NoNewTaleToTell: Hello all, hope you're all having a great time of day :)
Three hours in, I am LOVING Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell! I mean, I'm enjoying nearly every single bit of it, there has been one mission series so far that I didn't like that much and even those missions weren't bad, they were just heavy on strategy (which is fine) yet reliant on a little RNG luck as to if the enemy would use a certain technique (which was mildly annoying).
The only complaint I have (and it's a mild one) is that the game seems to expect you to play as Gat, even though you can play as Gat OR as Kinzie (I'm playing as Kinzie of course). For example: Even if you're playing as Kinzie, in all of the "tutorial" cutscenes Gat is the character shown displaying the new skill or style of side mission, and some of the cutscene's dialogue refer to the player character as Gat even if you're playing as Kinzie.
Oh and the game's version of Hell is pretty awesome, sort of a mix between Steelport and Stilwater and of course, err...hell-ized. It kinda has a feel similar to Constantine's (on the Ps2) Hell levels, which isn't a bad thing.
Good evening. Hope you've had a pleasant day as well. =)
Glad to hear you're enjoying the game so much. The problem with what you mentioned is that Johnny is supposed to be the star, despite him having the charisma of a burnt grilled cheese sandwich next to Kinzie. Not exactly sure why they put both characters in, beyond padding the game with places only Kinzie can activate to get a dribble of flavor voiceover.
Fantasysci5: I think I just saw the most frustrating/crazy thing in gaming ever.
I was trying to beat a boss in "Luckslinger" for going on two hours with no luck. I get my husband to come over and see how hard it is, see if he can get past it. I do the rest of the level so he's going to face the boss...the boss rides up, and before he can even begin to move or shoot, the boss drops down dead. I'm not joking. I have no idea why this happened. I was screaming in frustration and my husband was acting like he's the best thing since sliced bread.
I just, I can't...how in the world did that happen?!
It sounds like a bug. Not seeing anything on the Steam page for it or elsewhere about some secret weakness.
