Saints Row (360)

I started off by finishing a few of the recently-found Snatch missions, before moving on to pimping up my Mag (which I’ve been using as my car of choice for later Snatch missions as it’s pretty durable and can carry three passengers). I then found a new Insurance Fraud activity, so set about clearing that one out too (which was pretty easy, even without the police-car-head-on tactic). I also killed a load of people (starting with the DJ) in a …

Saints Row (360)

Hmm. As I cheered the fact I’d completed the last Snatch mission, I realised that, in fact, there was another location to do with 8 more Snatch missions. Pah. Set about doing some other stuff instead – a couple more Mayhem missions, hunted for some more CDs and tag locations (I found none), and generally just explored a bit more.

Saints Row (360)

Gngh! Too hard! I’m trying to work my way through all the Snatch missions, and although I’ve finished the Rollerz one already, the Vice Kings one, on level 8, is just too hard. There’s not even anything specifically difficult about it – I just can’t do it. Usually my car gets blown up by a molotov, or I have to swap car and then my bloke just stands there instead of entering the car I’m standing right next to. I’ve …

Saints Row (360)

Went back and did the Zenith thing, and then managed to get the other car needed too, completing all the Chop Shop stuff. I then went and shot down some more helicopters, took enough hostages to get me the 50 Hostages achievement (which got me 10 gamerpoints), and borrowed a load of money from the lone shark (to get another 10 points).

Saints Row (360)

With the game complete, I set about doing some of the activities, and trying some of the achievements. First up, destroying helicopters. Picked up three homies, and sat outside a Forgive and Forget shooting stuff. The police soon turned up, and I killed them, and eventually police helicopters arrived. After shooting several down, things got a bit hectic so I nipped in for a quick confessional, and the heat was off again. 13 helicopters down, 37 to go! This will …

Saints Row (360): COMPLETED!

Hurrah! Seeing off Price’s semi was much easier in an Aqua (a HumVee, basically) full of homies, rather than the crap car you’re given for the mission. After a couple of attempts, Price was dead and the game was over! …except, it wasn’t. The credits rolled, but then there were a few more missions to sort out. The police had got involved with the gang wars, and Julius had been arrested by a bent cop. I won’t spoil it for …

Saints Row (360)

Rattled through most of the rest of the Rollerz missions, and finished all the Rollerz Strongholds. Progress was again peppered with “activities”, although I did manage to complete the demolition derby, which got me an achievement. After “the thing that happens with Lin which I won’t spoil for you”, there was a great mission where I had to ride shotgun (or rather, RPG) for Julius on the highway, destroying Rollerz’s cars. ACE. I’m now stuck trying to destroy Price’s lorry. …

Saints Row (360)

Didn’t play for long this evening. I managed one more Rollerz mission, but had to spend much of my time building up my respect bar to allow me to take part in it. There’s not actually much that annoys me about this game, but having to keep stopping the missions to veer off and do sideline stuff irks me a bit. Surely I shouldn’t be forced into doing them?

Saints Row (360)

After a few more (accidental, in one case) hostage “missions”, I set about doing the next two Westside Rollerz missions. The first was a race, of sorts. I didn’t have to win, however – I just needed to get close to the Rollerz and taunt them enough to make them use a nitro boost. Which was rigged to make them explode, of course. Obviously. Then I had to attack some garage owned by Donnie, and Lin (a Saint, but undercover) …

Saints Row (360)

Didn’t play any more actual proper missions, as I needed to build up my respect bar before they were unlocked, so set about exploring instead. Found three CDs (I now have 10, so it unlocked a music track), and some tag points. Also found one of the cars I needed for a Chop Shop mission, and I spent a while doing hostage runs too. I got another achievement today as well – 20 hours played. What was interesting is I …

Saints Row (360)

Teh Carnales haev teh ded aussi! I finished off all of the Los Carnales missions, which (in general) where one hell of a lot easier than the Vice Kings ones. Perhaps it is suggested somewhere that you start with those? I don’t know. Anyway. I had to retry a couple of a strongholds a few times, but two of them were stupidly easy – the tagging one, and the pushing drugs into the water one. Of course, being able to …

Saints Row (360)

Teh Vice Kings haev teh ded! Huzzah! I completed the last VK mission, and they’re all gone from the map. WINNAR. After that, I spent a while collecting some more cars, then bought loads of bling (which got me an achievement, and also gives me 15% bonus on respect on each mission I complete), then went and did some hijack missions. After that, I did a few more Insurance Fraud missions (and got myself a bonus of less damage taken …
