garage.

    The place me and Eraserbrain did it was over the university. The Saints kept REALLY trying to park under billboards and shit but it wasn't hard to navigate at all except for those last few feet of correction or whatever you want to call it. There's a grassy area north of the airport across the bridge that's not too bad either, but it likes to take away the diversion prompt on you and make you plummet.

    Edit: it also REALLY helps to do it in coop because your buddy can be right there so you can make another attempt, instead of having to take a walk of shame / reload back to base.

    Here is the thread "which lieutenant will die?"
    On this page, the bobble heads are linked
    http://www.saintsrow.com/forums/topic/47105?page=29

    There are open speculation spoilers all over that thread, FYI.


    You could enter some contest to win a Killbane bobblehead a few weeks ago, I don't know what the deal is with the rest of them.
    Here is the company's facebook page, it is mostly in Spanish

    That's a lot of bobbleheads.

    Also, don't forget, we have the ability to make major choices this game.

    If you land on the car during the base jumping (parachute) diversion, you unlock the ability where you don't take damage from falling, from any height.

  • DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    Yeah, we saw a major choice with the Killbane fight, and have heard something vague about conquer or destroy when taking territory. So maybe there is a way to save the lieutenant. I sure hope so!

    If they really do go through with it, (CHARACTER) better have the most epic death ever. I'm talking about wading through Rasputin levels of punishment before finally expiring.

    and taking every motherfucker in a mile radius with him, too. With at LEAST one major bad guy included in that, and it sure as shit better not be near the beginning either. Naturally, the revenge has to be twice as epic, as well.

    I'm holding hope for it to be choice related though.

    That picture reminded me of the time when I was playing COOP and we were being chased by the FBI. I saw a gas station and I said 'I have a great idea!', thinking I would blow up the gas station as I drive through it, killing all the feds behind me. What really happened is that we hit one of the gas pump and we were mega launched half way across town and into the ocean.

    Yeah, People are saying about Gat that it may be something like the suicide mission at the end of mass effect 2. Im probobly going to sound like an ass, but I dont mind TOO much if Gat kicks it since the bobblehead is just a zombie which looks like Gat (which could mean you get him as a zombie follower) just so long as it isnt at the first mission.

    That would be stupid.

    Remember what I said about it being damn near impossible to spoil Saints Row The Third?

    That doesn't mean that I don't want to be surprised by what the devs come up with while playing it.
