If you didn't realize that after the first trailer where you jump in and out of a falling airplane, you are kind of dumb, honestly.

>>119551888

>I was promised something that could beat GTA

The only people who ever promised that were people on /v/, dipshit.

Saints Row was always the poor man's GTA. Why would the third rehash be different from the first two?

Protip: Saints Row is just a timewaster while you'd wait for new GTA installations

I loved it and got all the achievements very quickly due to how much I was playing it. I've since moved on to other games, but I'm monitoring Easter Egg discussion.

Why can't you just have fun OP?

>no depth or feeling
but that's what everyone wanted right? that's what saints row IS.

Never bothered with this shitty gta ripoff of a series

>>119551888
>I was promised something that could beat GTA, but instead I got a game that felt like it was manufactured by Mattel, with absolutely no depth or feeling to any of your actions.

So it's on par with GTA then?

>thinking it would be like gta
>not buying the first games or watching and youtube videos of them
Your fault retard.

Of course it wasn't like GTA
Because guess what!

It's not GTA!

>>119552181
It wishes.

I've never liked Saints Row games. They just feel like shitty GTA rip-offs with poor gameplay and an overblown sense of humour that essentially yells at you "IM FUNNY, SEE? LAUGH YOU ASSHOLE!"

>>119552109
Why can't I have fun? Because retardation when you're surrounded by retardation isn't fun. What's fun is driving down the streets of Vice City in a tank ruining people's Sunday shopping because it's retardation in a normal setting. What isn't fun is driving a tank down the road when 5 pull up behind you during the morning commute.

>mfw even Volition knows Saints Row will never be on the same caliber as GTA so they just go nuts with it


Either way some sucker on this earth will buy it.

SR3 for me:
Game play: Awesome, totally kick ass, loved every second of it, so much weapons and shit

Story line: Boring piece of bullshit, wasn't able to force myself to give a fuck
Also not nearly enough cut scenes..

But I think it's fantastic. I like the gunplay and the character's banter is quite funny. Shandi, Computer girl and the pimp with the voicebox were hilarious.

>>119551888
maybe you should lower your standards for games where you beat people up a pimp cane.

So, I've managed to 99% this game. the remaining 1%? Improssible due to having beaten the game and taken over all the territory, so I can no longer do things such as killing a number of gang specialists, or stealing STAG vehicles for the auto thefts.

Can't wait for the mission replay mod to come out so hopefilly it will reset flags that lets them spawn, because fuck if I feel like going through this game again just for one fucking percent that's now impossible. What the hell was Volition thinking?

Also, i'm sorely tempted to pirate this, despite having bought it, just for all the DLC thats on the disc but locked until they decide to announce it.

>>119551888
>it was a game worth pirating
>it was garbage

If it was garbage, it wasn't worth pirating really.

>>119552258
Right, it's GTA's uglier less interesting cousin.

>>119552258
Despite the fact that it wishes it was more than anything in the world.

I had tons of fun with it. Honestly, its my GOTY.

Its that rare game that knows how to let the player have fun without having its dick in your face the whole time.

>>119552389

GTA IV went down the shitter when they decided "OH HEY GUISE WE MAKE ALL SRZ GAEMS NOW FROM TEH GTA"

>>119552502
>GTA IV went down the shitter

>opinions

Saint's Row is just SO RANDUM xD and if you don't like it you don't like fun!

*holds up spork*

>>119552333
That's pretty much how all adults feel about this.

If you like SR, you are either underage, bydlo or a fratboy.

>buy saints row 3
>first 15 minutes
>they kill johnny gat

havent played since

Saint's Row 3 is definitely better than GTA 4. It's exactly what an urban, violent sandbox game should be: surreal, ridiculous, self-aware, over the top fun, with good gameplay and a sense of humour.

If you really want surreal, ridiculous, pretentious, over the top melodrama, with terrible gameplay and a horrilbe sense of humour, then GTA 4 is your game. If you value story over gameplay, no matter how convoluted and boring that story is, then GTA is your game.

