Saints Row: The Third Review - OXM

OXMOnline: Since launching as a very good but obvious Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas clone in the early days of the Xbox 360 — back when we were starving for our first next-gen sandbox experience — Saints Row has matured into a series that embraces the over-the-top and the absurd in a way that even GTA could never dream of, and this third iteration perfects the formula by emphasizing fun above all else, realism be damned.

GTA V trailer or not, I can't wait for this!

joydestroy4569d ago

same here! this will hold me over

NarooN4569d ago

YUUUP!!

This is my #1 this year. My own personal GOTY, if you will.

BrightFalls764569d ago

Very cool:) For myself Saint's Row really put the fun back into the sandbox games. Yes, it's over the top but GTA went the other direction and is too serious. I haven't enjoyed GTA since part 3.

StanSmith4569d ago

I don't think it was the seriousness that let GTAIV down. It was the lack of things to do outside of the main story. That to me is where it lost it's ability to be fun. Once you finished the story, there was nothing to do.

KozmoOchez4569d ago

thats exactly my beef with the series. I can play sr2 for hours and not do a mission. In fact, last night a friend and I were messing around and we turned on some cheats for fun. Tornado heli + super explosions + unlimited satchel + pimp slap = ridiculousness.

I blew up an 18 wheeler from the Tornado and the impact flung a nearby car into the air right into me and my helicopter blew up with me in it. And of course who wouldnt enjoy watching someone get smacked by a giant foam finger and then fly across the street. Or using it to smack cars onto cops.

Saints Row: The Third will only take that to the next level.

Anybody play the demo yet? Is it any good? I downloaded it last nigth but havent gotten a chance to play it yet.

fallacious4569d ago

The demo was just the character creation part of the game, you don't actually get to play the real game itself.

kma2k4569d ago

Oh well that blows. It was like a 1gb download to, seriuolsy wtf that is depressing!

NarooN4569d ago

Not depressing at all. It lets you make your character(s) beforehand so when you get the game, you can just skip the character creation part and get to business.

Laxman4569d ago (Edited 4569d ago )

The demo is also playing part in a competition. Volition are picking the 100 best character designs (today is the last day before they pick), and the community is going to vote for the top 3, who will make it into the game as NPC's.

Slightly disappointing game but Wo Long had a good creator. I was impressed by Oblivion back in what 05, 06? But the worst i have ever seen, clearly, Valheim.

ModsDoBetter373d ago

What was up with Wo Long?

Not looked at any reviews and did download it on my Xbox before I sold the console but never got around to playing it. Saw it drop in price on PS5 and was thinking of picking it up.

RE: Character creation

Oblivion hold a special place for me, when it came out on PS3, it was the first game of its kind that I had played and the character creator took was amazing.

I do like Monster Hunter: World & FFXIV, personally.
Cyberpunk did good in that department, despite its numerous flaws.

IamTylerDurden1373d ago

I played Oblivion day 1 on 360 and was impressed with the creator. Damn near 20 yrs ago, it was impressive at the time. Special game, unfortunately 90% of current gamers on social media have not a clue about the older stuff. Elder Scrolls is just Skyrim to many. They know not of Gothic and the old guard that paved the way. Flimsy ass rhetoric and recycled opinions about the same bs is what garners attention. Meme culture. Insight and intellect hold no place on the current day internet. Fuck likes, follows, BS. I say what i believe is relevant, what i'm interested in, and following means fuck all bc i don't respect 99% of the ppl online anyway.

For the "TLDR" bs. I'ma not space it out on purpose. Fuck you very much folks.

isarai374d ago (Edited 374d ago )

Honestly the one I remember being easiest and flexible enough to make any character I imagined was the PS2 WWE games, and Saints Row 2. I did really enjoy Dragons dogmas character creation too

IamTylerDurden1373d ago (Edited 373d ago )

I was gonna mention Black Desert but the game is horrible so...

Creator was the best part.

bunt-custardly373d ago

Lol CP 2077 is one of the easiest and less detailed editors around. It's all a mish-mash of presets.

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series

Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground

Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3

And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2

Gardenia477d ago

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim477d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno477d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
