    It was never cars that got me on the vehicle thefts. It was those damn police chopper snipers. Those bastards can kill a garbage truck in four hits

    I was dumb enough to do most of it post-STAG. Just, a VTOL firing one continuous laser beam at you for six blocks. Ugh.

    I just now got the pun of the name.

    I first got it when I was reading, I believe, a PC Gamer review of the first game. It had a photo him holding onto the back of an airplane, post-grapple, and the caption said something like, "Why are you holding onto the tail of that plane? Just cause."

    Well, to pass the time.

    This remains one of the all time great SR3 vids.

    Aubrey Norris is tweeting that we'll get more Saints Row stuff tomorrow. My money is on a public release of the 2 minute PAX demo they showed. I got to see it in LA and it's much better than the teaser we got.

    Still no word on approval for my article despite my badgering. *sigh

    By two minute demo do you mean a trailer? Or gameplay? Two minutes hardly seems like enough time for a proper demo.

    It was the footage shown at PAX with open world gameplay and an announcer that talked about features while someone played the actual game. I thought I saw 2 minutes when I glanced at the media player timer when Steve showed it to me on his laptop. I may have been mistaken.

    Well in the meanwhile, there is a new trailer.

    Trying to steal a garbage truck after the bridges are up is pretty terrible.

    Yeah... there's like one route you can take where you don't have to try and jump a bridge with the garbage truck. It was such a pain in the butt. You can give yourself a few seconds of breathing room if you use your Burt Reynolds ability.

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    But yet it's also inspiring in that insane Saints Row sort of way.

    i'm really glad i at least thought to knock those out before the bridges went out, yeah

    still should have done it before STAG showed up though

    really, anyone who wants to do those, i recommend

    a. not doing them
    b. failing that, doing them ASAP

    c. Use Sandbox+ that lets you toggle world zones like bridges up/down, cribs (original gang version and the saints ones), Arapice island, Thermopylae, Daedalus, etc in real time while playing using keyboard shortcuts. DISCLAIMER if you're on pc, that is

    Hey Idol, I see on your site you talk about a GUI interface for GoS--is it safe to say that's pretty much been put on permahold?

    I think if you do enough of the Black Book quests, the bridges drop back down again.

    It's in an unfinished state, but really just needs one more dedicated push to get it out. It's just that I have mostly been working on Sandbox+ lately for both SR2 and SRTT. I honestly just kind of do whatever I find interesting, and haven't been really inspired lately to return to it.

    I swear I was able to one of those involving a slow clunky vehicle on a raised bridge by using the upgrade that adds the nitro boost to all vehicles. It may have been for a general mission though, not a theft one.

    Volition is already on record that you will be able to import your SRTT character into SRIV.

    I kind of figured--just curious is all. You do amazing work, and it's made SRTT infinitely more enjoyable for myself and others. Not sure I ever thanked you for that explicitly, so... thank you!

    i'm sure it's possible, but they're already aggravating as is

    it's best to just avoid the issue entirely if you have the option

    It's not. I met the voice actor and would have died from pure fanboy joygasm shock if it was actually Tim.

    It does. Zinyak is a fantastic villain and brings an intelligent cultured menace to the proceedings. It is a huge step up from the three buffoons from SRTT.

  • manwiththemachinegunmanwiththemachinegun METAL GEAR?! Registered User regular
    Matt and Phillipe were fine, just under developed. The Dewynter Sisters were fantastic. Only Eddie was a muscle head.

    Yeah, the whole villain thing just didn't feel cohesive in SRTT. I didn't buy Killbane as the big bad, really. And STAG was just meh. And I was kind of surprised at how quickly Phillipe got off'd. But the only thing that really shocked me was when
    one of the Dewynter's got her neck snapped.
    That was an 'Oh shit!' moment for sure.

    I liked Cyrus in so far as he's really the only logical response most sane people would have against a group like the Saints and Syndicate (gang members with access to Reaper drones, attack helicopters and top tier cyberwarfare personnel). I thought his reference back to Jessica was brilliant justification in bringing a military presence into the city. Because yeah, you the player stuff a young woman in the back of a trunk and had her boyfriend kill her. Yes she was a bitch, but it was still one of the worst things the Boss ever did.

    Plus he's badass enough to survive one ending, that doesn't happen often to the Boss' enemies.
