Saints Row the Third

[Captain of Fun]

As for this game, I'm not even halfway through, and I don't see myself going back to it any time soon. Just too many better games coming out as of late. Hell, I was only halfway through Arkham City before Skyrim and then Sould Calibur came out. And now Street Fighter x Tekken is dropping in a week, so Saint's Row is going pretty deep into the back log. New one might come out before I ever get around to finishing this.

Unfortunately, the notion of going overbudget to fit the game content on the disc and then locking it is kinda ridiculous. Especially when you can have day 1 DLC outside your core budget after the disc has gone to print.

But yes, the problem is a lot of the people who are saying they're going to boycott won't. Like Mass Effect 3. I bet I'll see like a dozen or two playing the game day one on Live.

Can't really blame you. Though only one of those games really interests me, but this game (while still fun) is kind of third tier. If I had anything else I cared about last November, I wouldn't have finished it. And as is, I still haven't gone back to complete takeover of the city or anything.
