- Just finished all 41 Challenges. Some of them require allot of grinding. - The collectibles are much easier this time around, Since you can buy a perk that will show you where each one is. - Car Thefts have some challenge to them in SR:TT. It's basically combines Hijacking from SR1 & Car Thefts into one Diversion. - It's a little odd that once you hit Level 50 Respect. The game basically turns God Mode on for you. Immunity to all Bullets, Fire, Falling, Explosions, Car Damage & Infinite Ammo on All Guns.

I can't seem to upload my pics. My PS3 account is linked with my Saintsrow.com account.
It is fun and crazy. But I'm taking my time. I don't like to rush through games then find myself with a $60 coaster.

A lot of the missions in this game would get you banned here for absurdity alone. Fun game though. Volition always makes fun games.
I'm surprised you haven't done any red faction games yet.
I played them on the PS2. I just didn't have any interest in the new RF, RF series was killed off. Now Volition can focus on Saint's Row 4.
That's kind of the point of the game. Over the top Missions & completely insane missions.
Not going to spoiler the ending missions. The One ending is completely nuts.

Make sure you click PS3 as Primary & than Save. I know some just click Primary and forgot to click Save.

See how long you can last against STAG & Gangs at Level 5. First night That's all I did. If your going to 100% the game still going take you a long time.
Saint's Row is one series you shouldn't rush through. I had a blast playing and didn't want it to end.
Shame SR:TT doesn't have Replay mission feature like previous games had.

another question. How did you get the screenshots above? Especially the game screens?
Nevermind. found out. What a run around!
Now that the feature on the Saintsrow.com website is now working, any screenshots you took will be up there, just sign in and look at your screenshots. To make them bigger just do what i do.
1. Make the images public 2. Click on Community 3. Click on Map 4. Click on My Map 5. Click on Screenshots 6. Click on your images to make them bigger 7. Save them to your PC and put .jpg at the end of the file name and enjoy. ALso only do this if you own the Console version of the game.
I tried to make Shakira

It saddens me that they put the red faction series on hold. I hope they bring it back for the next round of consoles. I would love for them to go back to the geomod days with the destruction.
I think you would have fun with red faction guerrilla and Armageddon.
The only problem I had with armageddon was the level breaking bug where one level wouldn't load any trigger points for missions.

this game is crazy fun. There's a tron looking minigame, a driving a tiger minigame, blow stuff up time race, tank blow crap up minigame, and I love Insurance fraud (it's like Burnout crashes, except with a person fumbling around for a few minutes).

Just finished it. Just like I thought, this game goes too fast, even if you take your time. Alot of the missions are really fun and original. Things you will never see in a Grand Theft Auto. But there's also so much potential that this game doesn't tap into. Some of the missions would be great diversion games too, if THQ made them. There are areas that are not used for missions or diversions like
Click to reveal..
the airport or other skyscrapers. The other gangs also got seriously underplayed as most of my time was fighting Morningstar and Stag and some luchadores by the end
hopefully the DLC's provide alot. Not just a handful of missions that Saints Row 2 got. But hopefully more like GTA's dlc's that seemed like new games.

crappy dlc's so far. Just some silly costumes and silly weapons. I have really low hopes now for any good dlc expansions.

