It saddens me to see saint's row go in this direction, I absolutely adored one and two. The 'ridiculous' attribute to the game now is just a downward spiral to the series entirely. I thought their intent was to compete with grand theft auto, but that's obviously not the case, at least anymore. What do you guys think about this?

[schnavolda]

they never had what it takes to truly compete with gta, so they needed to find their niche. it's a pity that they went too over the top with the humor. this trailer looks so damn childish, but i would have probably enjoyed a game like that 10 or 15 years ago. i

[i am a snail]

are we future now? what?

[Goon_Panda]

AND... It's exactly the same game as SR3, except for the storyline.

[PoppySquidJr]

This looks literally exactly like Saints Row 3 plus maybe 4 mods.

[Goat]

I never really did like Saint's Row 3's graphics

[XImortalDEATHX]

3 was a big disappointment, this looks no different.

[madsser]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. SR4 was amazing. So good. Such retarded humor that you had to laugh. God that game was good :D

I assume you mean SR3 considering 4 isn't out yet.
I really liked SR3 myself, but I feel it doesn't even compare to SR2 still. SR2 had the best balance of goofyness with enough to take it seriously, and it was the only one to compete with GTA with me. It had SO much to do, and they took most of it out in SR3, shrunk the map, made it less interesting, and made every character unlikeable.

[InsideManager]

Luft is pretty correct, I liked 1 and 2 a lot, I even liked SR2 more than GTA at the time, it felt more free and alive to me, there were more opportunities for goofy yet realistic fun. I got SR3 played it for about an hour, upgraded my weapons to a bunch of retarded shit that fired octopusses and crap like that and the game was just ruined, you couldn't even downgrade the weapons back to normal so I just gave up on it, haven't played it since.

[Goat]

and made every character unlikeable.
Idk, dat sasha grey

[Antwan]

The route most games take?

[PoppySquidJr]

Idk, dat sasha grey

Viola Dewynter was alright, but I was referring to the pre-existing characters. They made Shaundi a total bitch when she was really fucking cool in the first game, they made pierce just more awkward and cocky, etc. etc.

You hit the nail on the head,
couldn't agree more about Shaundi. Also, how could they 'kill off' Gat.

[Fecal Face]

These games are fucking stupid now.

I refuse to start SR3 and I will never bat an eye at this game.

[Hobbs]

Yes this trailer does look very weird, i never got into this game, but i always thought it looked sick, i think with this trailer... my likeness for this is dead

[Ayreon]

only played sr3

it was ridiculous but I enjoyed it.

Funny at times. The gameplay was pretty fun too. Near the end I did feel it was played out. Beat the game and probably wont play it again.


It was on sale on steam for 10 bucks. I'd probably get this when it goes on sale again
these games are coming out to fast too. And they're just pumping it with a bunch of shit to claim you can do all these mini games and what not.

Play SR2 now. It has WAY better customization, a way more followable story, funnier side missions, really everything about it is better.

yup. this. I liked sr2 better than GTA IV too, gta was too boring for me, had so much fun in sr2

[Hitmanx123]

YALL UGLIES ARE UGLY, GET IT FOR THE BOOBS..THE BEWBZ!!!

[EmmitBrown]

i got SR3 cause 2 looked so good, but it was nothing more than gimmicky novelties. its fun and entertaining, but so is "just cause". it never felt like a real game just a bunch of fun/funny stuff you can do. it will never actually compete with gta

[NotedDerk]

It easily could have if they stuck with how the first two games were made, luft summed it up perfectly. If you recall before the first saints row came out, it was all about competing against grand theft auto, since it was new and the same type of game. They were finding their own methods to make it stand out against grand theft auto without seeming like the exact same thing, but now it's resulted in the fucking trailer trash of a game you see above.

[Amphan]

are we future now? what?

Maybe, maybe not. The press release makes me lean to the latter...

"In the next open-world installment of Saints Row, Deep Silver Volition continues the story of the Third Street Saints by elevating their status to the highest level - the leaders of the free world. In Saints Row IV, the head honcho of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States. But the Saints are just getting started. Now the larger-than-life insanity of the Saints series gets a new twist with a catastrophic alien invasion, and the aliens have transported the Saints to a bizarro-Steelport simulation. Wield gargantuan superpowers and fight to free humanity from alien granddaddy Zinyak's mental grasp. Escape the simulation that's trapped the Saints crew, or die trying.

