:phone: What's that, somebody's praising GTA IV and/or badmouthing Saints Row on the internet?! I'll be right over!

For what it's worth I barely even like Saints Row also. Saints Row and GTA almost as whole series' are great examples of open world games that would've been way better imo without the open world.

is a pretty good description of it. 3 is pretty bland but not terrible. I haven't played much of 2 but it's pretty janky but very detailed.

They are very good.

Saints Row 2 is very good and well structured
Saints Row 3 is very good and not as well structured but well into crazytown
Saints Row 4 is very good and so far into crazytown that you have superpowers and aliens and poo poo and it's really not even a GTA knockoff anymore at this point
Saints Row: Gat out of Hell is very good and outright takes place in Hell and you fly around with wings

and Saints Row 1 was only on 360 and nobody really cares about it because it was just okay when it first came out i guess? just play SR2 instead, it's good poo poo

ive only played 3 but i liked it. it's a RPG/shooter pretty much, but it's really silly, like it's a good game to play if you're high because you do poo poo like beat people to death with a giant purple dildo. if you just wanna goof around and have a good laugh and listen to sweet tunes, it's a great game to play.

i didn't want to replay it after i plat'd, but i felt it was worth the money. i cant imagine the other games are much different.

saints row actually has pretty good edm channels unlike gta's weird rear end ambient bullshit these days

like Rise was good in GTA3 and VC & SA make sense to not really have EDM stations but 4 and 5 were some bullshit, like 5 had loving paul mccartney on the GST but they couldnt get a single decent edm song in the game? bury every copy of gta4 and 5 in landfills and zero out every hard drive containing those lovely games

Saints row two let me run over pedestrians in a modified silver and purple semi with armor plating and spikes sticking out of it's wheels. All while listening to Boy George and Tears for Fears.

Meanwhile, GTA4, a much newer game, wouldn't even let me drive because having cars control well or realistically would make too much sense in a game title Grand Theft Auto

Saints Row three, while it had a pretty meh story and obviously rushed player based decisions. Actually lets you drive where you want and steal what you want after completing the best set-pieces the game has.

You can tell Volition has fun making Saints Row. Rockstar, on the other hand, feels like really bitter middle-aged men who desperately want to be cool again.

Everyone using a unique navi is just running Android with a custom ROM and a cute frontend. The frontends are real simple, too; Chaud had the source code for Protoman memorized, FFS. All those generic Navis running around? iOS users and people who haven't messed with their phones much.

MMBN even had loving deep web, like Lan would jack into someone's computer and then find a proxy with a portal to the deep web and they called it the undernet but man MMBN was made before deep web was much of a thing :stare:

Don't kids nowadays have iPads and poo poo in class? All I remember from the schools in MMBN was them making you dick around on the internet for few minutes before the next crisis began. I'd love to go to school and just goof around online for a few and then go home.

Saints Row 3 was really boring and not funny at all. I haven't played the other ones but if they're anything like 3 you'll play for about 30 minutes and then go do something more interesting.

actually the driving in 4 is sublime once you get used to the handling model and throwing the cars into corners is great fun

saints row is a middle aged man because it tries too hard and just ends up looking dumb. it's a trash game with humor somehow worse than GTA somehow. it's poo poo tier along with other goon favourite "funny" games like borderlands and south park

There is jack poo poo in terms of anime games coming to the wii-u outside of Xenoblade and Zelda.

It has more e-shop titles coming out for it than actual physical games. The PS3 even has more of those weird rear end games coming for it, and it's stuff like Tokyo Ghost Hunters and some weird fighting game featuring that orange haired anime girl from all the memes. I have no idea if either of these things are good, but they'll probably drop to five dollars like Aquapazza or the Atelier games and I will wind up getting them just to try.


Like goddamn the Wii-U releases for 2015 are loving sparse and 3/4ths of what's coming out is all TBA. The Vita of all things has more poo poo coming out for it and has actual dates, and like the Wii-U isn't even getting ports of 3DS games like Monster Hunter 4U. It's a very sad state of affairs. The Wii-U isn't even worthy enough to get a port of Tales of Zesteria despite the game being well within the parameters to run on the hardware.

There's enough continuing story in the games that I'd recommend watching a SR1 LP. They even call back to that stuff in 4.

NYC public schools just lifted their phone ban and is letting teachers decided how to use kids smart phones in class if the want them. bitch rear end charter schools expel problem students at the drop of a hat and spend all the money other schools use for special ed and remedial classes on ipads or whatever to make their photo ops look good but i don't think most regular schools have universal tablet programs yet, although lots of them have invested in like ipad carts that teachers can wheel in when they need them like the tv/vcr in the 90's
