Zero Punctuation: Saints Row 2

[Colodomoko]

Yahtzee I love you, Thank you for loving this game, Thank you for pwning GTAV, and thank you for getting people to buy it.

Ha, and you guys didn't belive me when I said this game would pwn gta.

oh look who's lips need prying off of Yahtzee's ass, where did this ****** come from?

Ouch, such a hurtful comment and from a noob to. when you post more than me feel free to say whatever you want.

N1 Yahtzee. Far Cry 2 next?

My thoughts exactly, man I didn't even know the game had come out I just know it's going to rock.

Awesome review, as always, and now I'll have to buy Saints Row 2 when it comes to pc too.

Funny review. Particularly the bits about GTA. Good stuff

 

[Dommyboy]

Yahtzee is such a fanboy! Ahh! Flames!

Good video, Yahtzee seems to have been reviewing all the games I have played of late so its always good to hear some one else's opinion on it other than GTA COPY/CLONE.

 

[Relgaro]

I like both.
GTA IV for its Grittyness and Saints Row 2 for its less seriousness.

I might get it. But first I have to get Fallout 3, Fable 2, Left 4 Dead, and Dead Space. Ofcourse, by the time I have and am done with them, the planned new Hitman and TES game will probably have been made and released and will more than jump the line in games to get.

Clearly Yahtzee hasn't played City of Villans since most of what he said at the begining you can do in that online game, apart from it being batman that beats you up but heroes and even some villains who are in the way.

I've heard similar things from a friend of mine. Appears GTA has fallen whilst it seems Saint's row beat it. Sounds really cool and now I need to play the game sometimes. I've neglected my machines too much latly.

I have always found just blowing shit away is the funnest thing you can do in these type of games that's why mercenaries always intrigued me, but just a little. The thing that mercenaries 2 didn't seem to exceed in was story, but apparently that's not the point of the game and was asking too much. i guess going into this kind of game i shouldn't expect as much from the story as i do from the actual gameplay. I hope it's worth the rent for the moderate praise that yahtzee gives so few games.

Story's actually pretty good.

The only thing Saints Row did better is by adding a bunch of useless features. If Rockstar had left off where they did from San Andreas they too would have added a bunch of useless features.

Unfortunately they decided to NOT follow San Andreas' footsteps. They instead removed features and worked on other areas like,graphics,physics,and detail. I myself am a modeler and can appreciate the amount of work put into making the GTA 4 city. You can tell that in Siants Row 2 they just copied buildings and textures all over the place to fill things up.

To summarize what I'm trying to say in Gta 4 you can go to the middle of the city and stare at beautifully modeled buildings, amazing car models and physics, and an astounding amount of adverse and active pedestrians. In Saints Row you won't see any of that, but you can get in a side seat of a car and shoot rockets!

It really depends what kind of gamer you are. Personally I would love to have both scenarios. But if I have to chose I'd rather play a game that has style and grace than one that was made to keep ADD kids busy for long periods of time.

yes game with bad graphic are never any fun at all *rolls eyes*

Congratulations for being the first person to get me to go back and rewatch a review (they aren't funny the second time) Anyways,

Yahtzee specifically said it would have to be a "sandbox crime game." City of Villains is a MMORPG (a genre Yahtzee doesn't like). You can't just do whatever you want (i.e. sandbox) because there are other people who might not like it and will likely fight back.

But, yes, I agree with the general statement: What Yahtzee wants is a single player version of City of Villains.

very funny review as per usual. although "playing with an excitable dog in a paddling pool full of disembodied breasts" is a very weird thought

 

[crimped]

ok, that super villian game sounds good!!!

 

[Master Kuja]

While I didn't find it all too funny this week, it certainly has made me look upon Saints Row 2 in a different light, I may be inclined to go and check it out now, rather than just passing it off as a game that's to be left in the bargain bin.

 

[HeyZeus_Ezekiel_Jesus]

I prefer SR2 over GTA4 also.

 

[pandora114]

love it.

 

[KenzS]

Did he say Gears of War is realistic?

 

[Nugget]

Yahtzee. Play Evil Genius.

If "shades of brown and grey" means realistic then...yes.
