STRAP IT ON THIS HOLIDAY WITH SAINTS ROW®: THE THIRDTM

THQ and Volition Inc. Take Open-World Action Over the Top and Then Some in
Next Installment of Vaunted Franchise.

AGOURA HILLS, Calif. – March 3, 2011 – THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) and Volition, Inc. ® today announced the upcoming release of Saints Row®: The ThirdTM, the highly-anticipated next installment in the multi-million unit selling Saints Row franchise.

Developed by Volition, Inc., Saints Row: The Third is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC this holiday season.

“Saints Row: The Third puts you on top of the world, right at the beginning of the game, with all the perks that go along with being the head of an elite criminal organization,” said Danny Bilson, THQ Executive Vice President, Core Games. “There’s no delivering pizza, no shuttling family members about in a long series of taxi missions. Instead, you take all the power of the Third Street Saints and you take the world by storm.”

The first details of Saints Row: The Third will be revealed in the exclusive cover story in Game Informer®’s April issue, shipping to subscribers in early March 2011.

About Saints Row: The Third
Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to a new city, playing out the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen. Strap it on.

:bow NEW CITY :bow2
:bow GAT BOBBLEHEADS :bow2

strapping it on as we speak :hump :tauntaun

That picture sums up GTA vs Saint's Row pretty well. GTA is the huge franchise that sells a billion copies, and Saints Row is the small-time contender that's quietly just raping the crap out of GTA over and over.

THQ announced the story details behind the long anticipated sequel, Saints Row: The Third, today.

‘Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you.

The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control.

Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and defend yourself against a highly-trained military force using only a sex toy in the most out- landish gameplay scenarios ever seen, igniting a city-wide war that will set Steelport on fire. Strap it on.

there is some info and scans out there now.  some info has been posted on gaf.  I like this part:

Quote
One tedious aspect of open world crime games is waiting for the repetitve carjacking animation to complete.The last thing you want to do when youre on the run from the cops is wait for the door to open,the driver to be pulled out,and your character to get ready to drive.In saints row 3rd the LB button acts as a sprint button as well as a modifier.Volition refers to it as the AWESOME BUTTON,because it amlifies almost any action you do.In case of carjacking,this shortens the process down to a missile drop kick int the drivers seat.Sprint at the car from the side and youll break through the window,sending the driver flying out the opposite door.Approach from the front and youll leap over the hood,giving the driver a face full of boot.If youd rather stick with traditional means,the camera zooms in on your victim as you shoot them in the face,or slam the door on their head.

Shoot em up is their inspiration

stolen from gamefaqs
Quote
-Weapon Customization
- CoD Modern Warfare 2-Style Predator Drone air strikes
-Gun which allows you to hack into vehicles and either hijack them with their driver still inside, or use them to control them like UGVs(Unmanned Ground Vehicles)
-Steelport ONLY, no Stillwater
-you will target the gangs by taking over their criminal rings, which is the new way of completing activities
-drug dealing/prostitution activities: - controlled by luchadores,.
-security/money laundering activities: - controlled by the deckers.
-Mayhem: activity - controlled by syndicate
-STAG i guess is our new form of law, which could account as the swat or military.
-gang colors are back, morning star are red, luchadores are green, deckers are blue and saints are purple again.
-Theres some new wacky diversions and activities, one of them involves driving around with a tiger in your car ala ricky bobby style! and some crazy japanese gameshow that pits you against rival syndicate members in a survival of the fittest running man course.
-you have a huge golem as a homie, these freaks are failed cloned experiments, so while he's stupid, he's very freaking strong.
-there's also another diversion called "tank mayhem"

As i said

Sex Toy Bat
While it’s by no means the most subtle weapon in your arsenal, this floppy phallus packs a mean punch when used as a melee weapon. The top of this sex toy seems to have a mind of its own, wobbling around in a disturbing display of physics. Give a grandma a swift swing with this bat and you’ll witness a splash of blood and a body slamming against the pavement. It can’t feel good to get knocked out by the sex toy bat, but we think the insult may be worse than the injury in this case.

