also IIRC the areas where you get extra adrenaline tend to have more and more insane traffic making it easier to find vehicle targets

I always have terrible luck and spend so much time waiting for traffic to spawn and then running back and forth constantly missing the cars except for those few who slow down enough not to do anything. Even at the right areas. :downs:

Yeah. While I appreciate the theory of the minigame, in practice I always end up hating the goddamned thing. Especially if I want Gold :sigh: and that's with it being as easy as it has ever been in Saints 4, thanks to being able to launch yourself a mile with super powers.

Actually, last time I played I just did the first one with a helicopter, and that was the only one I didn't have wall-run for. And whether you miss clusters because you used a helicopter or because you jumped/ran straight past them, you can always make your way back down the tower to grab them. I usually end up missing a couple per tower even then though and come back to get them later with one of the small flying vehicles.

I really like the Zin hovercar with the turret on top. It's surprisingly nice, even if not being allowed to customize it means it will never be as tough as making a 3 wheeler Pulse with all the trimmings (Why do I love that stupid thing mostly seen ridden by mascots so much?).

Sadly, it's named the exact same way as the more common Assert's without a turret. And while you can see them at your hub garage screen, summoning vehicles with your phone gives no visual representation.

Which also makes it a bitch to track which thing is which if you've got more than one anything, or just forgot the name of which helicopter you liked :argh: "Okay. let's see. Oppressor, that's got to be a kickass helicopter right?... It's a completely unarmed normal helicopter. okay then."

Cool vehicle collection is also part of why I don't like how quick the Zin are to replace normal law enforcement. It makes it basically impossible to see cool stuff like swat vans and APCs, and I've always loved making it a point to steal a collection of those. Many times when they show up inside of missions, they are magcally locked so I can't steal them :sigh:

Not like there is a shortage of cool things, in and out of rides. But you all know how it goes with "But that one was my favorite!"

The rapid escalation of enemy types is one of this game's weakest points. Especially if you're trying to use some of the weapons you get later to go on a fun rampage. You run into marauders and murderbots almost instantly and then a warden shortly after.

The first 5 episodes were recorded back in August, these next 5 were in September. between those two sessions we both sorta forgot how to play :v: Episode 11 will be the first one that was actually recorded while this thread exists.

Also Nyteblade might not be an anime, but it's an anime at heart :colbert:

I don't use the DLC elements all that much, but I love the money Telekinesis because of how funny it is.

It acts like normal TK, except Instead of costing money, you slowly drain the pocket change from people with a fun satisfying sound effect. It could be confirmation bias, but I've noticed that civilians wearing business suits always have at least a thousand internet dollars.

Grace would probably be a huge fan of the Explosive Telekinesis. It turns people into ticking timebombs :buddy: so I'm expecting one of the upcoming episodes to have them realize it (and promptly throw an exploding civilian at Dan)

On a co-op question, do gang upgrades work? And if so, do revive timer buffs increase your own timer, or your co-op partner's?

I used that and the buff one a lot just because it's tedious trying to get enough cache to upgrade all the weapons you want. I can't imagine a reason to ever use the bling element for stomp or blast since it costs money instead of making it.

I'd use it if I just really, really didn't feel like putting up with a Warden right then. But since you need to use powers to bring down their shields too, even the bleedhthrough effects have never felt worth it compared to busting out even an upgraded shotgun.

Speaking of Wardens, I wonder if the blast duration upgrade is buggy. Because even with me getting back into the game recently, once I upgraded duration wardens went from a useful amount of time frozen, to breaking free super fast :sigh:

It's made using the alien rocket launcher (with upgrades) on wardens basically loving pointless, even if I freeze them first. Because they will invariably unfreeze super fast and dodge. When previously I could take my sweet loving time before I upgraded.

From what I remember, the Bling Blast has a comically fast recharge speed. But it doesn't matter because the elements you already get are fine and Explosion-Blast is about the most unfair thing you can throw into a fight.

I confess I love explosion blast, when most or all of your movement powers are upgraded it turns you into a human predator drone and it's glorious.

-Accidentally hurl Nyteblade into the stratosphere
-"You know what, just kill everyone!"
-Covering Nyteblade's car with plungers
-Viciously murder Matt Miller with a car
-Joyride Nyteblade's car into the harbour


Somehow these things don't work.
