Who remembers the days when Saints Row was constantly compared to GTA?

Then saints row 3 happened.


Those side activity disguised as "Missions" still haunt me to this day

Infinitely. It was actually fun instead of the tryhard overly serious "muh realism" shitfest that was GTA4. Side missions where you blow up everything or try to get the longest possible chain of being hit by cars without touching the ground are so much more fun than gay ass ambulance missions in GTA4.

Too bad it had a horrible PC port.

Twas. And it's better than Saints Row 3 and 4, even though I actually still like those games.

>>379818665
fixed a lot maybe, but that port was so broken that it still has plenty wrong with it. I'm playing it right now with the up to date mods and characters are still flying all over the place during cutscenes and the game still speeds up in parts.

Saints Row peaked right there to ne honest. I hated how none of the sequels had house customization

>>379818224
It did GTA better than GTA did, that's for sure. I'd still love for them to make SR games like this, but I also still love SR3 and especially SR4, but only because its the Prototype 2 that P2 should have been, but was actually way smarter than it let on.

>>379820628
What in the world made you like that game? I tried playing it two separate times months apart and both times dropped it like two hours in. It's joyless and boring to the extent that I'm baffled they didn't cancel it years before release.

I also tried the sequel, and while better I still didn't keep playing it beyond the first session because nothing about it grabbed me.

WD2 is just generic trash in comparison. A boring setting, a terrible story and characters, and tons of things not carried over from the first game or changed for the worse.

I like the idea of SR2, but this piece of shit port regularly dropped to mid 40 fps even after installing the mod on the system with i7 CPU, GTX 1080 and SS.

>>379819023
You must be autistic. Saints Row and Saints Row 2 are games where the creators must have had a vision of another dimension or universe where instead of getting super serious or attention to detail route that the GTA series took it went into a completely different direction, with said vision it was clear what the man who had it must do, to assemble a group of the biggest piece of shit inexperienced coders and artists and to try copy his glorious vision, what we got was an objectively bug ridden mess of a game with humor only funny to most banal of people(Last season's shoes was legit pretty funny though), I'm not talking about funny to the lowest common denominator I'm saying it was only funny to the lowest denominator, the controls for the vehicles in the first game were unintuitive and kinesthetically displeasing, the second game improved on the driving controls, but was still notably buggy with the same old terrible humor intact, despite all that is objectively wrong with the game, both manage to be fun with a plethora of activities to do, with which to waste your time, controls that you can't criticize except for the first game, a grinding system that wonderfully fails at making things a grind, and a customization system that puts GTA to shame both games are greater than the sum of their parts, SR3 only fails at being the rough diamond that it's predecessors achieved if for nothing else than the fact that it has worse customization than SR2, you now know what to expect of it, and missions that are essentially just the side activities, though I'm pretty sure that occurred in SR2 as well, just not to the same extent. Play Saints Row 2 and then SR3. One is just a more polished version of the other with less features.

I got up to the super secret underground hacker HQ and the story had zero fucking draw because the protagonist was a bland douchebag. They fucking AC3'd up the game.

>>379821286

The map has some good variety. You have the city filled with electronic signs, the broken down slums, dense country, industrial area, and residential area.

Nice assumption man. The protagonist is a dick with zero redeeming qualities and none of the supporting cast give you any reason to care about them, not even his sister and nephew. I like everyman protagonists a lot, but Aiden isn't an everyman he's an everybland and the whole game is tonally identical to its protagonst.

I feel like SR2 has the better soundtrack than SA because they didn't have over a decade of hindsight to inform their choices, and they didn't have a 1:1 equivalency of a real setting to their fictional one like Los Santos to Los Angeles either.

BREAKING NEWS

>>379822604
The city in GTA IV is lifeless. It's filled with buildings you can't enter, hallways that go nowhere, and nothing to do outside of story stuff. You can't buy any property or anything important with your money either so aside from guns cash is fucking useless and considering that's the main reward system it's a massive bummer.