Volition has decided to axe the competitive multiplayer from Saints Row: The Third in response to overwhelming demand from fans for co-operative play. Apparently, competitive multiplayer in both of the previous two games wasn't nearly as popular as the main story-driven campaign, so Volition has gone to town with the third game's co-op.

fucking thank god for that, the only cheevo that stopped me getting 100% in SR2 was the fucking "Kingpin" cheev, which requires about 60 hours of competitive multi. Oh, and the "Confidence Men" (do all activities in co-op) achievement that me and Chronovore went for, which he got and it fucking glitched on me  :( Oh well, 58 out of 60 cheevs ain't bad.

I AM EXCITE.

This is just fantastic news. The co-op, once it was working, was as fun as a barrel of monkeys. But tuning competitive deathmatch is a whole different matter.

But as Sceneman points out, even when co-op was fixed, it wasn't entirely fixed. Man, that was something else. What'd we spend? Like three weekend sessions doing those Co-Op Activities?

You should play it immediately. There is no shortage of jank in the game. Not Deadly Premonition or Mercs 2 levels of jank, but janky nonetheless.
Title: Re: STRAP IT ON THIS HOLIDAY WITH SAINTS ROW: THE THIRD
Post by: The Sceneman on March 15, 2011, 12:55:08 AM
Deadly Premonition isnt janky though. The scenery poly-count and textures are sub-Dreamcast but the game engine and gameplay are solid. Theres no bullshit physics or ragdoll shit/getting stuck in scenery etc. to speak of. Sure the driving and tank controls are "clunky" by todays standards, but they do they job.

I guess I'm just arguing vidya slang semantics here - I'm defining 'janky' as being: "dodgy game engine shit gets you stuck in the road/in a doorway/on a garbage can and thus makes you swear and fucks up your gameplay". By this definition RDR is the jankiest pile of shit ever next to Deadly Premonition, lol. The Euphoria Engine sucks!

Quote
The PC ports of Saints Row 2 and Red: Faction: Guerrilla were both created by external studios - and suffered quality issues.

For their follow-ups, however, Volition decided to bring PC development duties home – and Barker reckons PC gamers will reap the rewards.

"You should see [the PC version of Red Faction: Armageddon], it looks absolutely beautiful. If you've got a great graphics card it looks fantastic. We definitely believe PC games are great and if they're done right and done well by a studio, they're phenomenal.

"There's a lot of debate and discussion. I can't predict the future, but I'm really happy with how Red Faction: Armageddon looks on PC. It's beautiful."

In recent months some high-profile games, including Crysis 2 and Dragon Age 2, have suffered leaks and popped up on torrent sites ahead of release.

THQ's own Homefront was also available to illegally download ahead of release.

But Volition isn't too bothered about piracy. "I don't think [piracy] is something at the forefront for us," he said. "First and foremost, we want to make sure we're making a game people would want to pirate. Let's make a game that's worth stealing, and then we'll worry about making sure they don't."

yeah, great news that they're working on the PC ports.  Saint's Row 2 on PC was so dreadful that I kept playing it on my 360!  RF:G ran at 1.5 or 2 times the normal speed, but it was awesome if you played Benny Hill music on top of it (eventually it got patched  :'( )

But you liked GTA IV, right?

Liking GTA IV but not Saints Row says some interesting things about your preferences. GTA IV was a well-intentioned but entirely too serious "Open World" game where there was nothing to do except the storyline. Saints Row is more about user choice than the main story. Look at the character creation stage: SR gives you millions of variations, and GTA IV gives you a different tracksuit jacket. After playing for an hour. GTA IV sends you out on story missions, Saint Row says -- "wanna blow shit up? here are some grenades." 

Most of all, SR is even player-facing in its mission save/load. GTA IV says "TRY IT AGAIN, STUPID. IN FACT, DRIVE YOUR ASS ALL THE WAY BACK, SO YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN." Saints Row says, "Huh, that's too bad. Want to try it again? Here is the last checkpoint, with all your ammo and armor in the same condition, and your car is parked at the same fucked-up angle you left it on the curb."

So... basically you want to be with someone who treats you badly and disregards your needs.

This is actually a pretty sound analysis. Unless it was your original intention to make a joke, I do enjoy being abused and dominated. However, that has little to do with why I enjoyed GTAIV and why I didn't enjoy SR. Honestly I still can't decide why I liked GTAIV so much, it's actually kind of frustrating. I agree with most criticisms, at least the ones about the repetitive mission structure and lack of mid-mission checkpoints, and yet still I loved the shit out of that game.

