    A survey about what people want in the collectors edition

    Including:
    If Deep Silver decide to go with this option, and don't decide to make a replica of the Penetrator, I'll be a bit disappointed with them. None of the other Saints Row 3 weapons are anywhere near as distinctive.

    Was gonna link a "Two Best Friends Play" video of this game I watched last night, but it is now private. I guess they weren't supposed to air that video yet :rolleyes:

    Game looks so fun. I'll keep an eye out for it if they make it public again.



    A different video with some commentary.

    Wow.... that's pretty funny.


    I preordered already through steam, I wanna see what that 'Merica weapon does because it looks like hell for anyone on the other end of it.

    Seems that when you add all that up it only come out too about 600kish 700k if your generous with the pricing. So ya not only is it a million bucks but you get ripped off for about 300 thousand dollars as well.

    As Deco would say... Only in Merica! j/k

    I've been playing it and I'm trying to like it, but I can't because it's a lot like Prototype. I don't feel like I'm playing SR4! I feel like I'm playing Prototype with a SR3 twist... I've only made it a little past the mission where you escape and go back into the Matrix...(Don't want to spoil the story for others). I just feel like installing Prototype and playing that rather than a crap knockoff... Sucks to say that because I <3 the SR Franchise, but it is what it is.

    In short... The abilities break the game. Why grab a car when you can just run there...

    :rage: Dammit Gank, you're being such a socialist right now!



    Ok enough of that. :D


    I've put in 37 hours over the game's first 3 days, completed story and side quests and a vast majority of the challenges. I loved the game. Definitely play it on Hard. Grab a friend because it scales well with Co-Op and the story will be more enjoyable with someone laughing alongside you.

    I haven't played Prototype but I was under the impression it was more of a powers + slasher game than it was anything like a powers + gunplay game. If I'm wrong I still doubt it defines the genre enough that everything else is a knock off, especially considering similar games I've played that came before it (Bioshock, FEAR, Infamous).

    The gameplay is still very centered on gunplay with powers as effects. I wouldn't say they break the game, but change the game to something outside of the series norm. I don't think that should deter anyone though. Of course you wouldn't go for the car (aside from when it is the objective). You will use the powers as your travel form mostly. In combat though, the powers are more for taking down boss shields, crowd control or adding effects to your bullets like DOT damage and AOE effects. You won't be using a fireblast expecting to instantly obliterate opponents and most of the time it will feel like it barely phased the tough ones. I've heard from some who are still in the early game that they just run from enemy to enemy mashing melee finishers. All I can really say to that is "good luck." It isn't effective for long.

    There are many ways to be cheap of course with the big weaponry, but you have the freedom to scale your weaponry to the difficulty you want to be up against. You can blackhole everything you face and do fairly well, or you can dial it down a bit with a shotgun. Of course when you get about 20 murderbots spawn on you followed by shield CIDs so you can't damage them well, you are gonna feel that urge to get out the most destructive weapon you have to survive.


    Don't get this game assuming you get to play SR1 again or another GTA. Get it if you like the series and want to see more of their goofyass story, references and combat scenarios. Get it to see Pierce's greatest fear, to romance Gat, to hear Keith David insist that he is NOT Julius, etc.

    Or get it for shit like this:
