[Sauru]

this is a series that knew it was a sub par gta knock off so it tried to go way the hell over the top and that resulted in a POS game. now my kids seem to like them so i have tried them but each time i feel dirty. kinda like jerking off to the sears catalog

[benji]

resulted in a POS game

lmao at these lies

Saints Row II is better than any GTA game to date. Period.

Hell, The Third probably is.

[Jackal]

You saying a crappy game is not crappy doesn't make it not crappy.

[benji]

This I agree with. Saints Row is a great franchise, SR3 was a fantastic game, in some ways better than GTA IV, but its kinda like comparing Jam to 2K. SR4 is too "Jam" for my liking.

[benji]

Jam TE > any 2K game > Jam Reboot Wii

[JaoSming]

Saints row =/= Jam remake. but you get what I mean.

[benji]

Played Crackdown? I haven't but heard lots of good things about the superpowers in that.

Just Cause 2 really benefits from the near superpowers in that.

With Rockstar looking like they're catching up to the standards set by Volition and Red Faction dead I trust in Volition to pull off the gameplay and justify it.

There's been rumors that they'll reboot for next gen with Saints Row V rather than continue the "plot" and IV (and ETD) basically became them pushing everything they wanted to get out of their system this gen.

[JaoSming]

never played crackdown, same issue as SR4, too much unrealistic stuff for me.

Just Cause 2 is grounded in some kind of reality though, you fly because of the grappling hook and chute. Not because fuck it I've got super powers.


Playing through GTA IV again, I think I just like having to deal and "live" in the same world as the AI. Same rules, of physics and all that BS. I mean, in SR3 vanilla, sure each ped isn't going to come up and nutshot me, but they could. I severely doubt each would fly around and ground stomp. Dubstep gun, just too silly for my liking. Blow up thingy, meh. Monster Truck, dammit I want.

[NovU]

Wat's the ranking based on?

I had fun with Crackdown for couple days long time ago. It was an ok title. I was already spoiled by GTA and spiderman then. So it didn't really impress me the way GTA/Fallout did throughout the series(Both GTA/Fallout 1 & 2 were awesome, then 3 shocked). Since then, we've had so many games with open world concept. A lot of them are good like RDR, SR, prototype, infamous, and sleeping dogs. I am still waiting for a title that distant themselves from the list though. It does sound like GTA is trying in that regard. As for SR, I'm not entirely sold yet.

[Sauru]

bully > saints row #anything

Yakuza series > Saints Row & GTA

oh. my. god.



i teared up

"That's not a plan, that's a goal!" is the greatest line in world history.

[benji]

If you thought the console fanboys were currently butthurt over our modding toys, just wait until Monday. I predict rivers of tears and the Internet echoing with their wailing and gnashing of teeth.

[Sauru]

ok i went and preordered saints row yesterday just cause benji seems to like it so much. i figure a guy with so many stats cant be wrong

[benji]

You can play Saints Row: The Third for free this weekend on Steam.

That trailer. I laughed. I cried. It will change my life.

Trailer also explains the too much over the topness I see.