I feel I should mention I have a hard time enjoying open-world games, so while I'm sure SR nails everything fans of that genre are looking for, I can't stand sandbox games in the first place. It doesn't seem like SR does much else for people who are looking for more than just a really dynamic open-world experience, which is great, but not what I'm looking for.

At least he's not one of those fegs who hates Saints Row because it "stole" everything from GTA or some similar pathetic reason (http://www.games-ranch.com/forum/images/smilies/jerkit.gif)

Yeah I never understood this mentality. If anything, Saint's Row is the reason I love GTAIV even more. Without SR, I don't think Rockstar would have ever realized how much they fucked the player over on a regular basis with their previous game design philosophy.

I like the second Saints Row. It was a fun open world game. I still prefer GTA and the GTA series and GTA 4 by a wide margin but like I say I always know that opinion is in the minority on here and on GAF. I don't like the story or characters of Saints Row which is kinda a big deal for me in open world games as I tend to need to feel immersed in the world or the story to enjoy open world games but even without that I found Saints Row 2 enjoyable so I'll mostly likely enjoy this one also.

I like SR2 a lot more than GTA4, but I can understand that.  The city in saint's row is pretty sterile and lacks a lot of the character of liberty city in GTA4.  There is a lot of detail in that world and it's actually kinda crazy when you stumble upon the tinier ones; I've found fun in the game just by cruising around the world.  I just wish playing missions was more fun, and the mechanics weren't so sloppy, and there wasn't a bunch of archaic design that makes playing it a hassle.  It's crazy to think that GTA4 didn't have checkpoints until the DLC, and it still didn't impact the main game.  Saint's Row nails a lot of that stuff.

Post by: chronovore on March 20, 2011, 12:51:14 AM
True 'dat.

It's funny, the first SR tried SO HARD to distance itself from GTA. The side games were always about pimping, drug dealing, or some other crime. GTA's "samaritan" stuff, like Vigilante, Ambulance, Firefighter, these were all absent from SR1 presumably because they wanted the player to feel like a gangster at all times.

Then GTA IV dropped all those from the game as well, and SR2 implemented each of them, and did them better. FUZZ is probably the best of the bunch. The firefighter missions feel like a bad dream where stuff is burning but people aren't reacting to it... or catching themselves on fire. The ambulance has an AED minigame. :lol

I never do all that extra stuff in open world games. Red Dead Redemption was the first one where I felt tempted to and did some of it.

I just like the setting of them being in an open world. It's why something like Mafia 2 not having a lot of traditional open world world elements didn't bother me also.

I know other people are the opposite though. It's why games like Just Cause and Crackdown are popular (especially on forums) even though I really don't care for either of those.

What I liked about Saints Row is that design wise it was a very smart game. They constantly upgraded you and had upgraded mechanisms in place for doing the extra stuff or even story missions. Something I fully admit GTA 4 desperately needed. That was really good design and I enjoyed it which is probably the reason why I liked Saints Row 2 despite not really liking the humour or style of the game.

For what its worth I always think its a good thing both titles exist. Saints Row for people who want all the crazy stuff. And GTA for people who may want something a bit different than that. I think its a good thing that both series are pretty different from each other now.

There's something bizarrely appealing about the Saints Row series to me.  It's like a team of juggalos got together and designed a GTA game.  It's fucking clown shoes stupid but that's what I like about it.

We all like the characters just fine. Johnny Gat is superb in both, and the writing for other characters improves in SR2 when it firmly decides to stop taking itself seriously. The Samuel L. Jones-like gang leader in the first game desperately wanted to be in a John Singleton movie, when what was called for is The Three Stooges Go to Compton.

Saints Row 2 understands that better than its predecessor.

Things I want GTA5 to take from Saints Row 1/2:

- Cruise control
- The garage. You can you save any vehicle in your garage for later use and add to your growing collection. Garages are universal, so no matter what hideout, so long as your car is saved you can use it. If your car is destroyed you can pay a fee to get it back.
- Car surfing.
- Planes, whacky vehicles like mini-bikes.
- Free aim. None of this lock on or hold in the button to shoot garbage.
- Gang stars, rival gangs get stars as well as police. Piss off a gang too much and you'll go on all out gang war mode.
- Hostages. Get in a car with someone in the passenger seat? Take them for hostage and start a side mission! How long can you outrun the police?
- Co-op.
- Cancel mission mid-mission.
- Various activities: mayhem (wreck havok and destroy property for points), gang wars, prostitution, drug wars;etc all with varying difficulties and multiple levels.
- Customization: customize your hideout, your gang, your cars.
- Customize yourself: your personality, your movements, your walk, everything about yourself.
- The ability to buy vehicles.
- Respect meter, can't do certain missions without gaining notoriety first.
- Unlockable abilities: increase sprint, increase healthy, increase defense, increase jump.
- No health kits. Regenerative health, but make sure you could be able to die pretty easily.
- Fail a mission? Display a result screen that shows how much you suck and opt to return to checkpoint, beginning of mission, or cancel the mission. ONLY allow BUSTED and WASTED when not on a mission.
- Cell phone with actual use. Still have the ability to call friends but make it for useful calls only. Like, sending me a ride when I'm in the middle of nowhere.

Thinking about it, it seems I just want Saints Row these days. :(  Because that is like, literally everything in Saints Row 1/2.

If only we could have a Saints Row with R*'s production values

yeah, saints row 2 celebrates the crazy mythology that surrounds gangsta culture as told by hip-hop; it doesn't try to tell the REAL STORY OF DA MEAN STREETS. we don't wanna live out tupac's ACTUAL life; we want to live out the lives as celebrated by mainstream rap and hip-hop culture, where every day is a new war, where every minute is a new score, a new drive-by, a new bitch, a new blunt, a new cop face down on the asphalt, a new loco moment of straight-up villainy against society (preferably while dual-wielding rocket launchers from a super-charged vespa)

Now if I could only get someone to watch my Home video.....

Just listened to the Gamespot video again, and realized he said "no competitive multiplayer" and "co-op only."

How freakin' cool is that? I love playing Saints Row co-op, and the competitive online in 1&2 always felt like good ideas with bad tuning and absolutely no accounting for griefers.

Now if they just implement a "cheats active" check BEFORE allowing other people to join my game, I'll feel like I've been delivered to the holy land.

Saints Row 2 on the PC ran at a super-smooth 5fps, never dropped a bit!

Unless your rig can max out Crysis, then you can look forward to 30-40fps! (Note: Not a joke.)

Bored yet? Good -- our job here is done.

SR devs: Here, stuff yourself on fun. You want more!? You insatiable pig-- Ram this swirling rainbow up your ass. Not enough!? Here, wear these technicolour dream goggles; don this leopard-patterned leotard.

From SA:

Quote
Decided to time how long it took in both GTA IV and Saints Row 2 until you kill (or in GTA IV's term, "Knock Out") your first non-pedestrian.
GTA IV: 28 Minutes, 45 seconds (assuming you blow off the date and decide to go help Roman instead)
SR2: 3 Minutes, 5 seconds.

Also worth noting, I did not get my first weapon through the story until approximately 33 minutes into GTA IV. In Saints Row 2, I had a nightstick, pistol, shotgun and an assault rifle in my inventory and was using a machine gun to blow up police helicopters and boats within the first 8 minutes of the game.

:bow :bow :bow

Also, Power trailer deconstruction by lead writer, Steve Jaros. Has a neat take on some of the more intimate details in the trailer that only SAINTS ROW freaks like ourselves will appreciate.

Game has full of qte's now akin to the Fight Club finishers. Not sure what to think.
If they're similar to the actual controls you'd use to do the related move, e.g. if Right Trigger is "leg-sweep," it may be OK.

I will say one thing for Wanted: Weapons of Fate, the pre-scripted sequences, the cinematic rushes into danger, those were the first time I've actually enjoyed playing through a QTE. Then again, you were largely using controls which were part of the main gameplay -- aiming and shooting.

I don't think they're going to do that anymore unless it's a side mission. If you've watched the missions so far like the Skies over Steelport mission, you'll notice that the missions have bigger scope now. It seems their goal is to make missions have more impact now.

