Saints Row The Third
 

Anyone starting to think SR has jumped the shark?



I know it's technically a prequel to Red Faction...but, why so futuristic so early?

Not really sure I follow, what's this about a Red Faction prequel? :/

But anyway, this game's gonna be amazing, one for the Christmas list :amazed:

Red Faction 1

Saint's Row 2

The Masako team appears in Red Faction as the final boss, who goes by the alias of Masako, also a line in Saints Row 2 mentions Ultor looking into going to Mars

:p

Ah right, that's pretty interesting actually, never knew that

I do love the wackyness of SR, but the Third is looking a bit too wacky, I'm not sure on the whole future look either

I know what you mean, I dunno if I like the fact that they focus pretty much solely on the games wackyness as it's selling point

Cant waaaaaaaaait

Aye, there's a difference between Saints Row 2's whacky side missions and The Third's "OH LETS HAVE A BUNNY IN A SUIT SHOOTING ROCKET LAUNCHERS AT SPACESHIPS, WHICH FIRE LASERS, AND THEN YOU CAN STRIKE A POSE AFTER YOU HIT A HOOKER WITH A DILDO! LOL" It starts to give off the air of being aimed at 13 year old boys.

I kinda sorta agree but the alternative is to just sell it as a GTA clone which is worse. Beneath all the marketing it's still going to be a massively entertaining open world gang game where you can just so choose to listen to Destiny's Child as you drive around in a cat's vagina running over small children with horrific birth defects.

I hope you're right and that it is just over the top marketing, I'm definately still getting the game

It's been decided, Patrick Stewart is gonna be my main character :D

SR2 was pretty serious though in terms of the story. This time it just seems like pure comedy and a joke...I dunno If I would like that as much.

I wish I had the money to buy this :bawling:

I'm mixed on the initiation station thing you can download from marketplace now to make your character. The hair all looks too shiny and blocky like a wrestling game or something and it seems to actuall have less fine detail options than Saints Row 2. On the flip side to this it comes with about a half dozen bondage costumes and the ability to turn your characters skin shiny silver so he or she is essentialy a robot.

The good news though is that the almighty cockney voice preset returns so I think I'll just make my old character again.

I used the Cockney accent too xD I think the best way to describe how my SR2 character looked is "Danny Dyer" xD

I got it, it's story is amazingly fun xD

I can't wait to play it. I have a huge backlog of games creeping up on me but very little money for the next few weeks.

I feel bad for leaving Skyrim behind, I'm torn between the two D:

really want this
but with COD,skyrim and now i got MGS collection on the way in a few weeks i dont know where i'll get the time for anything else

MSG collection isin't out until Feburary, brah. Konami shafted the Europeans.

Konami constantly shafts Europeans xD

Gonna import it im too much of a fanboy to wait till feburary:joker:

It might have a reigon lock on it

Nah PS3 is region free so its all good
Heard rumors that the reason MGS1 isnt included is cus they are making a full out remake , doubt it though especially with Rising and now 5 coming out

And the fact that it was remade for GameCube.

They should have thrown Twin Snakes into this collection.

Yeah I always thought that too it would make the most sense

I bet they couldn't do it due to it being a Nintendo game...and Nintendo being ignored with this HD release xD

Damn Nintendo

Hideo Kojima disregards Twin Snakes as a proper MGS game. They messed up the cut scenes and voice acting. Or at least they took it in a direction Kojima wasn't happy with.

Plus with the anniversary coming up, they've most likely got a full remake of the first MGS in the works.

Anniversary of what exactly?

The series 20th Anniversary was three years ago and Metal Gear Solid's tenth anniversary was two years ago.

The cutscenes in Twin Snakes did suck ass though. Matrix overkill.

25th anniversary of the Metal Gear series.

This is the game I want the most atm, more than Skyrim, wish Christmas would hurry up :(

Got mine.

Went for the "Pretty Boy" preset with the shades hat and no top :joker:.

Cockney voice it is...this will be funny :p

OMG.....Carlton Dance!
BEST GAME EVER! :D

I think the game actually works best with the Cockney voice, I love how the voices actually have different lines
