Re: Saints Row: The Third
According the the Kmart Gamer blog they will not have the pre-order content codes included with their copies. I still think I'm going to get it from there despite that because of the buy 1 get 1 half off with Assassins Creed Revelations and Saints Row The Third both being in that list.

For anyone who preordered off of Green Man Gaming, the keys are out now. Check your email. Will pre-load when I get home and start playing a 9 tonight!

Re: Saints Row: The Third
Let us know how it is.
My ore-order shipped from Amazon
I was also going to do the K-Mart route but wanted the pre-order bonuses.
Now to try and find time between this, Skyrim, and probably Assassins Creed. Might have to hold off on the Creed.

Played for about an hour. It's fun, though admittedly dumb fun. You do a lot of cool things in the. First few missions that keeps things interesting. Couldn't figure how to download my character but uploaded someones incredible Gordon Freeman instead.

Decided (it was tough) to not pre-order.....prob will miss the human cannon but hopefully it can be bought at a later date - gonna pick this up today - look forward to it - an 88 on metacritic is pretty damn high.

Re: Saints Row: The Third
So has anyone else been able to integrate their Initiation Station character into their game? It's annoying since I can see my guy once I log into www.saintsrow.com with my account, but there's no way to add him to my download queue and there's no search feature (as far as I can tell) in the community site. Terrible implementation of a really cool concept.
In either case, playing as Gordon Freeman is pretty sweet in its own right.
edit: I figured it out and it's incredibly difficult to find and upload your character even though he's right there in your My Steelport section of the website. I checked the FAQs and found out how to do it. Basically, you have to tag your character with something semi-unique and then use a modified form of their url provided below to search for that tag. Then you can find your character online. Maybe.
Beyond stupid. Anyway, if someone wants the nitty-gritty of this, I've copied the FAQs that explain it all below.

I'm sad. Mine barely shipped from Newegg today, from California. Probably be Thursday, at the earliest, before I get it.
'm loving the commercial that's been playing on tv. Soo looking forward to some good sandbox fun.

Re: Saints Row: The Third
So are you talking about the truck that sucks up pedestrians and shoots them out of the cannon? Man!?! I really liked that idea, and they showed it in the demos from E3, etc... and never mentioned that it was exclusive pre-order content! I would have pre-ordered it if I had known.

Re: Saints Row: The Third
Anyway, SR3 looks awesome and I'm hoping I get to pick it up by Thursday or Friday so I can tackle it over the weekend.

I didn't get my code from Green Man Gaming. Maybe they dropped the ball on that one. I'm sure they'll come through and in Amazon's case will probably give you a nice bonus as well.

Re: Saints Row: The Third
Anyhow, after playing the first few missions (which are basically the ones we saw in the clips a month or two ago), I am not impressed with the game.
The driving sucks.
The music is too low (even at max audio volume).
The songs suck. Only one station (The Mix) has stuff I know and would care to listen to.
The guns and gunplay suck. No auto targeting, but the manual sucks just as bad.
The Professor Genki pack isn't is cool as it's made out to be.
Now granted it's early, and I said Rage sucked in the beginning too before I liked it. So we'll see.
But so far I'd give it a 6.5/10. I'm going back to Skyrim.

Well, you're wrong.
Once I realized that the voice I picked for my dude is the voice of Archer, it became THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME.

Re: Saints Row: The Third
I picked this up yesterday after never playing a SR game before. I played for about an hour and listed it on Amazon.
It's just too over the top and cartoonish for my tastes, plus it feels like an arcade game to me which is not a plus. I'll admit I'm a GTA guy but I was up for something a little less realistic, but this is like polar opposite.
Sounds like this is a good one for those who already like the series though.

Re: Saints Row: The Third
You damn non-techincal people who can't get your character uploaded (jk) - after you upload it to your saints row account from your initiation station - logon to saintsrow.com -> under your account go to the "uploads" section -> click on "your created characters" (click the picture) -> then on the next screen you have to hit the "add to queue" button on the right.
Also, when you first go into your character creation in the game.....it takes a little bit for your created character to appear so just let it sit.
I played through the first 4 missions last night -> I am somewhat let down by this game as pretty much NOTHING control wise has changed from the second one - the driving is pretty brutal in this game and as a player that likes to move the camera around when driving....it's f'n seizure city. Still though, the graphics are much improved over the other two and I have laughed once or twice so far while playing. Another thing as well.....when the cops are after you....you can actually hide - very cool.
The game is suppose to become even crazier as you go along and I won't lie...as initially unimpressed as I originally am......I can see myself really getting addicted -> one last thing, it's horrible that so far, there is absolutely nothing to do in the cribs you end up obtaining - so far anyway that's what I'm noticing.
EDIT: Did anyone else catch the Nkko Bellic character someone created to use in game? It looks great.

Re: Saints Row: The Third
That Add To Queue choice wasn't there before on your created character. Obviously, that makes it a LOT easier!
