Saints Row 2

[Kane Knight]

Okay, who's looking forward to it? I know it's not as big a franchise as the GTA series, but I loved the level of customisation, and so I'm looking forward to the second. Every preview I've seen so far has caught my interest, and with a larger, redesigned city, it should be fun if nothing else.

[U-Warrior]

It has piqued my interest, yes.

Never tried the first tho.

[Bad Company]

I think it could be good, the first one was alright. It has a good chance to be better than GTA, perhaps not the storyline, but in the details.
I'd like to see Crackdown 2 and Dead Rising 2.

[El Fangel]

One thing, they need to release Saints Row on PS3, then I would consider getting Saints Row 2

Never tried the first tho.

I played the demo and decided it wasn't worth my time. Then later, after playing some of the game at a friend's, I picked it up for like 20bucks used. IT's a solid game, with some fun side activities and the like. I also like the satire in the game a bit better than the satire in GTA.

Unfortunately, crackdown 2 is no longer in the cards. Developer said they are moving on to other things.

[Kane Knight]

One of the things I'm looking forward to is a full CAW (Create-A-Wigger) option for the game. It's not that I don't like Niko Bellic, but I'd rather have the option of creating my own guy to run around the city with. I know you can for multiplayer in GTA, but I'd like to run through CAW in story mode.

Co-Op Play should be awesome as well.

I'm going to go and stab someone now.

That insurance fraud activity in the first one was fucking stupid. Hope they don't have shit like that in this one.

That was awesome.

And LOL at all the people ripping on SR in the comments.

[Destor]

The ending to the first game was sooooooooo bad I dunno if I would give the game another chance...

[D Mac]

I never beat the first TBH

[D Mac]

Looks promising. At least the insurance thing you can harm somebody ELSE. :D

Saints Row > GTA4..
I don't know what it was with saints row but it had something which always made you want to go back to it.
Most of you know that For about 4 months all i played was saints row.

Here's the vid that BC posted up there, pretty shit quality since its youtube, but if you cba to click his link...

[D Mac]

Saints Row > GTA4..


Um, no.

[Kane Knight]

Is SR2 coming out to PS3?

[Extreme Angle]

Um, no.
GTA4 had shit all activities to do, you get shit all from doing them to...
The story wasn't all that great and neither was the online. GTA was a dissapointment, over rated.

And yeah its coming to PS3

[El Fangel]

Is SR2 coming out to PS3?

:yes:

[Kane Knight]

GTA's overrated, but it's far from a disappointment. Granted, the activities and even "dating" are kinda lame, but the game itself is still fun and there's plenty to do. Doesn't change the fact that I roll my eyes when one of my buddies wants to see a show or go to a tittie bar.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

LISTEN COUSIN, I CAN NOT LOOK AT AMERICAN TEETEES RIGHT NOW.

MAYBE LATER.

[Kane Knight]

LOL

[Fryza]

That insurance fraud activity in the first one was fucking stupid. Hope they don't have shit like that in this one.

... Die.

In a fire.

[Extreme Angle]

mayhem was pretty fun aswell tbh.
The only one I wasn't solid with was the drug traffiking, but that was still pretty good.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I can't speak for multi-player but on the single player front, nothings changed. I mean the story has, but the city hasn't. The gameplay hasn't.

Katana swords and chainsaws (Even though the close up sawing shots are a Gears of War rip off) are great and there is more customization. It's all good, because I enjoyed the first game but come on, they could have done a lot more. No game breaking bugs so far though

There are new fighting styles, you can customize your gang and new activities to be fair.

Oh and most female clothes give you more style than male ones, so I am currently wearing a double brested suit jacket, with a top hat, clown make up, a dressy skirt with a slit down the side, fishnet stockings, platform shoes, a thong and a bra so I can get maximum style.

Activity wise, it's good. UFC fighting with weapons and tap-outs? Mmmhhmmm. Fuzz, where a reporter follows you around dressed as police and you deal with minor incidents with extreme brutality while he gets footage is awesome. I even broke up the Pirate V Ninja fight of the century.

The thing I always thought was better than GTA in the first one where the boss fights. I've defeated one gang and the 3 boss fights I've had so far were clever, but a bit simple. I'm really hoping I get some of an epic scale soon.

It's great, I would recommend it. But if you haven't played the first one you might as well pick that up for cheap first and wait for this to come down in price.

[Bad Company]

I was looking at downloading it, haven't found any reputable ISOs yet though.
Got one that does PAL Hansey?

[D Mac]

It was fucking idiotic and only idiots like it. :foc:

There's not a scene release that I've seen, just Saints.Row.2.PAL.SeedME which is what I got and works perfect.

[Bad Company]

excellent

[Extreme Angle]

I need this game :|

[#BROKEN Hasney]

As an added bonus for people on TPWW, you get to destroy a group called "The Brotherhood" :D

[Kane Knight]

Oh look, a thread on Saints Row 2.

[Destor]

Not really the "big thread" you made it out to be though. Probably has somethign to do with this game being complete ass.

[D Mac]

I think this game is pretty damn fun Destor :foc:

Not GTA 4 by any means but still some crazy fun.

[Kane Knight]

"Not GTA 4" Is probably more to its benefit than not.

[Fryza]

Loving this game, gonna keep playing it up when I get home.

I love that you can still hop on the roof of a car, press Y and immediately jack it. Great way to do hostage too. :y:

On a related note, beat level six of Insurance Freud in the Factories District to unlock unlimited sprinting.

[Kane Knight]

You can still insta-jack?

[Savio]

I'd like to try this game out

[Kane Knight]

I should have had it today. Customer Service said they put a hold on my orders because my card info was wrong. They ran through the numbers--the exact same numbers--while I was on the phone, and they couldn't figure out why they put a hold on my order.

[Kane Knight]

On a side note, though my orders were "suspended," they sent me my bonus code for LittleBigPlanet.

[Crimson]

I got it and played a little, gotta get used to the controls it's similiar to gta a little bit. I love the create a player thing too, it should be fun online hopefully like in gta..all I play is online.

[D Mac]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but online on this fucking sucks. :n:

[Kane Knight]

My friend brought it over, so I checked it out. Mine won't be in til next week. :mad: Can't wait.

[Crimson]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but online on this fucking sucks. :n:

I tried playing it and it is pretty confusing online. Def not in the gta category thus far.

[Fryza]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but online on this fucking sucks. :n:

Co-op or multiplayer?

[D Mac]

multiplayer

It finds matches for you, I think deathmatch is all there is.

[Extreme Angle]

IMO this is way funner than GTA. Just the amount of things you can do is amazing.
I can actually get in touch with my character. Story is amazing so far.
That new online mode is pretty good, bit bummed they got rid of PTP...

[Fryza]

multiplayer

It finds matches for you, I think deathmatch is all there is.

Haven't tried online. Didn't care for it in the first one, and didn't try it in GTA.

Co-op works pretty well though, and has some good amusement to it.

[Kane Knight]

Multplayer in the first one meant putting up with thousands of wiggers. I'd pass on it, too.

[Extreme Angle]

I was 36th in the world for blinged out ride ;)

[UmbrellaCorporation]

This is everything that GTA 4 should have been.

Just finished the last Brotherhood mission. So amazing. :love:

[Jon Kano]

"Not GTA 4" Is probably more to its benefit than not.

lol stfu you fuckin moron

[taker707]

[Fryza]

This is everything that GTA 4 should have been.

Just finished the last Brotherhood mission. So amazing. :love:

The last few missions of theirs is pretty cool.
