Saints Row 2 discussion thread

[Hoppetussa]

So what do you think? I got my copy today, and it was hell of a lot fun! You can surf on cars, customize yourself, crib, cars, and your gang. You can also dual-wield, which I don't think you could in the previous game. There is also a zombie-game in the game, and that was fun too.
So just go ahead and discuss.

I despise Saints Row, along with GTA. Those games were and are so bad, they make me want to give up gaming for ever.

Then I remember Half Life 2, and all is content in my world.

You're forgetting that GTA at least has a compelling story.

But hey! As long as there's drive-bys and bling bling on those wheels all is well uh?

GTA? Compelling story?

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.

I played the whole of GTA4, hoping for something different from the previous one. Turns out I was wrong. It's terrible. Really. (in my opinion)

Haven't played Saints Row 2 yet, but I have a bad feeling, if it's anything like Saint's Row 1.....

Saints row 2 is like the disgusting, deformed, evil twin of what GTA4 should have been. GTA4 was missing fun, and saints row isnt.. its a shame the subject matter and the way it presents itsself makes me want to stop living ¬_¬

 

[curlycrouton]

I borrowed a friend's console.

I've played all the GTA games, because you can't knock something 'til you try it, and I hated all of them. Especially San Andreas. Ughh.......

Epic posting failure. Disregard this one.

Hey, first post! Just like to say, welcome to The Escapist.

What? I'm feeling happy right now.

I was hoping for a review, have they fixed the controls?

 

[Avida]

Thanks curly crouton ill be sticking around. Already got me a shirt.

I thought about buying it. But instead I got Brothers in Arms: Hells highway.
(No wait come back! It's good honest!)
The ability to have a gang made entirely of Ninja would be pretty awesome. But I despise all this modern gangster stuff. Bring back the cigars and Tommy guns! (which coincidentally, both feature in Brothers in Arms: Hells highway)

Space moon colony + sandbox gameplay = win.

Maybe I'll write a review later, and I haven't played the first game so I don't know about the ccontrols.

Does the game still have those useless, repetitive side jobs that you had to do before you could get your next mission of the story.

I wasn't interested in it until I saw the reviews. They have sparked my interest, but I'm still not sure. I'm not sure if I'd want to get another sandbox game, since I got bored of GTA 4. I'm sure I'd have lots of fun with it though.

No, in this one you can get respect just by killing things.

Oh...that shit is tight, homie!

Well not really but yeah.

Well, actualy, in this game you get to give him a sort of cockney voice. Yay for Britland.
