This is why I love it, it's like an untamed human id made a game. Sometimes that's a great thing to have.
It's not just a great thing to have, it's needed now more than ever. I love games that are serious, I love games that bend the rules, but I can honestly say there is only one game series I have found that lets you do ANYTHING you want. It doesn't break any rules, it just doesn't try to follow them, it allows you to explore the desires of you most basic needs. Wanna run around naked like an idiot? Saints Row has you covered! Wanna fly a hover bike? Saints Row has you covered! Wanna fuck around the city without the need to reload a save so nothing too bad happens? Saints Row has you covered! We need maybe 1 or 2 more games that just let us do what we want.
Too many times are we told, "You can do whatever you want in our game!" but then find out that there are constraints. Dishonoured tells us we can get into any areas we want, but I have found that there are some roofs in the game which are impossible to climb on to of with any ability. PROTOTYPE was all about doing what you wanted, but there were very few good stealth mechanics/missions in that game, the offensive part was good, but I certainly wasn't able to stealth around in most missions. So yeah, I think we need just a few more games that play to, as The Great JT puts it, plays to our human id. Not too many, we don't need it to become the new gritty or realistic, but just a few to remind us that video games don't have to be artsy, or serious, or realistic.
