Priceless.

My dad learned that pretty quickly...hilarity ensued because my dad likes screwing around with mechanics like that. He kept nose diving over fences.

Yesterday I got myself a BMX bike after watching this video....I sucked at doing that.

Or actually, that's a different one, but same general idea.

Okay, funniest death I've had is taking a dirt bike and smashing at a horribly high speed into a light post, wrapping my arms and legs around the pole in the most comedic way I've ever seen while "WASTED" gets pasted onto the screen. I was dying of laughter after that.

So, I just went to do yoga on top of that mountain, and it started raining and thundering before I got to the top....So, I was doing this so-called relaxing yoga in a pouring rainstorm, WITH my IFruit in an IFruit Dock, and candles lit...was kinda hilarious.

GTA: tried to bring back as much as possible from their most feature-rich (and loved) game.

Saints Row: Did exactly the opposite and brought back everything from the last game and left their most original games (in mechanics and features) to die. Apparently the publishers' fault. Had to vent this.

The only thing that worries me about this game (and future next-gen games) is the trend of putting increasing effort into the cinematics of the game when there's already an industry for that.

If you've played Saints Row 2, its customisation features trumps even girls' games, and some of its mechanics put other games to shame. GTA V, though, just makes me feel good in that they tried to put in as many features as possible and make it look fantastic, especially considering how boring the last game was. Saints Row 3 and 4 have average graphics, scrapped everything from Saints Row 2 and feel the same as each other.

Trying to steal a fighter jet, died God only knows how many times. My strategy is to steal a plane from LSIA, bail near Zancudo, 'chute in, land near a jet, get in, and go. So far the closest I've gotten is beginning to get in before I get wasted.

I'm not giving up. I think part of the problem is I'm jumping too high and pulling the chute too early, giving them enough time to raise the alarm.

Try driving onto the base via the back gate on the western side of the base. There should be some easily stolen aircraft both in revetments near the runway.

The thing was that SR4 is essentially just a dlc that they expanded in a hurry, and it hardly even felt like a saints row game.

Here's hoping that Volition decide to make a sequel that combines the best of SR1+2+3 into something that holds true to the street gang element while retaining its signature wackiness instead of ramping up the goofy to 150 again.

I recently bought it, only to find out the console my son gave me to play it doesn't have enough memory to actually play it.

So far I've been having a blast in the game. Only problem is I need a lot of money early game because guns.
I've settled on Street races, taxi cab missions, and robbing gas stations.
Until the stock market is up, it's what I gotta do.

They'd better. Someone compared SR4 to Crackdown, as one of things you could do in the game felt like collecting orbs scattered around the map.

I need to do that at some point.

I had to use cheats to get it—one for invincibility, one for explosive bullets (fucking tanks), and one for a helicopter or plane. I actually managed to get it on one of my first non-cheat runs, but I crashed when trying to land and there were a few times I thought the engine was going to quit on me.
