Saints Row the Third
So, assuming the fuckers don't cock tease us again, it's due out for Q4. We're finally getting some information at this point, though scarce. In an interview with the senior producer, we got a couple of tidbits:
Despite the Saints Row series' rather tongue-in-cheek, cartoonish violence, Donovan said that some of the ideas that people came up with went further than Volition was willing to go. As an example, he described one weapon that won't be appearing in the game: the fart in a jar grenade. The idea was that the jar contained flatulence so terrible that anyone caught in the blast would be too busy vomiting to engage in combat. Apparently, some of the team liked the concept, but others weren't so keen, so Volition decided to scrap it. Donovan said that other suggestions that people had come up with were so bad that he didn't even want to repeat them, which is quite remarkable when you consider how violent and/or over the top some of Saints Row 2 was. While it won't be as bad as it could have been, THQ is boasting that Saints Row: The Third will feature some of the most "outlandish gameplay scenarios" around. Some of the things that the game does include are skydiving with tanks, airstrikes on Mexican gangs, and fighting off military personnel with a sex toy. Air Strikes on Mexicans? Juan's days are numbered. Dildo weapons? Meh. Tank Skydiving? Epic. No "fart in a jar" grenade? Thank GOD. ![]() --John Rogers |

i feel "cautiously optimistic" sums up how i feel about this game. really like SR2, i just hope the 3rd has more varied/interesting missions and the humour doesn't get any dumber than it was.

It has been my dream since I was a child, to sky dive with a tank.
Thank you, Saint's Row 3. |

Game Informer has a few more details about the game:
1) No multiplayer so that the team can focus on a stronger co-op and solo gameplay. 2) Weapons can be customized in a lot of ways and some even silly/comical. 3) RC gun lets you shoot at cars and then control them like an RC toy car. 4) Experience system similar to GTA San Andreas that lets you eat, get fat, and change your physical appearance more. |

I am hoping for a driving system between GTA IV and SR 2. GTA IV was too sensitive, and in SR 2, the handling was so tight that it just didn't feel right. The cars had no "weight" to them, like in GTA IV.

Honestly, like I have said before, I just want a game that takes all the good from GTA IV and Saint's Row 2, and smushes it all together.
I really hope SR 3 is that game. |

Then you get into a mission where you need to face off against a rival gang, and you get punted to the moon while driving a fucking BEAR. Even the cops usually aren't that bad. |

I liked how you could customize your character and everything, one thing I didnt enjoy in the sligtest was the driving.
Edit: I see the conversation turned to the above. Honestly mix San Andreas driving with GTA IV braking and you have win. |

Im sorry KK, but go play San Andreas. I loved that game and almost everything about it apart from the Zero mission set.

How many times can Saints Row crumble then rise again?
I am surprised KK didnt get on you about how you should want to do the useless bullshit. |

Can certainly see why someone wouldn't like that street cred system for doing story missions, but I liked most of the side missions in the game, so it didn't bug me. Assassinations in particular were always fun.

That system as managed a lot better in SR2. Plus there are so many activities and ways to get your cred up that it's really not hard at all. In SR2 I very rarely had no cred to spare. All the side shit was so much fun I had cred stacked up the wazoo.

Not to mention you could get cred for sandboxing. Doing the shit 95% of us do in the game anyway.

I hope if they do a turf system, they do like Crackdown did and allow you to turn the rival gangs back on after you've beat the proper game. I know you could replay missions, but once I beat the game, I mostly just wanted tosandbox the shit out of it. |

Well then don't blame the game because you put yourself on a limited schedule to play it. Lots of games can't be fully enjoyed, in a short amount of time.

Cool KK you didn't make a valid point.
Wonder what other critiques you might have on other peoples opinions..... "What you hate the coin shooter in Smash Bros Brawl!? You're stupid, its a lot more fun you should like to play it!" True, it does reside on me and if I owned it myself I probably wouldn't mind too much. |

Says the guy who had to lie to come up with a reason to bitch about me.
It's only not valid because it's inconvenient to you. But again, when you're already cool with flat-out lying, what's a little dishonesty in the face of inconvenience? |

Okay, here's my mini-review of San Andreas: As a pure sandbox game it was great, and at the time was the best to offer for me. You could only play as one character but, due to the eating/exercise system and GTA's costume selection you could change it up quite nicely. That said, I found exercising and constantly eating to be a chore. Spent way too much time swimming and hitting the gym (not saying it was a horrible way to have people invest in the character, just wish they had a better balance) in a game where I wanted to destroy/interact with the world while not being too constrained by the "rules". I did love the gang territory system, however which made up for a lot of it. Also, the story didn't fit with the cast of characters. Hated all the flying missions. Hated the ending. Also thought they didn't know where they wanted to go with the story (ie. Casino mission). Seems kind of dumb to follow a casino robbery with hunting down a crack-head. Just me? |
