At its best, Saints Row is funny, imaginative and gleefully entertaining. At its worst, it's lazy, generic and a technical mess. If it struck a consistent balance between the two, you could forgive its shortcomings, but the bad all too often outweighs the good.
GF365: "We all love experimenting with character creation to make unique protagonists. These are the games with the best character creation systems."
Slightly disappointing game but Wo Long had a good creator. I was impressed by Oblivion back in what 05, 06? But the worst i have ever seen, clearly, Valheim.
What was up with Wo Long?
Not looked at any reviews and did download it on my Xbox before I sold the console but never got around to playing it. Saw it drop in price on PS5 and was thinking of picking it up.
RE: Character creation
Oblivion hold a special place for me, when it came out on PS3, it was the first game of its kind that I had played and the character creator took was amazing.
I do like Monster Hunter: World & FFXIV, personally.
Cyberpunk did good in that department, despite its numerous flaws.
I played Oblivion day 1 on 360 and was impressed with the creator. Damn near 20 yrs ago, it was impressive at the time. Special game, unfortunately 90% of current gamers on social media have not a clue about the older stuff. Elder Scrolls is just Skyrim to many. They know not of Gothic and the old guard that paved the way. Flimsy ass rhetoric and recycled opinions about the same bs is what garners attention. Meme culture. Insight and intellect hold no place on the current day internet. Fuck likes, follows, BS. I say what i believe is relevant, what i'm interested in, and following means fuck all bc i don't respect 99% of the ppl online anyway.
For the "TLDR" bs. I'ma not space it out on purpose. Fuck you very much folks.
Honestly the one I remember being easiest and flexible enough to make any character I imagined was the PS2 WWE games, and Saints Row 2. I did really enjoy Dragons dogmas character creation too
I was gonna mention Black Desert but the game is horrible so...
Creator was the best part.
Lol CP 2077 is one of the easiest and less detailed editors around. It's all a mish-mash of presets.
GF365: "Whether it be style, speed or firepower, these rides are sure to satisfy. Here are our picks for the ten best vehicles in video games."
The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series
Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground
Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3
And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2
I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.
I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
In a recent podcast with Wassup Conversations, Scott Phillips the director of many games such as Immortals Fenyx Rising, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Saints Row The Third and Saints Row 4 talks about behind the scenes of those games.
if i see a low score of this game, i know its because the reviewer think Saints Row pretend be a GTA.. NO
Review aside, I'm excited for Saints Row 3, I'm glad Volition did a reboot of the franchise and chose the crazy insane gameplay, it's no longer a GTA knock off franchise, it doesn't take it self seriously, but it delivers for being what a game should be.
Fun.
For me personally.. i'm more excited for GTA V because of its realistic approach. I think this game is more tailored for teens rather than grownups and quite frankly it just doesn't appeal to me that much (insanely wacky and arcade feel). I like games that try to bridge the gap from games to reality, its kinda the same reason why i'm a HUGE Battlefield 3 fan and hates everything COD for it being too arcady and with Activision milking it without any major updates. A lot of stupid people fail to see that its the same game every year with different maps and if it continues to break records then please be aware that its a business and if easy cash-ins work then its what they'll continue to do.
Saints Row has always been about fun. I could give a damn about any rating for this game. I know it will be awesome.
I didn't think GTA IV was really anything genre-defining or spectacular...but I can support both games. SR3 deserves praise for trying to amp up the series...which they certainly did.
Its acctually a really good game, really fun to play with great exploration of places. Many people say that its a GTA knockoff when its not, its in its own league
