McChoclatey Original Poster Instructor Join Date: Jul 2011 Posts: 585	Is anyone planning on getting it? And if you already have it, is it fun? Any pros or cons? I saw the trailer and I immediately wanted it; IGN's reviewer had given it an 8.5, so to me, this might be a good catch. But I want your opinions on it; what do you think of the game? I'm getting Skyrim too because it seems like it might be interesting, but I've also never played the last series of games both of them have in their collection. So, what do you think?

It's a bit more extreme in terms of its sense of humour and some might be offended but if you love a crazy sandbox game with no pretense to common sense then you'll get a kick out of the latest Saints Row. It is also worth noting the game has some of the most impressive uses of licensed music as backdrops for specific gameplay you'll find. Definitely a worth while purchase.

The quality of the cut-scenes is what surpriced me the most this time around, they're quite good and seeing your custom made char in them doing John Woo style crazy stuff is awesome. I don't like that they took out a bunch of cool cars like the Venom Classic etc. There's also still a lot of AI & pathing issues and quite some silly glithces, it's just not as polished as Rockstar's games. Overall, it's a great game to unwind with and just have some mindless fun

I'm not fond of the so called 'GTA-clone" games (even though I do find myself enjoying this more than GTAIV). I think my biggest fault with the game is that...it's not very good looking. At all. The cityscape, the vehicles, the characters (particularly those coming out of the generator), the graphics engine itself. It does explosions decently, and vehicle damage pretty well. But, I say this as someone who inherently dislikes this style of game.

And if you do prefer jacking cars and jumping rivers in bikes I would suggest waiting for GTA 5.

ehh, Saints Row is not a RPG. Same goes for Grand Theft Auto. They are action games.
You do not develop your character, which is the keyfactor in a RPG. It's simply doing dirty jobs.

Saints Row =/= Skyrim =/= Deus Ex Oh, hey, if you like apples, toothpaste would be an adequate replacement. Buy it if you want a sandbox style game in which you can shoot people in the face and do stupid over-the-top shit. Don't buy it to replace a completely different game.
