Luftwaffles Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I noticed this didn't have a topic, but I got this and just started playing it this morning. And oh god it's amazing. The combat feels really fluid, and transitioning from melee to gunplay feels really nice. By far the best gun mechanics I've encountered in a 3rd person fuckshitup sandbox type of game. Perhaps that's because of Volition's Red Faction experience, but either way the combat far outperforms GTAIV or Just Cause 2. And unlike SR2, the PC port is really, really good. Running on my 560Ti and 2500K I can get it to about 120FPS on 1080p on ultra. Yeah, there are some not so good textures, but as a whole the game looks really nice, especially in the lighting and explosion effects. And the explosions better look good, there's a lot of them. But really, just good, dumb (really dumb) fun. If you liked San Andreas or either of the Just Cause games, this might actually be better. And if anyone is on PC I'd be down for some coop.

RockyRan Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Oh god, don't remind me. I've really wanted a balls-to-the-wall insane sandbox game for a long time and this is exactly what I was looking for. Too bad I have absolutely no time or money to play it and I have other games that are higher on my priority list (Skyrim being one), but MAN do I really want to play this one.

Yeah, I preordered from GMG for $30 a few weeks ago. Totally worth that price, I do not regret it. As far as it continuing the SR1 and SR2 story, I would still recommend this one if you haven't played the others. I've only played Saints Row 2, and this one doesn't really continue the story at all, and really is better in every single way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enervation Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Gatdangit, you're making me regret not buying it. I originally wanted to get this, but elected for Skryim at my brother's insistence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vargras Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Gatdangit, you're making me regret not buying it.

I got Skyrim over this and I can only play Skyrim for a few hours (1-3) at a time before I start to get bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
