It's still fun to rampage around in various vehicles, especially with the nitro upgrade, but other than funhaving, no there's no point.

Ok, the Shaundi SR2 Playboy image has now come up at least twice, front and centre. In SR3 they had to it in one of the hideouts next to a purple rubber dildo 0_oPrism Mirror Lens posted:This is my biggest complaint about the writing in 3 and 4 - the Boss in 2 is pretty much an inscrutable madman who greets everything with psychopathic glee, but in 3 and 4 he spends a lot of time bitching about things going wrong and having to get shot at. Your character in a game like this should never be complaining about having to do more gameplay, no matter how much sense it would make for him to do, because its alienating for the player. I do like how Brit voice calls Kinzie, and only Kinzie, "love" though AllisonByProxy posted:Idolninja is all over this mod focused trailer they just put out!

In SRTT I did BaileyBoss and liked most her delivery throughout the game, especially during Tiger Escort or during Zimos' rescue mission. I used Southern Female voice in SR2 and made my character look like Rogue. The Southern voice in IV sounds way too dainty compared to 2 so I just stuck with Bailey for consistency's sake.

I just beat the game and was wandering around Steelport looking for audio logs when I found something minor but fun: way on the west/northwestish side of the map, along the beach in a big grassy field, peds will drive ATVs around off-roading. One passed by me and shouted "Can't forget the pickles!"

Klyith posted:Woosh. Seriously, it's getting a little crazy. Yes, a large section of the game is devoted to parodying Mass Effect, but not everything that is true about this game that also happens to be true of Mass Effect happens to be a Mass Effect reference. Romances? Yes. Jumping from an alien landing platform into the arms of Keith David? Yes. Film grain and camera angles? gently caress no. Some people are too drat dedicated to finding connections in this game. Try taking a step back and consider something else. How about the movie Spaceballs? It's a direct parody of Star Wars, from the characters to the plot to the plot device settings. Virtually everything in the film is a reference to something from Star Wars. But the fact that Spaceballs was filmed with a Panavision brand camera is not a reference to the fact that Star Wars was also filmed with a Panavision camera. And so too is the fact that there's a film-grain effect in Saints Row IV, and the fact that the game uses the same confined-indoor-area camera angle it uses in stores when you are on the ship.

I feel really dumb that it took me like 3 playthroughs to notice that once you sidequest yourself the Collectable Radar, you can open up the main map and make it display statues and audio logs  I thought it only worked for the minimap, not the world map. Welp.

I miss the "it's just like my dream!" ped quote from 2 when you start wrecking poo poo. You dreamt about an agendered Cockney in a hotdog suit doing a suicide jump out of a plane onto your friend's head and handstand-surfing away on a police car? Seek therapy.

I hope they're a bit more inventive in the DLC about your powers. It's probably hard to balance but too many of the missions in the main game had you powerless and using the now really basic combat abilities of the boss. At least throw some grenades and faster regenerating health in for those sections.

I've beaten the game twice now (yes, all of the side missions and everything) and I still have yet to see the CID outfit. It says it's in my gateway wardrobe, but that is patently false. What gives?

It's an "outfit" in the same way the Super Outfits for your other homies are outfits. They're not necessarily outfits for you.

I think you have to purchase it at a clothing store if it doesn't show up in your wardrobe automatically. I'd look under Outfits before Suits.

It should be in your wardrobe automatically under Suits, not Outfits as it's not made up of individual pieces (which Outfits are). It can also be purchased at stores after that which I think lets you recolor it.

I can't believe I went the whole game without going to "Nobody Loves Me". It's the best clothing store. (For the record, my main outfits: A Dr. Who inspired, golden April O'Neil raincoat with suit, tie and sunglasses; a yellow and green, red haired Jean Gray superhero costume; various suits; and the Fleur De Lis purple-with-gold PJs.)

Why are there only one each of the non-Planet clothes shops, anyway? If this was your first SR game it would be possible to think that there was only one kind of clothing store in the game.

This is exactly why I want it, nude fat man with Hitler stache and Nolan North voice just isn't doing it for me when I'm trying to Presidentially rectify the populace. edit: third playthrough as a lady and all of a sudden the game crashes every time I start Matt Miller's rescue mission, pretty much as soon as you start shooting stuff as a tank.
