Saints Row the AWESOME!

I loved Saints Row 2. Being able to get tyre spikes and nitrous or hydros. Crazy over the top violence. Unlockable infinite ammo. So much stuff that had no purpose than to look cool. My cockney gangster in suit and posh hat. Shandi's missions pretty much all start with "well I slept with this guy and.......".
SR3 seems to have come from this thought "You know what, Saints Row 2 just wasn't batshit insane enough"
PS Also my other guy who ran around with an insane grin, wearing platform shoes, a floral print dress and a traffic cone on his head. Why? Because I bloody well can

I'm a little hyped up for this game, possibly a little more so than Skyrim, but the PC version of SR2 was nothing short of totally fucked up. This has made me wary of getting the PC version of SR3, as I don't wanna pony up the cash for a unplayable mess.
Seen this concern so much now.Kevlar Eater said:
Apparently the SR2 porting process was tossed at CDProjeckt or some other third party. The Third is being handled directly in-house so this shouldn't be as big of an issue.
Time will tell, of course, but regardless Steam already has my money. :3
You know I've never played any of the saints row games...any one care to tell me what I'm missing and if I do get this one will I be missing out by not having played any of the others.
When they were growing this game in the great gaming plantation they must have been drip feeding it with pure unrefined crazy awesome.
When the bud sprouted it looked like Professor Genki. Then it started smashing people with apocafists and shooting them out of cannons.
HYPER ETHICAL.

Hm... difficult to say, really. The established characters would be strangers to you, after all. But I guess if you aren't terribly worried about story (which the series actually has, albeit in small bursts, between utter and shear ridiculousness), you will only feel slightly discombobulated.x EvilErmine x said:
Saw someone suggest reading the wikipedia article, so here's that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saints_row
I enjoyed the first Saints Row. Really didn't care much for the second. General conclusion is that i just don't like something so ridiculously OTT that it's ultimately a parody of itself. I don't necessarily want the hyper-realism GTA IV was going for, but i don't want ludicrously stupid either. I want that perfect sweet spot that was nailed by GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas.
You won't really be missing much. You may not recognize a few characters, but even reading a plot summary of 2 should be plenty.distortedreality said:
OP: WHY DO DAYS TAKE SO LONG!!! I will be spending as much time in character creation as I would playing a normal single player game beginning to end easily.
The crazy stuff!
My fav mission from the second one is the one where you fight bad guys while stoned, ok there are more fun missions, but this mission and its dialog just stood out for me, even amoung all of the other wacky craziness.

Don't forget that you jumped out of the plane to rescue someone. So you're rescuing someone in a giant clusterfuck of a shoot-em-up.Daystar Clarion said:
And one of the enemy gangs are freaking wrestlers. Pro Wrestlers. Hell yes.
Why does this have to come out on the same day as Skyrim. Why dammit!

I think my favorite part in SR2 was "Insurance Fraud". Watching your character pinball around, getting hit by trucks, and then "unfold" himself and do it all over again... That, and deciding your entire gang got to walk around the city dressed like ninjas. ("Wassup, my ninjas...?")
The whole thing looks like a lot of fun; I'm looking forward to meeting new characters, trying out the new videogames, designing my alter ego, and seeing how the plot turns out (I'm sure I'm going to enjoy smacking around what looks like a truly unlikable set of villains)... SR3 may be my most anticipated game for this year. (Sorry, Skyrim.)

It should have online co-op. I read somewhere that they dropped the competitive multiplayer to focus on the online co-op. Will have to search for a source.Hummmy said:

Looks like it will have have online co-op but no competitive multiplayer.
Ill take that bet.Jimmy T. Malice said:

Not enough? One of the weapons in the game is 12 foot purple dildo known as "The Penetrator"
Still not enough? One of the gangs consists solely of luchadores
And if all else fails it maybe pertinent to know that one of the voice options for your character is just a collection of zombie grunts.
