Saints Row 2 was pretty fun, this game imo is a bit too over the top like its went from ridiculous to wtf?!?
I can see those animations for the fighting moves getting really repetitive after about an hour.
It would need some good missions and a story to keep me interested any longer than a few hours.
EDIT: TBH I actually liked Saints Row better than GTA 4 because it never felt like a chore and some of the missions where actually fun unlike GTA 4 which did feel like a chore, although i actually liked Ballad of Gay Tony better than Lost and Damned and GTA 4.
Yeah the missions were pretty aggravating as when you wanted to do some thing the fucking phone would ring and you nearly always had to sort that issue out which made me feel tied down into what the game wants... Kinda like that annoying girlfriend were it's me me me.
How ever I played GTA 4 for many more hours than i did SW2 as SW2 once i got in a car or some thing i wished i never had done as i am not in to point and drive games. Which made me think i was driving around in one of those cheap remote control cars were the front wheels were fake.
Stop being so serious guys. FFS, Saints Row is meant to be insane! If you'd have taken the time to play parts 1 & 2 you would know this.
Saints Row is all about mindless violence. If that's not your thing, avoid the franchise.
EDIT: FFS, the guy talking you through the gameplay even says it's ridiculous and over the top!!! What did you expect?
Crappy excuse for lame quality while driving lol. If they want over the top i'm good for it but bad gameplay in not excusable.
A lot of people always compare saints row to GTA,but they are really a different type of game in my opinion. In terms of gameplay they are both similar,open environment,free roam and missions etc. But Saints row has always been famous for being the over the top gangster stuff while GTA is nothing like that.
Saints row and 2nd game was quite good from when i played it. But jeez it has some moments to make me laugh with the whole gangster,ghetto talk etc.
Yes they are but still don't mean ya have to have crappy driving. One think i love doing in free roaming games is driving and to me it's a bit part and a big deal.
right when i saw the giant purple dildo and terrible driving physics I was like ohhhhh boy
Looks like some laughs could be had but like JC1 reasons and above reasons i will not get it. Maybe one day they will improve the driving like in JC they did in JC2 although not perfect by all means but you can tell by a mile they were improving it.
All i can say is hurry up GTA5
.. And hopefully they will get out to make missions for games once again.
In my opinion Saint Row 2 was a little bit better than GTA IV, of course I bought the game after 2 years of it's release so it was "patched up" quite good.
I think I'll do the same thing with Saint Row 3, I'll wait for the patches first.
How could anyone says that Saint Row 2 wasn't fun ???
It was kinda fun till i got out side and started to drive which drove me crazy and killed what fun there possible could of been. So i ended up hating it for not getting it right.. If i wanted crappy driving game i would go buy a ZX128 or a comadore from the 80's\90's.
