Saints Row IV Takes You "From the Crack House to the White House"

Love it. Only thing I didn't like about SR3 was the length of the game and that many main story missions were just tutorials for the various events. If they fixed those two problems I'm going to have a lot of fun. I don't care about any seriousness in this game, all I want in this game is to have fun.
However, I do have a slight feeling that it might have been rushed but it's too early to judge that.

Errr guys, its just a Saints Row 3 DLC repackaged as a full price game...
I mean look at it, same graphics, same engine, same city, same clothes, same everything, IT IS SR3, just with new content.

GTA was never about serious drama until GTA IV and even then the game still exists in some sort of absurd parody world. Saints Row 2 had some very dark humour which I really enjoyed coupled with some good characterisation and engaging villains, The Third however seemed to amplify the sillier parts of Saints Row 2 while removing most of the really pitch black humour and while the good characterisation still sort of remains the engaging villains do not. Personally I really liked the fact that the main character was a complete psychopath in part two since it does fit in with the gameplay while the anti-hero of the third game kinda does not.Bindal said:
The PC port was utter shit though, ill give you that.
Well, they apparently tossed all sense of reality out the window.
Awesome.
GTA V for some drama and cousin movie seeing.
SR 4 for, well, dicking around.

It looks just like the third one to me...I like the new S&M costume (that is new, isn't it?) and the Tex Avery ray. Hopefully we get the same depth as in SR2 though. Also, since they tried making a 3DS Saint's Row, I'm hoping this is a sign that Saint's Row IV will be brought onto the Wii U at some point. Fingers crossed!
Looks like? No my dear boy, it is garbage!Adam Jensen said:
Saints Row's charm is that it's completely off the deep end, forget nuance and subtlety, this is a video game and it's going to behave like one! The controls and game play have always been very good, on a technical level they hold together very well.
Number 3 needed a longer campaign, it just sort of ends abruptly, but I still loved it. I can pinpoint the exact moment too, fourth mission, standing in a helicopter looking out across a neon skyline (which is strikingly pretty), then you jump out of it, parachute onto a penthouse flat and the Kanye West starts.
I don't even like the record that plays, but the tone is so over the top and it fits so perfectly it's impossible to not be having fun at that point.

Looks very similar to the third game, but then Saints Row 2 looked very similar to the first one and look how that turned out.
It actually was originally announced as an expansion pack called "Enter the Dominatrix" [http://www.webpronews.com/saints-row-the-third-expansion-cancelled-2012-06], but it got cancelled because they decided the scope and story was too big to fit in just a DLC.Immortal_Engines said:
This is why I thought "Enter the Dominatrix" was cool as an expansion. VR/Alternate reality/whatever? Fine. Core title? I think I'm going to pass.DVS BSTrD said:
If it's like GTA 4, I think I'll pray for Sleeping Dogs 2. Sleeping Dogs isn't great, but at this point, it's looking it by comparison.
If we are to take from the last iterations of both titles, Saints Row 4 will be batshit and shallow with the same graphical and technical flaws of the prior games. GTA V will be a dating simulator with badly controlled shooting scenes in a larger, shinier city.
Which hasn't really changed in 3 and won't change in 4. The asshole bit, because I don't give a damn about PC ports.Bindal said:
You mean, just like they did?ksn0va said:
It amuses me to see so many people bagging out the game for 'having the same graphics'... do we really need an new engine for every game? I mean you lot lap up Call of Duty: The Brownening every time they plop out a new one, and the AC series has done well with just making new content with the same engine... personally I can't wait for my crazyness.
Why did it have to be Deep Silver that bought Volition?!? Why!
Maybe I'll buy SR4, but not Riptide? Can't risk them making any more Dead Island sequels, though.

Agreed entirely. Look at Battlefield 3: Simply having a new engine doesn't do you any good if the devs don't make use of it. Saints Row is where you go for fresh content on old tech.tkioz said:
