Yeah, only for today.

Just played the http://deckers.die/ mission.

This game is ****ing awesome.

Can't decide if I like that mission more, the Zimos mission with exploding rickshaws, or the fact that they play "Power" on that early mission where you set up your Saints HQ.

There's a mission later that I think tops them all simply because it is so out there in a couple of ways...Do not click unless you have beaten the game.

Spoiler

Burt Reynolds and zombies.

I've been playing this game a lot lately (my son already passed it). One of the things I noticed that you can do to make the missions where you ride shotgun with a guy who goes around and makes deals is...

Spoiler

Take one of your armored up, souped up cars to the mission then get out of the beater they provide you and get into the nice ride you drove over to the mission. Makes the hard one where you are on 5 stars right away much easier. They simply cant do jack to your vehicle.

This game is fun, just like the other two, but the sound is killing me. Cars and other sounds are all very quiet and lagging behind. I'll hit the gas and it takes a full second until I hear my car actually rev its engine up. Not too major, but seriously annoying.

That's odd, have you checked other games to see if maybe its a system thing instead if just the game?

I just started a new campaign yesterday afternoon and beat it this afternoon to get some of the items I didn't get the first time through. I feel happier about the choices I made this time through. The mayor is great, seeing his car made me smile.

Does this game require an online pass? It's at EB Games on sale for $39.99(new) & $34.99(used). I would get the used copy if the online pass is not required to save $5. If it is required I will just get the new copy as it would already come with it. Thanks.

Only if you want to play online co-op. I don't really see a need for it, but if you have friends with the game it would probably be fun to run around and cause some mayhem in the world.

It's only this game. All of my other games work fine and sound great, but this game has terribly quiet sounds and they are near a full second behind.

You're right on the first part. This game has the absolute worst mix of sounds I ever heard.

As far as sound delays, I've definitely heard a couple when activating nitrous, blowing up a car, etc. I've had trouble getting some sound effects at times.

I just think the developers had some trouble with so many things loading into memory at once.

re: Saints Row: The Third

I received the game from Gamefly this week and put in a couple of hours this morning. I enjoy what I'm seeing so far. The mission's have been fun and I always enjoy the gameplay and atmosphere of the Saints Row games. I may end up keeping this from Gamefly.

re: Saints Row: The Third

Just finished it this morning. Definitely the most fun I've had with a game this year. Looks like I got the good ending also, will have to go through it again just so I can make some different choices and see what happens.

re: Saints Row: The Third

My other issues with the sounds are that cutscenes are like 150% the volume of the actual gameplay and the sounds all sound great there. In cutscenes gun fire in on time, loud, cars are loud, voices actually sound great. During the game voices sound like they're in 2x Stereo mode(come through all the speakers at once), gunfire and car engines are ridiculously quiet, and everything is delayed.

It's only this game and I've checked my setup, it's in 5.1 mode when I am playing, so it's not my settings. Everything just sounds so weird with the voices in 2x Stereo mode, all cars are apparently hybrids, and all guns have on silencers, but the music and crashes are at least normal.

How many different endings are there? This was the one I got the first time:

Spoiler

Killbane escapes, but everybody lived.

As far as the audio goes, I only really had trouble with the in-mission dialogue while driving or fighting. It was too low and could barely be heard over the other sound effects. I haven't played it on my surround sound, yet.