I'd bought all of the DLC for SR2 and am enjoying SR3 so far so decided to buy the 'season pass' which gets me the 3 upcoming mission packs a little bit cheaper plus it gives you the Nyte Blade vehicles and costumes. Anyway, I'd taken some in game photos a few days ago and they uploaded fine but after buying the season pass it freezes the PS3 during the upload and it needs to be restarted. Apparently THQ were made aware of this in November and they still haven't fixed it
It is known by many names: “The greatest specatacle in sports," “The most dangerous game,” and “Holy [redacted] I can’t [redacted] believe I [redacted] [redacted].” It is the one, the only, Genkibowl VII!!
A genius in entertainment and mayhem, the man-cat Professor Genki has put together the most watched game show event on TV, Genkibowl VII. But every game show needs a star contestant, and Professor Genki has chosen the leader of the Saints. With the Saints’ reputation for excessive murder and carnage, Steelport’s own Zach and Bobby (of Murderbrawl fame) will give the play-by-play commentary with their newest colleague, Tammy Tolliver.
As a special surprise, the Professor has allowed his very own Genki Girls to theme the new games after themselves. Sail through the skies with Sad Panda Skyblazing. Fight through dark, shark-infested jungles in Angry Tiger’s Apocalypse Genki. And crush your way to victory in Sexy Kitten Yarngasm. But don’t forget to help Professor Genki maintain his excitement before any public appearances in Super Ethical PR Opportunity.
Available for download on January 17th on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and Steam, GenkiBowl VII will feature such mind-bending games as Sexy Kitten Yarngasm, Sad Panda Skyblazing, Apocolypse Genki, and Super Ethical PR Opportunity. The first downloadable mission pack for Saints Row: The Third, Genkibowl VII is included with the Saints Row Season Pass, and promises to mostly if not completely blow your mind. For this is Genkibowl: Where ridiculous happens.
As a final note, Season Pass holders will get Genkibowl VII for FREE. Those without the Season Pass, Genkibowl VII will be available for purchase for 560 MS Points, or $6.99, depending on your platform of choice.
------- Plus a New Homie (CheapyD) from CheapAssGamers.com (He won the Charity Auction)
Genkibowl VII is way to short. Hoping The next DLC is longer and Mission Based. Genkibowl VII is just allot of Activities stringed together and altered.

The trophies were stupidly easy to get too. The Sad Panda Skyblazing took me a few attempts to figure out what I was doing but other than that the one where you have to throw 5 enemies to the sharks in Apocalypse Genki was the only one that caused me any trouble and that was only because I had fully upgraded my 'throw' so I was throwing the enemies over the water and into the wall behind it Got it after a few tries though
As with the SR2 dlc it's overpriced as it will only take between 30 to 60 minutes to finish/get all trophies

I kinda expected this, which is the reason I didn't get it.
This week marks three months since Saints Row: The Third hit store shelves worldwide, and everyone here in the community have continued to upload/download characters, and share their screenshots and stories. Did you know that we've had over 10 million characters uploaded to the database since launch? To mark such a momentous occasion, we're giving the entire community a gift and upping your upload character limit to 20, instead of 10. The extra slots have already been handed out, so feel free to upload 10 more of your favorite creations. We also have the ability to hand out more than that amount on a case-by-case basis, so we'll be scanning the character databases and looking for individuals that are going that extra mile and deserve even more slots. The big news though, is that starting this Tuesday, Valentine's Day (Wednesday for PS3), we're bringing two much wanted and requested DLC Packs to the marketplace for general consumption, both of which make great gifts for the special co-op partner in your life. First up, is the Funtime Pack, featuring none other than Professor Genki's famous toys originally only available via pre-order. You'll receive the super-tight Stunt Suit, the dance-fever inducing Mollusk Launcher, and of course, the Super Ballistic Manapult, meant purely for launching whomever you want across the city. Remember kids, Murder Time, Fun Time - it's the best time! The second pack coming down the line is the Moneyshot Pack. Looks can kill…and so do you. With this pack, you can transform yourself into one of Ultor’s elite femme fatales. Don your high-heeled tactical catsuit and take to the skies on a custom Ultor jet bike. Then when the time comes to execute your target, do so with unprecedented style with your fully automatic sniper rifle. Finally, don't forget about Gangstas In Space, our second Season Pass mission-based DLC Pack. I'll be sharing some details about that pack later in the week, so stay tuned!
In a world… Where everything you know is about to change… One man (and a space woman)… create a movie. From the visionary mind of big-shot Hollywood director Andy Zhen, the Saints are back once again to complete the final scenes for their future blockbuster, “Gangstas In Space”. With the world waiting in anticipation of the very first Saints movie, there’s a lot on the line, and it’s your job to act the part. Starring the Boss and introducing Jenny Jaros as Princess Kwilanna, you’ll experience action, drama, blow-up dolls, and one hell of an alien invasion through a series of new missions. Will Jenny be your new love interest? Will you stop the alien invasion? Will there be at least three different kinds of melon at the craft services table? Find out when you play…
Gangstas In Space will be hitting all platforms on Tuesday, February 21st for $6.99 or FREE to all of those with a Season Pass.
Love this game so far, only gotten through about 46% of it, been playing the trilogy since January since I got Part 3 along with the Game Guide (which came with the Money Shot DLC (sucks the suit is only for girls) for Christmas and wanted to play the first 2 first. I think Saints 3 is just so fun and while GTA laid the ground works for games like this Saints 3 goes above and beyond what GTA did before. It's just fun and different types of game play.
I do wanna try multiplayer, so if you got 360, add me: demento613

