Re: Saints Row: The Third

Got to play a bit last night. Finished the Kill Bane mission where he's doing the TV interview, and went around buying every building that I could afford. I like the STAG SUV with the massive gun on top. I still haven't picked up a tank of any kind though. I need to piss off the cops and get a STAG tank into one of my garages.

When you're getting attacked by STAG SUVs, just start shotgunning the front ends of the vehicles and eventually they'll explode. Not long after that, they'll send in tanks.

I think you eventually unlock a tank anyway.

Re: Saints Row: The Third

I finished it earlier today. Kind of a lame ending. I didn't go for the alternate one, had no desire to play the level again.

I was confused as to when the main character said at the end that
Spoiler:
they'll need a new mayor. Was Burt Renoylds killed?


Anyhow, I'll probably trade it in. I don't really have any interest in the DLC (maybe later), and I have Skyrim, WWE 12, and possibly Assassin's Creed to keep me busy.

It was more fun than I gave it credit for.

Re: Saints Row: The Third

And yeah, if that's the ending you got, you REALLY need to play the other one.

Re: Saints Row: The Third

Are you guys talking about
Spoiler:
Gangsta's in Space?
I thought that was the worser ending.

Re: Saints Row: The Third

The only part of the game that I did not like at all were the Tron bike challenges, especially the one on the hardest level.

Okay, I'll try the other ending.

Oh and I thought the bike challenges were easy. Stupid and pointless, but easy.

Re: Saints Row: The Third

So with the Gang Activity locations... what is the deal? I hit one this morning and took out all of the people plus 2 cars that were at the location with 3 shots from a rocket launcher. No other gang members showed up before the original group was dead and it didn't clear it for me. I got 4 stars and was hunted down by that gang and killed. I went back with the hover-jet to the same location, hit everyone with a single launch of rockets, and it cleared it. Do you have to take out the whole bunch with one shot? What is the criteria for clearing these gang activity locations?

You just have to wipe out everyone with a health circle over their head. Sometimes one or two of the targets hide (or gets stuck behind an object).

I would wipe out everyone but sometimes the game would glitch and I'd have to do it again.

Agreed. Very easy. Not totally pointless because driving the Tron bike around town is pretty fun.

Re: Saints Row: The Third

I got 100% on this game. I got all the achievements except for the challenges. I am done. It's on Amazon if anyone wants to buy it.

Re: Saints Row: The Third

When do you unlock the hoverbike? I think that is the only goal that I have left... everything else has started to get kind of boring for me... we'll see, but this game might hit the trade pile soon. Too bad since I traded in around 8 other games at Best Buy to get enough credit for this one (including one that I should have sold on eBay for 4x what I got in BB credit for it!)

Re: Saints Row: The Third

Actually it looks like I'm almost there. I just need to get through the die.deckers mission and the next one is the aircraft carrier which is where you get the hover bike or so I've heard.

How does one acquire a helicopter for my high rise pad?

Re: Saints Row: The Third

There's a mission where you sit in a helicopter and shoot at stuff. It's actually fairly early in the game. After that mission that helicopter is added to your helipad. There's a second helicopter in a mission a bit later in the game that you can get, as well as the VTOL jet. Watch for S.T.A.G. to start showing up in missions and you should already have the helicopter and should be close to the jet.

Also, I haven't explored it much, but you might be able to snatch one at the airport... but again, I'm not sure on that.

You can get the skycrane and a smaller chopper called a Thompson which looks like the Bell 47. They are on adjacent, elevated helipads along one of the runways.

I finally got past the die.deckers mission! I couldn't get through it to save my life so I ended up running around the city getting enough money to upgrade my health as much as I could, then went back into the mission and was able to get through it in just one try. All I needed was a little health!
