like gta san andreas you can gain points to be skinny,fat,or strong.
Saints row the third is the first game in ther series to feature a standard lv system.If you wanted to upgrade your accuracy,weapon damage,or sprinting ability in previous games,you had to complete all levels of a specific activity.This time around,respect works exactly like xp.Earn enough respect and youll rank up,which nulocks a new collection of perks and ablities for purchase.If you avoid melee combat,you can bypass those upgrades and asve cash for weapon based perks.With player choice being such a big foucus in saints row this new system allows you to upgrade your character the way you want.Every gang needs some signature rides,and you can tweak the cosmetics and performance of your car,Instead of being limited to nitrous or kneecappers,players can upgreade bumpers for added durability or pour some cash into torque to help outrun the cops.If you want your car to really stand out,add gigantic spoilers or a customizable underglow. they had some costume options from space suits,cowboy or girl,cheerleader,mexican wrestler,superhero,pirate,ninja,and furry.New weapons like this one melee weapon-a giant bat shaped like a certain sex toy-leans far towards the novelty end of the specturm.This floppy rubber weapon is fully animated and endowed,and adds an unmistakable degree of insult to an attack.Beating an elderly woman with a sledgehammer is typically frowned upon,but youre really pushing the lines of decency when youre pummeling her with a purple phallus.
A sex toy might be good for a laugh,but it doesnt do much good when faced with an angry mob of morning star.When overwhelmed,players can call an airstrike by painting the target area with a laser.If your enemis are camped under an awning or other cover,you can opt for a predator drone.Like the iconic ac-130 level in call of duty 4,this changes your perspective to a top down view.You can pepper areas with standard bombs or release a smart bomb tha can be precisely controlled with the analog sitcks.All weapons have one feature in common-a specifict animation for nut shots.Hold a pistol as you melee a bum and your character will drop to one knee and throw a stiff jab at his crotch.If your wielding a bazooka,youll perform a golf swing to the jewels.
One tedious aspect of open world crime games is waiting for the repetitve carjacking animation to complete.The last thing you want to do when youre on the run from the cops is wait for the door to open,the driver to be pulled out,and your character to get ready to drive.In saints row 3rd the LB button acts as a sprint button as well as a modifier.Volition refers to it as the AWESOME BUTTON,because it amlifies almost any action you do.In case of carjacking,this shortens the process down to a missile drop kick int the drivers seat.Sprint at the car from the side and youll break through the window,sending the driver flying out the opposite door.Approach from the front and youll leap over the hood,giving the driver a face full of boot.If youd rather stick with traditional means,the camera zooms in on your victim as you shoot them in the face,or slam the door on their head.Good Dumb Fun
Professor genkis super ethical reality climax-this warped activity elements of the wackiest japanese game show youve ever seen(kinda like the running man).players compete with other syndicate featuring fire traps,weapon drops,mascots,and hyperactive japanese announcers.
Tank mayhem-Fans of saints row 2 are used to mayhem missions,which equipped you with numerous weapons with infinite ammo.Tank mayhem mixes things up by placing you into a tank and tasking you with destroying specific high value targets.These sections put the games geo mod imporvements on display-cars warp and deform as you tank makes contact rather than exploding in a shower of metal.Health pickups should keep your tank rolling long enough for your to steamroll that valuable parade of strippers.
Guardian Angel-your buddy Angel wants to toughen you up,and this particular method is pulled straight of talladega nights.It requires you to drive carefully around town as a tifer hangs out in the back seat.IF youre playing in coop,your partner must assault the tiger to keep him our of your hair.
As opposed to the random nature of these activites in previous games,these hijinks are tied to the syndicate war in saints row 3rd.Mayhem missions reward you for taking out syndicate property,and the goofier ones like insurance fraud and guardian angel are billed as training exercises to strenghten your charcter so can face the enemy without fear.theres a new enemy like oleg kirrlor a 8 feet tall towering beast who can toss cars like theyre styrofoam.Hell eventually be an asset to the saints,but the syndicate captures him in an effort to creat clone army.Oleg is highly intelligent,but the syndicates cloning process proves imperfect and his copies come out dumb as bricks.Despite their lack of brains,theyre still shipped out as heap muscle to the gangs of steelport.After getting used to taking down waves of standard sized,gun wielding baddies,youll have to shift your strategy when one of these cloned brutes charge you with piledrivers on his mind.unloading shells in him will weaken him but you have to complete a quick time event to deliver the final blow.
