I think it'd be fun if the Saints Row 5 'reboot' thing took a sort of condensed approach to the overall arc of the series so far. So you start out as a sort of street punk, join a gang, and work your way up the ranks as you start muscling other gangs out of the city one by one. Just at about the point you become the leader of the Saints (or whatever the new gang is?) right after pushing the other major gangs out of the picture, you have some big industrial accident happen. And that's when you become superpowered. So from there you're using your newfound abilities to start taking on bigger things than gangs- the police, the military, an evil corporation, and toss in some international crime syndicate type thing. Probably some other superpowered guys(maybe a former friend gets all self-righteous and superheroic and you clash, or a fallen gang boss from earlier in the game comes back as a Joker style crazy dude). The game ends with your rise to supervillainy and complete takeover of the city, crushing the government's last-ditch effort and taking it all for yourself. Basically going from SR1 to Doctor Doom over the course of a single game. Set the whole thing on a huge island and have you declaring it a sovereign nation for the ending. Then sequels can be taking other cities and launching an invasion to get the rest of the US, defending your island nation from aliens, or whatever. It'd give you plenty of gameplay time to want to play with vehicles and make them relevant again, but also have a greater escalation of power overall- the moment you get the ability to outrun cars feels a lot more powerful when you've been using them for a long time. But most importantly it'd have what people liked from each of the Saints Row entries- the street level gang wars, the SR3 crime syndicates, and the superpowers of SR4.

Does/how does the ending change if you don't do all the loyalty missions? I thought it was just a Mass Effect joke when the pre-mission text mentioned it, but I'd already did them all because why would I skip some of the best parts of the game?

You get an extra non-story segment before the credits, and it affects the final boss fight somewhat.

I threw my wallet at the screen, but nothing happened. I miss city of heroes  Robot Wizard loves being a wizard.I also think a 'whole escalation in one large scale game' would be pretty cool. Oddly enough I miss the option of being able to cram a cheesburger into my mouth mid firefight for extra health.

Somewhere well hidden enough and out of the way, I found a closed shipping container. Expecting a quality collectible within for spotting the openable container among a bunch of sealed ones, I opened the door. The only thing awaiting inside was a SaintsFlow mascot hanging out and staring back from the darkness.

Is that referencing that James Woods episode of Family Guy? I convinced my best friend to play this game solely by mentioning that the alien antagonist and Trisha Takanawa read Juliet together. Didn't even need to hear what the game was about or that there were superpowers. She was just sold.

Once again, all you people who tossed aside the Bounce Rifle after the mission where you obtained it are missing out. It's been my go-to for most of the game so far. The game kind of tricks you into thinking it's less useful than it is, because the mission where you get it has lots of enemy vehicles. Bounce rifle is borderline useless against vehicles, but can sweep up HUGE swaths of on-foot enemies with just a few shots. Flashpoints and Virus Injection missions become an absolute breeze.

Also bounce guns basically ignore Marauder facing. Which makes it more or less entirely tactically sound to set aside the Abduct-O-Matic for the DUBSTEP GUN  Might want to bring along something for <DESTRUCTOR>s, though. Like explosives. Or popping the turret man and just jacking the drat thing.

My character hasn't transformed into a moveable toilet yet like in 3, but I was really glad that I could pick up the bodies of guys dressed up in hot dog costumes with my mind and fling them into buildings during the tutorial for Telekinesis.

The toilet is a selectable costume at Let's Pretend. It's either under Suits or Outfits. Same goes for the sex doll and wireframe Boss from deckers.die

Joining the History of the Boss party: SR 2:  Look at that pale stick. Geez, what was I thinking? SR 3:  The Boss actually looks human now. Bumped his head somewhere, though. SR 4:  Started him out pretty much the same, but moved the bandage from the forehead to the cheek (From Kinzie punching him, I guess). Was going to probably keep him like that the entire game, but when everyone else started to get new costumes...  ...The Boss knew he had to dress for war. Can't really tell, but he also has the Modern Soldier backpack. For those curious, that's a recolored Luchador Soldier outfit, courtesy of IdolNinja's "Customize any Vehicle Plus Wardrobe Color Changer" mod!

