I haven’t slept yet, I was up all night finishing Saints Row 3. I wasn’t going to stay up finishing it originally, I wasn’t even going to play it at all tonight; I wanted to played DC Universe Online. I downloaded it today on my PS3 and for whatever stupid reason it’s taking forever to update, which always shits me with games you download. I don’t care if there’s an update when I buy a physical copy, that’s fine, you updated something after making the CD; but with digital you can change it, because like, it’s on the Internet.
You know what else annoys me? When you go to quit games and it says “Are you sure you want to quit? (Any unsaved progress will be lost)” Why can’t it say “Do you want to save before quitting?” It would save me a lot of
“Oh shit I forgot to save *presses back, goes into menu, finds save option, click on save, click on save file, click yes I want to overwrite, finally it saves*”
So yeah, I finished Saints Row 3 and it was pretty good, but not as good as I thought it would be. I thought a game where I can beat cops to death with a dildo while running about a nude large breasted woman would be the greatest game ever made.
When the game starts it does a good job of setting stuff up so you if you haven’t played Saints Row 1 or 2 before you know what’s going on, but then once you get into it the missions are really choppy in bits, and a large portion are just a way to unlock side activities in the game, so just filler. One of the activities you drive around with a tiger. No reasoning behind it, some guy just says “Hey drive with a tiger” and so you do. Oh and some missions are just cut scenes, like, you click the missions, you drive somewhere, and then a guy sums up what you did in your last mission and then it’s over. Out of the 47 or whatever missions there are probably like 10 actual missions that further the storyline.
The ending is pretty stupid, granted I’ve only beaten one ending so the second might be better. Whoops, that was a spoiler. Don’t read that it is a spoiler!
The co-op in the game is pretty good. It lets someone just join your game and play along with you which can help. It also has a second mode called ‘Whored Mode’ which is a set of…I guess mini games would be the best thing to call them. You get a different weapon and you have to kill a set amount of people. This mode would lend itself to co-op on one TV really well, as it’s only a small amount of room to move around so both players could be on one screen, but alas, it doesn’t. I mean, it has co-op, just online and over LAN which is pretty stupid. It means if I want to actually play the game with someone in the same room as me, they have to bring a TV, PS3, and game to my house.
Overall I’d give the game like a 7 out of 10 (because I am a game reviewer now). If you find it for cheap (like $40-) then I’d buy it probably. Actually I wouldn’t because I already own it but you should.
