Saints Row

Anyone else playing this? I have always wanted to like GTA games, and so far this is the closest have come to enjoying them. Not quite as linear, and I don\'t get sick playing it from bad frames per second.

PS the character creation is the shit.:thumb:

i only played the 360 demo. Thought the handling felt like shit (the game overall..not just vehicles).

I love the GTA series, so its hard for me to like this. definitly waiting for the next gta installment.

To each their own, but think if you give the controls a chance. They work out fine. I feel more in control now than ever did in GTA.

played the demo......zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Have you been copy-n-pastin\' your own quotes from the last console war, mm?

Damn that search function!

well, 95% of console titles have the zzzzzzzzzzzzz effect on me, so figure the odds

Since when was GTA linear?

Good point, unless Saint\'s Row doesn\'t have a central storyline?
 
Saint\'s Row looked fun to me, but wow is it an obvious GTA rip off.
 
I saw the commercial. Even my mom thought it was a new GTA game, heh.

You bought a 360?
You\'re movin on up. Can\'t bring myself to buy one. Waiting on the Wii.


With that said, no interest in Saints Row here. Looks about like GTA , which I think is one of the single worst franchises (well, other than MGS and Final Fantasy)...


Then again, only game I\'ve played recently is CoV, still hooked on it for some reason.

Linear was a poor choice of words. The entire game world is open from the get go. So not forced to do missions to see more of the game world. Overall this game most closely resembles the original GTA. No motorcycles boats or planes. Minus the fact that the entire city is from the open. My largest complaints with GTA is the aiming system. It is fixed in SR which imho makes it a 100 times more enjoyable.

After about 20 hours played. One glaring fault stands out. They must have opted for 3 songs. It feels like everytime hop into a car the same 3 songs are playing. It is absolutly horrid after the first couple of hours.

Yeah lic broke down and bought one. My quit smoking present to myself. It spent the first month as a media center extension.

LIC, i don\'t see how you can call yourself a gamer and find no redeeming value in the MGS or FF series.  it\'s one thing to just not like them, but the worst franchises?

MGS = Piss poor story and a lot of talking.

FF (next generation ones!) = A lot of CG and boring ass turn based battles.

i rest my case.

MGS is hailed as one the greatest games for the PSX.

And it sucked.

Lol.

The Taj Mahal is a marvel of human ingenuity and worksmanship.

And it sucked.
