Saints Row 4

Re: Saints Row 4

I'd say because of the Carlos and Gat stories.

It had more substance. In SR3 I felt like things were just happening for ****s and giggles. The factions you were up against was just one giant faction that didnt really have a reason to do what they were doing, or maybe it all just flew over my head. The characters from previous titles more or less transformed into new characters so that didnt help with familiarity.

In SR1 and 2 I felt way more connected to my own character and the allies he had as well as having and actual dislike to the antagonists. In SR3 it just wasnt the same.

The over the top aspect of SR doesnt bother me, its just that theres nothing there that is gripping to me.

Re: Saints Row 4

Finding out who turned on the Saints in SR2 was a major shocker and a gripping turn to the story. Killing Gat in SR3, who was by far the communities favorite character, was a slap in the face of the fans (at least the ones that visited their forums, of which I was one up until SR3).

The developers themselves characterized SR1 and SR2 as hyper-reality, in SR3 that was thrown out the window for things that had nothing to do with reality while they took the crude/raunchy aspects to a whole new level that had nothing to do with the Saints Row / Gang story element, which basically felt abandoned in lieu of the other.

Blah I was hoping they'd go back to their roots with SR4. I think I'll hold off on buying this until it hits some major price drops. I'm sure it won't take long for it to hit like the 30$ price point with GTA coming out right after it.

Re: Saints Row 4

Are the Saints even a gang anymore? Seems more like a boy band now.

This pretty much says it all.

Never even dealt with that.

Re: Saints Row 4

The boat blowng up in SR1 was more payoff than anything in the series. I want that feeling in a saints game back. I dont know if IV will do it but I'll try it eventually. 3 was just a joke compared.

Re: Saints Row 4

Only thing Volition can do is make a reboot. Drop the Saints name & call it something else. This should be called Saints Row 3.5 since it is actually a DLC add on from SRTT but they decided to just make it a entire game.

VG247 - Saint’s Row 4: presidential campaign

Why ride in a car when you can run through traffic using super-speed? Why walk around a skyscraper when you can jump over it in one leap? Why fight with your bare hands when you can use telekinesis to throw them into orbit? Why indeed.

You also have a Dubstep Gun that fires Skrillex riffs at people. It makes them dance like morons, just in real life. Any cars caught in the blast suddenly sprout hydraulics and start bouncing around to the beat. You can pilot a mech.

“One of the reasons we added superpowers is, in all of the Saint’s Row games – the two core mechanics were combat and driving. Superpowers are a great way for us to change how they feel. So if I want to drive, I still can. You can grab cars, customise and upgrade them, all of that.

“But if you want a change of a pace, and you just want to super sprint down the street, then go for it. The same with combat, because I can still take a gun and shoot people. It’s no problem. But if I want to use my ice blast instead, then I can.”

Re: Saints Row 4

Why make a game that has nothing to do with being in a gang & doesnt continue from past storylines & call it saints row???