Watch:

And if you ARE going to be killing 5 pmips, I'm sure the game will make you do something as ridiculous as possible while doing it (see: having a shoot out in mid-air while sky diving)

Itagaki will feature as a playable character, giving gamers the chance to don the signature leather jacket and sunglasses and run amok on the streets of Steelport when the game ships later this year.

Itagaki himself actually introduced his own character during the THQ presentation, and took control of him for a while. Naturally, the first thing he did was punch some innocent bystander in the stomach. He then proceeded to ride a flying jet ski down the busy Steelport streets and mow down people before parachuting off and launching a missile attack on a nearby Luchadores hangout.

Saints Row 2 multiplayer has 'cheevs for many badges. They are hard to collect. The one I mentioned is only obtainable on one day out of each year, but all you have to do is complete a Ranked multiplayer session. If you had 14 badges and were having trouble getting your 15th, this is your chance.

Even on Casual difficulty, there are Activities which are just infeasible. The Repo Man/Tow Truck one, in particular, is just about impossible unless you play it in Co-op, and have your partner drive the car while you drive the tow truck separately.

At least, even with my highly tuned driving-and-shooting OWG spider-sense and mega-powers, it was the only way Scenester and I were able to complete it.

Post by: chronovore on October 09, 2011, 09:44:36 PM
I finished all the Activities on my own in SR1. Drug Dealing was a HUGE GODDAMNED RUSH. I felt like I was hearing Flight of the Valkyrie during the later stages of the Activity. I had cleared the whole map of competition, taken over all the neighborhoods, so it limited the rival gang response. There were no randoms added to their force, only what the Activity spawned. Even so, it was a near thing.

Tow Truck in SR2, just no way.

Post by: cool breeze on October 26, 2011, 01:27:49 PM
character creator is kind of limited in body sizes,  probably because of the art style and capped animations.  male characters always have super broad shoulders and a barrel chest in clothes.  but the improvements from SR2 are great, and SR2 already has one of the best character creators.
Title: Re: STRAP IT ON THIS HOLIDAY WITH SAINTS ROW: THE THIRD
Post by: Himu on October 26, 2011, 02:25:08 PM
Things missing in SR3 that were in SR2:

Secondary hair colors
Clothing layers <-- this is huge for me
socks <-- lol
walk animations <-- could be a hit if you care enough

The character customization itself has been downgrade just a tiny bit in regards to the minute details, but the clothing options make up for it. I was picky in regards to clothing in both 1 and 2, but I love every piece of clothing in Third's Initiation Station and this isn't even the full clothing palette. Also, the Third's character creator allows you to go far and beyond. SR2's character creator, unless you're playing on pc, is mostly surrounded around human characters. In SR3, you can make whatever: superhero, robot, Dr Manhattan, zombie, alien, and the game actively gives you the tools to do this from the outset.

So in many ways it's a huge upgrade from 2, but it's also missing some of the more intimate details that made 2's great (clothing layers for example). I see a lot of suit jackets, and most of them come with pre-fixed turtle necks and shit. In SR2, if I wanted, I could put on the jacket, then a t-shirt of my choosing. Not possible in SR3.
Title: Re: STRAP IT ON THIS HOLIDAY WITH SAINTS ROW: THE THIRD
Post by: cool breeze on October 26, 2011, 02:36:48 PM
I thought it was just for the character creator.  that's a bit disappointing if this is exactly how it will be in the final game.  more than layering, I like choosing the wear options (tucked, untucked, etc.)  the hair colors did seem too limited.  like, there's either light brown or jet black; no real dark brown color option.

and I like that the male voice options are now American white, Austrian white, hispanic, and zombie.  although, SR2 didn't have a proper American accent for white characters.

the one thing I hope hasn't been removed is singing along to the radio.  those scenes with the zombie voice would be hilarious. 

Title: Re: STRAP IT ON THIS HOLIDAY WITH SAINTS ROW: THE THIRD
Post by: Himu on October 26, 2011, 02:39:23 PM
Well, could be wrong, but I figure that all the character customization sliders are what we get in the final game. Clothes and tattoos, of course there's more in game (still quite a lot of clothes even in IS, though).

