[@sorokabeloboka8818]

My main gripe with Saints Row 3 is how lazily some activities were just shoved in as mainline missions. In SR1 and SR2 the activities and story missions were heavily separated, If you went into a story mission you knew it's gonna be something unique. In SR3 Pierce calls you to destroy Syndicate property and...it's just a tank activity. Kinzie asks you to help her and it's...helicopter protection activity. All of Angel's missions are activities too. Third of stpry missions are just half assedly shoved activities disguised as story missions.

[@danjones2701]

Having played saints row 2 and saints row 3 back to back recently, Saints row 3 is A LOT worse than I remember. Saints row 2 had an interesting environment, best example I can give is like beginning the game, running around doing missions and hearing pedestrians speak about "The Pyramid" and coming to the conclusion that The Pyramid is a real place hidden under a mountain, used as a research and development lab for equipment that references Voilition's Red Faction game, as Ultor is the bad organisation in that too. It gave a sense of holy shit, I wonder what else is around this world I haven't discovered. Every gang take over thing was far more interesting in s2 than a repetitive and generic, buy a property and instantly receive the area around it or, take out a small group of the gang in the middle of nowhere that somehow represents the entire area they occupy, that stands in saints row 3. In saints row 2, you would enter a building and find out that the Ronin have an illicit casino operating under it and you destroy their means of capital and assets then kill lieutenants, or set a whole district on fire burning Samedi Drug labs. Each Gang was incredibly unique, and yet believable in their own rights, all occupying believable areas, ronin in the higher class parts of the city, in bed with the Ultor corp, Animals controlling the docs, hardcore motorheads with the whole monster truck derby or rockstar vibes, and Samedi around the universities and factories districts influencing students to work for them. You felt like every mission mattered, excited to see what happens next in each of their different stories. Remember when first facing Mr Sunshine and he uses a VooDoo doll on you? Remember holding Carlos's hand, a kid that helped you back on your feet and only wanted to prove himself, as he laid there dying and you had to put him out of his misery, remember Burying Shogo alive at Shaundi's funeral after he tried to ambush it has his 2nd in command killed her?... the cinematics were really good for the time honestly feeling as if almost all gang conclusion killing were satisfying and badass. Saints row 3 feels like a shell of that. It feels repetitive and if we are all being honest, killing a couple people with a deadly dildo is fun for about 20 mins, and past that you really wonder what else the game has to offer. The story means little, the 'Underdog to King' feeling isn't there as you just buy your way to the top not earn it, even when you do buy the property and so on, you can't really upgrade anything. You can upgrade 3 building, which all end up looking exactly the same on the inside and no choice for decor and so on like saints row 3 had (Another visual representation of your progression from the slums to the top). The initial underground club in Saints row 2 was also really cool seeing that developed as you progress through the story. You literally get the best and only apartment you need a couple missions in to the game in s3. You cant even buy cars now? what's the point of money in saints row 3 apart from making the game easier by buying health upgrades?..... I'm not saying that they should stop over the top things, but I think not making it the entire game would be better.. try a little depth in character development, story or specific mission development. I feel like it's going the same way as fast and furious franchise and you never hear anyone say "Fast and Furious 6 was my favourite"... no one even knows what happens in it because after Fast and furious 4 they all become an over the top big explosion fiesta of movies that have no substance or progression apart from bigger explosions or heists that make rich people richer like it even matters. I feel like that may work for 2 to 3 hours worth of mindless entertainment every now and then but won't work for a triple-A title worth roughly 30 hours of gameplay of just explosions and kids sex jokes in the long run. That's what I feel anyway, don't know how many people agree with it but would be interesting to know

[@mikoaj5002]