The only redeeming feature of GTA 4 was the Gay Tony DLC. And Saint's Row 3 is basically a whole game's worth of that, but with more of the good stuff, and less of the "I wish I was a jade-colored glasses character trope" vibe.

>>119552502
dont be a faggot, they could have been rolling in cash by rehashing their other games and environments in hd, but no they actually wanted to try and do something they wanted to do, not something that would guarantee success.
and all the hyperactive kids who loved the first games got turned off by it, and the series is all the more better for not having that influencing it.
so fuck you, they're goddamn pioneers.

I enjoyed it, got a good 20 hours+ out of it but they could have done the storyline way better

Then MW3 is the best game in the world right?

>>119552502
There simply wasn't anything better at that time.. if you have pile of shit and pile of shit with a cherry on top, the cherry is still better than nothing i guess

>/v/ doesn't like Saints Row 3

Well it does make sense.
/v/ hatesfunafter all

I am not impressed by this game, at all.

Not just the fact that, as a sandbox, it's lacking a lot (although this is probably the genre's exhaustion problem), but that in the end it is basically just like any other FPS: go to some place to kill waves of enemies/vehicles.

It doesn't matter that missions are incredibly over the top and grandiose, the mechanic is always the same. The only thing they manage is to make set pieces a boring routine. It kills the excitement after the first minutes: if everything is an explosive battle, then nothing is.

And it tries too hard to be funny (failing considerably).


Every character has the same sarcastic, bitchy personality. All conversations sound like 14 year olds talking on their way to a slumber party: "You're an asshole" "No you" "Oh, you two get a room" "HAHAAHA"

>>119552925
Saints Row 3 is GTA if it was fun

It's not a bad game but it kind of feels like forced fun. Instead of designing clever gameplay mechanics they focussed too much on over the top context.

>SR2 was fucking awesome, awesome customization
>Expect improvements in SR3
>Less customization
>Less missions
>Less activities
>Less city
>Less fun
>MOAR RANDOM
>MOAR GRAPHICS
>MOAR DEAD HOMIES
For fuck's sake, if this is the trend SR4 is going to take place in your back yard, and you can choose to wear a hot dog suit or business attire. Major letdown, especially killing the only good character from saint's row in the first 20 minutes.

>>119552995
The only gta i ever got past the first city was gta 3, and im pretty sure thats because nastalga pushed me to get to the same part i got to when i was younger.

>>119552775
I know

they used him to hype the game up knowing everyone loved him, I expected him to play a very significant role in the story, the last remaining saint, the series badass, the loveable character who is on par with your own in terms of importance, and they kill him off just like that in the most pathetic excuse of a death scene ever, I wasnt even sure he was dead it was so bad

thought lol volition you fucking assholes and turned the game off

>>119553044
If anything, SR3 made me appreciate SR2 more.

>save shaundi at the statue
>credits roll

Where the fuck are the other half of the story missions?

>>119552834
The game just shits out "ridiculous" scenarios that's essentially easy as fuck 3rd person shooting and horrible driving mechanics

Also Steelport is one of the most lifeless boring sandboxes ever. Just Cause 2 does everything this game does, and so much better.

>>119552775

Sure, why the fuck not?

But in terms of GTA vs SR.

SR is the cheap, Straight-to-DVD junk you'd watch with some stoner friends and $30 worth of snacks on a Sunday night.

GTA is that award winning picture you'll hear about months after it hits the theaters. The trend-maker.

Hah! Take that Violation.

>>119553066
What's even worse is that his death didn't make any sense at all.

Right? So he's going to seize the plane and take it back to Stillwater? Okay... But if he's going to take the plane, why do Shaundi and the Boss have to try to escape? Surely it would make more sense for them to help? Or for them to escape together. And if Shaundi's comments about Gat not knowing how to fly the thing are true, wouldn't it make more sense for the boss to stick around because he knows how to fly a fucking plane?

It's basically GTA San Andreas if you sucked all the fun, satire and irony out of the game and replaced it with a try-hard sense of depth and holier-than-thou preaching.

