It looks like the Xor is actually slower than the Assert, which is slower than the Void. Oh well. You can't use a Void to play chicken in the tunnels.

So the Blazin activity on the East island lost all my medals and now hardlocks the game whenever I start it. Good job on putting out a game more broken than anything Bethesda's ever released

As soon as that was offered as an option I practically lept through the door. He didn't even have time to finish monologing. I love making obviously terrible decisions in videogames--I abandoned Batman in Arkham City too.

I seem to remember being unable to play the second DLC for New Vegas for two weeks after it's release, and when they finally did fix it you had to start a new game in order to access it because of some weirdness with the save files. Also, rabid flying dogs. Aside from the broken patch (during which I didn't play), I've only had one crash in like 30 hours of playing Saints Row 4.

Wolfsheim posted:With all this talk of secret vehicles, is it possible to get a regular VTOL again, or any of the army vehicles? I know that tanks/etc show up during Mayhem activities and STAG equipment shows up in a certain somebody's loyalty mission, but you can't save vehicles during either of those. IdolNinja's cheats mod has codes for a ton of SR3 vehicles, including the preorder Saints VTOL. They're all still in the game.

During certain activities (such as mayhem and blazin) a set of little greyed out boxes will come up on the left-center side of the screen. What the heck are these things? There's no indication of what they do, and my co-op partner and I can't figure it out and no amount of Googling is giving an answer.

Pierce is definitely broken for me, I've gone back to before I ever recruited him and even to earlier saves on my other character who successfully did all of his content and initiating or completing his side quests is impossible because the game thinks he's unavailable even though he's sitting right there on the couch. I'm only going to miss out on the Inflato Ray which I never really use but I still want to have a full arsenal drat it.

Bovineicide posted:So the Blazin activity on the East island lost all my medals and now hardlocks the game whenever I start it. Good job on putting out a game more broken than anything Bethesda's ever released The only two bugs I had during my play through was the menu breaking when I was trying to upgrade my stomp power while inside of a Fight Club and the game hardlocking while trying to steal a virused motorcycle for Shaundi. Both I was able to alt + tab out of, however. I even played after the patch that apparently broke everything without issue, so I guess I got REALLY lucky. I haven't loaded the game since I beat it on Tuesday though.

Verifying it came back with nothing before, but brute forcing it eventually fixed it. Now I have to do all of those again despite having the rewards for getting gold before  The game was pretty stable before they decided to upload the wrong patch to Steam, which I'm fairly certain even Bethesda hasn't done that before. This whole thing makes me wish Steam had a real patch certification process.

Anyone playing on the One True Platform (PC) can make the alien vehicle distance challenge and any other challenge as easy or hard as they want. The presets in that mod are very easy: 6,561, easy: 22,965, medium: 45,931, hard: 65,616 feet but you can open that file in a text editor and ctr+f for 'alien veh travel dist' and set the goal to whatever (in meters). Looks like all the other challenge goals can be modified in there as well.

I'm sure it's been said before, but getting gold on Hard M.O.M. is loving horseshit, no matter how quickly and efficiently I move around tossing poo poo through the hoops, It always ticks over to silver while I'm on my way to the last location. I got Gold on most of the rifts on my first try, and definitely got gold on the TK rifts the first time, but getting gold on hard M.O.M. is just tedious. I went into this game thinking I was gonna grab all the cheevos, but now I just don't care about it anymore. It's so, so not worth it. It's much more fun to just do... well, anything else SR4 has to offer.

