As you know, you earn a certain amount of money each in-game day for each neighbourhood that The Saints control. A couple of weeks ago u/CommyGT released The Mean Streets which is a mod/romhack for Saints Row 1 that is designed to make the game more difficult. When I went to the forum thread and read through the changelog, something stood out to me.

-Until you [beat all of the gangs and become Julius' right-hand], you have no access to the Saint's funds. Your crib's safes will hold no money until then. You will struggle.
-Hoods now generate insane amounts of cash. Too bad you won't see it until the end.

Obviously this makes the game harder since you won't have any consistent income until the end of the game. You'll have to earn money completely on your own. At the same time, Commy raises a good point. The 'city income' in SR2 onwards makes sense because you are the boss but in SR1 until the epilogue, you're a high-level street thug at best. There isn't any apparent lore reason why you earn 'tribute' from controlled neighbourhoods. Its understandable from a pure gameplay standpoint and most people won't say no to free money but there still isn't any real explanation. I'm not referring to where the money itself comes from, but why the Playa is somehow entitled to it.

I don't know how organized The Saints are in terms of hierarchy (They're a street gang, not the Mafia) but its entirely possible that the Playa actually does rise through the ranks and is put in charge of their own crew as The Saints grow larger but again, this isn't shown or explained in-game, unless you count having more 'homie' slots but that's more of a gameplay feature than anything else.

To be honest, I don't think the devs thought about this too much, nor they expect Commy or myself to think about it either. Even then, the hood income is easy to ignore. You can just not collect it. I just wanted to post this and see what everybody else's thoughts are.

I know that the Co-op in the original SR3 was kinda bad since you had to have the same framerate or else you would disconnect almost right away.

I was wondering if SR3: Remastered fixed Co-op so you don't get disconnected all the time when just trying to play with a friend.

I prefer the original over the remastered and just wondering if the original coop online still works on steam

Yo wassup , im gonna start the platinum for this game soon and i was looking for someone to help me with DOUBLE TROUBLE trophy which consists in playing 3 hours in coop.. we can just leave it afk or grind some money. Thanks in advance.

He can do both. Maybe a little too much black, but he listens to The Krunch the most.

Playing through SR1 on Xenia and when I get to a tagging location after having done about half of them there is no prompts. It just starts filling up the wanted meter with no way for me to fill out the tag besides guessing what the prompts are. Anyone run into this bug?

Edit: Update, as of now it appears to just be two specific spots. Well guess I cannot complete tagging in SR1. Edit 2: Out of curiosity I just hit A 6 times and it worked for both and as of now gave me the credit for them.

1. Music changer
   
2. Arcade minigames
   
3. Underground exploration
   
4. Yacht docking
   
5. A bartender
   
6. A door
   
7. A bedroom

I’ve seen many comments saying this looks like a T-rated game, I cannot understand how. They have obviously not explored El Dorado.

My grandma bought me SR3 special edition but there is no signs of special content? Also I think the disc should have the red border around it like the box too, but that is missing.
