[quote name='mvp828']Actually, I looked back and don't see anything obvious that was posted by Technique. And if there was it sure as hell wasn't as obvious as your stupid post that stated something that at the time was in the title of the thread.
[/QUOTE]

WTF are you people talking about? Can someone please show me where in this post title, OP or anywhere else someone mentioned Blockbuster? All I ever saw was Target, Walmart or TRU.

Someone please quote me a post or title that mentiones Blockbuster so that I don't go crazy thinking Scorch or whoever the hell this guy is, is actually right.
 
[quote name='4tygames']Best Buy, Norman, OK, has several copies in stock now.[/QUOTE]

That would be badass if all Best Buy's did... I can't believe a BB of all places screwed up on the street date. I'm going to call my local BB just to see if they got it, though.
 
I think I'm going to go back to that Wal-Mart on the Southside at 12:01 am to buy a copy, and get a few hours in... this game is gonna be hot.
 
I know this has been asked numerous times so thats why Im posting it in here... does any B&M stores have the game for under $59.99 this week (besides the GGC at BB)? Also can I play 2 player with a friend or does it have to be online/network? Thanks :)

No one has it on sale, and it probably won't go on sale anytime soon... just like Dead Rising, it will sell like hotcakes at full price so there is no reason to drop it in price.
 
prolly YMMV but i just walked into target to get some drinks for a party tonight and they had saints row out so i purchased a copy

bout to try it out right now :D

already annoyed with the Wu Tang intro song
 
Anyone had any luck in the Dayton/Middletown Ohio areas? I'd go pick one up if I knew they had it but otherwise I'm just wasting $3-4 in gas. Thanks
 
[quote name='mvp828']That is absolute BS. I can't believe there is no blood.[/quote]

Meh, fuck your blood nigga. I've been thrown out of nicer crackhouses. Seriously, lots of blood doesn't make a game good. Hell that fact that there isn't an abundance of blood is nice since it is all about gameplay and not how extremely violently grusome the game is.

Havok > Blood
 
I'm by no means a blood whore, but I just like seeing the somewhat realism. However, it is definetly something that won't bother me once I start playing. I probably won't even remember. Well, I guess I will but who cares.
 
i dunno i never played any game like this before so i dunno if it's standard but they are hard to react

like i hit left and takes forever to move left

edit: actually i really like the shogun car, the rest tho kinda blah to me
 
Hey a question for those of you who have the game already. Is it possible to adjust the controller config? The reason I ask is that I hated how A and B were the gas and brake on the demo. I love using the right and left trigger for those.

Also how does everybody like the game so far? Is it worth the 55 (60-GGC) bucks right away tomorrow, or should I wait until this weekend when I can use the BB GGC and 10% off coupon.
 
[quote name='Scorch']Why does everyone complain about the cars? I thought the cars handled just fine[/QUOTE]
They feel like they steer with the back tires.

there's three different schemes for driving

one is the default from demo

another is:

A - Primary Attack
B - Inventory
X - Handbrake
Y - Action/Exit Car
LT - Brake/Reverse
RT - Accelerate

the other is:

A - accel
B - nitrous
X - brake/reverse
y - action/exit car
LT - Handbrake
RB - Inventory

so i guess youd want scheme B

about game it's alright, i never played GTA before so this is a new game for me but my friend tried it out and said was less freedom than GTA

instead of collecting money the main thing in this game is respect, everything you do gives you respect then you can unlock missions if you have enough respect



the language is really harsh tho, never heard so much cursing in my life

I shotgunned a bitchass Rolla, his bitchass blood splattered all over my building. I don't think it stayed long, but I didn't have time to look cause I had about 20 guys shooting at me from all directions!
 
Blood is one of those things that I personally don't notice unless its done really well. Dead Rising is the best example of a game that just wouldn't be as heartwarming if it didn't have the gallons of blood splattered all over the place.
 
[quote name='help1']Hows the XBL?[/quote]

It is fun. I love playing Big Ass Chains. The pre-game lobby is awesome. Just around and kill each other.
 
I can feel the rush... I must have this by tomorrow, or my face will explode.
 
just bought a pre-order at work (TRU). so I'll be picking this up tomorrow before my morning class.

we got them in today, but they were marked with a street date of 8/29/06.

:bow: :bow: :bow: Can't wait to get this weekend. Tell Me More!!
 
I was playing a little last night and out of nowhere I had Swat and all kinds of crazy cops trying flip me over, yelling shit like "Nobody kills a cop". All the while driving through enemy territory and killing rival gang members building up my notoriety meter. After a while I had a shitload of muthafuckas following me and cops barricading streets at every turn. It was freakin awesome.
 
[quote name='javeryh']So is the screen tearing fixed from the demo? Or at least noticably better?[/QUOTE]

Check my post in the other Saints Row thread, but it's actually worse for me than in the demo. I stop noticing it after awhile, but yea, its still there.

Framerate is better, graphics look better, but the screen tearing is still there.

The game has a TON of secret achievements too... I'm enjoying this so far, screen tearing and all.

The bulldozer is fucking awesome.
 
[quote name='javeryh']So is the screen tearing fixed from the demo? Or at least noticably better?[/QUOTE]
The screen tearing problems are still there but I wouldn't say they are worse than the demo but just about the same. Really, this game is good enough where you won't even care after a few missions.
 
I don't know if it's my setup (Panasonic Plasma HDTV) but the screen tearing issues were really really really bad for me in the demo (my wife who really doesn't notice things like graphics at all was like, "Why is the screen doing that? It's annoying"). I'll probably pick it up for $40 though if the Play-asia region thing comes through.

Honestly though, like Santurio said you just stop noticing it after awhile once your eyes get used to it.

This game is easily better than GTA if just for the fact that the side missions make total fucking sense... no longer do you have to do shit like ambulance or police missions, now you can do escort missions (which are fun as hell) and insurance fraud.

This game is easily better than GTA, imo.
