Totalbiscuit just uploaded his WTF of it.

Saints Row IV Review - Hilarious and Over The Top
- Thread starter WMDogma
- Start date
Not only did they recycle the map (and a lot of other assets), they turned it into a dark mess with red and blue highlights. The map really doesn't seem to be this game's best part.GonzoGamer said:
I think I'll wait for a price drop before getting it. This game just seems way too disconnected. As TotalBiscuit said in his video about it, it's really a game that doesn't give a fuck and wants you to have fun. Nothing wrong with that, but I actually like games that do give a fuck. Also, the super powers seem fun, but way too OP, and I doubt I'll enjoy them for very long.

At least captcha is excited.
Saint's Row gets a 5 and Dragon's Crown a 3? Really, Escapist?
Just kidding, I respect your opinions. I didn't like Saint's Row The Third, but since one of my friends is buying 4 I will give it a shot.

Captchas get excited over anything.GundamSentinel said:
I would definitely wait for the price to drop then. It does look like fun but yea, if it's in the same city, that's going to get old quickly. I refused to pay $20 for the GTA4 mission packs, I can't imagine paying $60 for what's essentially the same thing.
It's too bad. SR2 is one of my favorite games from this generation.
I'm hoping that if GTA V has absurdly priced DLC again that we at least get another city (San Fierro or Las Venturas) and a female character to finally play as.
My club has a guy who gets games early, probably to review them too. I watched them play this yesterday. It looked pretty damn awesome. I was hesitant about the fourth installment, but now I can safely say I am excited. I can't wait to play it. I could have played it yesterday, but I'd rather wait until I get to play it from start to end on PC:
I really enjoyed Saints Row: The Third but one of the issues I had with it was the pedestrian AI. I try not to run over people if I can avoid it but in SR3, I'd be driving a tank down the center of the street and when people panic they get a direction set and run in that direction until outside the panic area. The problem is that they would often choose the same direction as my tank but a couple degrees off, meaning they slowly were edging their way in front of my tank. Then they'd die. I really hated how stupid they were programmed, people shouldn't be running in the way of a tank while panicked.WMDogma said:
Anyway, did you notice any issues like that or did you not really spend that much time in vehicles due to the powers?
In my opinion, This game is trying way too hard to have more variety than GTA,
that it forgot one very important thing for any sandbox game, interesting city to explore.
Tho, I like Saints Row's series because of its siliness.
Simply blame the new publisher for probably forcing this game out so early, it should have been a next gen release with a new city, too bad
So IMO, Not worth $60.

Considering the vid Jim did on the romances, which is pretty spoileriffic,
I'd be surprised if Keith David truely isn't romanceable, and they just missed the pre-reqs somewhere.
I'm still pretty pumped over SR4 coz it spoiled me as far as sandbox games go thanks to it's character customization, and gender select. It's basically the only game in it's genre I know of that lets you play as a woman.
'm gunna pre-order it, I hope, after moving.

I'm torn in half, I was already tearing during Saints Row the Third. I can't deny how much fun I had, I can't deny how much better it played and I certainly can't deny its absurdity. I just can't help notice that their Jack Sparrow is suddenly missing a Will Turner and it seems they're now missing Elizabeth. I pre-ordered the Third, but I'm probably going to wait for this now. I understand the decision that Volition took Saints Row in and I respect Deep Silver for carrying on the absurdity, but I don't like it.
Saints Row 2 (I realise a lot of people bat on about SR2, they hold it up to some heights) was and is a great game. It's the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I'm not going to deny it wasn't absurd, (e.g. Mr. Sunshine and his Voodoo immortality) but it had balance between the insanity and the gang war against the Ronin, Sons of Samedi and the Brotherhood. There's a sense of progression that lets you feel like you're moving up in the world. The Third tried to pull you back down to Earth, but that lasts about 20 minutes before you've got a tower with a helipad and more guns than you know what to do with.
I'll still be enjoying the Saints Row series, I'll just always find myself looking back at Saints Row 2 wondering what's going on in Stillwater.

I heard a lot of similar admiration for Saints Row 3, and I found that game pretty disappointing overall. It felt like that episode of the Simpsons when Homer becomes the leader of the Stone Cutters and they let him win at everything. SR3 (or the Third) feels like it's trying so hard to make me feel awesome and throw all this funny over the top stuff in my face, but I walk away from the whole experience feeling like it's just some empty, mindless game.