Watchdogs feels less like a city and more like a weird interactable playground of stupid hacking bullshit. Aside from basic ass collectible shit like those hidden camera feeds you're not particularly incentived to explore. Especially considering if you klutz your way into something that's story related you 100% can't interact with it properly. The issue with this is there is a very red-light-green-light design to the city. You can tell which buildings and locations are important to the story because they're fleshed out and interesting, whereas other random places aren't. They're static buildings you can't enter or empty parks etc.

>>379818224
>Cruise control
That alone made it the better game.

>>379822829
Motherfucker I'm not the one defending a game that was boring in hindsight and one that was never considered fun at all. Maybe you should provide reasons that they're not dull as hell, and "I have patrician taste and you plebs don't understand dull and uninteresting games for dull and uninteresting people such as myself."

>>379822727
>in order
i did them all at once, one mission at a time from each
makes no sense to completely defeat a gang in a all-out high stakes battle and topple a huge gang leader then suddenly go back to entry-level missions about discovering who the gang even is
having the entire plot of all three gangs build at the same time is master tier

>>379821225
But Saints Row 4 was better than 3 and one of the best super hero games ever made.

>>379818224
>All these Zero Punctuation contrarians actually think the buggy mess that was SR2 is anywhere near as good as GTA IV
The game broke for me when I got infinite pistol ammo early on by doing some police side mission and used the really powerful fully auto pistols the whole game.

>nothing to do outside of story stuff

>vigilante missions

>pool, bowling (hurr), darts, and that 3D tetris game
I agree about the cash/rewards.

>you're not incentived to explore
Knowing the map is very useful for the 1v1 multiplayer mode. Also, there are rewards for collecting stuff and doing side content.

The only location I felt that way about was the Viceroy building.

>>379823487

Settle down, sperg. I've already provided points for Watch Dogs in this thread.

Here are GTA IV's

>little details like the in-game televisions
>TECHNOLOGY
>interesting story
>driving is fun and sometimes challenging (not saying it's perfect)
>excellent DLC that ties back into the main story

>>379823569
This. More fun than 3, but even less connected to SR than it was.

>>379823569
Still the best Superhero game ever.
Also it's pretty funny that Gat out of Hell was originally a DLC for SR4, which itself was originally a DLC for SR3)

I think they've realized that people don't want Saints Row to go full retard with this new game they're making. Hopefully they can return to the series in a few years with a SR2 level of wackiness.

Reminder that Hulk Hogan was set to play Killbane in Saints Row 3 but he refused to put the Saints over so they created Angel for him instead.

Saints Row 2's assassination missions alone were more fun than all of Watch Dogs.

>>379824957
>comparing a game to its sequel
Of course the sequel is going to do some things better/different, dumbass. That being said, GTA V was a step backwards in a lot of ways.

Congrats on having different tastes in minigames. I noticed you left out yoga. Cuck.
>properties
Pretty pointless. You can't go inside the buildings, and the missions are just little fetch quests.
>stocks
So you can save up to buy what, exactly? A handful of cars per character? The best aircraft in singleplayer can only be stolen, your non-personal vehicles aren't insured, and weapons can't be utilized to their full extent thanks to the "no fun allowed" wanted system.

SR3
>deathmatch
In dead online, or are you talking co-op? Sorry if that's wrong, I'm not that familiar with the game. I beat it once and immediately returned it.
>ragdoll physics
>shit hoses
That's more of a personal preference. Realism vs. wacky fun.
>survive and kill multiple waves of enemies
>destroy everything

>motherfucking fashion

>find and eliminate target

>run around naked
Okay.

>>379824957
Nice counterpoints for WD, btw.

>>379824304
I'll agree that SR3 was the plateau, but SR4 was the decline with the addition of superpowers that eliminated the need to steal cars, if they wanted to do superpowers they should've just made another game in the same universe.

Best open world crime game of all time, shame retards who kept calling saints row 1 and 2 "gta clones" ruined it.

TBF #1 was pretty clone. #2 was still pretty cloney, but it had the first bits of the over-the-top humour poking through. Once the developers found what made their game unique, they ran with it until they buried the humour in the ground with 3 games that make the exact same jokes.

