The guys got back to me and fixed my account ("the account was not accepting any combination of username and password"), so now I can log into the website. So, I go into SR3 and log into the community and...as soon as I start typing my password, the game crashes. Typing causes a crash? Seriously?

Man Saints Row just does not like you. Ouch. I never had this problem. Someone had similar problems and it might be cause of the hard drive.

Also yes avoid the goddamn wiki. Fuckers didn't even put a spoiler warning.

Someone did that in SR3, and considering SR4's character creation is similar I wouldn't doubt it. Haha that would be great though. Running around as Beavis as The Great Cornholio.

edit: An SSD eh? Yeah I"m googling and it seems there isn't a solution. Bummer. Only thing I notice is a bunch of people are having the same problem. Might be the servers. :/

I doubt that, since it crashes the instant I hit any key in the password blank, way before it had any chance of transmitting something.

edit: it wasn't doing this the day before yesterday.

Pre-loading Saint's Row 4, and I just re-downloaded SRTT so I can finally finish off the story. I got kinda bored by the missions (especially the DLC ones), but the hour I spent dressed as He-Man and causing traffic accidents with a giant dildo was pretty choice.

As someone who played SRTT, GTAIV, Skyrim and New Vegas on the PS3, I don't get the PS3 hate. I've never had framerate problems with either, and I'm not sure why that's become the stereotype for any open-world game.

Saints Row The Third's ridiculously low PS3 framerates aren't some kind of myth, the game dipped into single figures at times. Some people aren't as sensitive to low framerates as others, but if anyone is, the console versions of Saints Row 4 probably aren't a good bet. The quick look Giant Bomb did is a pretty good indicator. I found that the low framerate actually hurt my ability to play the game during the blaze activities and even some more hectic combat sequences when aiming became difficult. But like I said, I haven't played the console version much. Maybe you'd get used to it.

The rest of those games I haven't played so I can't comment on them.

I'll put a knife right in you.

That article is pretty clear that it's all speculation. The response from Steam is exactly what I'd expect to hear from customer service people. They're not going to tell you how easily you can circumvent the law with their service.

Old Shaundi: 'Someone gets it!'


I couldn't be happier. :allears:

You know Shaundi doesn't really have much room to criticize considering the only thing she ever did in SRTT was get kidnapped twice and be angry at me all the time.

A trooper stands before us. I played SR2 on PC after playing it on the xbox and it was almost unbearable. I still beat it (again) but it was a thoroughly less enjoyable experience. I hope my 5850 gets along well with the PC version. ATi cards are weird.

According to Idol you should be fine. I played and beat SR3 with that exact card and it went pretty well. I couldn't max anything out but I was above "average" settings the whole way with like 30-40 fps pretty steady except when lots and lots of poo poo was exploding all at once. Same engine only optimized it should go pretty respectably well for you, I think.

I just hope I don't have to update my drivers again. It's always such a pain in the rear end. gently caress ATI drivers forever.

They've discussed this some.

Unlocking districts removes a bunch of that harsh red and replaces it with lighter blues and such. After you beat the game, you apparently unlock about a dozen different themes to play in, including Classic Steelport, or adding a black and white Noir theme.

So, long story short, no.

You can keep playing after the ending, but there's no mission replays.

At least for maybe a week or so until Idolninja mods it in to the PC version.

That's a relief. I disliked it so much it might've detracted me from wanting to play the game entirely due to it.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
Are there going to be other filters besides Red, Blue, and Noir? Is there anything approaching "normal, sun shiny day with minimal color correction?" Because if there's one thing Deus Ex:HR and Fallout 3 taught me, it's that filters over long periods of time are harsh on the eyes.

Yes, I even mentioned that Classic Steelport is in there. I've seen footage, the game looks exactly like daytime in SR3, except you're running around with superpowers. They also showed the fully upgraded ground pound ability, and it is AMAZING.

It's honestly kind of lame. You can only use it from super high up and while it's fun once or twice it actually gets annoying if you want to use the ground pound to get to the ground quickly.

It specifically has a 360 controller setting, so you're good to go.

It's also worth looking up some mods - there's not a lot, but one good one allows you to tweak the destruction physics to make them more or less sensitive.
