Poll: Do you like Saints Row 3?

[Mekado]

SR2 had more stuff but playing it on the PC was a huge PITA, just for that reason i prefer SR3...

SR2 made me feel icky. Missions like tricking someone into horribly killing their girlfriend? Blah!

If I was serious-yet-surreal sandboxing, Just Cause 2 still fills that niche beautifully. SR3 fills a niche I hadn't filled yet, a completely surreal and derptastic sandbox game.

Also, PC gamer here. Instant SR3 victory.

HEre is you're guys option for not playing Saints Row 2. GO FUCKING PLAY SAINTS ROW 2!!! It is a great game and completely worth time and money. Though if you are only looking for wacky fun and don't care about a good story then yo are better off with SR3. Sorry if tat seemed a little harsh, but it is a really good game.

Cool! Just make it work properly on PCs, and I'll do it!

...Oh.

It's a fun game, but there's no real depth there.

In Grand Theft Auto, I'm happy just driving around the city, soaking in the atmosphere.

Saints Row 3 just doesn't have that.

I had this nice comeback about how looking for depth in a Saints Row title is like looking for olympic lanes in a hot tub, but then I remembered the brilliantly poignant moments from SR2, and I have to hold my text. The funeral scene, anyone? The mercy kill? Still two of the most powerful scenes I've seen in gaming. Saints Row 3 is fun, the dialogue is great, and the variety is decent (better if you're willing to pay for some of the cut content, which I won't get further into), but it's not quite as good as its predecessor.