Geomancing posted:I love how the quest to rescue Johnny Gat is titled 'The Very Next Day...'. When The Boys are Back in Town started playing during Gat's loyalty, a slow smile crept up onto my face  . When the characters talk about poo poo happening years ago, it's pretty meta, since the time frame is the same for people who've followed the series. Does anyone know about the behind-the-scenes decision making concerning Gat's death and return? Due to the THQ->Deep Silver transition, there was obviously some executive tomfoolery happening at a creative level. I want to know the post-SRTT decision making process that basically said "gently caress IT, he's back". I think that was one of those major stumbles of The Third, actually. The second cinematic, in the prison cell, Gat ruminates on the Saints' place in the world, their reputation and if they've fallen from grace (lol). I was preparing for the game to continue along some sort of commentary of the cost of celebrity, losing one's edge, or anything like that. But nope, not really. Anything attempting at even a hint of poignancy seems to have been cut after that initial bit, and it was all dildo bats, ham-fisted war on terror analogies, and luchadores. Speaking of which, I'm ecstatic they ditched Angel, Killbane, and the Luchadores. Even Zimos got a mention, but the entirety of that stupid rear end wrestling plot of the The Third was summed up during Gat's loyalty mission in a throw away line. I really disliked the Luchadores in the third. I thought they were out of place and too random, even for a game featuring all the poo poo it did. All the other gangs up to that point in the series, however cartoony, were based on some sort of real criminal organization. In SR1, the Westside Rollerz were based on illegal street racing gangs, the Los Carnales were Colombian Drug cartels, and the Vice Kings were based on L.A. based street gangs like the Bloods/Crips. The Sons of Samedi were a Caribbean drug cartel and blood cult, the Ronin were of the Yakuza, and the Brotherhood were tribal themed Hell's Angels. The Third featured the Morningstar, a trans-europe criminal syndicate (for the most part they were the Syndicate), the Deckers were a hacker collective. These all are easily placed in a game series about cartoony criminal gangs, because its about a half-step to the left to see where they drew the inspiration for these organizations. The Luchadores aren't based on the culture of any existing criminal enterprise whatsoever. Just by playing the game, I could figure out what the Morningstar and Deckers did as gangs, and where they operated from. I had to look up on a wiki what the Luchadore were responsible for. Nothing we actually see in game (gambling, gun running, and drug trafficking). Throw in the emphasis of Angel's fall-from-grace and the focus on Luchadore culture was an ugly spot for the game, and were completely shoe-horned in. I thought Killbane and Angel's overall involvement with the criminal underworld in Steelport was going to be revealed, and was going to go somewhere meaningful. Turns out, that if you removed Killbane, Angel, their story, and the luchadores from The Third, nothing of value would be lost. Have Loren escape his tower alive, have him send Morningstar assholes to gently caress with the Saints at Gat's Funeral for seizing his tower, have him murder Kiki as Killbane does when they threaten desertion, causing Viola to leave the Syndicate for revenge on Loren. STAG shows up as normal due to the destruction Loren ordered on the bridge, and the Saints are caught up in an all out war with STAG and the Syndicate. Any mission or cutscene featuring Killbane can easily be reworked to feature Loren instead. Replace any Angel content with Oleg helping you disrupt Morningstar activities in increasingly bizarre missions. Oleg could have been a former Morningstar lieutenant, had a falling out with Loren, who captured him and used his DNA to create the mosntrous Brutes. The plot culminates with STAG capturing your homies and Burt Reynolds while Loren flees in disgrace after Oleg almost kills him. You have to choose whether to go after Loren and finish the job, or go rescue your homies. In fact, who's idea was the Luchadores and Killbane? They were the worst thing about the storytelling of SRTT by a long margin. Losing them would strengthen the meandering plot that swaps a cool, suave villain for a stupid, random one.

Yeah, I got the army helicopter, but I want the VTOL! PS3 so no mods for me, either. Ironically, though, I haven't had all the bugs PC users seem to be experiencing even before the patch

He was basically Carlos 2.0. I think someone earlier in the thread mentioned how Daniel Dae Kim would get like 10 unique tweets a day asking why Gat wasn't in SRTT, so he went back to Volition and was like "Hey, if you do a SR4 you really need to put me back in". So in SRIV we get that "haha, you thought he was dead? gently caress that poo poo, this Gat don't die" best retcon ever.

Power by Kanye West was the song everyone associates with The Third, but looking at the lyrics, its quite obvious it straight up is SRIV's theme song. I’m living in that 21st Century, doin' something mean to it Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it I guess every superhero need his theme music Come on  No one man should have all that power The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours Stop tripping, I’m tripping off the power (21st-Century schizoid man) Sociopath, or Puckish Rogue? The system broken, the school is closed, the prison's open We ain’t got nothing to lose, motherfucker we rolling Huh?

Loren hardly makes a great main villain, to me. He never seemed like the perfectly calculating mastermind that he tried to act like, nor was he some brilliant and sinister and genuinely evil character like Zinyak, he was just some suave businessman chump who deserved to get absolutely steamrolled for underestimating the Saints in the way that he did. His death was satisfying, and I think putting it relatively early in the story created a good starting point for the Saint takeover of Steelport. Hell, even the other gang leaders become side characters after a certain point, which is part of why the canon ending leaves both Matt and Killbane alive. The main villains of SRTT become Cyrus and Kia from the first moment they appear. lesbian baphomet fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Aug 31, 2013 |
