What's the deal with having so many more data clusters than there are power upgrades?

So you aren't hosed if you aren't insane like me? Besides, there's only short of 200 too many in the game for all the upgrades, that's almost no leeway at all when there are over 1,000 of them right? :shepface:

At least the data clusters are easier to see than the orbs in Crackdown, it sucked when you only had 1 to find, and it was usually in an awkward corner of a giant skyscraper.

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. :allears:

As with Saints Row 3, when the game breaks horribly (which thankfully was rare for me) it usually happens in a way that is loving hilarious.

Don't worry, there is a very serviceable collectables locator sidequest upgrade (Icons are dim when you are not at the same height area as them). It even puts them on the big map. Just remember that it it looks like you can't find everything, A) zoom out too far they won't show. B) More Audio logs show up late game. But you can do every collectible before beating the game. One Orb is a bit of a bitch wedged behind some grills on a billboard, before you realize you Ice/Fire blast it and they float down to you.

All things considered, the collectibles were not that bad. But for looking back and realizing "Oh god, I collected THAT many orbs".

EDIT: vvv You may want to set the map to ONLY collectibles when you seriously go hunting. Some of them are very close to Distractions and store icons.

If you're willing to take it a bit slower, Bring a Xor to get in some Alien vehichle distance in. Even with the realization the Void UFO counts as distance... That's still a LOT of distance.

Hence why the said if they are going to make a 5, it's going to be a reboot.

Then I hope they make a "4.5" DLC where all the missions revolve around them doing all the cool time-travel paradox poo poo that's hinted at in the 'postcards' being shown during the scripts.

Also, the "America" gun with infinite ammo is pretty much both the best and worst thing ever. Best as in leaving it on permanently occasionally fucks the sound engine producing an ungodly ear-loving roar that only goes away when you depress the mouse button, and the worst thing because it kills bosses so loving quickly when it's maxed out that they don't have adequate time to monologue. I swear, in the mission to kill Maero I quite literally killed him before he could get his first sentence of dialog out.

Speaking of which, was anyone kind of taken aback at how different Maero sounds in the game? I know Michael Dorn probably hasn't done his deep, Worf-esque voice in some years now but he sounds remarkably different.

Anyone have any advice on improving the framerate in VR Steelport? My computer is lagging a bit behind these days, but it's still well within the minimum specs, and right now the game is nigh unplayable if I point the camera towards the center of the city. I can still get through missions and complete activities, but it's a serious bother.

Well gently caress me, that was solid fun from start to finish. Did start to crash a few times toward the end, but only 5 or so times during my entire playthrough, which ended on 78% completion.

Might actually play this through again later with one of the different voice sets.

My biggest beef is that the only boss I actually felt challenged by was the last one. I also know that no one forced me to use them, but once you get the 'no more stamina needed' upgrade, it's more or less a license to never fear anything ever again. Where were the roadblocks that could actually be somewhat dangerous in 1-3? Why weren't those power-depletion fields used more tactically?

I had fun, it just all seemed way too easy. You shouldn't be able to max out the wanted bars and not have to worry about anything. I died a grand total of twice my entire play-through, and both of those times were freakish occurrences, not because I'd stretched myself too thin or played poorly. I don't even know why they included the ability to even enter cheat codes this time around, because after a while you're more or less cheating by default. Even the missions based in reality seemed rather simple.

And even though it locked my game the first time I tried it, I want to gender-change my character just to see if it appreciably changes the "hey, wanna gently caress" dialogs.

I think the Genki activity in this game is much less enjoyable than Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax. It's also really frustrating to get a Gold on. I'm always a full area behind by the time it gets to Silver, and I don't think I'm going slowly at all.

Regarding your first question.

Did you not play SR2? Gat was thrown into prison because of Troy. And he was about to put on deathrow.

But not really. Gat tried to kill Troy right after the explosion, because Troy "killed" the gang. Wasn't till 2 Gat learned it was Julius not Troy who betrayed them.

Gat only went to jail for attempted murder on Troy. And as soon as Troy became Chief of Police, he kept Gat in the best digs he could, and postponed the deathrow case as long as he could.

Yeah some of the superpowers are pretty gamebreaking to the point of silliness (Ice Blast with exploding effect makes any of the Virus Injection runs piss easy), and I never really needed to call in homies at all, I just did sometimes to hear the dialogue. Silliness and over the top is what they were aiming for with this one though - the one thing I'd suggest to anyone going in is to expect Prototype, not GTA, because that's what you're going to be getting a good 90% of the game. Kinda wished there were more "no superpower" missions.

That said, I played through on the standard difficulty, not sure if hard changes things up at all or just does the usual "more health for enemies, more damage to you" trope.

The thing that made virus injections piss easy was adding any kind of elevation above where the enemies would come from - most of the time very few of them would have guns, which meant you could just stand on top of a building and shoot them until the kill count was satisfied. The ones where portals would spew countless Genkis out were just sad, since they'd all just stand there and wait to die because the AI offered them no way to damage you since they didn't have a ranged attack, and they couldn't get to you. There were a few times when a portal would pop up on an adjacent rooftop and I'd get shot at, but it'd never be a direct threat.

The Zin leave a loophole in where you and your buddies can get superpowers while they're plugged in, but their grand retaliation is they give some of their soldiers 'supression grenades' they rarely ever use, and stop short at only giving the Wardens and a few black-jacketed soldiers the ability to power-jump. I also seem to remember the errant Genki having a pretty annoying 'stomp' ability but I ran into them maybe five times randomly throughout the game.

I don't like them much but still more than SERC in SR3, which really didn't do much for me.

That probably happens with most of the weapons when fully upgraded. Happened to me with both the semi-automatic shotgun and the light SMGs when doing optionals late in the game.

Edit:
I just started replaying after getting 99% completion to try a different voice in the main story, and I have hit an odd glitch that didn't happen before. During the first mission in Steelport, 3 out of 4 times when I high jacked a car it just disappeared around me. And then the game crashed, of course.

I got up to the part in the final mission where you are in the real world, and then it crashes. And of course, no mid mission saving :|

Have you tried my fix with regards to overclocking your graphics card? I had the same problem as you, but once I pushed the voltage up and turned off AA, I can play for hours with no issues.

I'm kind of having the same issue. I get 70+ fps whenever I'm looking straight down or straight up, but whenever I look forward in the city or when driving I get like 20 or less fps. Some of the crazier combat situations chug even more. This is all on pretty much the lowest of low settings. I'm well into the recommended specs, so I don't know why I'm getting this issue.

I'm still having a blast though, I'd just like to find out what is causing all of this.