As many of our PC fans are probably aware, the Saints Row 2 port on PC could've been a lot better. With Saints Row: The Third though, we've taken all of the development of the PC version in-house, so that the PC version will be at the same level of playability as the console versions. Today though, since we're continuing "All Saints Day", we felt it was time to share some reasons why the PC version of Saints Row: The Third is worth your purchase.

First up, the Steam version of Saints Row: The Third will feature the Saints Video Record Mode, allowing you to record and export your most over-the-top gameplay clips, which you are free to share on social media sites and of course right here on SaintsRow.com. And if you’re a true cinephile, you can switch off the HUD and showcase your cheerleader assassin character in all her unblemished glory.

Post launch, the PC version will receive exclusive customization options, including oversized bobblehead masks of characters from your favorite non-THQ online shooter, Valve’s Team Fortress 2. They’re free, so Strap Them On! Stay tuned for more details in the future.

Other highlights include AMD Eyefinity support, DX9, DX10, and DX11 support, Crossfire enabled, SLI enabled, advanced depth of field, reflections, and ambient occlusion quality, and, of course, God Rays.

Saints Row: The Third on PC is not a port, and it's our goal here at Volition to prove that to our PC fans. We hope you enjoy the game when it releases to the public on November 15th!

What is your point? And how does this show that Saints Row is the most juvenile game in gaming? When we talk about juvenile, we are also talking content -- as in, you know, rampant themes and traditions and what the game is telling us -- rather than specific acts. I fail to see how punching someone in the dick should be necessarily labeled juvenile, and being juvenile does not necessarily equal a bad thing, either, because like I said, everything is directly derived from something's content and how it expresses such content.

Magus, the difference is that Saints Row is self-aware.  It's going to the "xtreme" but doing that as a parody of a million things in pop culture.  Similar to No More Heroes.  On the other hand GTA is trying to be serious while being the kid on the elementary school who shouts "vagina" in school assemblies and goes "hehe".

I can't stand GTA's "humor".  It's like comedy for the lowest common denominator audience.

Even more reasons why GTAIII and VC's are best 3d games in the series. The art style fit the world it was trying to depict, and a lot of the dialogue picks at itself and how absurd the whole thing was, in those games.

I think after that the writers for GTA decided their shit didn't stink and really started to put their heads directly into their assholes.

Ballad of Gay Tony was kind of self aware, in that the main character thinks every single person around him is an idiot.

Saints Row 2 is also a game where the main character sings karaoke along to Take On Me, and you go up against voodoo Jamaican gang that sells drugs inside lightbulbs. And you throw yourself into heavy traffic in order to get insurance money. Oh, and stop a "war" between pirates and ninjas while masquerading as a cop.

It is entirely self aware. That goes a longgggg way. So a store called Phuc Mi Phuc Yue fits the setting. As does knuckling someone in the dick.

Also, everyone knows that Saints Row is juvenile. But what is exactly wrong with juvenile? Juvenile can be fun! But something juvenile that thinks it's something more than that is far worse, which is our point.

So Magus, tell us what exactly is wrong with something being supposedly "juvenile"? If so, you'd probably like more adult mature games, but you don't. So then, what do you want?

You mention gay jokes but I have not seen one gay joke. I haven't seen a dick joke either, outside of the sexual appeal slider. You're talking about a series that lets you make a fat trannsexual with a hankering for bikinis and tubetops. Saints Row's humor is never about dick and gay jokes because it's counter untuitive to the whole "anyone can be anything" mantra of the game's design. GTA, however, is nothing but dick and gay jokes, which is especially prominent in my current GTAIV replay. But then, I'm using rational inquiry and that's too much for a Methodis post.

Saints Row 1: dick jokes
Saints Row 2: Dick jokes
Saints row 3: dick jokes

it's covered in dicks. The last line in SR1 is a dick joke. The first line in SR2 is a dick joke. SR3 is a joke.  The dildo bat is a big dick joke how do you not see this common man

i just don't like juvenile but that's not the point,the point is that it's kind of a hypocritical thing to do saying "gta is soooo juvenile and stupid" and then say "but i like saints row because it's self aware!"

both games are equaly stupid,in fact at least one of them don't give you a reward for walking around naked like in an episode of jackass
