Multiplat Saints Row: The Third

[Mancey]

That mission cut scene where you and your 2 homies do the slow motion walk towards the camera, all tooled up with weapons and shit...

I was wearing the green "steelport hero" superhero outfit. Was epic as shit.

What's everyones character look like? I went for a Furio Giunta lookalike with ponytail

My guy is solid gold!

This is my guy... the nameless Saint.

Completely 100% the game now. I have to play through again to get the glitched achievements otherwise I'd already have 1000GS.

 

[Burningleviathan]

I downloaded a guy who looks like Walt from Breaking Bad. Will design my own next time through.

 

[RoosterLad]

ep how did you do the Insurance Fraud activities? They are my biggest hurdle I think, it seems you need a fair slice of luck unless you have tips?

Also what are the glitched achievements?

I should have the 30 hr trophy but haven't got it yet for some reason, did switch to be a whore for 2 hours and got that trophy but no 30 hour one yet. I've played about 30:30 or thereabouts.

Find a busy road, like a highway when there is a lot of traffic around. Then just run at the cars that don't look like stopping. Ragdolling is a hit or miss thing, sometimes it seems better to do it, at others it doesn't. Also just keep your head on a swivel, as the traffic doesn't really 'flow', but just spawns about 80m away, so often a car will only take a few seconds to arrive.

They can be a bit tough, but make sure you go to the highlighted areas to get big points, sometimes you might have to jump in a car to get there quick

Best way to get big scores is to try to hit multiple cars while airborne. Generally pretty easy when in adrenaline mode. You can get massive multipliers this way.

Try and keep your adrenaline mode periods going for as long as possible by not leaving a long time between hits. Even a small one helps. Even if the timer runs out and you dont have enough coin, you can still keep scoring if in adrenaline mode.

I found them pretty simple, but i had honed my techniques from SR2. Heli assault was the toughest activity for me

Heh, thats how my guy started out. Looked exactly like his Heisenberg persona.

 

[ep2018]

Its a bit like frogger..... in adrenaline mode just get hit by a car then land in front of the same car and then land in front etc. You will rack up like 90k combos.

Heli Assault was the toughest activity. Then I found out its easier to pick the cars off one by one rather then to wait for the cars to come close to the target. Actually Guardian Angel might of been the hardest. I wouldnt know I purposely used my city takeover upgrades on the hard missions of GA.

Glitched achievements..... some story based achievements didnt unlock when I played through the game. Possibly because I wasnt connected to Live like the achievements for beating act 1.

 

[Hawks1523]

What I did was once adrenaline mode kicked in. I'd run into a car and just try to bounce off the roof of it, bouncing off it until i see another car then launch myself off toward that, and continue to try to keep doing that. Get some pretty huge combos from it. best when there are huge trucks coming.

Leshawn DeMichaels.

Just started tonight, took a bit of effort to upload Leshawn, no idea why it was giving me so many issues.

Going to go for a red theme throughout. Design wise I went for the rough and ready with a tinge of style.

Love that there's Astro headsets in the game, wearing Astro's while my character wears Astro's=MIND BLOWN! Plus it looks ****ing ridiculous.

 

[Jabso]

My guy is a fat guy with luxurious long green hair.

Also wears no pants usually.

 

[CrimsonButterfly]

I made Kim Kardashian.

However, I haven't done a whole lot of the story, I have mainly just played activities and mucked about.

 

[JADED]

I created guy first, then saw the sex appeal meter & created a chick.

People surfing, Saints Row style

SMACKDOWN!

My in game taunt, Karate Kid style.

The Genki mask. Free Genki pen, toy & DLC shit that came with my game (was same price as standard ed)

LOL @ Sex cave...might have to chuck SR2 in again just to scope it out.

Amazing how much of a graphical leap there's been from SR2 to SR3 though, SR3 looks way better overall. The only thing that really looked decent in SR2 was your character model and the water.

Playing much more of the game last night I got into some of the side missions, loved the insurance fraud stuff, my god is that hilarious. Some of the rides you can get if you time it right. I think I got about a $80k fall at one point.

Also gave the Professor Genki Super Ethical Fun Time challenges a go. Boy they get hard when the 'Hunters' are introduced. I want to take everyone out and with them popping up as soon as you kill one of them I just find myself dying all the time. I have a feeling that it might be something to take on when I have stronger weapons and more health though instead of so early in the game. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the fact that Hulk Hogan is a commentator and doesn't actually play to that fact.

 

[Mancey]

Pretty sure you use the same default guns in the genki challenges no matter when you do them. Usually start with a pistol and pick up whatever you can during the challenge.

Health upgrades might apply tho from memory

you need to get a g/f hbn00b

you need to get a g/f hbn00b

But I only want you.

 

[THRILLHO]

Okay, completely noob question time:

How do I redeem the online code to let me download SR:2? I go to redeem online code on the Playstation Store it comes up with the funtime pack, it downloads and installs and then...? I have no idea.

I need a step-by-step guide on how to do this.

 

[Kaan]

Fun time pack is the pre order DLC not online pass.

Online pass in on the back of the manual, once you claim and download this just search Saints Row 2 and it will let you get it for free.

Doh.

I knew it would be something simple like that but I was getting pretty frustrated and wasn't thinking straight.

Thanks mate.

 

[MarcusP2]

Any quick way to do the taunts challenge? Will get boring very quickly doing taunt - lose wanted - taunt - lose wanted 50 times.

 

[RoosterLad]

I just a taunt here and then while I was doing other challenges, assassinations etc. It's pretty easy to lose your wanted level on this game if you just hoon off after taunting.

If you see two gang members walking next to each other then run up behind them and taunt and you should get 2 for it.
