SAINTS ROW IV

[Your Mom]

Ok one line may have just elevated this from great game to all time classic. It's from pretty late in the game so I'll spoiler it

No one calls Roddy. He just shows up where he's needed most.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Right, got it ordered so by the time it comes through my letterbox on Wednesday you guys should be just about done with playing it ever again.

[Ruki]

So that was a weird fucking glitch....

After rescuing Matt MIller...

It put me right into the mission where I have to save Pierce. So, I somehow ended up passing by the power armor mission.

I do part of Pierce's mission, but when I go to get the SMG's, it doesn't let me continue.

So I had to re-load the game. Was weird.

[Your Mom]

I'm about to fucking break something. Someone help me with this!

You get the power armor on and jump out of the air lock and how the fuck do you dodge stuff? I keep running into the first fucking wall. I am so pissed off right now.

[Liam]

Bought it today using my CEX credit from trade-ins. Too much love was being shown for me not to pick this up.

Unfortunately, my 11 year old daughter is here until late tomorrow, so no play until Thursday probably.

[Your Mom]

I did it! Happy again! That part was still annoying though

The bit with The Touch playing in the background, right? It threw me off at first too because I assumed, for some reason, that it'd be like airplane controls but it's not. Just hold up and you should clear that first wall. Holding down moves you down and going to the side does that little spinny thing. Aside from dying twice from confusion at the first part, I managed to get through fine after that though there are one or two sections that look tricky.

Of course you reply that you've done it as soon as I reply. Of coooooooooooourse.

Whilst I'm here, Speed Rift is the woooorst. Few of these activities I've got left to clear up are a little tricky but hopefully I should be able to manage them all. One Mayhem I lost by $1000.

[Your Mom]

Just finished the main story. So good! Loved the ending

[Liam]

Out of interest (and from a man who has limited game playing time for the most part), how long did it take?

[King Ellis]

It depends how much time you take to fuck around in the world, do side quests, look for collectibles etc etc. Think my game time was up to 27-28 hours by the time I completed it but I did a lot of the aforementioned stuff. You could certainly power through it in way less time.

[Your Mom]

Mine is at exactly 25 hours. Which brings me to a question. Do you know if the play 40 hours achievment is across all playthroughs? Because I am at 90% and cant imagine spending another 15 hours to get the last 10%

[GhostMachine]

That's weird, I am on 1770x1000 (widescreen and windowed), and I coasted through the ship with 0 problems at all. Sure I scratched the sides of the closing doors, but I didn't have to retry it at all.

Well, it may just be certain resolutions that have the problem. Or it could be that you didn't get the problem due to playing in windowed.

[King Ellis]

Someone on 360 come help me finish the Hard Genki Mind Over Murder mission, it's the new worst thing since Speed Rift!

[Ruki]

I really didn't like the Mind Over Murder stuff.

[Your Mom]

But the announce team was really funny

[apsham]

The worst rift thingy has to be that god damn throwing the psychic balls one.

[Ruki]

The worst rift thingy has to be that god damn throwing the psychic balls one.

Fuck. I did that last night. That was just terrible.

[King Ellis]

Fuck you, Genki, 65 challenges complete!

Now just to kill about 50-100 more aliens with powers and then wait out the rest of my 40 hours and I'm done!

On the subject of activities though, I'd definitely rank the rifts pretty low. Speed rift is just a very poor mans endless runner, platforming is ok and I didn't mind the telekinesis one once I actually realised what you are meant to do.

Mayhem is better on foot since you can just run around everywhere. Tank is cool caus you have the laser but the UFO is kinda annoying, having to fly everywhere with helicopters chasing you and shit. You're in a hurry so you naturally get sloppy.

I think the super power fights aren't up to much either. Blazin' is pretty fun though.

If you want the 40 hour achievement, you can jsut leave the game idling overnight or something to rack up the hours.

I can do co op stuff tomorrow if you need.
