Saints Row : The Third (PS3/360) Q4 2011 *Scan Heavy*

[Sminky]

I'll buy it off PSN, I imagine its quite cheap and I'd prefer to have a digital copy anyhow.

EDIT: Really? I'll buy SR3 then.

 

[fick]

Buy "The third" and you get a free PSN download of Saints Row 2. I'm gonna go back to it once i finish 3.

Now that I did not know! Very decent of them

 

[Jonno394]

Yeah, heard rumblings about it so thought i'd investigate. You have a one time use code in the instruction manual for on-line co-op.

Use it and then search for saints row 2 in the store and it will be a free download for you. You don't get a prompt about it though, which is quite weird!

7GB, so need to clear some space off my 40gb HDD before I download.

edit - available until Feb 3rd.

 

[Sminky]

Well if that's the case I'll get it Boxing day.

 

[Jonno394]

I tried uploading some screenshots of my carnage earlier but the upload/stat tracking servers are down over at saintsrow.com

Love the fact you can do that simply turning it on through your phone and pressing down on the dpad.

 

[Appswah]

The missions on this are insanely funny.

 

[Jonno394]

What mission are you up to?

 

[Appswah]

I'm on 'Hit The Powder Room' now.

Just breaking in and killing all the morning star in there gun store/warehouse. Just killed the brute with the massive mini gun.

 

[Jonno394]

I'm literally only about 3 missions ahead of you. You have one more mission left in Act 1 and i have done two in Act 2.

i've been too busy doing the city takeover side of things buying properties, doing activities, having 30 minute shoot outs etc. I own 97% of the Deckers territory, 75% of the Luchadores territory, 97% of the middle Morning star Territory and 40% of the western territory.

 

[Appswah]

I'm on the last mission of Act one. Once I've done that I'm going to focus on doing the assassinations and Vehicle thefts and focus on buying the rest of the properties. I've spent most my money so far on properties except I did buy the dual pistol perk.

edit:


Lol. Just realised I have a huge naked Brute following me round.

 

[Jonno394]

god, taht reminds me I havent touched the assassination missions or car thefts since the first hour or two, jesus that's something I should look in to.

Have you tried "Whored mode" yet? Great fun.

 

[Appswah]

No I haven't tried that yet? What you gotta do?

 

[Jonno394]

I think there are three different areas you can play single or co-op and there are just countless amounts of stages with various ridiculous challenges.

One included 50ft women with guns and you with a samurai sword, midgets with sniper rifles, crazed zombie mascots etc it's a grea laugh.

[Appswah]

Looks awesome.

I've decided to do some of the vehicle stealing challenges and one of them is to steal a streetsweeper thing. I was driving down the path way trying to avoid the police swerving from side to side trying to avoid being shot by the police sniper in the helicopter. I smashed into a post and immediately stopped and the lazer from the sniper carried on and he shot into a group of pedestrians trying avoid me smashing into them.

 

[Jonno394]

I have the "nitro boost" for every vehicle perk so I imagine using the nitro on a streetsweeper ploughing into some pedestrians could be hillarious.

 

[Appswah]

The streetsweeper was easy to get back to the garage but I'm struggling to get the Trash truck back, slow and hard to turn round corners and I've got soo many police chasing me that the truck gets destroyed before i get anywhere lol.

 

[Jonno394]

"My stats" is currently working, but only one of my screenshots uploaded so I guess this first shit test image is the only one I can share:

 

[Sho]

Finally played this I can safely say its very fun. Done few missions awesome stuff.

 

[Appswah]

This game is hilarious. I'm struggling to do any challenges now just because it's too fun having huge battles with police and gangs lol.

I'm still stuck on stealing the trash truck, it keeps getting destroyed by police shooting and ramming me. It's rediculous because you have to drive from the island on the far right all the way too the island on the far left. I think I might leave it until I get vehicle nitrous perk.

 

[Jonno394]

Yeah, it's so easy to get sidetracked just having random shootouts

It doesn't help that when you have guys in your car or driving behind you and you say get a star rating against another gang or the cops they all start shooting so you can't help but become embroiled in some gang warfare.
