I was hoping that in co-op they would integrate the second player to cutscenes and refer to them as the vice president. A sad missed opportunity. :saddowns:

But that's Keith David's roll! There's nothing wrong with the saints forcing the constitution to allow for two presidents and one vice president.

So my friend has stumbled upon a weird thing. He's been playing with one of his friends, and they were up to the mission where they (pre Gang Customization)escape in the ship before Earth blows up. His friend was having trouble with this mission, so they decided to reload it and have him host to see if he could have better luck with steering the ship. His save file says 7% on it and has the correct "Learning the Rules..." mission title on it, but whenever he loads it the game starts from the very beginning intro cutscene as if he hadn't played at all.

Just got the 360 version from Amazon; I haven't really noticed any major frame rate problems so far. Keep in mind that I'm only a few missions in (just unlocked Super Sprint), I haven't touched co-op yet, and I'm not really picky when it comes to game performance or any of that stuff.

My XBL tag is Paul Revere 3K if anybody wants to get in my game for some coop good times. I have already promised another guy that I would play co-op with him, but he isn't getting the game for a couple of days.

The game is obviously playable, but it's the kind of playable that lets 2002 PCs run DX9 stuff. I'd say the only time the game shits the bed in a way that makes you want to avoid what you are doing are the aircraft vs aircraft mayhem stuff. Anything else is quite tolerable.

Also I still stand by the opinion that the horrible frame hitching and screen tearing are atmospheric and fun.

Once again I find Insurance Fraud to be basically impossible to beat. I'm so sick of this loving minigame . . . every time I play I rush to the "bonus zones" and attempt to ragdoll myself in front of oncoming cars, hoping to get hit into the air and then hit another car for bonus multipliers, but a) there are never any cars near me when I get up in the air, b) I can never get the pattern of green lights right so I'm basically always next to a bunch of stopped cars, c) I can't control my guy well enough to hit multiple cars in a row, d) this really gets old fast. What am I missing? I'm supposed to get $600,000 and I can barely get $200,000 before the clock runs out.

Do a super run + jump as high as you can. And then at the peak of your jump hold down the ragdoll button. You'll cartwheel hilariously though the air for a little bit and have so much momentum by the time you hit the ground you'll end up with 100k+ if you hit some cars with a little practice. Don't worry too much about the bonus zones just get as much speed as you can.

At least that's what I did.

Pretty much ignore the bonus areas, start the ragdoll from a super-sprint + jump combo, smash into things repeatedly as hard as you can.

E:^^^ I'm seriously loving tempted to buy this game *again* and a 3mo xbl gold sub just for loving co-op, SR4 is so much fun to just play.

I found that if you continuously press the ragdoll button you can actually start rolling forward for more momentum during periods where you're slowing down. Do this on the roads going against traffic and chances are a car will hit you, sending you right back up. I managed to net 600k (and traveling across the city amusingly) in one go around doing it this way.




Then again if you could get gold in insurance fraud in SR2, all other iterations are easy in comparison. :smug:

I haven't noticed this with any other game, but I've noticed in this I can't seem to sprint, go forward, and jump at the same time. It doesn't seem to recognize all three inputs at once. I assume this is a problem with my keyboard? Anyone know a fix other than "buy a new keyboard"?

Other than that the game is awesome, I just have a hard time with Blazin' missions. :(

Only got to play for a few hours between jobs today, but holy poo poo is this game amazing. The walking animation during the "Pleasantville" sequence is loving hilarious. Probably not necessary to spoiler that as it's so early on in the game, but it was a welcome surprise. Also, the super powers make this game exactly what I wanted it to be. In previous games I would just turn cheats on and jump off of buildings, but this is even better. Can't wait to have a day off to play this game some more.

Not only is it not a bug (indicated by the chirpy 'nice view!' from your character as you launch into the sky), it's the only way to get those coveted gold rankings. It's 100% intentional and sums up the general attitude of the game.

The only thing I hated was the 2-3 hour mission tutorial (doing one of each side quest) as these are mostly quests I've done before in other SR games and can't be hosed with them anymore.

Dubstep gun is awesome
Get the unlimited sprint ASAP
You can drive cars? Dunno never bothered!
