Yeah, I found the early game of SR3 would be settling into a rhythm of getting a lot of aggro, then just buying a nearby property (if one wasn't available) and immediately ducking into it. It's sustainable if you're doing missions at any real pace, and it's a good way to start amassing a lot of money as those investments pay out.
You kind of have to try to piss off the cops. You're not going to get into trouble for running over the odd pedestrian. You'll have to murder a couple civilians in a row to get attention. If you do something like give a police car a love tap, you'll get one star, and they'll half-assedly shoot at you until the star disappears on its own, or you earn more stars. If you get four or five stars, they'll throw armies at you forever, but once you're settled a little bit you have a ton of firepower of your own, and it's incredibly easy to drop aggro outside of story missions.
It does start to get a little grating during some of the later story missions, admittedly, but it doesn't ruin the game or anything.
In any case, just reaching a high level opens up options for unlimited ammo and effective invincibility (even without cheating), so if you just want to murder the shit out of everything, the option is there.
Hell, the game practically rewards you for REALLY pissing off the cops - it's not hard to get an APC with a turret early on, and that can easily hold out long enough that the cops send tanks at you... which you can then steal. Get said tank back to base, and you can literally press a button in a fight and someone will bring it to you basically anywhere.
It gets really funny when you pick a fight with the cops at one star, and run into heavy civilian traffic. Any melee or taser hit close to you with begin an escalating riot between the police and citizenry.

By the end of Saints Row 3 you've unlocked so many upgrades you are gods gift to chaos. Bullets are air. Falling from the top of a skyscraper to the street is more efficent than using the elevator. In fact the only thing that even marginally hurts you is when the FBI park an APC on your face and do burn outs.

Drive all over town looking for the lone Pay 'n' Spray in the area? Hell no! I own that tattoo parlor. That's just as good!
Glad to hear that superpowers are as great as we'd all hoped. Can't wait for the details... just hang up on whoever you're talking to. They'll understand!
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

No.typing from phone. Not on a call. Story is brilliant. Waaaaaaay better than 3 so far. Tons of fanservice (good kind done brilliantly) for fans of 1 and 2.
Tk is the glorious return of impromptu melee weapons from 2. You can wield tons of environmental stuff like fire hydrants, lamp posts, cars, people, etc.

Thank you. Thank you brilliant story means my heart is now at peace. Thank you sir for this information
15 hours in and the story is now at LEGENDARY status. People are going to flip their shit. Desparate to finish before leaving tomorrow.
I always thought that people flipping their shit was a bad thing. But apparently this is one of those expressions that can have both a positive and a negative meaning.
Ah, well. As long as they don't screw up Pierce, Kinzie or Oleg I'll be content.
Or the Boss, of course, but I'm pretty sure the writers have got her down after two games.

Awesome!
How many super powers can you have at once? I don't want to have to choose between flight or other stuff!
You don't have anything to worry about

I want to take my Neo-powers out into the real world and continue to wreck Monica Hughes' shit.
Though, being Saint's Row, I wouldn't worry about any parts of the game being non crazy awesome.

Sometimes people get confused, I guess.

Or British.
I would make a radio station consisting of nothing but Life is wonderful from deadly premonition as I mow down aliens or whatever.
I'm throwing "cautiously" to the wind, and being just plain old optimistic for this title.
I thought SR2 had a better story, while SR3 had better gameplay. I hope this game has crazy and good gameplay with a good and crazy story.
This.

No, no, cross-dressing zombies made of emerald with gigantor man-tackle are not ladies.
