Is there a date for the second one?
-
saints row :rock
-
I just completed a second runthrough of Dead Rising today, and that shit still blows my mind. The graphics are fucking awesome (+800 zombies on screen at once) and the play control is dead on. Pity about the utterly distinguished mentally-challenged AI pathing though.
I can't believe DR came so early in the 360's lifespan. It's still one of the best-looking next-gen games from Japan. WTF happened Capcom, DMC4 looks nowhere as good. AND WHERE IS MY GODDAMN SEQUEL
BTW, regarding Saints Row, HECTOR SAYS BUENOS NOCHES
-
no game captures what i want from gangbangin' sims better than saints row. that's right, i am all about the icy hot stuntaz experience
no game -- not even those tim schafer games you fegs go on about -- has made me lol as hard and as long as saints row has
-
dead rising is the game of the generation as of now sorry
-
Answer: yes
It's called Dead Rising :D

If I hadn't played Assassin's Creed, this would be my choice.

in terms of graphics Assassin's Creed is the best looking next gen game by far

I don't think he has seen Uncharted

Saints Row dominates GTA so hard, it's not even funny.

There's no day/night cycle in Uncharted either. That Ass Creed video looks awesome. I hope the PC version was worth the 4 months wait.

yeah, but uncharted looks better

that music sucked

What's up with not being able to create a normal looking white man in this game? You've got to settle with someone who looks completely out of place in toddler clothes.

Have fun taking your car to Rim Jobs, fellas.
-
have fun takin' yer slangin' and bangin' srsly
-
The second Saint's Row game is going the srs route too, according to the EGM I have where it is a cover.
-
the first one was srs, too! but it was ICY HOT SRS, which is awesome

My guy looks normal and awesome, maybe I'll take a pic of him later.

:rock
-
ICY HOT SRS is a great new genre designation
also, is T234 serious about that Rim Jobs dig? GTA invented the childish sexual euphemism as store name!
-
Rim Jobs has none of the class of Gruppe Sechs.
-
:lol :lol @ Patel.
I've been playing Saint's Row most every night for the past couple of weeks. The business names and shit isn't nearly as clever as in GTA, though.
-
For some reason Freckle Bitch's still makes me laugh.

:bow :bow :bow :bow
-
It's impressive that many of the 360s launch window games are still unsurpassed in terms of gameplay or graphics this far into the gen.
-
might have to check Saints Row if its as lol-worthy as you guys are saying
-
i just started saints row right now. GTA4 is in trouble.
-

Keep going dude. The side shit is great and the missions are bomb.
-
i just got the reclamation achievement.
-
Fuck Turok, I'm going to boot up my old save in this game and shoot for some achievements or something.
I loved customziing cars, I had dozens of them.
-
can you do activities when you take over all of Stilwater? maybe it will be easier to do these, when i got my saints covering my back.
guess i'll just focus on the main story right now.
-
Yes you can. There are no arbitrary obstacles to fun like GTA, everything is streamlined.
If you want tons of $$$ do the mayhem mission in the middle of the north island, in the high class shopping district.
-
I never tried Saints' Row 'cause I heard that it's got some bad framerate problems. Is that true?
-
It's better than the PS2 GTAs in frame rate and it actually looks good compared to other games on the console.
There's also an option to turn off vsync and get a better frame rate.
-
looks and runs fine. i just blew up some crack labs. woot.
i like how you can carry health packs (fast food) with you. awesome.
i get pwned on Level 8 drug trafficking though. distinguished mentally-challenged driver.
-
What took you so long to get this game?

