Saints Row 4 is the Meet the Spartans of video games.

Saints Row 3 manages to somehow be even worse than that.

SR2 tried to tell a cool gangster story with a bit of monkeycheese humor thrown in.

SR3 and 4 try to tell a monkeycheese story with gangsters thrown in.

My fav part of any saints row thread is seeing self-serious tryhards balking at kitsch as if it doesn't have a place in society. The world needs RoboCop just as much as it needs Vertigo.

Agreed. I love me some artsy-fartsy poo poo, but I also love murdering people with explosive wubs.

Arguably the worst part of the Dubstep Gun was that with explosive wubs, you really don't need any other weapon, which is a crying shame.

i got SR3 and all the DLC for ten dollars on a steam sale, so I feel like i got my money's worth. SR4 hasn't quite hit that price point but I have a feeling it's worth about as much.

There's a difference between "kitsch" and "blindly repeating references and internet memes instead of putting effort into actual humor or gameplay." Hint: Robocop is not the latter.

Go ahead and keep parroting poo poo you heard from Errant Signal, though.

actually, just play crackdown 1 and then pretend crackdown 2 was a worthy sequel.

honestly, 2 isn't bad if you can get it for cheap, but it's nowhere near as much fun as i had with 1

I think there is a happy medium that can be reached here. Where we can all come to agree that the dubstep gun was cool, but Saints Row 4 was still boring.

Volition had a poll about what you'd like to see them make in games in the future. It asked about current games, past games, and ideas for new games.

I spoke heavily in favor of more free space.

Also I wasn't a fan of Summoner as a kid. I beat it, the ending with a choice was pretty cool, but man, that game dragged on. It was the first RPG i got for the PS2 and I was super hyped for it. It just didn't do it for me though.
