Re: Saints row discussion

Definately go for it Dookie... it's an amazing game, and I'm having a blast just riding around doing crazy stuff.

Dookie, the online is great and a lot of fun. Depending on who you play with. The one thing I noticed though is that the cars lag online. If you play a map with no ccars you should be fine.

Re: Saints row discussion

If you want to hold up a clerk at a store, for example, just stand there holding your gun. Eventually your character will hold it up and the screen will tell you that you've initiated a hold up.

I should warn you though... it seems the stores close and you can't go back once you do this... (it's still fun though, haha)

On a side note: a few reviews I read said this game's attempt at humor was poor. Maybe it's just me, but I've found a lot of the dialogue and "extra stuff" funny as hell.

This game really is great.

Re: Saints row discussion

Is there a cohesive story to the game like in GTA, or do you just ride around doing missions? Also, are there radio stations in the car that you can listen to while just riding around exploring?

Yes, and yes. The radio stations have dj's who introduce the songs, commercials, etc.

I was listening to Bubba the Love Sponge yesterday on Sirius and he says he is in the game as a jock as well. I finally found the station he was on and listened for a bit. I'm glad to see they got real shock jocks to be in it as well.

Re: Saints row discussion

there are just a lot of little things that make this game nice. For example, it was night and i saw one of the shops, so i kicked in the door only to realize it was closed and i had set off the alarm. I then wandered around a bit and found the safe. I then picked the lock to the safe but took so much time that the cops arrived and i ended up in a shootout before getting the package over to the pawn shop.

Anyway, two questions.
1. how do you pick locks? I did it, but moreso on accident and it took me forever to accomplish.
2. when you do get the loot, i couldn't seem to get in a car while holding the package. I ended up having to walk all the way to the pawn shop which was quite far away. Am i doing something wrong? Seemed that i couldn't do anything but drop the package and pick it back up. No way to get in a car with the package?

I had the same problem as you with number 2, but to answer your first question:

Once you perform the correct rotation with your left thumb-stick, you have to hold it at its completion spot to begin the next rotation... essentially it all flows together as one big sequence.

Ex: If the first stick movement tells you to do a half-circle, counter-clockwise from the left, once you get to the right, you have to hold the stick in that position or the next movement will be cancelled and you'll have to start over.

Hopefully that makes SOME sense...

Re: Saints row discussion

I know both games are completely diff, but if you had to choose, Saints Row or Oblivion?

I picked up Oblivion couple of weeks ago but im just not feeling it. Ive tried 2-3 times and im just not getting into it.

What im getting at is i had to decide between Oblivion or Saints Row. (only have enough money for 1).

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Same. EB which is like 3 mins from my house only had preorders left, but Gamestop had some in stock still.

Re: Saints row discussion

Did you play the demo and is the retail version much more polished and well put together? The game has always been of interest but the demo somewhat turned me off to the game.

I did play the demo, and liked it, but it was very limited. The game is great, at the beginning its a little choppy during the cut scenes, but cleans up nicely. I'd give it a shot, maybe spend the $7-$8 to rent it, then buy. Its a must buy for me, single player will take me awhile, then I'll jump online with it every so often. Solid game overall.
