Thw key to that boss is not to attack him..
its a lesson in counter-attacking only.

when he strikes then you attack and he gets flipped.

Also you were right about the hitmen.. i found the other 2 lists there are indeed 5.

and yes you get unlimited rifle ammo when complete.
 
I am bummed that I only have 31% left to go. I love this game!
The only thing I hate about this game is the racing side missions.

yeah i got the rifle ammo and bought the $10k rifle. Awesomeness except for only 50 rounds.

I'm trying now for unlimited pistol ammo, but the damn fuzz gets hard in later levels.
 
I beat the game yesterday (90% complete) and I just had a great time. Probably the most fun "sandbox" game I've played. Its really just a riot at times with fun missions, activities and lots of personality. Graphics are a bit rough and the framerate tanks at times but its all about fun and this game is a keeper. Next time I play the game it'll be all in co-op.

My two fav for coop is
1. Mayhem
2. Heli
 
Having a blast with character creation. I have started several different games with dif characters. Some of the taunts and face expressions are just f'ing hilarious! This game is definately one of the best games ever,, even with the bugs (mine locks up every once in a while). Definately, IMO, better than GTA4.

You kidding me? I have been playing nonstop since I got it. Well over 60 hours as one of the acheivments are for playing over 50 hours. 🙂 Havent had this much fun with a sandbox games since San Andreas!
 
Do you unlock different clothes as you progress through the story? The suits at Impressions in the first one were cool, but in this one they suck. I can't find a cool suit anywhere in the game.

I actually have the easiest time with Fuzz. I always had a hard time with Snatch in the last Saints Row, but haven't tried it this time. I used the invincible taxi trick last time.

I used a different strategy. If this is the last ronin mission you are talking about. I just catch myself on fire and touch him. I heal then catch on fire again and touch him. Worked in 2 mins. 🙂
 
When you guys use the Kobra pistols, is there a laser? I think there is supposed to be one but I don't see one. I see the attachment on the gun, but no actual lasers.
 
I'm a little late to the party, but I finally got this game and I'm enjoying it.

If anyone still plays it and wants to do co-op, let me know. I have yet to play co-op, so I'm intrigued as to how it works (like Crackdown?).
 
Bumping a near month old thread just because how awesome this game is. A friend and I have been searching for a fun coop game and we finally found it. We loved Crackdown but after a 3-4 hour gaming session over the weekend we think this game is the best coop period.

Great review, warcrow! :thumbsup:

Yep, I am still playing it even though I have done just about everything. Co-op in this game is fun as hell.
