so i knuckled down and beat this today, after talking myself out of buying GHWT for the moment. little over 40 hours, 77% complete. this is a damn fun game, i'll probably even go back and do some of the other activities and diversions and stuff.
Judging from what I had to do to complete the last last mission, you probably need to do the strongholds for the "thead" before you can access their last mission.
So here's something odd: I beat all the missions except for the last ones in each thread.
I did the mission where I fought Maero with the mini-gun, Killed the Ronin invading my crib, and killed the voodoo guy
But for some reason I can't find the last missions.
Am I missing something?
Check to make sure you did all of the stronghold missions too. They can be easily missed sometimes.
And, man, this game is a blast in co-op. Did all the activities and missions with a friend, and each one played better then in Single-player. Especially the ones that gave the second player a different job to do, like escort. :winky:
Just finished this game, it was a lot of fun. I wish I had someone to do the activities with though. Most of them are pretty good, theres just a few I don't feel like finishing now that I have beat the game
I just wanted to point out at this moment in time that riding around in a septic truck with an anti-establishment French jester behind the wheel and spraying raw sewage all over expensive buildings while Ride of the Valkyries is blasting from the radio speakers is probably the closest thing I'll ever get to a religious experience.
I expected to like this game. I did not expect to love it this much.

Late to the party, I know, but I just got this from Gamefly this past weekend and am having an absolute blast.
Where is a good place to do the parachute diversion? I tried putting a helicopter in my roof garage and using it over and over, but it disappeared after the second time it blew up. Are there any buildings I can get to the roof of?
Not sure carcass, that was one of the few diversions I didn't do. You should still be able to get the heli out of the garage though. It was my understanding that vehicles placed in there were yours and if you blew then up you just had to pay a repair fee the next time you picked it from the list. I know I've done that with cars and bikes.

I know I've done that with cars and bikes.
I checked the garage last night and it was back. Either it glitched out momentarily, or there's a time limit on how fast you can get it back.
But yeah, I know the GTA4 v SR2 discussion is so 2 months ago, but I would say GTA4 is the better story while SR2 is the better "game". In GTA4 I never really had much inclination to do anything outside of the story, except for the occasional game of darts. But holy crap, there's just so much fun stuff to do in SR2. I've played it about 20ish hours now and am just now almost done with the Brotherhood missions (my first gang). I haven't touched the others. It's been all activities and screwing around. I absolutely love the unlockables.
Just imagine how cool doing all the stuff you just did is when you're playing it co-op with a friend. This game is perfect for that kind of thing. One of my friends and I spent at least an hour strapping explosive satchels to people them throwing them at cars.

Yeah, the game seems perfect for some system link goodness.

That sir, is excellent. I had done the reverse of that (strapping explosives to cars, driving them at a crowd, diving out and setting them off), but your method is better.
New idea: Is there a place where you can get on a roof with people? Strap the explosive to them up there and toss em to the street below.
man i gotta break this out again sometime soon, i beat the story and got sucked into other games. SR2 is so good for little mayhem breaks though.
also, re the disappearing helicopter during the parachuting diversion. a couple times what happened to me was if i flew straight up from the HQ and then parachuted out of the helicopter then the helicopter would fall straight down but not get damaged enough to blow up. so its sitting right outside your HQ still functional, and when you go back to your helipad its not there because its sitting right outside instead. if you do the base jumping elsewhere or just make sure you blow up the helicopter when youre done with it it will show back up in your garage no problem.

I thought I had heard it blow up, but that's certainly a possibility.
So I started co-op on this game with a friend at 2pm... and we didn't get off till about 11pm. This game is incredibly fun and addicting. I've already spent more time in the game than I did with GTA4, and I had that for about a week before I got rid of it.
I've been playing saints row 2 since a friend got it for me for christmas and it's great alot of fun, I really can't wait to play some co-op but it's been just a fun game so far definitely on par with gta 4.
I look forward to unlocking more stuff with the game though.

Just got this for Xmas. The bugs and lack of polish kind of irritate me some, but I can appreciate the developers' commitment to pure unrelenting carnage. I don't suppose there's a "PA SR2" meta tag for coop goodness?
some xmas dlc would have been rad, running around all done up like santa and causing unspeakable havoc would have been sweet. hopefully we at least get something at some point.

We had this for Saints Row 1.
If I ever find out who dropped the ball this time around, they will be beaten. With a stick .

I'd prefer giving the UFO named Destroy ACTUALLY FUCKING WEAPONS OMG COCKTEASING ASSHOLES.
I tried playing this the other day with a friend on Hardcore. Yeah, we're probably not going to attempt that again until we earn all the perks. I think we ended up getting stuck on level 2 of Snatch because it became too chaotic.
Yes. Which is fucking stupid. Unlockable vehicles which are actually detrimental to use? A cheat? Lame.
The UFO and mini bike mark your save with Cheats Activated, but supposedly they don't block achievements. Of course, I won't be verifying that until after I finish all the activities co-op.

I think the pre-order codes don't, but the regular ones do.

The preorder codes don't turn off achievements.
It's not like they do anything that would give you a big advantage in the game.

Pre-order codes DO NOT disable achievements, and im 90% sure they don't mark your save as having used cheats. It will still say "Cheat Activated" in the Cell Phone, but it isn't classified as a "Cheat".
And again, the UFO is the best vehicle for Barnstorming (aerial stunts).

I didn't even know there was barnstorming actually.
Anyway a couple of other requests I'd have would be to tone down the player's jerk level some. I mean I'm not asking to have him be a pansy but he could be over the top some times which was annoying.
Also bring back talk radio. I loved listening to those two nutheads in part 1 and it was disappointing when they weren't there in this one.
Also a dedicated station to the news reports would be nice. I sort of wanted to hear them but it wasn't that easy to do. I want people to talk about me blowing shit up.
These are all minor things but it would be nice if they were included in the next game.
I mentioned that before, the main character is a total, irredeemable prick who can sometimes be funny but is generally just an asshole who noone could genuinely like. They might fear him but that asshole will never have anyone he can truly count on besides Gat who kills cops for fun.
So fuck them both.
Not saying he should be soulful and lament the tradgedy of his existence but less of:
"Hey player, they washed your car but missed a spot, what we gonna do?"
You - "We kill that mother fucker, his family, his children and rape his dog, thats what we going to fucking do mother fucker"
"Shit dude, you hardcore"

He's not the kind of guy that would inspire loyalty, that's for sure.
And of course the very last mission shows just how petty the dude is.
I know he tried to kill teh guy but he wouldn't have been in a position to BE killed there if not for that guy saving his ass. And all he wanted was to make the Row a better place and stop the violence and blood shed.
The player character is a cock of unimaginable scale.

Yeah, but rewatch it and add the 10% more anger he notes in the closing.
What? I watch them more than once.
I am a freaking nerd.
But for some reason I can't find the last missions.
Am I missing something?

And all its done is show me how bad GTA 4 was.

It's basically the best vehicle for doing Barnstorming, hands down.
Still, your feedback is dully noted and will be shared