>>119552917

It has a sense of humour not because of the shitty unfunny jokes, but because it's self aware. It knows that it's fucking stupid, and it's not going to hide it.

Sure is. Already got about 100 hours in.

>>119553399
its a similar story with Josh burk (the actor), whilst I don't care about him, they used him in advertising to add depth to the game, yet all he does is appear in one cutscene and another later on involving S.T.A.G

>>119553399
This is the one thing I didn't get either. I can fly a plane, why the hell wouldn't I go with Gat? What sense does it make for Shaundi and me to jump out of a plane when we have no idea where we are?

>>119553790
2.0 is good, but it's not higher because I play too aggressively. That, and lag compensation is a fucking bitch.

I play kill confirmed for the XP grind. When I reach 10th prestige I'll play more SnD and Domination.

>>119553630
I never got the impression of the game preaching to me. It seems like they took most crime flicks and made it into a game.


>It's basically GTA San Andreas if you sucked all the fun, satire and irony out of the game

It was all there. 2deep4u I guess.

>>119553630
>It's basically GTA San Andreas if you sucked all the fun, satire and irony out of the game and replaced it with a try-hard sense of depth and holier-than-thou preaching.

Wow. This is the worst post I've seen in a long time

I was most disappointed with this game when I got into a plane and saw how small the city was. Not only that but it was completely empty because the game only loads things that are 20 metres around you. The only remotely fun thing I could do was jump out of the plane.

>/v/ doesn't like Saints Row because of its story

Are you all for fucking real? What did you expect, a classic tale of heroism and despair?

>>119554106
SR tries too hard to not take itself seriously and just looks stupid.

>game sucks cause its not realistic enough general.

Fuck you guys. The fact that its so over the top and doesn't take itself seriously is the entire selling point.

The difficulty only went up slightly compared to SR2 and I'm still upset of what they did with Shaundi and Pierce but I still have fun with it.

Also. I know the cheats are there but it DOESN'T mean you HAVE to use them. I can't get into a single co-op game without "THIS GUY IS USING CHEAT CODES!"

>>119553908
>>119553928

It was all there, but it was all shoved so far down your throat that it was unbearable, so it stopped being satire and irony, and became preaching. It wasn't just clever little background characters or ideas, it was plastered all over storylines, it was directly referenced, it was non-stop and impossible to ignore. It stopped being intelligent and started being "ALRIGHT, I FUCKING GET IT, I GOT IT THE FIRST TIME".

People who say GTA 4 is deep are the same people who think Scarface is deep.

>>119554106
/v/ hates everything

At least Saints Row doesn't force you to go bowling every 5 minutes

>>119553973
So much this.

I imagine it's why all the vehicles drive slow as shit compared to SR2. Give me a Superiore from SR2, and I would probably lap a jet mode VTOL in a race around steelport.

>>119554197
Nobody has ever said that ever you mad babby

Game sucks because it's fundamentally flawed

>>119554236
Sounds like you're spergin out on miniscule details. Never got any of those impressions your getting, was all a damn fun time for me.

Also Scarface was never deep.

I just notice something in SR3 compared to SR2
No one defends theirself. I mean punch any civilian. It's pretty rare that you will get a non gang or non police npc that fights back.

ITT: everyone misses the point and or lies.

I have a question for everyone in here that didn't like SR3. What did you think of SR2?

I hated SR 1, loved SR 2 and am still thinking of getting this one

>>119554281
>force you

Neither does GTA IV, and at least that game lets you turn off the god damn phone

>>119554236
Nobody says gta 4 is deep, what the fuck is wrong with you? Why would that even matter? Sounds to me like you're just autismal really

>>119554566
I actually played the multiplayer in sr2.
I'm upset they didn't bring it back.

>>119554566
I fucking loved SR2.

SR3 is just incomplete.

>>119552868
This. All of this.

>>119554514
The point was that the SR3 is a piece of shit. And that seems to be the general consensus here.

Only we get out obligatory GTA vs SR see-saw arguments.

