Saints Row: The Third is a 2011 action-adventure game developed by Volition and published by THQ. It is the sequel to 2008's Saints Row 2 and the third installment in the Saints Row series.
The game is set in the fictional city of Steelport, and continues the story of the 3rd Street Saints, once again putting players in the role of the gang's leader, who is fully customizable. Five years after the events of Saints Row 2, the Saints have grown from their humble origins as a street gang into a large media and consumer empire with their own brand, while many of the gang's members have become celebrities and pop culture icons. After being stranded in Steelport, which is firmly ruled by an international crime organization known as the Syndicate, the Saints must rebuild their forces once more to take over the city and defeat the Syndicate, as well as S.T.A.G., a violent paramilitary contracted with restoring order to Steelport.

[@draydarockstar362]

3 was the first one I played I was finna be 11 back of June of 2013 and I got in trouble for buying this but I never will regret it

I really like SR3, but I hold SR1/2 in _much_ higher regard as they stayed within the same type of formula. The gritty urban shootouts and drive-bys for control of turf is what got so many of us hooked on the franchise in 2006. I personally think the mantra of "Embrace the crazy; fun trumps all" is a double-edged sword. I've got no problems saying that SR3 was hella fun, but it was also incredibly shallow, and painfully silly in its attempts to differentiate itself from GTA. Nowhere in SR3 did I witness the depth of storytelling that SR1/2 had. Add to that, the amount of 'crazy' ramps up to nauseating levels when we're asked to do things like hijack laser-firing VTOL aircraft, take part in a televised wrestling match, and navigate a computer simulated Tron-like battlefield with a plasma arm cannon. SR3 showed us that the grounded style and atmosphere of the first two games was being left behind. Then came the ludicrously stupid and outlandish SR4; where we're now the *President of the United States and have to collect glowing clusters of energy to upgrade our superpowers in **_another_** simulation so we can fight off an alien hostile takeover.* Yeah... Embracing the crazy isn't always the best idea. In fact, sometimes you need to tell crazy to phukk right off.

I’m right there with you. While I really enjoyed my time with SR3, 1 & 2 are still better in terms of story and atmosphere to me. While I don’t have an issue with how wacky the third game got, the grounded nature really helped to give the game focus, something I thought was lacking in 3

[@peytongonavy]

Played SR3 first, then 4, then came back to 1 and 2, in that order. Now I'm finishing up SR2 before playing Gat Outta Hell and then.... The reboot. Oh boy... I'm in for it now.

[@VandoM22]

That’s also how I played it at first although I dabbled with SR2 a little bit when it came out. Still need to get around to the reboot😬

[@peytongonavy]

I'm approaching it like it's just part of the ongoing story. It is what it is and at least the earth isn't destroyed anymore.

[@marbl3d45]

This is an amazing video bro!!! ❤

[@intuitionedits2.032]

I personally think Saints Row 3 is the best. People can complain about the tonal shift but SR1 and SR2 still had that wacky tone underneath. Especially SR2. I mean ffs, Gat literally got STABBED and survived. So in my eyes, SR3 didn't really shift that much. (SR3 was my first and SR4 was my second so I am 100% biased lol but idc) Also, Sasha Gray is a damn good voice actress. I wish we had gotten more of Viola. I do like the rebooted game, but at the same time I wish we had gotten more of the OG timeline Something I appreciate about SR3 and SR4 is the driving. When I went to play SR1 and SR2 I was so offput by the atrocious driving mechanics lol

[@Rachebart]

No Saints Row 3 is not the best. Everything that was good in Saints Row 2 is cancelled in 3. Especially the fact that Saints Row 2 was the last game with a good map. I mean you can revisit the prison, go in the shopping mall, all secret location, you can go in so much building. Saints row 3 has a boring map and you cant go in any buildings like in 2. Thats why the Reboot failed because you cant go in any buildings.

[@punisha4032]

You must’ve be young and brainwashed who played 3, cause 3’s driving is horrendous

[@DeadX2]

How lol 2 is way better everything in that game beats it

[@GetBackRy3x]

Getting stabbed and surviving is wacky? You hear yourself?

[@keyblademasterclark]

SR4 is the only SR game I've played and that game was AMAZING

[@VandoM22]

Tbh it’s a really good game. I finished it not too long ago and had a blast!!

[@aftershock7064]

No it's not, Saints Row the third is great

[@DeadX2]

It’s ok

[@Rachebart]

Quickly. Yes it was that bad

[@RalseiGote69]

Criminally underrated analysis video

[@VandoM22]

Appreciate that! It took a while to make but I’m happy with how it turned out and that people are still watching it almost a year later.
