Asha's missions are the worst, and as a character she is, at best, completely unnecessary. The game would be better if she weren't in it.

Also, the thing with your character getting replaced by a completely generic version is dumb an makes no sense, and the boss is totally justified in his interpretation of her greatest fear. If it's not about him, why is it an evil version of him? The whole thing is dumb.

In SR2 you put nuclear material in Maero's tattoo ink AND you made him crush his girlfriend with a monster truck.

Cyrus Temple references this scene in SR3. I actually liked how dark SR2 could get sometimes.

I should note, the Boss killed Maero's girlfriend because she put out a hit on Carlos, the guy who busts you out of prison at the start of SR2 and basically the first member of the New Saints. She has him chained to the back of a truck and dragged around the docks for a while.

https://youtu.be/pOYh5MziFKU

Also Maero's a dick but all the homies have short conversations with all the other homies, so I think it's interesting just from a character/story perspective, there are some neat little gems buried in there.

Also I'm impressed that you two do as well as you do in co-op, SRIV is not a particularly stable game at the best of times and is clearly resisting your teamwork at every turn.

I'm sure you probably figured it out by now after that video. But in Saints 4 during free roam, holding down on the D-pad will copy your stolen vehicle into your garage list. (Which also works for stolen copters and planes). So you don't have to bring it all the way to a Rimjobs to save it.

Super :argh: that all my attempts at stealing SWAT APCs and turret sporting Humvees during missions are thwarted by either impenetrable door locks and windows. I know there are better vehicles, but I think those are cool and it's my biggest pet peeve about how immediately wanted levels override everything with the same old Zin vehicles. Even if I have a soft spot for the turret mounted version of their hover car.... Which has the same name as the one without it...

God I wish calling up a ride on your phone had pictures. "Okay, which one of these identical names is the one I customized/one with a gun/etc?"

Don't feel bad about missing it. It's one of those "Blink and you miss it" prompts. I think the only other way to get a clue it is there is if you examine the D-pad controls screen and see that driving controls lists the down arrow as "Scan current vehicle"... But why would you look there unless you wanted to change your controls :v:

Which is why I brought it up in the first place, after seeing your trash truck tragedy (Trashgedy?)

Also, while lacking in body mods, you can make performance upgrades and color edits to the Trash trucks. (And the gateways can do rimjobs vehicle edits).

If you are not done recording for the game, pretty please find and upgrade a "Pulse". It is that three wheeler that you often see mascots driving, and can take a second passenger like most motorbikes.

A motorbike, that can POWER SLIDE not very well, but it can

This episode, and the warden fight in particular, remind me why despite how cool they are I've never been a fan of most of the charge up to fire weapons. It is incredibly frustrating to freeze one and then have them hop out of the way right before you fire (Which happens even solo).

But on stuff it one shots, the Disintegrator is still so much fun :allears:

As for the crusher ball destruction game. I too, thought about simply holding the ball and rubbing it against scenery. But it seems that the ball only racks up SICK COMBOS whole it's out of your grasp. So throwing it at cars, or just letting it gently roll across a scatter of objects got me WAY better results than holding onto it.

Also, hack all the gun stores and unique clothing stores first if you haven't finished hacking. The difficulty scales with how many things you have already hacked, and it's much less frustrating to botch it on a tatoo place, rimjobs, or the millionth's planet Zin.

EDIT: Watching the 180 of opinions on the Cat and Mouse game you two had was great.

You can still rack up large combos by running with the ball in front of you, but without the upgrade that makes you fireproof you'll constantly get interrupted.

You could not be more wrong. Grab the ball and run along the footpath and you'll gold TK Mayhem in about ten seconds. It helps to know what's smashable and what isn't, but even without that you have about ten times as long as you need.

There's really only one hacking puzzle in the entire game that's even slightly challenging though, so it's not an issue. And if you're really no good at that sort of puzzle, you can buy upgrades to give you more time.

Huh, go figure. I always had a rough time just trying to run through scenery holding the ball racking up much in the way of big combos. While throwing it at cars until they exploded, or just letting it roll along on it's own would get me way bigger max combos than I would just ramming it into the very same objects/cars/etc.

Maybe I just wasn't rubbing it through fences and newspaper machines vigorously enough?

This comes from Grace and I being gigantic losers. "Popping" is what pandas do when they get all excited and zoomie, and Hokuto is a panda who pops a lot because he's a sweet baby happy boy. Here's an example

Let's Play Saints Row XV Episode 1 - Versed in Xenos

We were originally taking the night off and just watching DBZ because we average sometimes one night together a week, but then Kissanime went down, so we decided to play a lesser known DLC of Saints Row IV with a kinda confusing but welcomed crossover. Sadly the DLC is single player only. Also these episodes are all threadcanon, so you guys figure that one out.

If you're itching for more content from us, considering it's been a long-rear end time and I'm a garbage person, while I was in the states, we played Super Smash Bros Wiiu and Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival with Grace's brother! Also I'm terrible at smash don't even give me advice there's no helping.