GTA is still superior, I'm sorry this is objective truth.

Honestly? I pirated this game and had a blast on the singleplayer. I heard great things about the coop, so I shelled out the money for a legit copy. Needless to say, if you don't have a friend on Steam with the game ready to coop, you're out of luck. Steam matchmaking doesn't work.

I regret the purchase and wish I had my money back.

>>119554236
GTA4 is the deepest game of this generation.

The things is, if you just watch trailers, you'll think the game's trying too hard.

If you actually play it, you'll see its a satire of popular culture and video games of today.

GTA4 just has poor storytelling in general. Gameplay is a step backwards, too.

Same could be said of SR3, actually.

So I guess Saints Row is a GTA clone.

>>119554197
I think the problem is that there wasn't as much content as was in SR2. SR2 was chock-full of shit to watch, do and fuck about with. SR3 had crazy, OTT and generally fun-as-fuck shit to play with too, but felt a bit lacking in terms of coherence for me. Mostly because of the whole 'missions are activities in disguise' shit for me, personally. It was a bad move and I preferred having creative activities scattered around, but the missions themselves being full of awesome-ness like SR2.

Plus, the gangs weren't fleshed out enough like SR2. That was a bummer.

>>119554590
but Roman will be upset if you don't do when he asks you do to go bowling.

>>119554656
>SR3 is just incomplete.
They're going to make a fuck ton of DLCs for it. And suckers are going to buy it

>>119554737
GTA does it so much better

>>119551888

Saints Row 2 was better.

SR3 was ok but had lots of shitty missions.

Stun locking zombies etc.
the finalmission was shit.

I have not played SR3, but SR2 is superior to GTA4.

That said, GTA: San Andreas was superior to SR2.

I don't think anyone defending SR in this thread really thinks that SR is better than all the GTA games, just GTA4, and it's not like GTA4 is an amazingly brilliantly wonderful game

>>119554831
GTA has too much drama and grimdark.

I think what volition are trying to capture is what San Andreas did so fucking well.

>>119554656
>>119554861
so basically how SR 2 was way more awesome than 1, doesn't go for 2 & 3? Shame man, guess I'll pick this up when it's cheap then

>>119554861
As shit the final mission was the background music was fitting

>>119554769
>but Roman will be upset if you don't do when he asks you do to go bowling.

meh, who cares, if you just ignore calls they'll soon stop calling altogether and you're free to enjoy the game on your own

>Kill a gang leaders girlfriend

>He comes back anyway.
>Kill a ....well fuck you had to literally kill the Samedi leader to get your point across.

>Threaten to kill a gang leader in SR3
>"NO I'LL GIVE YOU TWO CHOICES JUST DONT KILL ME ;_;"

That feel when a friend keeps telling you to buy the game because it's awesome and I ended up having buyer's remorse

Why was the driving so fucking bad

Holy shit worst powerslide in videogames, there is literally no momentum in anything

I agree. My problem with Saint's Row is that it just tries so hard to be silly, that silly, random things don't stand out anymore.
It gets old quite quickly.

I laughed my ass of in GTAIV when a random Jew tried to cross the street, got run over twice and when the ambulance came, they left as soon as they saw him. It's like watching Youtube videos of people getting hurt for 5 hours. No matter how spectacular, you just get sick of it.

>>119551982
I realized it when they made a single trailer about a groun kick.

>>119554718
>Doesn't have a friend to play SR3 with.
That is just sad.

>>119554718
Steam matchmaking works fine, the problem is nobody sets their games to "open to all". I created one, and I swear I'd get a "<their name here> wants to join your game" prompt every 5 minutes.

But really, the problem is two player max. If more people could join, I'd imagine more people would be willing to leave it open instead of just cooping with a bro.

>/v/ hates videogames and stories

>It's basically GTA San Andreas if you sucked all the fun, satire and irony out of the game and replaced it with a try-hard sense of depth and holier-than-thou preaching.

