Re: Saint's Row 2

I can't wait to get my pimp outfit on. It just looks so cool to be limping down the street shooting people with your pimp cane shotgun.

Saints Row 2: Activities and Respect

Activities

Activities are the fastest way for the player to earn respect in SR2. Throughout the city, several unsavory characters are looking for someone capable and tough to do their dirty work for them. The player visits these characters and agrees to perform certain tasks, which each have several levels of difficulty to provide long-term challenge over the course of the game.

SR2 features all the favorite activities from SR, plus several new activities, giving the player twice as many opportunities for over-the-top chaos. Some examples of available activities include:

• Fight Club -- Players step into the ring with hardened convicts and mixed martial artists as they slug your way to supremacy in a network of organized underground brawls. Would-be challengers can be finished off with a flourish to show that toughness doesn't require a gun, just a willingness to snap some bones.
  
• FUZZ -- Players are starring on a brand new TV reality show about the Stilwater PD. The cameraman is in need of exciting footage, the kind that only a gang member posing as an officer can provide. Nothing is out of bounds for the long arm of the law when the Saints get involved.
  
• Insurance Fraud -- The most popular activity from SR returns, once again allowing players to throw themselves in harm's way by literally playing in traffic. The new adrenaline mode allows for extra spectacular pedestrian-on-car collisions, and co-operative play allows two gang members to team up and rack up special expanded combos and extra cash.

Diversions

Aside from activities, players also earn respect through the game's new diversion system. SR2 tracks the player's actions throughout the entire game and builds up their reputation accordingly. Respect is given for exploring new areas, winning gunfights with enemy gang members, finding jumps and stunt areas in different vehicles, and many other events over the course of the story. With diversions, players are able to continuously advance the Saints' interests – even when just messing around for fun, every action in the open world sandbox is a meaningful one.

There are several categories of diversions. Here are just a few of the many things the player can do to pick up extra respect as they play the game:

• Combat Diversions -- Shooting people in the head or groin, running them down with a car, beating them senseless with mailboxes, or tossing them into moving traffic are just a few of the ways players can earn respect when fighting their enemies. No points are awarded for sensitivity.
  
• Stunt Diversions -- Whether it be by powersliding through corners in a sports car or barnstorming in between buildings in a plane, players earn respect when they show their prowess behind the controls of SR2's many different vehicles. Races are scattered throughout Stilwater to give the player extra opportunities to test their mettle.
  
• Criminal Mischief -- Not all trouble found in Stilwater involves going head-to-head with the other gangs. Players can gain respect through a number of spontaneous crimes to commit, ranging from good old fashion felonies like store holdups or hostage taking to smaller acts such as street muggings or even funny misdemeanors like streaking in the buff.

the videos even the promo now advocate more "WILD" stuff. I'm wondering if SR2 will and can be played more lifelike like GTA4. meaning i want a more calm environment instead of craziness all the time unless I start it

Re: Saint's Row 2

Hopefully there is something to do once the game ends besides take your annoying friends on man-dates.

Re: Saint's Row 2

I was so hyped for GTA.. but it came out during my Finals.. so I actually haven't even purchased that yet.. are you guys really not feelin that game? I've heard good things about it from my friends.. but I trust you guys more LOL.

I get the vibe that you guys are thinking SR will be funner or something. I loved SR, and the next edition looks pretty good. I think going after GTA is funny, but I can't help but to feel they know they have the inferior product so they feel the need to talk mess.

Re: Saint's Row 2

GTA is worth the purchase ec, get both.
