    So I checked the stats section of the game today... since 'dropping' into Steelport I've dropped the population by 5744.

    That's just blowing my mind.

    Huh. I always thought only the Boss' lines change depending on which voice you use, but apparently not. Take the Learning Computer mission...
    In the pre-cut-scene phone call, Male Boss 1 simply has a brief chat with Kinzie where she tells him to go to her place. Female Boss 1, on the other hand, has a noticeably longer chat with her where Kinzie reveals she's feeling nervous about inviting someone into her inner sanctum.

    I'm gonna have to play through this game at least seven times, don't I?

    I'm too lazy to screenshot my boss, but I took the uncreative way out and duplicated my SR2 boss:

    Skinny white lady, age slider all the way up, sex appeal slider all the way down, grey hair in the '50s housewife style, wearing a black suit and pink bunny slippers.

    Much like the classical music station, the visual of a wrinkly old lady blowing shit up and being a psychopathic badass adds an extra layer of funny for me.

    That's the perfect pose, how did you get it?

    That pose is from one of the early missions where The Boss shoots a security camera. More specificially the mission where
    you steal the penthouse. Loren is talking about how you're not a threat and then Matt slides over his phone.

    So, who played this on hard? More importantly, who enjoyed it more that way? My first run was on hard, but now I'm playing through again on normal. Man, it's way more fun this way. Hard didn't feel "hard", just tedious. You had to pretty much just get headshots the entire game. If you shoot them anywhere else and they just do a weird bulletsponge dance until a stray bullet lands in their face, or they got tired and just fall over. Most games I play on hard for a feeling of accomplishment, but it just doesn't feel right in Saints Row.

    Is...

    Is the commander of STAG voiced by J.K. Simmons?

    Late game (well into STAG) spoiler:
    The dialog has to be different for each of the voices in this part. HAS TO BE. My Commander just asked the second in command if she'd fuck Pierce.

    It is.
    Female Boss 1 accidentally reveals that Kia and Cyrus have slept together at least once and Male Boss 1 nearly gives himself away when talking about Shaundi. I have no doubt the other voices have different lines as well.

    I'm confused about the whole warning at the top of the OP. I've only been doing missions as they come up and not running around activating activities before hand like it says (this is on console version).

    when I did the mission to unlock the genki activities all pierce did was give me a call when I accepted the mission, I drove to the marker and it wiped to me inside starting the activity with the announcers and I just went through it.

    Is there any way to get an N-Forcer to spawn after completing the last mission? I need one for the carjacking diversion, and getting even a 5 star wanted rating isn't getting one to spawn for me. Or am I just missing something really obvious here.

    just finished the game.

    re: endings:
    the gangstas in space ending was a nice ME2 parody, and in general felt more in line with the rest of the game.

    the stag-pocalypse ending/kill killbane ending felt much more in line with the tone of SR2 and its heavy-hitting storylines. LOTS of people died in SR2.

    both endings had their merits, but i think the first one fits SR3 better.

    1. the saints are very defensive of their reputation - see their attempts to shut down his TV interview. after totally discrediting killbane, and killing the rest of his gang, why would they care about him escaping? ESPECIALLY since chasing him means the saints take a HUGE hit to their national reputation. this is the gang that's got comic books, energy drinks, etc. that all depend on the saints being cool to move product. if the saints aren't cool anymore, no more t-shirts and energy drinks, no more revenue, etc. Remember, the saints aren't just selling their stuff in steelport, they've leveraged their ultor front company to distribute worldwide.

    2. the saints already killed the guy who killed johnny gat. loren had the ball dropped on him, and the saints had their vengeance. notice that the boss was very focused on killing loren, but once that was done, didn't harbor any particular animosity against syndicate members who joined the saints. so killbane functioned more as an internal tyrant to the failing syndicate rather than a legitimate saints antagonist. if killbane had killed gat, i'd have taken him out, no question. but he didn't kill him, he didn't order him killed, and he wasn't even on the plane.

    3. the whole stag-pocalypse Daedalus thing was super cool, but could have happened for both endings. there's the undeniable cool factor of being your own city-state, but on the other hand, you don't have BURT FUCKING REYNOLDS as mayor anymore.

    Words can't express how happy that made me.
    I mean come on, most games make you so damn powerful by end game anyways. This one just says, "Fuck it. You're a god now."

    Plus, having 2 god'd out Boss in co-op is basically hilarious.

    It's just another example of how SR3 gets me

    Oh shit guys, I think my Steam download was borked such that i've missed a bunch of the story cut scenes.
    I just did the Syndicate tower bit and everyone's all mad about Johnny being dead and talking about his funeral? WTF? Last I saw he was flying the plane.

    In my videos folder I only have numbers: 1, 2, 9, 13, 14, 15, 20, three 22's and 7 other ones without numbers. Anyone know what i'm missing?

    You're not missing anything. It's just really really really poorly explained.
    I'm assuming you've seen that scene on the bridge? Where Killbane attacks with rocket launchers? The Boss and Pierce are riding a hearse. That was supposed to be Johnny's funeral.

    Yeah, Gat bought it, off-screen, on the airplane.

  • Jimmy MarkuJimmy Marku LondonRegistered User regular
    Oh my. That is utter bullshit.

  • AthenorAthenor Battle Hardened Optimist The Skies of HiigaraRegistered User regular
    Yeah. I've suspected for a while that some cut scenes or explanations have been cut by accident, or by bug, or something. Like, in one mission, my boss mentioned hearing a guy's voice over the phone, but I never heard anything. A few other missions have been like that. I don't think the system is properly feeding one cutscene into another.

    yeah I'm at the same point and also got a feeling I missed a lot of scenes. The bit before the tower and after the manager's office I also got nothing whereas I expected some kind of commentary on the info they retrieved from the computer.

    The results of dropping the ball seem to have not quite connected for a good number of people too, it would seem. I would definitely agree that many of the cutscenes in the game needed some better direction.

    The cheat DLC offers differently-named options that are basically the same. The only thing I think is missing from the cheat DLC is the
    immunity to being ragdoll'd by explosions.

    You can get that at level 32 or so anyway so it's not a lvl 50 reward.

    He also greeted her with " 'sup ", which might not be character specific but was goddamn hilarious.