There are still satire and irony, but it's more subtle than earlier. You have to go seek it out for yourself rather than getting it served on a plate. As for fun, you and Rockstar obviously don't share the same sense of humor, apparent by this next quote:

>It has a sense of humour not because of the shitty unfunny jokes, but because it's self aware. It knows that it's fucking stupid, and it's not going to hide it.

Stupid ... Just isn't fun anymore, if you're older than 8 or not retarded.

>>119555193
>people keep making posts like these
>they're never true

Saints Row 1 was GTA after a night on the town.
Saints Row 2 was GTA after a big fucking party.
Saints Row 3 was GTA after getting fired for coming to work drunk and losing the money to pay for his apartment and having a fever dream in the gutter.

LOLSORANDUM is not quality humor. SR2 managed to be funny without resorting to that. How hard did you laugh the first time you drove around spraying sewage on people and buildings? That beats the everliving fuck out of killing cops with a giant dildo.

>>119555193
>DURRR I DIDENT RED DA THRED HURRRR

>>119551888
I was never a big fan of GTA to start with, though I did enjoy fighting the army in 3 and thought San Andreas looked pretty good.

I tried 4 and didn't find it that appealing. I heard Saints Row II was more like San Andreas so I tried it and, while the style of humor was refreshing and novel at the beginning, it started to wear thin around the fourth mission.

>>119555153

That's the problem. I have mine set to open all the time. I've been matched with people twice, and both lived within a 50 mile radius of my town, based on their steam profile.

haha, that sucks for you OP. I had fun and got my moneys worth out of it.

hahahahaha

I'll see all you niggers in GTA5 generals

Trying to compare GTA (4 in this case) to Any SR game is basically comparing the Godfather or Scarface to some adrenaline pumped action movie(I.e Fast n Furious) you see now a days.

>>119555153
Wasn't there a SR2 mod that allowed 4 players or more?

Bring that shit back

Loved it, some of the funniest writing in videogames for years.

OPINIONS

>>119555376
It's a date

Saints Row 3 was three days worth of gameplay on hardest difficulty at the very most.
It was a humongous let down.
Fucking around isn't even fun, because for some stupid shit reason they made everything revolve around the story and not fucking around.

>>119554724

If GTA 4 is the deepest game of the generation, BioShock is the funniest, Minesweeper is the most realistic, Modern Warfare 3 the most romantic and WoW the one with the best art direction.

There's almost no element of depth. Depth means that you can analyze characters and events and find new layers, viewpoints, ideals, internal conflicts, etc. It doesn't mean "oh my god, this story was so moving" or "this joke was really clever". Almost every single character in GTA 4 was shallow and one-dimentional, and even the token "deep" ones were only vaguely elaborated on, and their supposed "depth" served no purpose. The events weren't all black and white, there was some greyness, but again, that doesn't imply depth.

Also, it might have been deep, but for a game that's not saying much. If it had been a book or a film, it would have been dismissed out of hand as shallow crap.
L2litterature.

>>119552502
You mean

SR3 < GTA 4 < SR2 <<<<<<< Every other GTA

I love how you Saintsfags always bring up GTA as a mature and boring series, while ignoring the fact that San Andreas had more liberty and fun shit to do than the two worthwhile Saints Row game combined

so we all agree that sr2 is better then sr3? we dont speak about gta4 here cause if you think that game was fun or good you know shit about GTAs before that serius shit stuff

>>119555261
>but it's more subtle than earlier.

It's not subtle, it's crass and tasteless with the pretense of subtlety. The talk radio programs in particular were awful.

>>119555650
lol nah

GTA 4 was pretty good, Rockstar just stumbled a bit because of how much work they were putting into creating the technology and city and shit. They were able to focus on the gameplay in the Episodes and those were fucking awesome.

Since GTA4 went down the realism, dark and gritty road, I'm happy about SR3.
I had so much fun with it that after finishing it, I started playing again.
And you know what? I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed SR2.

I've always viewed SR games like I did Jack Ass or other shows/games that knew it was doing stupid shit and letting you experience it first hand.

