I liked SR IV a lot but this is getting flabby. I don't think Deep Silver has the pockets to make SR a current gen contender (PS4/One). To be fair SR hasn't been a contender since the first one.

SR 2, 3 and IV have been cheap as fuck.

I played 2 for the first time last year. I thought it was garbage. So cheap. The first one may have had an awful story but the gameplay was polished.

Playing games for stories

Himu has a weird priority for games. Whatever works for her, I guess. But I don't take seriously the opinion of someone who actually likes the Sims, and never will.

The first one was OK; there were some interesting additions to GTA's base gameplay, but the Activities in SR2 really opened up everything I enjoy about OWGs. SR2 is GOAT, and seriously god-damned difficult to finish the Activities solo.

Hey, I love modern Saints Row! I just don't like playing the same game rewrapped again for the 3rd time. I get that they have no budget and need to pump out a SR yearly for their publisher to keep interest while the real budget is going towards SRV, and I applaud the creativity going into IV & Hell to make them clever and fun, but they're still constrained with having to use the same city, a city that wasn't all that interesting even the first time in SR3.

I'll probably still play Gat out of Hell, but I'll wait until it hits the $10 range. Instead that trailer has gotten me in the SR mood so I'll finally get around to playing the SRIV DLCs instead (and Gat out of Hell next x-mas).

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #74 on:** December 03, 2014, 09:51:15 PM »

At least this version of Steelport looks much MUCH more interesting than IV's. That game's mechanics were super fun, but they somehow managed to make the city even more dull than it's already dull incarnation in 3. This at least seems to have some cool things going on.

chronovore · « **Reply #75 on:** December 04, 2014, 01:39:41 AM »

Oh. My. Fucking. God. I wondered where they would take saints row after the alternate reality, earth destroyed, end of everything scenario of saints row four.

FUCKING SUCKS!

If you were looking for an improvement to SIV go get the PC version. There are audio problems and the framerate is worse than it was on 360. Loads of pop in and texture issues plaque this release on Xbox One. Such a disappointment especially coming from Volition.

bork · « **Reply #87 on:** January 20, 2015, 01:12:20 PM »

There are audio problems on PC, too. They never fixed it.

bork · « **Reply #89 on:** January 20, 2015, 01:22:32 PM »

Yup. I reinstalled SR4 a few days ago and fired it up to see how it ran on my laptop. Runs maxed at 1920x1080P and 60 FPS. Awesome. The low audio sound effects issues? Still present. $:-\$

Disappointing. Graphics-wise it seems to be a bit worse than the PC version was on my old 460 gtx card (I could pretty much max it out on that). Lots of pop-in, draw distance is poor, framerate gets a bit stuttery at times. Zero anti-aliasing, jaggy shit everywhere. There's no reason it shouldn't surpass the PC version, or at least match it, but it doesn't. Looks like they kind of did the bare minimum and shoved it out the door. I'm glad I had a coupon and got my GCU discount, so I only paid $35 for it (and BB is giving $10 gift cards with purchase). Still the same fun game it was before, but ultimately it's a half-assed port.

The creators of The Conduit for the Wii did the port.

(And the Injustice one that didn't add anything either.)

I wonder if the Gat Out of Hell content is better? That'd be kinda funny.

benjipwns · « **Reply #98 on:** January 21, 2015, 07:58:16 AM »

So for $5 I'm quite happy, at $20 I might have been a little less since it basically is just Saints Row IV's gameplay again but with flying and Jay Mohr and Jane Austin. And I keep getting caught in junk, less so after I unlocked running up walls again.

I think it runs a tiny bit better than IV though, still maxed out. You can see where it was Steelport though if you had spent enough time in it over the last two games and the characters comment a bit on that. Though they have distinguished the different areas quite a bit more than in IV or The Third.

And the gas station tanks still don't send your car flying like in 2.