Saints Row IV lets players delve into an arsenal of alien weaponry and technology that will turn each Saint into an ultimate entity of destruction. Utilize out-of-this-world superpowers to fight all the way to the top. With intensified action and enhanced customization, players can use their newfound superpowers and leap over buildings, outrun the fastest sports cars, or send enemies flying with telekinesis in the greatest, most insane installment of Saints Row yet.

Save the world, Saints Style."

That sounds so ridiculous
and bad

Two weeks away from release and they've went from "messed up" straight into "fucked up" (http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/saints_row_4/news/saints_row_4_gets_a_million_dollar_special_edition .html).

[TheMaster]

I tried to enjoy the campaign the best i could of SR3. But after i finished, it is nothin more to me than a game i bring to a friends house and blow shit up!

anyone who spends a million dollars on this deserves to get shot.

[Goon_Panda]

haha I don't know about someone being shot...being stupid enough to entertain such a thing does the trick. This edition of SR IV make the Grid 2 Mono Edition (http://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/staying-in/video-games/grid-2-mono-edition-most-1922760) look like a bargain.

[PoppySquidJr]

You guys don't understand business, do you? This million dollar pack is valued at approx. 650,000 if smartly purchased, and Deep Silver would make great profit if someone were to buy it. But HERE'S THE CATCH. They don't EXPECT anyone to buy it, they aren't that stupid. They likely haven't paid for ANY of this stuff. If anyone decides to actually buy the pack, they can easily just pay for the stuff right then and there and take the profit. If they don't, who cares? They've already done their job, and that is MARKETING. You know how many sites and discussions this pack has popped up on/in? That's their job, they did it well.

[emericaridr11]

on the news they said if you find Bigfoot they will give you a Million dollars..... has to be by march 2014

this is true too

just find bigfoot guys

Well, I obviously wasn't thinking about this when I made the post and linked the story. I admit, marketing...business...it's not my forte. I know some things here and there related to it, but I'm no expert on it.

I just saw the story, and thought it was relevant to the discussion. I wasn't thinking about how many other forums have discussed this very thing on the Internet and I CERTAINLY wasn't thinking about how much it would cost if purchased under better circumstamces. On the other hand, I don't think anyone would purchase this anyway. The only person who would buy this would be part of the 1% who (more than likely) is slightly out of touch with reality. And if someone did buy this, someone might run a story on who bought it, just like these two stories. I haven't heard a single thing since they broke, and I'm not holding my breath about them going any further.

I totally agree with everything you said, Luft. I'm just being honest that I wasn't thinking about these things when I made the post.

i think looks realistic enough

what m7 said.


anyone dl the demo? i wanna see it but cant bring myself to dl it. its like the porn in the woods thats all wet and moldy, minus the class

[mattyman512]

saints row all I know is about gang warfare! Saints Row 1 is better than GTA 4 and will remain the best saints row I've played. It got boring when the introduced the superhuman type characters!

Still enjoy the mayhem challenges tho but if you want to have superhuman abilities then play super hero games or prototype as saint row will end up like it anyway!

[Goat]

i think looks realistic enough

10/10 would bang

[XImortalDEATHX]

The reason these games keep getting so ridiculous is because you're still in the coma at the end of SR1, dreaming up all these characters that never existed, except gat, and in your mind, you can talk, and have superpowers, and be the president, etc.

Just speculating here.

[NotedDerk]

That very well could be the plot to whatever the 5th game is going to be called. I was watching angry joe's review on Saints Row 4 and he said it was pretty fun, even for how wacky it is and he read somewhere that the 4th is going to be the last of the, forgive me for using this word, ridiculousness. Next gen Saints Row might just be pretty good.

Here is a quote from the design director.

"We're definitely considering Saints Row IV sort of the end of that saga of this character and the Saints as they are. So if there's any more future Saints Rows - which you know we always hope there will be, we hope there's fans for future games like that - they will probably continue in a different direction."

[XImortalDEATHX]

and he read somewhere that the 4th is going to be the last of the, forgive me for using this word, ridiculousness.
That's a pretty accurate word to describe it.