GTA4 went the realistic route which is great, but I also want those times when I can just fuck around and have fun which that game sorely lacked.

SR2 had it right when you could just roam around and do random stuff for fun. SR3 tried too hard, but still had its moments.

Rip off or not, I enjoy all of them.

>>119555529
He was joking.

>/v/ suddenly loves GTA4
This is just like how the Zelda fanboys always hate the most recent game and insist that the second most recent is a misunderstood masterpiece.

>>119555529

>Depth means that you can analyze characters and events and find new layers, viewpoints, ideals, internal conflicts, etc.

That is exactly what you'll find in GTA IV if you replay it and dig a little deeper. No one is saying that GTA is "moving".

that's because the newest game is always worst than before

the verdict is still out on Skyward Sword but judging from the DS games I can assume SS is worse than TP

>>119555834
>My cat Noser's poop

my sides

I don't really get you OP (unless you're trolling, but benefit of the doubt)... SR3 is just mindless fun, it doesn't present itself as anything but that.

Granted, the game suffers a lot from a pilling of smallest design decisions... but it still what was advertised from the very beginning.

It's not a great game, but it's a good one.

>Everyone loves GTAIV
>/v/ loves SR2
>Everyone loves SR3
>SERIES IS SHIT

Never change /v/.

>GTA IS GRIMDARK
Like Saints Row 2

>GTA IS NOT LOLRANDUMB ENOUGH
Oh man zombies and sex dolls lololol xD

It was embarrassing to play Saints Row 3.
Lacked the good customization, good missions and good cutscenes of SR2.

Plus I love when you faggots mention "GTA" it is 99% "GTA4", because no other game in the series has the same issues you ring up against it.

>I'd like to play SR3, but I have an AMD card...

Nah, pretty much everyone's in agreement that SS is better than TP.

I can't even properly play it because driving kills the framerate.
Pic related.

Saints Row has better/best scripts, better combat, more hilarity, zero reality.

You just all want to feel like 'real' criminals in your 'gritty city' simulator. Get a fucking job, live on your own in a shitty part of town, and start hurting people instead of being logical. GTA.

>Generalizations

From what I have seen majority /v/ hates SR3 for being a let down, and not because they hate the series.

There is always this minority on SR3 threads that suck THQ's dick. Volition had to cut out a fuckton of stuff, ruin the story, and make the game shit because of THQ.

Saints Row 3 is the Ultima IX of the Saints Row series

At least in SR3 the cars didn't handle like shit and you didn't have to do dumbass mini games to let you advance the plot.

>>119556109
I know that feel man.

I know that feel.

>>119555953
Are you kidding? It was impossible to talk about GTA4 without BOWLING MY CAHSIN trolls flooding every thread. And even the serious posts were full of buyer's remorse because everything was such an obvious step down from San Andreas.

>>119556149
>better scripts

lolno

>>119554769
Who cares? You can max out Roman simply via doing missions, then you can get free taxis anyway.

I ignored every phone call, I didn't even have to turn the phone off, it was nowhere near as annoying as, let's say, Fi in Zelda for instance

>>119556209
Yeah, nah, shut the fuck up

I streamed GTA 4 early for /v/ and it was a lovefest.

>>119556192
>sucked at driving in GTA
>baww the cars suck

that's like blaming your paintbrush for why you can only do stick figures

Also those minigames have always been in GTA, just one simple introduction to them and you never have to fuck with it again.

>>119556109
So, was Ultima IX actually bad? When it came out noone had any opinion of it because even review magazines struggled running it on their machines.
Since then I haven't really heard much about it.

Really? Show me one character (apart from Niko or his cousin) who had a moving backstory and personality that was elaborated on and was relevant to the story (and I don't mean "LOL HE'S A STONER! xD", I mean actual character traits that were there for a reason). Every single one had a shallow-as-fuck identity that could easily have been changed and not affected a single part of the game. The internal conflicts were "oh no, I'm poor but I have to do bad things, woe is me", the conflicting viewpoints were all "socially acceptable vs socially inacceptable"... It was just lazy writing.
