This is the best Saints Row. Discuss.

I NEED A

It really isn't. It was considered okay even when it came out. For some reason a buncha knobhead hipsters decided to start saying it's an amazing game, but they can all shut up and fuck off to be quite honest.

i prefer 3 because it actually fucking works

It's literally the only good one.

I don't know how a dev is around for two decades and manages to only make one good game and one good building destruction engine

Just fuck my franchise up senpai

>>377073420
I prefer the original. Shit was mega comfy.

Better story than 3/4. Better character customization too.

Could be a solid 8. But Jesus, that port makes it a 5.

>>377073420
OK. Saints Row 2 was great because the actual story cutscenes took themselves seriously and you had the option of making them goofy by dressing up like a hot dog.

The sequels are bad because it's all wacky bullshit all the time.

>>377074372
Watch the behind the scenes stuff and interviews for SR3 and SR2 and you can see a vast difference

>the saints row series will never get rid of that embarrassing super hero nonsense from now on

>>377074372
I'd say the lack of strong characters and interesting villains is what hurt 3 the most, along with some really baffling decisions like killing Gat offscreen for no particular reason or having story missions be recycled side content.

I mean when it came out i loved it. By far my favorite gta game of all time. The 3rd and onward had an identity sure but that identity was god awful humor

I tried to play this after 3 and this game is such a mess compared to it, both visually and mechanically.

>>377074929
Shit and 2 also had lcd soundsystem on the radio

Actually just started playing through first 2 games recently. 2 is definitely the best while 3 and 4 took some steps forward and backwards at the same time. Anywho, playing through the first two has been a cozy experience.

Is SR1 still locked on shit consolefag stuff?

I never got to play it.

>>377073420
Is the PC port still broke as fuck? Got it when it was free, but haven't played it yet because as people say it's busted to hell and back.

I thought Phillipe had potential but they kill him off in the 1st act and gave us Maero(1).jpg as the villain
Fuck SR3

Man, it looks like Agents of Mayhem is removing the fanservice. I loved the fanservice.

>>377075216
It's nothing special.

>>377075291
There's a mod called gentlemen of row or something like that, that is supposed to fix the game. If I remember correctly, volition even acknowledged the team behind it and hired one of the guys. Anywho, it's out there if you're interested

damn i love SR4

Are they making a saints row 5?

>>377074372
Frankly, I wasn't particularly impressed with 2's plot. Aside from Maero's arc, the rest of the gang stories were pretty uninteresting. People complain about SR3 having boring villains but SR2 only has one that's the least bit interesting.

Not to mention the final villain was really underwhelming.

>the final mission of saints row 3

>>377077412
Agents of Mayhem is coming out but it looks like It's gonna be DOA

>>377075216
It is, but even if it wasn't I wouldn't bother. Basically imagine SR2 but without the fully-voiced Boss, less interesting, and instead of 2 instances of each activity with 6 levels each you have 3 instances with 8 goddamn levels each

>>377077439
The ending in 2 felt kind of rushed, like we shoot up the boat full of Ultor execs and then we just go kill Vogel. No discussion of the Saints acknowledging that he's the one behind it, we just fucking show up there and try to kill him apropos of nothing.

>>377077921
Not to mention that they barely even establish Vogel as the villain at that point. We see him throughout the game but he never comes off as the least bit intimidating, especially considering the shit you went through beforehand. They could have used a good number of missions to develop him more.

I only played 3 and 4. Really GOAT games desu

>>377078109

>>377073420
Best at the time yes.
It's actually pretty basic when you try and replay it today though.

>>377077703
It genuinely looks so awful.

RIP Saints Row franchise.

K-mart San Andreas. At least 4 had its own identity. 3 is pure shit, though.
These games are boring and easy as fuck, anyway. I don't know how people can play them for more than an hour.

>>377074658
That cartoon gangsta nonsense was way more embarrasing, lad.

>>377081034

fucking yosuke

>>377073420
Has gun and melee weapon variety, best character customization, best music, best looking town and best hub safehouse.

idk the game is kinda shit tho

>>377081787

>At least 4 had its own identity.

It was literally just Crackdown, but whackier.

105 minutes into SR2 and I can't stand it. It's too GTA like
I enjoyed SR3/4 much more.

>>377082680
It played more like a shitty prototype.

>>377082984
It's funny because even people back around 08 said the story was a fucking joke compared to GTA4.

>Saints Row 2 was great because the actual story cutscenes took themselves seriously.

Saints Row was never serious. It was over the top attempt to be a GTA clone. FFS the original name of the game was suppose to be "Bling Bling" and it only sold well because it came out a year and a half before GTAIV in the first year of the Xbox 360.

SA2 basically just said "fuck it" and took its wackiness even further. Samething with SR3.

duh, it was before 3 got all whacky, but still pretty cool

>>377083628
The thing is people forget the way this game was presented and advertised was wonky in the first place.

It was mainly advertised on how up to date the custom characterization graphics were at the time, because they knew themselves that was their strongest point of the 2nd installment.

Saints Row 2(along with the franchise) was just terribly written in general. It had some fun missions, but the dudebro humor revolving around it killed hit.

The only real way to enjoy it is to actually conquer territories like the game intended or fuck around the city with the hundreds of gimmicks this game came with.

>>377073420
Storywise, it worked because everything was still grounded in its reality, despite being wacky shite. Attacking a nuclear power just to trick someone to tattoo themselves with nuclear waste is almost cartoonish, but it has serious repercussions. It's part of the reason why Saints Row 4 was almost good plotwise despite obviously being made on half a budget and still having some of Saints Row 3's memes and reactionary humor.
