    The way I see it, is if they want to keep going up then the only places to go are
    the hinted at time travel, intergalactic conquerors, which would ring pretty hollow after this game anyways, or literally fighting against the forces of hellwhich would have been an even better way to bring back Johnny.

    I don't really see how this is more or less lifeless than any other open world game I've ever played

    GTA IV is far from lifeless. And Red Dead Redemption as well.

    You must have been playing a far different GTA IV

    RDR never felt very lively except when you were at the cattle ranch or in a saloon playing cards.

    But damn if it wasn't pretty.

    I've rescued almost every one, and the rescue missions have all been amazing.

    I'm still pretty terrible at the hacking mini-game, but my wife thinks it is fun, so I am in luck.

    I haven't settled on a outfit other than the Sim Hero suit in white and silver, worn with a purple heavy weight mask or silver and purple intergalactic helmet. It just looks like something a super-villain would wear.

    But it's the only way to keep Pipe Dream alive!

    Put Pipe Dream in everything

    I really love the naming conventions in this game
    Some of Kinzie's missions being classic rock songs with "white" in the title - "White Rabbit," "White Wedding," "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "White Light/White Heat"

    And then Matt Miller having a trio of missions called "The Pledge," "The Turn" and "The Prestige"

    Reminds me of how in season two of NewsRadio, there was a string of episodes with the following titles:

    - In Through the Out Door
    - The Song Remains the Same
    - Zoso
    - Houses of the Holy
    - Physical Graffiti
    - Led Zeppelin
    - Presence
    - Coda
    - Led Zeppelin II

    Why in that order? Who knows. Why leave out Led Zeppelin III? Who knows

    But I like it

    Just beat it a couple hours ago. That ending was fantastic, along with the post credits scene.

    I'm still trying to figure out what part of that mission was censored. Because I never even saw the objectionable object, so I'm wondering what's going on.

    The part that is censored is
    The fact that you gain power-ups from smoking drugs.

    That's why that mission has to not be in Australia.

    I did OK with most of the Pipe Dream things in No More Heroes 2, but I struggle with all but the most basic puzzles in SR4. I think it is the restriction with the right angle pieces. I feel like I should be able to rotate them, so when I get to a place where I need a certain one, part of my brain just says "rotate it" and then screams in frustration.

    I really love Genki's MOM. It's a ton of fun throwing things in holes.

    it took me an extra try on some of the harder puzzles, and one or two I even had to pull a screenshot to figure out the answer

    I'm not very good with time pressure though

    I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us

    I did the Keith David mission that somehow gives you more time with hacking. That helped a little, but there are still some that just make me stare.

    guys I just got back from out of town so I have only been able to play for two days but I am pretty damn happy with everything except the clothing again

    for a while I decided that I was gonna be a guy with super powers running around in a Freckle Bitch's teeshirt, so actually it's ok

    Another thing about character side missions that is lame is that they're just the map events. So all they're doing is directing you to map events with filler dialogue that doesn't really make sense or have any importance. And if you've already done those events you just auto complete the quest

    So really the only unique quests in the game for characters is their loyalty mission.

  • Options
    DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    I don't mind that too much, Langly. Those things are still mostly fun things, and I enjoy the characters, so them talking about stuff is fine. Pretty much all of the activities in SR4 are more fun than activities in SR3. I do miss driving around with a temperamental tiger in the passenger suit.

    What I find helps with hacking sometimes is starting from the end and working backwards. If you know you need a particular piece or pair of pieces to finish (down-right right angle followed by a horizontal line for example) putting those in right away can help focus your options for the early placements in the puzzle.

    SR4 also attaches some pretty neat rewards to a lot of those side quests, so you definitely get more out of them than you did in SR3. I like the fact that a lot of upgrades that you can get only come from doing the side stuff, including challenges. I can understand how that is shitty for someone who doesn't bother with that kind of thing ever, but I always do that kind of stuff, so it's just a bonus for me.

    I like the side missions because they give me a nice pace to do the map events at

    when I played SR3, I did every fucking thing on the map as soon as I could
    and that got a little overwhelming

    welp, just finished the game

    they left themselves room to do so much stuff oh my goodness
    I hope they bring back Oleg and Nyteblade in a future DLC

    Oleg for Kinzie and Nyteblade for Matt

    also, the drawings at the end of the credit show that Viola was supposed to be in the game?

    frankly I'd have rather had her than Asha

    oh well, again, hope she somehow makes it into a DLC

    also, how great would a Bill and Ted-esque content for this game would be? so great

    crossposting from the g&t thread because I need help

    So my co-op partner and I ran into a problem with the grand finale. Every time we get to a certain point
    after you get the power armor and blow up some stuff, and then get the "escape" prompt and reunite with the ship
    my co-op partner and I go through our little animation and then I die instantly... and then we reload from checkpoint... and I die instantly again. We've restarted the game and reloaded the mission three times and it's kept happening and as far as we can figure will keep happening until we figure out how to fix it. He was hosting, by the way. Try to load from my save and have me host took us to some entirely other thing for some reason, so that angle won't work either. I can't find anywhere online how to fix this, possibly because it's happening in the last mission. Any suggestions?

    Just read this in G&T and want to let everyone here know: the latest patch has broken the guns and has a chance of corrupting your save. So for the time being don't save your game.

    Is there a patch I should avoid for ps3?

    Man, do I love the rescue missions and loyalty missions. Every single one of them was great.

    I'm trying to figure out what all the super outfits are references to
    Pierce's is pretty clearly Raiden

    Keith's is Lando Calrissian

    Matt's is Nyteblade, right?

    I feel like there's some other Mortal Kombat ones in there that I'm not picking up on
