[Multiplatform] Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta - Saints Row 2

I was taking a gander on Metacritic for something earlier and spotted that this game is getting some pretty decent early review scores. This actually falls in a week with no current new release for me (i.e. this Friday), though I still have plenty of games to catch up on, not to mention the big releases start the subsequent week. Even so, I do like me some open world shenanigans and this could be fun (though like Ence I never played the original, not sure if that's at all important).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So I may have just bought the game in town, for which I'm completely blaming Jessy, G and Iwata (damn you all).

As such, if any of you are about tonight and over the weekend, I think some co-op action should be had.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What, you can have a British accent? Why do I get the feeling this is going to be a horrible "What Americans think British people sound like" British accent.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So I've got to say the more I'm playing this the more I'm loving it. There's a shit load of stuff you can do and mess about with, to the extent that I've hardly touched the story missions so far because I've been distracted by various other bits and pieces.

Also, had a couple of long co-op sessions with Jessy and it was huge amounts of fun, just tearing about the place blowing shit up, killing gang members and cops and just fucking about basically. Serious amounts of fun was had. Plus, we made a pretty good team I have to say (though Jessy, you really need to get yourself a mic already ).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Clothes you can't wear and one weapon you can't use, that's what you require so many words to 'quibble' over? There are issues with this game, sure, but they are largely forgivable, but that is an impressive level of nit-picking right there.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Some news to put a smile on Jessy's face, and which may well see me returning to SR2:

Quote:

Volition has revealed that it is working on three downloadable content packs for Saints Row 2, the first of which, Ultor Exposed, is due out on 16th April for PS3 and Xbox 360.

"Ultor Exposed is the first of three DLC packages that will be made available for Saints Row 2," DLC producer James Torbit told Eurogamer in an exclusive Ultor Exposed interview today.

"I'll get my brake lines cut if I reveal any details [on the other two], but rest assured that we're hard at work building on the Saints Row 2 experience."

Ultor Exposed consists of three new missions, available any time after the original prologue, and features porn star Tera Patrick as a homie who can join you in the battle to expose the dodgy Ultor corporation.

It will be priced at 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) on Xbox 360 and GBP 7.99 on PlayStation Network.

The pack also includes a new "competitive co-op" diversion, where players gain points by killing gang members, blowing things up and the like, along with six new vehicles, two new maps and extra customisation options.

There are also five new Achievements to unlock worth 125 gamerpoints on Xbox Live, covering a range of objectives.
