When you weren't busy jumping out of planes or battling giant soda mascots with a rocket launcher, the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Saints Row series had🐼 plenty of different and varied side activities that players could undertake to gain both EXP and money.
While the new Saints Row R✤eboot looks like it will be taking a more grounded approach to the se𒀰ries - at least compared to a super-po♛wered president fight𓂃ing aliens in the matrix - we cannot help but hope that some of these classic mini-games might appear in future installments of this classic action-adventure sandbox series.
8 Mech Suit Mayhem: Crush and 🎀Burn
It is a ﷽168澳洲幸运🅷5开奖网:recognized fact that Saints Row 4 is a bit silly - your character is the president of the ♍United States, and the game begins with them getting kidnapped by aliens and being put into the Matrix where they also get superpowers. In comparison, 🐷this makes the presence of an alien mech suit less of a surprise. When the world has been destroyed as part of an alien invasion, battle armor makes much more sense.
Mech Suit Ma🐟yhem is exactly what it says on the tin. The aim 🐻of this activity is to cause as much property damage as possible in a mech suit. Rack up enough damage and you get a gold rating. Simple. It might be mindless, chaotic fun, but it sure is entertaining.
7 💃 Fraud: Make Your Money The Old Fashioned Way
In the real world, fraud is a serious crimiꦿnal offense, which can result in both prison time and financial penalties if you are found to have engaged in it. In Saints Row, it is a fun side activity that involves ragdoll physics. A lot of ragdoll physics. The aim of the activity is to injure yourself by pratfalling into moving vehicles, scoring more points the further the car throws you.
Considering that you have a dedicated ragdoll button, you can go flying quite far - this goes to extreme lengths inꦯ Saints Row 4, where combining running into cars at superspeed alongside the aforementioned ragdoll button has the potential to launch you from oneꦦ side of Steelport to the other.
6 🦹 Tig꧑er Escort: Correcting An Old Problem
Like many games from the early 2000s, Saints Row is known for having a𝔍 very✤ immature view of sex work. Take the Escort side activity (which appeared in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, and Saints Row The Third) for example; players must chauffer a celebrity around the city whilst also picking up a sex worker for them, and ensuring the paparazzi does not get too close while the celebrity's "pleasure" gauge rises. This continues until either the celebrity's pleasure gauge is filled or they get bored with the sex worker, demanding a "fresh one". Again, it is pretty juvenile.
Tiger Escort, a related side activity from Saints Row The Third, gets around this objectification with one simple change; the mission replaces the celebrity and the sex worker with a tiger. The mission now is to drive around Steelport while keeping the tiger happy, ensurin🔯g that journalists do not get too close and cause it to maul you.
5 ♛ ꧅ Cat & Mouse: An Interesting Premise
It is a very simple concept; one player takes the role of the mouse and must escape the other player, the cat, who is attempting to hunt them down and kill them. The longer the mouse stays alive, the more points they score. After three minutes (two and a half minutes in Saints Row 4),♋ the cat and mouse switch, and a new rouꦆnd is started. The mouse that has scored the highest amount of points wins.
Introduced in Saints Row 2 and reappearing in Saints Row The Third and Saint Row 4, the main draw of this side activity is the interesting way that it uses the game's multiplayer. Since the series is usually cooperative, having this teamwork inverted and transformed into a competitive game makes for an interesting subversion that is also fun to play.
4 Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax: ETHICAL!
Speaking of cats, the presence of feline-headed Professor Genki and his Japanese-gameshow-inspired side activity "Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax" is what is often pointed to as where the Saints Row games transformed, from a more grounded franchise to one that indulged in over-the-top comedy. Other things people like to point to from this time? 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marital-aid Baseball Bats. However, th﷽at makes this particular side activity all the more iconic.
The aim of this side activity is to progress through🌜 a course while avoiding traps and killing enemies to gain points, all within a time limit. By shooting signs that appear du♕ring the activity, various effects can be triggered, including increases to the time limit, bonus points, and shooting certain signs will cause the player to heal - since the normal methods of healing are deactivated during the activity.
3 Septic Avenger: Everybody Poo♑ꦜps
While Saints Row The Third is generally regarded as when the franchise decided to move in a🌊 wackier direction, there are still plenty of strange and weird side-activities in Saints Ro🐽w 2. Septic Avenger is definitely one of them.
The aim of this activity is similar to Mech Suit Mayhem - cause as much property damage and destruction a𝐆s you can to rack up points, a set total of which is needed ꧟to complete the activity. Where the two activities differ though is in the method of destruction. Mech Suit Mayhem gives you a mech, in Septic Avenger you are using the sewage cannon of a... septic truck? To spray buildings and people with sewage? Oh my.
2 Blazin: Gotta Go Fast 𓆏
This activity is simple, but it does make sense when you can run at super-speed. Blazin is the Saints Row 4 version of the Saints Row 2 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Saints Row The Third side-activity Trail Blazing. It is a side activty where you have to run through the Virtual Steelport at superspeed, tꦑrying to navigate a series of checkpoints in as short a time as possible. Green orbs guide the player, and also give a speed boost when collected, while running 🅠into a red firewall will decrease the amount of time available to complete the activity.
While this activity is n𝓡ot unique to Saints Row 4, it is an interesting use of the superpowers given to the character by the si💝mulation they are stuck in, and a fun update of what could otherwise be seen as just another driving game.
1 ꦐ ✱ Sad Panda Skyblazing: Freefalling
Available as part of the Genkibowl 7 DLC for Saints Row The Third, Sad Panda Skyblazing is one of the more unique activities in the game. You start the activity by jumping out of a🃏 helicopter above Steelport, and then earn points by flying through hoops, touching balloons that say "Ethical", and killing mascots, with the activity endin꧃g if you touch the ground.
While the other activities included in Genkibowl 7 were p🧔redominantly redresses of existing side games, Sky Panda Skydiving was instead an original activity - one that adds✃ a fun twist on the opening skydive of Saints Row The Third.