At this point I don't consider saints row a GTA clone, but a Borderlands clone.

>>379818224
it was decent, and maybe the best saints row by far, but no way better than gta 4, even tho it outshined it in many aspects
anyways its just like my opinion

>>379825789
I never played Watch Dogs hence the tentative fuck it.

>>379825725
I was more or less also shitting on GTA5 I just happened to have remembered more about it, I was going for sheer volume with the list, I personally thought the shit hose was shit, the deathmatch I was referring to were in single player where you had to navigate a course and kill various mascots till you got to the end, the survive and kill multiple enemies was a multiplayer mode but you could play it by your self, the destroy everything mode in SR3 and earlier installments were specific jobs that you could do where you had to reach a total amount of damage in a specific time the game had quite a few destructables and so was more about comboing your destruction with what ever weapon they gave you, GTAIV doesn't even come close to the customization options offered by the SR series, I forget exactly how the vigilante missions in GTA5 were but the missions in saints row would pick or spawn a pedestrian some where around you, show you a picture of it and you had to find and kill him/her/it, the run around naked activity was shittily implemented and I thought it was pointless

>>379818224

>>379818224
I loved just how big the whole thing felt. NPCs would go about their business regardless and you could seamlessly transition from inside to outside spaces. Walking from the street into a fully functional space like the mall or the observatory blew my mind at the time. Especially when GTA tended to shut a lot of its interesting spaces off behind missions.

>>379830096

Fixed for you. 2 was a poorman's GTA for edgy kids, 3&4 managed to be their own games with their own identity.

>>379831845
Only thing is that identity is cringey sexual shit for 12 year olds whose parents have a child lock on their computer

>>379818419
GTA IV sucked. It was clunky as fuck and liberty city was boring.

>>379818419
This
>>379832416
It was shit. Not to mention the pedo driving

>>379832416
This is the objective truth, and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to go back and play it again. In 2008 we were fucking floored by how good it looked (especially if you played GTA3 and were seeing Liberty City updated so massively) and all the little TECHNOLOGY! moments, but the game itself was flat and rather sterile.

>>379831845
The girl crush was vengeance cus they fag-dragged Carlos, which is a MUCH WORSE death to the point the MC had to mercy kill the dumb bastard. 2 was a GTA like that remembered why people played GTA in the first place. Not have an MC that moves to Liberty City and wants to be a reformed taxi drivers but every mission you murder 500 people anyway, there was a huge disconnect in GTAIV between the MC's dialogue and what was actually going on. SR MC knew exactly what the fuck was going on.

Am I the only person who enjoys Saints Row 2 much more in the early stages when you're still doing street crime for the most part? I'd fucking love an open world crime RPG.

>>379820486
what's better Sleeping Dogs or Streets of LA?

>>379832639
Exactly! That always made me laugh
>leaves world of crime for new life in US
>becomes a gangster

At least with the SR MC you know you're playing as a gang leader and I'd say a lot of the side missions in SR helped balance out some of the darker points in the story.

>>379832870
at least GTAIV was a realistic Liberty City simulator in that trying to drive around it was so bad I always paid a taxi to do it for me.

I believe that SR2, 3 and 4 are fun on their own ways. With each of them having some flaws in a way or another. Gat out of Hell, on the other hand, was fucking boring.

>>379818419
bitch, gta iv might be a well written game story wise, but that shit was mundane. i mean i can't even watch myself playing the vanilla version while free roaming for no more than 10 minutes. it captures NY perfectly, boring and crowded.

I'm pretty pissed about how Volition made that Agents of Mayhem garbage instead of Saints Row 5. I've muted their twitter feeds because I'm sick of hearing about it and it triggers me. I've watched the live streams of it and feel I have enough information to say with certainty the game is complete shit.