Bitch please.
-
Here's a question, with all my territories, that each supposedly bring in $3k a day.. Why don't I see that money? I go to my safe and it is never that much.....
What am I doing wrong?
-
What took you so long to get this game?
I've had it for a while. It's Robby's.
-
I couldn't get into Dead Rising with all the loading and the save system
I need to pickup Saints Row
-
I love that Saints Row song.
-
I love that Saints Row song.
You unlock it when you find all 60 hidden CDs
There's so much in this game that's done better than GTA, it will be LOL if GTA4 does not mimic this just to catch up.
-
:lol
You pour a 40 out to revive one of your homies, thats hilarious
-
fuck I gotta play this
-
It's so good. I'm taking over strongholds by myself. It's not cumbersome, it's not hard to control, it's not fighting itself. It feels like a normal action game when you do these missions. It's so natural. I can't go back to regular GTA. It's embarassing.
-
The game is fuckmazing, I will be popping it back in this week.
-
I have taken over all of Los Carnales territory. I am now working on the Vice Kings. I'm running through a brothel right now, slaughtering some people while looking for some chickenhead named Tanya.
Game is still awesome. Though some of the activities are really fucking hard. Like Racing. Escort was pretty easy, and Chop Shop is really easy and you can take your time on that.
-
Does this game celebrate ghetto culture or take an ironic look at it?
-
It's not clever enough to take an ironic look at it, but it winds up being funny anyway.
-
since i can't make new topics or search:
Saints Row > GTAIV
reasons:
1. story that doesn't take itself too seriously
2. garages, and the fact you get to keep the cars you put in your garage
3. customization, and clothes that don't look like shit
4. something to do around every street corner, so no wasted space
5. game is hilarious and a lot funnier than gta4. "freckle bitch's" "on the rag clothing" omg far more compelling than tw@!
6. missions have variety, and even if, at least so far, there aren't multiple ways to do them, at least they're varied. All of them are things you'd find in a GTA game though, and some are missions that have appeared in GTA in some form. It feels like a GTA greatest hits.
7. best side missions in an open world game. so much content, so much variety, and it all has to do with crime.
8. actually recognizable gangs, and emphasis on gangs instead of a main character and his shitty pathos harkens back to my favorite fucking gta ever: gta3.
9. game rewards exploration, unlike gta4. the more you explore the better clothing shops you find, and stuff like that.
10. characters have personality and are awesome. Johnny is better than any character in GTA4. Isn't Johnny asian? He is the best asian character in a game ever. No stupid RELATIONSHIP bullshit.
11. money has actual value. Weapons are expensive and so are clothes and you can choose what you want at the get go, you don't have to wait till you get to such and such mission to use a certain feature, which gives the open ended feeling a boost. and since there's so many clothes and so many clothing stores to visit, you can feel overwhelmed. It's pretty cool. I also like how you can buy liquor or drugs for health boosts.
so that's 11 reasons why Saints Row is a better GTA game than GTAIV. Pathetic. Rockstar didn't even pay attention to the best gta clone out there and now SR2 is going to SMOKE GTAIV. lamo Good job keeping yourself away from your fanbase as far as possible cunts.
I prefer GTAIV's controls though, that's really it. You can't even look behind your shoulder on foot in SR. And in a car, you can't click the right stick in to see behind you, you have to press LB and RB. I don't like the fact you can't customize the controls.
I'm not sure if there's great rewards for the things you do in SR aside from respect or money though. It'd be cool if it pulls a GTAIII, VC, and SA and gives you cool rewards for everything you do like awesome suped up rare cars you can't get anywhere else.
I owe loan sharks 5000 dollars and they've sent a crew of hitmen to kill me. They're not a major threat as they're pretty easy. That's so badass though.
The side missions are the shit. Drug selling is the shit, as is insurance fraud, pimping is great, escort missions rock, mayhem missions are genius and play on the fact that open ended game fans like to cause mayhem.
It's like Saints Row knows exactly what to do with the genre while Rockstar thinks they can get away with the shit they pulled. I hpe the next gta bombs so they'll step their game up.

There are rewards for doing the side-missions, you get platinum guns (infinite ammo), new clothes, stamina boosts (do spray tags), new homies, new cars, new music to buy (finding the CDs)

:bow
gta4 ownzored
hail to the new king
-
CRACK-A-DOWN is still the best.
BUT I do want to give SR another shot. Maybe if I can find a cheap copy somewhere. The J version is in Japanese, so I don't want that.
-
I bought this game during lunch today.
€ 10,- :dur
-
If you obliterate a gang you get all their cars in your garage too.
-
Cant wait for SR2
Full Story Co Op bitches.
-
I can't believe it's taken me this long to go to the Scratch That store in SR! These tracks could single-handedly make the game at least twice as awesome as it already is. There's the adrenaline-pumping Ride of the Valkyrie and William Tell Overture from the Classical genre or the hilariously ironic Super Week-End and Week-End Pop from the Easy Listening genre. There's just nothing quite like running people over and shooting cops in the face while listening to upbeat lounge music. :lol
