I pretty much bankrupt myself purchasing as many stores as possible. This comes back nicely to how I play Saints Row: The Third. There’s a lot more value in them that meets the eye. I find it odd though how most people just… don’t buy the properties at all. You have to buy the Airport Crib separately, and that’s another 10K.
But then there’s other properties (marked in brown on the map) that often don’t even have real bonuses – for example, you can purchase the local airport for $50k, which gives you 5k per hour, but you can also buy places like crack dens, a steel factory and the hospital, which only give you a small bonus in your hourly income. There’s another side though, how properties are split – you have green stores – places you can enter and get customization like Rim Jobs (vehicles), Friendly Fire (guns), Rusty’s Needle (tattoos) and so on. Most properties in Steelport are actually pretty cheap if you put it in a real life setting, but most of the time, you’re looking at about 5k minimum for a single property.
Some of the stores are pretty awesome though.īut again, I can see why. The buying of properties is even more of a side thing, outside of buying gun shops and garages, even if it does add to your overall completion of the game.
The getting rich, buying tons of weapons and upgrading yourself into an unkillable monster is really more of a side thing. I mean, I can see why, that’s what Saints Row is for – shooting people, destroying other gangs and being ludicrously over the top. Whenever I played with aabicus, or any of the people I’ve destroyed Steelport with, they’ve never really bought many properties, they just go around shooting people. But it turns out, that’s not exactly a common tactic. Of course, the first thing I did in my old yet new save was start buying properties. It kinda makes sense, aabicus is the ‘Playa’ or the Boss or whatever you want to call the protagonist, and I’m his badass sidekick who has a penchant for running enemies over. In aabicus’s game (because he always hosts), we’ve already fucked up the Morningstar gang and are working on doing other stuff as well, but that mission progress was only progress for aabicus, not me.
It was from my Co-Op game with aabicus, but because of the weird way that SRTT works, my character technically hasn’t progressed at all apart from appearing in Steelport. Now of course, if you want to change your character appearance, you can do it without worry.The other day, I picked up an old Saints Row: the Third save and started playing it.
Some of the side activities are finished, it was necessary in process to make the infinite respect, what that does in this game for those who don't know, it allows you to play the story missions, if you don't have enough respect points, you will need to do more activities across the map, since I know how you can make it infinite and it's not a cheat for those who wonder, you will need to play as much activities until you reach 99 respect points, after that, the purple status will show infinite, it is a day playthrough to complete this task, it's not compulsory but you will need as much respect points you can get so that you can progress through Saints Row 2 story mode, now like I said in the primary section, you will not start at the beginning of the game, that means the character is created, is customized, the prologue and the second mission after are completed and the map is revealed.
