What ever happened to the deep, emotional storytelling. The fun activites, the gangs, characters, and fun co-op. Saints row used to have meaning. Every story mission used to have me on the edge of my seat because I wanted to know what happens next. Saints row 1&2 were the best games ever (IMO).now 3&4 are just garbage. It's a joke. The only thing it excels in is humor. If you upgrade a character fully. YOUR CHARACTER IS A GOD.you dont even need cheats. You become a PRESIDENT!!! of the u.s. for the first 20 min of the the game. The new characters are just horrible. It's all DILDOS AND SUPERPOWERS WITH HUMOR!!! I dont understand how you can -blam!- up a good series. Thats all saints row is known for now. It pains me to see a good series go to waste. The only gems were 1&2. Don't you agree?

Red Faction: Armageddon All I'm going to say.

Saints Row was about gangsters in 1 & 2, I loved it. It was something GTA hadn't achieved. You could argue SA but SA gang related missions were nowhere near the type of missions SR1&2 had. 3&4 were an insult to that series. They are steaming piles of garbage.

1 ReplySaints Row 1: "Wow, nice attempt at a GTA-style game." Saints Row 2: "Nice sequel. Dry humor, though." Saints Row 3: "Meh..." Saints Row 4: "Not buying that. What a joke."

7 RepliesIt went from being a GTA clone to it's own thing. And that thing is just being fun and overall stupid in a good way. SR3&4 > SR1&2

I liked the seriousness of the first two. Half serious, half humorous. I prefer seriousness.

I like the goofiness. It's a nice charm which makes it one of my favourite series.

Umm..... It's not?

Edited by Grifshot: 7/7/2014 8:31:37 PMI think you have those backwards bro :) [spoiler]SR4 was -blam!-in hilarious! And it is a video game after all. Every other game now is trying to be super dark and serious, all they did was be smart and branch out into something epic![/spoiler]

Four was the shit. I laughed my tits off. If it hadn't been funny It would be like GTA and that = crap

I enjoyed 3 and 4 almost as much as 1 and 2 Ranking (best to worst) 2 1 4 3

Edited by Obelisk: 7/7/2014 6:08:06 PMDon't get me wrong, I think the first one was the best in the series, but I understand why they changed the series. They didn't want to be a GTA clone. I think SR4 went overboard with its extremes, though.

[quote]The only thing it excels in is humor[/quote] There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. There are very few games that do humor well as it is.

2 RepliesHating Saints Row for being stupid is like hating cheese for being cheesy.

I think [i]Saints 3[/i] was different, which isn't the worst thing in the world, but [i]Saints 4[/i] was... ach.

I disliked 2, but heavily enjoyed 3 when it came on GwG

To be honest I have no clue. I used to like the originals a lot but now... It's gone a bit to far onto the weird side. Killing people with Dildos is fun and all but and fighting aliens is pretty cool but what happened to the serious side of Saints Row.

If you're not having fun in Saints Row, you must have some sort of enjoyment handicap.

Imma have to disagree, the saints row games are pretty cool. I was not a big fan of the saints row 4 story though. The customization features you can do to your character in saints row are way better then the customization features that GTA5 has. With grand theft auto they try and base the game with real life things, saints row on the other hand is something that would be more imaginary.

Played #1 when it came out. Good game. #2 was a bit of a let down. IMO its the best of the series, but started to leave the gang thing and focus on corporations. #3 is horrible. I fully regret buying that. I won't even list obvious reasons. I was done there w SR. #4 was originally going to be DLC for #3. Solo... Its not anything new.. Its a mod more so. But ended up selling as full game. I know there's horrible game design in it and etc. If you like it, fine. That's alright. But to be so blind to obvious errors and flat out lazy crap, is disgusting. I'm not being toxic to your tastes, if you liked it, I'm glad you had fun. But it has gone so far downhill I can't wait to see it burn, or do a 180

Saints Row is basically Mardi Gra compared to GTA's April 15th's Tax Day deadline.

Edited by MetalGearReach: 7/7/2014 12:41:58 PMNo way, I loved saints row 3 and 4, it's way more unique that gta by far

I liked 3...

I definitely prefer the first 2 games in the series, but I had a ton of fun playing 4 as well. I don't like 3 as much.