And that pisses me off because Volition is NOT a big studio. They can only work on 1 game in earnest at a time. And it SHOULD have been Saints Row 5. I would have given Agents of Mayhem a pass if it was remotely decent. But the art style is shit, the dialogue is cringeworthy, the gameplay is generic, the enemies have no AI, and they keep saying "saints row" a dozen times in every advertisement because they're doing their damned best to piggy back on its success because they know their AoM game is shit.

Well, i'm just gonna be that one old fag that will admit that Saints Row 1 & 2 were the best games in the Saints Row franchise, while 3 & 4 just felt like a big shitty fanfiction... Especially 4 with the alien warfare, the protagonist being the President, and going on some retarded expedition in space to defeat some alien warlord.


How the fuck do you go from a street thug rising from the bottom in successfully wiping out rival gangs to becoming a... whatever the fuck i'm supposed to be now? Just fuck my favorite franchise up.

Never played the first one, but the second one is vastly superior to the third and fourth.

Shit somehow became TOO silly. I mean there were dumb sidequests in the second one, but the story was taken seriously at least. I also prefer the gang warfare on a smaller scale than being some kind of superhero president.

I feel that the devs of Saints Row just fluked their way into SR1 and 2.

Both those games were about a guy starting from nothing, making his own gang and taking down the opposition.

It was a dark story surrounded by quirky events, keeping it all light-hearted and fun.

Someone at Volition read all the signs wrong though, and thought that what made their games fun was the "quirkiness" and nothing else, so if they put all their points in that aspect, it'll print money, right?

I couldn't even get through SR3 and essentially stopped trying right there, as the series was too far gone for me.

I'm glad they stopped making SR games. The devs proved 3 times in a row that they had no idea what made the first 2 such fun games.

They broke a rule I believe holds true for ever video game ever made:
>The game always has to take itself seriously within the context it has created, when the game starts taking the piss out of itself quality drops.

I have not once played an "ironic" game that's been anything but cringey shit, and that's what SR turned into.

SR3 and SR4 were wildly popular and profitable, regardless of your opinion. Those games weren't flops by any stretch of the imagination. Gat out of Hell got screwed because it was originally developed to be DLC then expanded to a stand-alone game but not quite as big as a standalone game so people sort of had not idea WTF it was. It was still awesome, though. Playing as Kinzie? Fuck yeah.

No, they read like reviewers that aren't sucking industry cock. I realize that might seem strange to you since every single major video game website out there doesn't point out flaws in games, especially pre-release. Be it bribes/kickbacks, or just brown-nosing so they don't get shitlisted by devs, it's incredibly obvious.

Volition didn't make a mistake. Saints Row 4 scored much higher than Saints Row 3 by critics, sold more than SR3, and SR4 was far crazier than SR3. If anything, business-wise, they were moving in the right direction. That is probably what fueled the even more insane Gat Out Of Hell (That musical number was the weirdest shit they've done yet). In fact, I bet Agents of Mayhem was pushed solely because the cartoony art would allow them to go even crazier. But that game will suck because it doesn't have the soul of Saint's Row and the writing is cringeworthy.

Even if the game was polished to fuck, it's still boring and lifeless and badly written and the gameplay is streamlined and boring as fuck. Like, the plot has no complexity or subtlety, it's super silly. They fucking removed so many great tracks from the game. Radio, or should I say """radio""" is garbage.

the ONLY thing that is remotely "fun and atmospheric" is walking around with your hands in your pockets and hacking other people's phones and shit and the occasional restricted area sneaking, and even then all of the in-game outfits are literal autism tier so you look like a homo

>>379850183

I really don't remember. Did SR4 load characters from SR3 saves? I know the president thing is just a prologue, but I'm pretty sure your character should have been made by that point. Just keep playing and see where it goes. I mean, it's been like an hour since your original post. You could have figured out by now and had fun doing it.

>>379850415

I played it a couple years ago (also Steam version) and it was irredeemable without mods. Even WITH mods, it was just all sorts of uncomfortable to play because the keyboard/mouse customization was minimal, the camera was unnatural, and the controls suffered because of it. I played it once just because everyone said to, but I'd never do it again because of those control issues. It made it really unpleasant. I also thought it was really over-rated

>>379851507
