Finding Zin post game and 100% takeover for alien-specific kill challenges is some aggrivating bullshit. Beating up soldiers on the military base won't count, and the portals tend to spit out only two of those specialists at best.

Super Power Fight Club enemies count as aliens regardless of what model they're using.

Shatter Kills don't count for the Pounding the Pavement achievement, even off of a stomp, so stick to something other than freeze. I don't know if they count for I Am Become Death.

Also yeah I'm doing the same thing with the black hole gun. I tried that challenge like six times, could not get above silver to save my life. I've golded the TK mayhems the "right" way. I still don't know what I'm going to do about Mind Over Murder. I cannot gold that solo to save my life and I'd rather cheat than admit I can't do it without a co-op partner.

Mind over Murder has different time limits based on difficulty. Even for someone who barely managed Silver on the hard one at Normal, on Casual it was babytown frolics. Getting Gold on everything besides that and Super Power Fight Club is probably within the reach of a wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube man on Normal, if you learn stuff like racing lines and maybe come back to it in your full glory, but Super Power Fight Club - Medium Julius takes some planning even on Casual. PROTIP: Lightning Buff. Also a good place to grind up TK catches.

Saints Row has never cared about difficulty setting for the purpose of challenges or achievements.

If you need superpower kills, go to round two of the hard superpower fight club, all of those guys die in one hit to pretty much anything.

As for weapon kills, the military base soldiers counted for me for all weapons except the tentacle bat. Or at least they did for the in-game challenges, for some reason they don't count for achievements.

Superpower fight club is a lot of extra junk for a handful of kills until you can restart. If you could just use powers on another run at the final mission, that'd be more what I'm talking about, or redo those 'virus injection' minigames.

The military guys don't count as Zin kills for a few things I've noticed, like Experimental Technology. Plus as soon as you hit your second bar they vanish. Chasing that golden orb is a chore after the 50th time you've done it, especially if that son of a bitch hits a wide flat stretch.

'New Game +' would be great. They should've had something like that. Let us legally have the game broken.

Samurai Sanders posted:

Starting last night I'm having a somewhat serious problem that is either being caused by SR4 or SR4 is just a symptom (and if it is it's the only program effected). It's been hanging in various menus, and when I shut it down in the task manager, SR4 won't restart, so I restart my PC and when it comes back, my second drive (where SR4 is installed) doesn't show up to windows, or to window's partition manager. Shutting down the computer all the way and bringing it back solves it, but this has happened three times already. Any idea what could be going on? The drive is a SSD, if that matters.
Download CrystalDiskInfo and see if your SSD's SMART data shows any errors.

Regardless of whether it is or not, immediately backup anything on it you don't mind losing because it might be dying.

Beyond that, ask SHSC.

I don't like it when you're watching me eat.
Just over 50% of the way through this game and I'm running into something annoying. Cannot get my fire powers to trigger for the challenge. I can light enemies on fire, they can in turn light other enemies on fire, I have Blast fully upgraded, but my count for the challenge is still 0/10. All other powers/weapons/challenges track fine. I'm going to do a second playthrough, but if I don't have to redo all the work I've put in, that would be best. This is on 360. Any suggestions?

I believe that one is actually for another superpower that also has the fire element available to it. Yes it's confusing.

Eh, I already came to that tentative conclusion and pulled it out of my computer (it's a really old 64gb ssd that I threw into my new PC as a secondary just because I felt like it), we'll see if I have any more trouble.

Now I have to re-download SR4 for my main hard drive though. Oh well.

So far I am sold on Laura Bailey, Troy Baker, and the Brit voice. Male voice 2 ('generic black gangster'?) doesn't do anything for me, and the french female voice sounds like she's phoning it in...

I'm mostly completely on board with this assessment, but actually I kinda like Male Voice 2. He's like the only black man in Steelport with a voice as dorky/dorkier than Pierce, and when they hang out they're oddly a good mix. Goes well with a really skinny Pres, maybe with glasses. Bonus points if you make him any race but black. (Went with a twiggy white-haired asian with a pompadour on my second playthrough, and the other male voices just don't have the dweebiness required to pull it off.)

Also Nolan North's phoned in performance is almost worth it for him cutting loose during the Pierce loyalty mission.

He's largely the same as Troy Baker in terms of script, but there's enough unique lines that I'm finding Nolan North really entertaining. Like when Kinzie first tells you about the hub, he says "Can I play video games on this thing? Hah, I don't play video games. Can I get porn?"

Really, though, Laura Bailey is the best, and Troy Baker isn't far behind.
