villa89 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 While so many games these days are striving for the kind of realism that makes people sit up and take notice, at least for the initial hours, Saints Row: The Third has instead decided to place its main focus on one thing that so many titles these days are sorely lacking – fun. My review A not so subtle dig at GTA IV, I like . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Got my copy but can't play it yet (it'll work tomorrow 18th as it's the release date), got it for £22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 if youre on console itll work fine now and if youre on pc surely the only way it wont work is if you need to activate it on steam in order to play, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yes i have a key from shopto (for steam) but it won't let me install it yet.. I could use a VPN and bypass it like that but i'll wait will carry on with Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted November 17, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2011 Getting this tomorrow - really, really looking forward to it as I'm a massive fan of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I've got Skyrim and MW3 on the go at the moment, yet I shall be picking this up too. I'm going to trade in GoW3 for it, even though I haven't completed that. Looking forward to some good fun and a different pace to the others games I am going through at the moment.

dudevillaisnice Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Got it installed around 8 hours ago (unlocked early on steam), great game.. the customization options in the game are fantastic. Not too sure on the handling of the cars though, i presume we'll see a mod of some sort anyway, still a great game.. travelled 126,580m already according to stats so don't let that put you off.

briggaman Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 About an hour in and I'm really enjoying it. Graphics aren't great but I don't really care when it's this fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted November 19, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted November 19, 2011 About an hour in and I'm really enjoying it. Graphics aren't great but I don't really care when it's this fun. They weren't kidding when they were talking about the entertainment factor were they? It even outshines SR2 in the fun stakes and that game was fun on toast.

Designer1 Posted November 26, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted November 26, 2011 Just finished this. You'd be hard pushed to find a game that entertains as much and as consistently for its 30+ hours. Not quite as varied (or long) as SR2 but the downright fun factor means it will be one of my favourites from this year. Plus it contains the best cameo since Bill Murray in Zombieland. Right, back to Skyrim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Cheapy D is in the game, isnt he? Though I doubt he justifies a "great cameo" tag as he is the most minor of internet celebrities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I doubt he justifies a "great cameo" tag as he is the most minor of internet celebrities. It's not hard to find if you google it, but I was in the lovely position of not knowing and it definitely made me titter, particularly with the cracking bit of dialogue he has with the Saints leader. Mind you, the whole game was full of great little one-liners and inside jokes, some quite obvious and some not so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hope this lives up to the hype and is dafter than number 2 as ive just picked it up in that 20 quid deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Yep, its awesome. The first few missions are epic. All the way through through the plane mission I was like :shock: not overly impressed with the textures and frame rate though (360) but so far im happy, top game!

legov Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 What about the PC version? Worth getting or is it just a cheap-ass console port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
