Fan Outrage Focuses on Saints Row: The Third

saint row the third. just felt like a bunch of parents was protesting outside THQ, to tone down their next saint row game and make it more kid friendly. what happened to smoking,drinking,drinking and driving,spray paint walls,ect. i hate what they did to it. i wish they go back to how they made saint 1&2 soo good, instead of this garbage.

What they did in Saints Row The Third was fun the first few play through's but got old real quick. Some things just ruined the suspension of disbelief, like when you lock onto a car with a rocket launcher and the car just disappears. If you are up high in the air, the cars you see below aren't really there so it does no good to shoot at them.

I don't want to be that person, but I believe the word the author is looking for here is "genre."

I loved SR3 - while sometimes it seemed over the top, it did so in a way that was decidedly toned down. Riding around town with a tiger in the passenger's seat felt normal for the game. Jumping in a fighter-jet and mowing down enemy gangs felt right in tune (if it didn't take all the challenge out of it). It wasn't as if the game threw you into the middle of a city and said "Here ya go, have fun with dildos and rocket bikes."

Actually...nevermind.

I think they went over the top with SR3 and the DLC just kept adding to that problem.

The thing I was disapointed the most with though was the map size. I was thinking because it was a new city they could of made it bigger then Stillwater. I mean look at how big Just Cause 2 was

This game would have been a gem if they focused more on the open world. It was so stale and boring that it brought the rest of the game down. The quirky humor in this game was stupid and repetitive.

I miss the multiplayer from the original Saints Row the most. Bring that along with the co-op campaign & I'll be happy.

My favorite is still Saints Row 1, it had a seriousness to it. I don't like the "over the top" SR3.

I can't stand how cartoonish the cars feel and drive. I feel like that is what made me go back to GTA. If you don't want to drive, you don't want to explore the city. And frankly, out of all the SR games- the 3rd game has the worst city of all. Its bland as all hell.

I didn't think SR needed to get any more zanier than they did in SR2. Nobody was asking for an extremely over-the-top game. It worked fine initially but I agree (and especially with all of the DLC packs) it has lost its flavor a bit.

Didnt know people had a problem with Sr3? Yeah some of the things get old quick but this game was one of the most fun and funniest games I played last year.

It's a wonder why THQ is going under...