THE DOMINATRIX HAS YOU. THQ CONFIRMS DEVELOPMENT OF SAINTS ROW: THE THIRD – ENTER THE DOMINATRIX All science, just a little fiction. Seriously. AGOURA HILLS, CALIF. May 3, 2012 – The real world may be a lie... but this announcement isn't. THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI - News) and Volition, Inc.® are proud to announce the development of Saints Row®: The ThirdTM – Enter The Dominatrix™, the groundbreaking standalone expansion to Saints Row: The Third. No longer an April Fool's dream, the outrageous game concept will be reality this fall. It's really happening. Slated for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, for a suggested retail price of $29.99, Saints Row: The Third – Enter The Dominatrix takes the award-winning, over-the-top action of Saints Row: The Third and adds the most requested gameplay features from the Saints Row community: freaking super powers. "Faster than a speeding cyber jetbike, more powerful than a roided-out Luchadore, able to leap flying aircraft carriers in a single bound... That's the power you'll find inside the Dominatrix. Use it for good. Use it for evil. Use it for whatever you want. As always in Saints Row, it's up to you," said Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President, Core Game Production, THQ Inc. "With a franchise with more than 11 million units shipped globally, it's incredibly gratifying to have the flexibility to give Saints Row fans the features they want most." He later added, "Freaking super powers." About Saints Row: The Third – Enter the Dominatrix Saints Row: The Third - Enter the Dominatrix picks up immediately following the events of Saints Row: The Third. For centuries, alien warlord Zinyak has eyed Earth and its precious natural resources and females with a watchful eye. As he prepares an armada for invasion, he has only one worry: the Third Street Saints. Once a simple street gang from Stilwater, the Saints have evolved into a global empire, replete with bombastic TV advertising and tasteful consumer products, the kind of TV advertising and consumer products that would give any alien warlord pause. Clearly, the Saints are the biggest badasses on Earth. Now, in order to prepare his forces for domination, Zinyak captures the leader of the Saints and imprisons him in an elaborate virtual reality simulation. This simulation program looks and feels like Steelport, but it is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Here, you are a slave. Welcome... to the Dominatrix. More details and a first look at Saints Row: The Third – Enter the Dominatrix will be available this summer.

That's not the conclusion of Saints Row for the year. Saints Row: The Third: Enter The Dominatrix is expected to launch this September. The game is a standalone product that does not require the third installment to play and started life as an April Fool's gag.