I'm kinda scared to start my next mission. I've been doing the loyalty missions but the next one under quest says "It's time to end this one and for call" and it's called The Kinzie Gambit. How far down the quest area am I? I just wanna know if there's a lot of missions left, or a few, or if this is basically the end.

My favorite use of the Dubstep Gun was providing a fanfare and laser light show for my co-op buddy whenever he was doing the QTE finisher on a Warden. After the first time I did it there was pretty much just an unspoken agreement that that's what had to happen every time we ever saw a Warden from then on.

Xenocidebot posted:That's more or less what I'd want following SR4, with the "more surface area" coming from vertical stuff. With a few exceptions you don't really need to climb Fake Steelport at all, which sucks, because it's a lot of fun to do. I'd kill for a game full of towers with missions and activities involving lots of 3D movement. Doesn't even need to be a Saints Row game- would prefer they put the franchise on a back burner and tried a new IP based on the mechanics they've worked out like telekinesis and wall running instead of a Saints Row 5. You should look into the Prototype games, they're a bit wonky but a blast to just dick around in. I haven't actually played SR4 but from what I've seen the powers are heavily influenced by Prototype's, especially wrt movement.

Can anyone nail down which upgrade turns the sprinting wake into complete bullshit? Sometime around when I hit 50 it changed from cork screwing vehicles around me through the air to just popping them straight up into the air at high velocity. This winds up being a major pain in the rear end, because if theres a roof above the vehicles or the physics engine decides it hates me, the vehicle will pancake into that ceiling or the ground, combusting and setting me on fire, which drops me out of super sprint. This has actually caused me to fail gold on a few different challenges, and is annoying in general. Uncoincidentally I'm also displeased that fire 4 doesn't provide immunity to catching fire, just the damage.

I think Jane Valderama or whatever her name is, is supposed to be a Connie Chung parody. It's pretty drat spot on if my memory serves me, but I could be wrong. As much fun as SR4 is, it still cannot hold a candle to the design of Stillwater. The biggest flaw with Steelport is the overall sameyness of the city, aside from the city center. Stillwater had so many different areas, from the U-District to the industrial Docks area. My favorite parts of Stillwater were the Air and Space Museum and the University. Plus, Steelport dosen't seem to have a single parking garage to do sweet jumps off of. Oh and baby sea monsters, and the creepy camp ares, and the Nuke Plant island, and so many other secrets that I feel like bootin SR2 up and having a wander.

One thing about Prototype is that it has lockon-based targeting, a relic of an earlier time of 3d action games. I finally upgraded the dubstep gun, it now rocks the world.

Is there a chance with modding stuff that we'll be able to add either additional songs to existing radio stations, or additional radio stations? It'd be really cool to get all the music from 1, 2, and 3 added to the appropriate stations in 4 just to bring it all together. Or if adding to existing stations isn't possible, just outright porting the stations from 1, 2, and 3 over to 4 as different 'instances' of each station would be fine too. I've got a ton of sidequests to do and things to collect now that I've finished the story but I'd love to have some more music to do that stuff to.

Maybe its me, but I'm finding all the activities way easier in SR4 than previous games, so much so, that I've not even finished my first playthrough and I've done over 95% of them, I'm just glad the bullshit ones like Escort and Snatch are gone. It could be that I'm content to just get a bronze or silver medal, I see no point to go for gold on things, unless its something like Mech Mayhem.

It isn't just you. The side missions in this game are really easy. I got gold on my first try for the majority of them, with a few silvers here and there, and none of them felt particularly tough while doing them. Meanwhile you have something like SR2 Snatch that just wants to stomp all over your balls and never stop.

Had my first game-breaking bug just now. I finished an activity on the exact threshold between gold and not gold (the mission end timer says 2:29, but I was on 2:30 when it faded out), and this happened: No '[Enter] Continue' option. No menus. Can't pause. my dude's just there dancin' like a fool forever.
