Saints Row 3
polycounter lvl 17
This series has always indulged the kid in me that loves stomping over nicely made sand castles, it's over the top fun has pushed where last console generation's GTA games left off and the announcement of the third, with some sweet more comic-book style art makes it a must buy for me this fall. Anyone else excited?

So many side-splitting memories and stories from that game, especially playing it through on co-op with my roommate. From the hilarious (and suprisingly in-depth) character creation, to the ridiculous side missions (using a chainsaw on anti-violence protestors, or breaking up a street war between ninjas and pirates) I've had more genuine fun in SR2 than I have in most other games.
So many little features make that game great. If your partner kills you in co-op, you have the option of challenging him to a 5 round mini-deathmatch, the winner of which gets money from the other player. And driving down the freeway while your partner plays the car surfing mini-game on your car is just great.
So yeah, I'm excited :poly124:
"The force is strong with this one.."
Saints Row has ALWAYS been fun. The humor, the missions all of it.
It's already bloody vexing enough for me that they took out my favorite voice (that high English evil voice, what was the name?) I just hope they didn't touch much else or remove much else.
Also, I swear, if they plan on selling me the posh high English voice as DLC, I'm going to eviscerate someones balls!
...so true
I Remember in the second one, I made a hooker looking female, high heels, hoop earrings, rabbit toothed, etc. But all of the female voices were shit. So I gave her the british guy voice.
best decision ever.

I'm excited, that trailer was sweet. I hear it was Plastic Wax?

The melee attacks are priceless, and the manapult had me lol'n pretty hard.
The city looks way better...much more alive.
Also, Saints Row 2 had one of the best reviews of all time... http://bit.ly/ihHocB
MIND BLOWN.
Seriously, this is what a video game should be. Action packed, funny as hell, and it acknowledges how ridiculous it is. Fun in it's purest form.

Well... that was surreal.
But can someone please explain what on earth is the deal with all the people (are they people?) dressed up as animals? I get that the dude from the video above is some professor guy with his own TV show, but in the character creator thing there's a bunch of 'animal suit' options, and it all looked a bit crap if I'm honest.
WUT.
Maybe that's just to preload?
Yeah, I bought on Amazon for that reason. I doubt it will be fully playable, prob just pre-download, but we will see ??
Just watch the spice girls, that should cover ya ;p
