I really skipped past all the lovely extra busywork 'side mission' stuff and stuck to the main plot. It kept annoyance to an absolute minimum.

The one thing SR4 needed the most over 3 was the ability to toggle upgrades so that you don't permanently have infinite health or instakill guns or whatever once you buy it (or rather unlock it via the side mission) and for some reason they did not put that in.

SR3 is infinitely better. Is there a way to import all the clothes from 4 into 3? Since that's literally the only thing 4 does better.

It is beautiful and it cemented my love for the game. Not long after that, you've got the Boss enthusiastically eating pancakes and doing a walking animation straight out of a 1930s cartoon

Both the games own. The best part of SR3 was doing John Cena’s “You Can’t See Me!” with Killbane's mask and lighting people on fire. The best part of SR4 was collecting those data packets and climbing those towers and those sweet sci-fi weapon skins.

I want to play a classic dragon quest/final fantasy style jrpg that I haven't played before but I don't own any consoles. All the jrpgs I can find on steam are all ones I've seen before like FF8 and stuff. Anybody played any good jrpgs on PC lately?

If you played and enjoyed the Saints Row games, you're okay. If you played and didn't enjoy the Saints Row games, you're also okay. Everyone's okay.  (Except if you're just a shitheel who wants to slapfight about subjective opinions.  )

Saints Row 4 is the Meet the Spartans of video games and instantly loses any comparison conversation unless you're comparing to games that are just outright broken, like Big Rigs or something.

I couldn't bring myself to even beat Saints Row 4 because it's so repetitive and unsatisfying in nearly every aspect. The world is just depressing cause it's dark all the time and the glitch effects are an eye sore. They took away most of the aircraft, there's no boats anymore, no more cribs, same enemies over and over, and you're basically forced to do the incredibly lovely copy pasted side missions over and over to unlock fun stuff. It's also a nigh endless grind to get your super powers to a fun level.

I'm planning on playing through all the games in my library in alphabetical order to the point where I either complete them or grow so tired of them that I SAM all the achievements and file it away in my NEVER AGAIN category. Games that I've already played partway through will be completely reset and I must start fresh. Multiplayer games don't count, though sandbox games might.

It's actually pretty fun because you'll find a lot of games you like you picked up in some bundle and would have never played otherwise. It's also funny when you get comments from angry fans on your bad reviews for terrible games.

I've tried playing SR2 on the PC even with the Gentlemen of the Row mod and it's just horrible consolized badly ported poo poo. I wish I could've tried it on its native platform since it does sound like it was a great game.

Or some stuff that's seems kind of stylistically similar to older JRPG's like this or that. Elimange Gothic is more of a dungeon-crawler but it's a relatively new release. I liked the Zeboyd games well enough. There are a bunch of old Genesis RPG's in those Sega batch packs. I think Phantasy Star IV would still hold up well if you've never played it before.

I think it's possible for a game, especially an open world game, to be too polished. Most hilarity I've encountered in open world games has been due to weird poo poo that has happened due to the imperfections of the game. Stuff like the pimps in Saints Row 2 starting a 30 person gang war when you smack one about a bit, or being hit by a crashing plane in San Andreas. Once they go through things and start polishing it to a sheen like they tried to do in Saint's Row 3, it sort of loses a lot of the charm and weirdness that makes those kinds of games fun. GTA4 suffered from the same problem, in that the most fun thing most people ended up doing was launching themselves from that swingset because it was the only totally unscripted and unplanned element of the entire game. Everything else felt like it was purposefully designed to do what it was meant to do and any irregularities are based on the random nature deliberately put in.

I thought Saints Row 3 was the second weakest Saints Row game, after the first one. It relied too much on "lol so wacky dildo sex reference hijinks xD" to cover up the fact that the game's plot was barebones, beloved characters from the previous game that did a complete personality change for no reason, killed off a fan favorite character from 1 and 2 to the point they had to retcon his death in Saints Row 4 due to the outcry, rather shallow gameplay that had bullet spongy enemies unless you tried to 100% the game and the new gimmicks the game introduced weren't terribly fun. Saints Row 4 still has a lot of problems but they reeled back the dick joke toilet humor a lot, actually had a lot of references to the previous games in the series when 3 felt it existed in a vacuum, had a lot of fun powers to toy around with even if they did make vehicles obsolete and weren't terribly balanced, had a much more entertaining main villain and was overall just more fun to play.

Great game, very heavy on the dialogue and world-building, if that's your thing. Plus, the sequel(/second half) ought to be coming out early 2015.

I did beat trails in the sky, waiting for the second half right now. Some of the other ones mentioned looked good. I've actually really really enjoyed some of the rpgmaker games but I think that might speak more about how much I want to play a good jrpg than the quality of the rpgmaker games.

Some of the games in my library are already complete or in my NEVER AGAIN category, so with any luck, I will be done before 2015 is over.

I'm making a notepad of all the suggestions so I can pick em up when they either go on sale or I get bored. Currently I'm trying ot get through wasteland 2, which is fantastic, but makes me realize how much I like turn based content and collectable sidequests.