Saints Row: The Third: Enter The Dominatrix sounds like proper little add-on game the way Ballad of Gay Tony was to GTA IV

THQ exploit the living hell out of the DLC for the game. Most of the DLC for Saint's Row: The Third is a Rip off. The expansion pack should be worth the money.
What would Saints Row be without the VTOL jets and giant purple dildos? I'm not sure myself, but recently crowned THQ president and Naughty Dog co-founder Jason Rubin wants to find out. In an interview with Polygon, Rubin aired his grievances over Saints Row 3's tone and crass humor and his intention to change that in future entries.
"Why couldn't that be a Red Dead Redemption or a Skyrim?" Rubin asked. "I look at that title and I say, ‘Who cares what it is and why it got to be what it is? From that team we can make something that isn't embarrassing."
For clarification, Rubin is not saying the quality of the game is embarrassing but that its mature comedic presentation, that limits the game's potential audience, is embarrassing. That Rubin would openly state his dislike of the game's humor and his intentions to change the game are a bit upsetting as a series fan. Before Saints Row found its voice and over-the-top sensibilities, it was just a next-gen Grand Theft Auto clone. In this instance, bringing Saints Row back to its roots would not be a good thing.
"[Mature humor] works for South Park, but I'm not sure it does elsewhere," Rubin said. "I don't think (Volition) chose to do what they did because they had all of the options available to them. It was the environment at the time ... I know I can change that."
As THQ's new president, Rubin seems pretty gung-ho about expanding its brands' audiences, instead of focusing on the niche audiences the company has appealed to in the past. The company had a troublesome year in 2011, so I can understand where Rubin is coming from, but he should also realize that stripping away the signature comedic values of Saints Row would not serve the company, developer, or fans well.
and this my friend is how THQ Died.
Best part was when this was posted some people from selected Media Sites and Developers(One being from Gearbox). Calling Jason Rubin beyond stupid.
Why would you want to destroy your most profitable series when THQ is in Financial Trouble.
I'd be surprised if they didn't get into some kind of trouble over that broomstick. It's pretty much a direct copy of the Nimbus 2000 from Harry Potter
The planned standalone expansion for Saints Row: The Third, Enter the Dominatrix, has been merged with Saints Row 4.
Publisher THQ revealed to Eurogamer that Enter the Dominatrix has essentially been cancelled, with all of its content instead merged into the next entry in the hit franchise.
THQ president Jason Rubin revealed, "When I looked at the Enter The Dominatrix expansion in production at Volition, I was blown away by the ideas and desire to expand the fiction of the franchise.
"I asked the team what it could achieve given more time, more resources, and a broader scope for the project. We all agreed we wanted to play that game.
"When it comes to Saints Row, it's clear our fans want bigger, better, and even more over the top, and that's why Enter The Dominatrix will now be incorporated into a vastly expanded, full-fledged sequel, scheduled for calendar 2013."
Rubin also apparently revealed that the profits for the rescheduled production won't appear until the financial year ending 2014, meaning a release is likely to take place after April 2013.
Enter the Dominatrix originally started life as an April Fool's joke, before the company decided to pursue the project. With its admittedly risqué content, it's not a surprise that the game will be merged with Saints Row 4. Before leaving the company in May, former THQ president Danny Bilson claimed the follow-up to Saints Row: The Third would be "wilder".
Chris Stockman, the design director on Saints Row : "hey just to let you know word around the campfire is SR4 is shipping on current gen consoles in late August."
Saints Row 4 could be headed to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this August, rather than on the next-generation consoles expected to launch this fall. Publisher Deep Silver, who picked up the property following the dissolution of THQ, has yet to confirm any details. However, Chris Stockman, design director on the original Saints Row, tweeted to IGN that "the word around the campfire is SR4 is shipping on current gen consoles in late August." IGN inquired with Deep Silver, who stated it's "still working on [timing] with Volition," and that it hasn't "announced platforms yet." Previously, Saints Row: Enter the Dominatrix, an expansion to Saints Row: The Third, was rolled up into a full-fledged sequel. An August date for that particular game would put it a month ahead of its open-world rival, Grand Theft Auto V and its September release date. Speaking with GI.biz, Deep Silver's parent company, Koch Media, supported this notion. CEO Klemens Kundratitz said there's "no doubt" the next Saints Row will release in 2013.
- Saint's Row IV is the final entry to the Saint's Row franchise(I'm assuming they will reboot the series for next-gen consoles, I doubt Deep Silver paid 25 million just for one game in SR franchise).