As a person who only played Third and IV (and watched cutscenes of previous 2 dozens of times on YT) I dont mind how the series turned out with jumping the shark. You gotta remember THQ started to falling down, and they got tired of complaiments how "its a gta knockoff!!!" so they decided that they will go even crazier. I'm gonna replay The Third soon again to check if I still think the game is good but eh I dont mind it. Tbh The Third still has its dark moments. I know a lot of peiole call this story dogshit and how its too wack(y) but I really disagree. The main theme of the game is revenge and getting more commercial. I think Johnny Gat comment on what happened to Saints is kinda meta due to how older fans feel about the franchise now and the bad and good ending indicates it. If you choose to save friends, you prove Gat's point how they became corporate whores. But if you choose bad ending (which i reccomend - imo it actually makes this game darker and seem to appeal more to SR2 fans) you maintain the spirit that Saints arent to fuck with, but it makes The Boss "the dreaded". Its implied his friends arent here because of respect but because of fear. So bassicly you made Gat's happy, but in the end Pierce asks you "was it really worth it" and you can answer Bassicly The Third is kinda a mess, but i dont think its that bad, and still retains its spirit, meanwhile IV goes fully to embrace its dumber side (which was my first SR and have huge soft spot on it, but I would sit here and write for another 15 minutes whats the problem with the game) and seemed to went the series downhill

This is why more Black people need to get into game development, it's the _only_ way we'll ever see better representation in video games. You really can't expect non-diverse development teams to put effort in "minority" character creation. Designers are almost always going to design in their likeness and we're not apart of that likeness. We aren't the target audience, we aren't who they envision as apart of their player base. The only way you'll ever see multiple Black/African hairstyles in a video game is if a Black person was apart of the design team or if the game is centered around Black/African people. The greatest example of a game getting it right would be NBA 2K. The sport is not only predominately Black but basketball is apart of our culture, not to mention an African-American is on the design team. So they have every reason to make a character creator that appeals to us. But RPG's and other adventure type games? They were sadly not designed to appeal to us in any significant way. They'll make 20 straight hairstyles while we get 3 at the most (generic fro, generic cornrows and generic dreads), not counting the all-purpose buzzcut. It's worse if you're roleplaying as a Black female, you typically have no options unless you want to look like a butch lesbian from D-block. Even San Andreas had better options compared to Saints Row, Cyberpunk, etc. We just have to face the fact that most of these games aren't made with us in mind. I've seen it over and over throughout the years... Fallot, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Saints Row, Kingdoms of Amalur, Dragon Age, Dragons Dogma, the list goes on. That can change if more Black people entered the gaming industry. Otherwise, get used to this playa (SR reference).

The worst part of saints row 3 is the fact that it somehow has less content than the second game, less guns, less cheats, jokes, no multiple fighting styles, etc. after you beat the game the world is just dead, the map is really really bad as well the second game has the best map in any open world game ever and the third has the most generic boring open world map ever. You also can’t downgrade your guns, the gangs were under utilized like the second game. It’s funny every saints main game is good they just never live up to the second games standard.

Yeahhh sorry, it's just you, you are a bad driver. The handling was vastly improved over the original SRTT's lighter more skittish driving mechanics tbh with the cars also feeling more weighted imo too.

[@darthgamer6239]

I feel like people put driving in games way to high of a standard because of GTA I personally like the driving more in SR

[@jdisdetermined]

Yeah, I instantly loved the driving in 3. Even as a big fan of 1 and 2, I enjoyed the actual look and feel of 3 alot more. 1 and 2 were pretty basic and just kinda blah to look at. The driving, shooting and overall action of 2 just wasn't super satisfying. The look and feel of 3 with the story and soul of 2 would be amazing.

[@SCREAMILLUSION]

GTA's isn't even the standard either. It needs improvement in GTA too.

[@StarlightLancer01]

You're stupid for various reasons: Cars shifted gears infinitely, cars barely shifted weight to the corresponding side of their turns, drifting was horrendously arcade-ish and felt like sliding on a soap bar, car customization wasn't anything great compared to two, damage physics made the cars look like tinfoil, driving physics felt like I was stuck to the ground where the cars barely jump off the ground in ramps, and last but not least, they didn't improve the car's speeds at all.

[@youcantseeme3456]

That's such a bad excuse, Saints Row was SUPPOSED to be grounded in reality... The reason the first two games were so great is because they combined the serious story and wacky moments which never went balls to the walls and it worked extremely well, SR3 and 4 just became a 12 year old's fantasy wet dream and they distanced those games so further from the series' origins it became a shadow of it's former self.
