Zero Punctuation: Saints Row 2
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Saints Row 2 is a lot of fun! I really enjoyed GTA4 as well, but I can't overlook the incredibly annoying bugs in SR2. If they had just polished up some of the bugs in SR2, it would have been an exceptional game. As is, the game freezes up a lot, the car physics like to go insane every so often, and AI will mess up during missions a bunch and make you replay from previous checkpoints to get them out of endless loops. It really breaks up the flow when you have to restart your xbox just to keep playing...
Two things:
1)I wholeheartedly endorse giving Yahtzee whatever means necessary to have that Supervillain Sandbox style game see the light of day.
2)I would have never, EVER, *EVER* (shifts to 1999 Chris Jericho)EEEEEEEEVER (shifts back to normal) expected Yahtzee to make a Team Rocket reference.

Very good review, balancing the usual negativity (ultra-accurate shooting & regenerating health) with positives (have some bloody fun, gamers!) and even a gay joke or two.
"In my face! DO IT!"
Classic Yahtzee.

Oh man, this is gonna be interesting. I didn't even think Yahtzee would even want this game anywhere near him.
Anybody notice the Monty Python's Flying Circus reference?
Well done Yahtzee. It almost makes me want to play this game. Sadly I have no XBox and no heaps of money to throw around all willy-nilly.

Well I'm surprised he gave it a chance, and shares my opinion on the matter. I still think GTA IV is the "better" game - but I find Saints Row 2 way more fun and addicting.

AMEN!
For me, the best ZP to date. I agree with everything said about GTA4, for me that game is the most depressing/overrated game I've ever played.(I know most disagree, and I'm not looking to start an argument over this).

Bah, I didn't like this one much but that's probably due to me finding games like Saints Row and GTA incredibly boring most of the time. Still if that batman game he suggested ever came out I would so buy it.
I wonder if Yahtzee will do a GOW2 review, it is one of the most anticipated games of the year. I wouldn't count on it based on how he treated it in his e3 trailers video though.

So.. uhm.. I'm probably the only one who still hates Saints Row 2?.. I hate the game like a fat boy hates working out.
Hmm... call me slow, but I still haven't even finished GTA IV. Maybe that says something about the gameplay. I liked an earlier GTA better, where I looked at the stats toward the end of the game and discovered I had killed over 10,000 people. Well COME ON! The sidewalks are always less congested! Well, not as congested with cars and things that can damage MY car, anyway. Getting five stars was FUN, and I could usually get away with it. Maybe I'll find a convenient attack helicopter or tank in this game eventually...?
I mean, sure, in GTA IV it's gratifying to hit a minivan at 100+MPH with a police car and see the driver crawl out on fire and hear a little kid screaming 'mommy' and die as the car explodes... but it doesn't happen ENOUGH.
And WTF happened to head shots? Used to be able to POP heads with the rifles. Now you can stand over a body and shotgun the head repeatedly and nothing happens. 'Realism' my ass! It's like frickin' DISNEY took over the development.
