I wasn't crazy about 4 but overall really dug the franchise, and the latest one just seemed so lazy and uninspired. Guess that was the common consensus. Wish the best to the folks who work there regardless though. <cite>Cephalopods posted [p:975776568] in Volition G...

Mr_Karate_II 08/31/23 5:48:19 PM #92:	1 was pretty much a GTA clone, 2 started to shy away from it, 3 was doing its own thing which I loved and 4 just went nuts which I also loved because it didn't take itself seriously at anytime.

For my friend and I, it was just really fucking glitchy. Both harmless "hahaha that is pretty goofy" glitches (it the game was just these kind of glitches then we could have easily powered through to complete the game) and "yeah, this shit just broke my game" type glitches. This game has a prank option where if you play co-op you can turn the other player into various options. We was messing around and my friend turned me into at toilet.....my character could not turn back. It would have been a permanent glitch had I not had a back-up save of my character off of the boss factory AND me turning off cloud auto-saves thus I had a back-up of my character from like, 3 hours ago or so My friend had his mission progress glitched (one of the many known glitches around release) and could no longer do story missions.....it didn't matter if he was by himself playing single player or joining other people's games, it just straight up glitched and could no longer progress. We were already some hours into the game so when this happened he just put the game down and never played again. --- GTag:MadDogg730 PSN:lMadDogg NNID:xMadDoggx NS friend code:5313-0564-0819 Go buy cyber shadow like right now. <cite>Mad-Dogg posted [p:975780575] in Volition G...

Compsognathus 08/31/23 5:54:29 PM #97:	TheGoldenEel posted... I thought nobody liked the first one, it was a lame GTA ripoff that did nothing better One was fine. It was kinda just bargain bin GTA but with quite a bit of jank. Especially given that at the time GTA was still kinda wacky. SR2 is when it really found its voice. It was wacky, but not to the point that it undercut the dramatic bits. The world was big and interactive. The characters developed a bit better. The story improved. At the same time GTA started to become serious business so, Saints Row comfortably held the title of tongue-in-cheek open world crime simulator pretty firmly. Then 3 came up and it increased the wackiness by several orders, this time at the detriment of the story and the characters. It also reduced the interactivity of the world and the character creation. 4 went complete wacky. But this time to its benefit as it kinda gave up on even being a crime sim. It was just a what the fuck simulator and it honestly worked better than 3. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:975780597] in Volition G...