But on the other hand it has the greatest story ever written probably maybe except some others. And it auto-loaded in my Boss from IV.

benjipwns · « **Reply #99 on:** January 25, 2015, 05:50:03 AM »

After a couple more hours learning and upgrading the flight, this is quite fun, you slowly get back all your IV powers too basically and you're just wasting shit left and right. Only problem, no serious aerial combat yet. But when you get flying real fast inbetween everything (they added a bunch of walkways and stuff inbetween buildings so you can barnstorm), dodging missiles, grabbing souls, etc. it's great.

You can power up all the powers really really fast if you put off upgrading the weapons/etc. because you can trade the "cash" for the souls required. The high priced ultimate upgrade to the weapons are pretty cool for the most part. One is a throwback to Painkiller, sending the flying wooden stakes into dudes.

It's a really short game if you plow through, and they make a joke about how the loyalty missions and diversions and conquering territory are super vital to angering Satan and making him hate you and not in anyway an attempt to lengthen the game.

Also, Kinzie is just there for the co-op I realized, it's Gat's story. The chatter is slightly different but I figured I should stick to Gat for the "real" character stuff.

Saints Row, in hell, with flight and powers! $5 was an insane price since it's better than all the DLC for the last two games.

Take My Breh Away · « **Reply #100 on:** January 25, 2015, 06:27:36 PM »

To be fair, even running on my set up (FX-8530, 7870 OC, 8GB), the game runs like a butt on high and drops from 80FPS to 40FPS during heavy action scenes so not gonna hold it against High Voltage for working with an engine that has been hot garbage since SR1 (Red Faction Guerilla was running 40FPS till the Catalyst Omega update).

Just hope Volition's new engine is actually working from the start on PC versions or they just say "Fuck it" and jump on the Unreal Engine 4 Bandwagon like everyone else.

chronovore · « **Reply #101 on:** January 25, 2015, 08:23:26 PM »

SR1 and SR2 used the same engines. SR3 onward use an entirely different engine; it was part of the problem they faced in getting everything working properly, and part of the reason it's so light on content.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #102 on:** January 25, 2015, 11:10:47 PM »

I find myself excited by it, but I really want to finish SR IV before moving on to anything afterward. I’m also torn because it’s likely that a PS4 is in my future, and I don’t want to buy until I know which system I’ll be playing on.

benjipwns · « **Reply #104 on:** January 26, 2015, 01:55:06 AM »

It's not a huge spoiler but it was a fun joke, when they're talking about the diversions and capturing territory stuff as in NO WAY about adding content but instead ABSOLUTELY VITAL the storybook cuts to:

Also not unlocking the hover earlier was a really dumb thing on my part*, they have no illusions about how upgrading everything just turns you into a weapon of mass destruction and nobody in hell can do shit against you.

*Especially considering how baffling and annoying it is when you suddenly do it to people in Advanced Warfare.

I bought SR4 for the PS4. The port is nothing special but I'm kicking myself for having not played this when it came out. All points are going into super speed and super jump so I'm maxed out on those fronts, now how should I be allocating the rest of my points to become a GOD even more than I am now?

chronovore · « **Reply #111 on:** April 13, 2015, 01:24:57 AM »

Do you mean that by slanting his build toward speed and flight he is not an unbalanced build, or do you mean that all the characters in Saints Row are inherently imbalanced?

I'm not sure how you can pull it off in IV/Gat. It was difficult enough in The Third.

chronovore · « **Reply #113 on:** April 13, 2015, 03:33:41 AM »

I'll be pulling a Himuro by talking shit about a game I've not yet played, but I'm guessing Gat Outta Hell is more pure content tourism than any other installment in the franchise. There is not a lot of challenge in SR IV, there was less in III than in II.

SR II was the buggiest, but it was honest-to-god challenging, and I loved it for that. I don't think I finished soloing the Drug Delivery jobs until after I'd cleared the entire game, took over every neighborhood, and could mash "CALL BACKUP" repeatedly as I made my rounds.

benjipwns · « **Reply #114 on:** April 13, 2015, 04:10:39 AM »

2 definitely was more balanced vs. enemies, The Third started to overpower you early on, and IV lets you slaughter everything without consequence not very far into the game because of the powers.
