Saints Row - Megatread

[espio100]

Saints Row is an open world, action-adventure video game for the Xbox 360. Developed by Volition, Inc. and published by THQ, Saints Row initially released in North America on August 29, 2006, followed by an Australian release two days later and a European release on September 1, 2006. It met with generally positive critical reception; reviewers noted its similarities with the Grand Theft Auto series, with some feeling that Saints Row improved Grand Theft Auto's open world formula. A PlayStation 3 port of the game was cancelled in 2007, with Volition moving on to full development of the sequel Saints Row 2, which released in 2008. The success of Saints Row and its sequel have since seen the development of Saints Row as a series, including a third and fourth entry.

Like other open world games, Saints Row allows players to freely roam the play space and engage in missions at their leisure. Missions are unlocked by trading in "Respect" points, currency earned by completing mini-games, and are played through three story arcs each with the objective of overthrowing a rival gang. Saints Row is set in the fictional city Stilwater, modeled on Chicago and Detroit. The player character becomes inadvertently involved in a gunfight between the three gangs fighting for control of Stilwater; Los Carnales, the Vice Kings, and the Westside Rollerz. He joins forces with the 3rd Street Saints gang, based out of the Saint's Row district, and works with the Saints to free Stilwater from gang control. (Source)

Saints Row 2 will have a place in my heart

[Tonkka²]

stufftiest franchise ever.

At least they work on their PC ports, GTA.

[Toxicology]

sr2 was the best imo

[espio100]

stufftiest franchise ever.

In my oppinion, Its much more fun than GTA V because its ridiculous, you can create your own character. And the possibility's are endless (nod rly).
But I like the realism of GTA so I play that more then Saints Row.

i'm sorry but even though i still play SR2 time to time this franchise is dead to me.

i'm surprised you decided to make a megathread about it as of now

I just like this game, Thats why.

EDIT:Wow, much Saints Row 2 Votings, Was the game THAT good? I might Pirate buy it!

[Qwepir]

I liked the gameplay and the way controls felt in the later games better but Stilwater was such a better setting than Steelport it's just depressing.

loving finally
I have SR3

[sir dooble]

Never played SR1.

Played all the others, and thoroughly enjoyed them.

SR2 was a lot of fun, but I definitely look back on it with rose-tinted glasses.

SR 3 was a good game too. I felt a little bit underwhelmed with customisation options though. There seemed to be a much bigger variety for SR2.

SR4 was fun to play, and I enjoyed it and the story.
But it was definitely disappointing in not having much new to the game, and having the same location again.
It would have been so much better if they had included Stilwater too (I didn't want to just return to there) or had created an entirely new location.
It had time and effort put into it, I'm sure, but because so much of it was taken from SR3, it just felt lazy.
