Mmm, Angry Joe had pretty much the same position, though it seems he and Yahtzee are in the minority on this one among critics.

I honestly feel that the 2 games are equivelent, SR3 does have some features that dont work as well as they did in SR2 but is also has a lot of new stuff that does work. One thing that I see in a lot of reviews is that people just talk about the stuff that SR2 had that SR3 doesnt and they skip the new stuff entirely.
I liked that they did something diferent, like when they made SR2 I liked that they made something diferent after SR1. For me this is what a sequel should be, its kind of the same without being the same.

This is what I mean, this guy didnt played the game and because of the reviews (most of them, this has nothing to do with ZP now) he thinks that everything is given to the player right at the start, its not. There are a lot of rewards, like:Prof. Monkeypox said:

So who else saw this one coming?
Yeah, there was no way he was ever going to give it as good a review as he gave the first one. Because as always people seem to have gotten the wrong end of the stick. He wasn't praising SR2 for being wacky, he was praising it for being wackier than Grand Theft Auto. When the third game is just wacky it loses the context in which he made the first review.
Ah well, I'll probably get it anyway, because I like my games wacky every once in a while, but that is really depressing to hear about the clothing options. That was practically the only reason I bought SR2.
Also, is it just me or has Yahtzee given three positive reviews practically in a row?

LOOK AT US! WE'RE CRAAAAAZAY!
So let me get this straight:
Extra Punctuation: Skyrim - "Goddammit there are too many options for character customization!"
Zero Punctuation: Saints Row: The Third - "Goddammit there aren't enough options with the clothes!"
It looks a little odd to complain about there being less options when a few days earlier (or later, depending on when the video was made) you went on about how there's "almost too many options" somewhere else.

Don't forget that another game got a lot hype and scores compared to SR3.999realthings said:
OT I did enjoy most of what was to offer from SR3 but would also look forward to the next SR if it had a little less "whacky" involved.
Wow, this really seems like a step down. The Saints Row 2 review was probably the first (if not only) Yahtzee review that actually got me to go out and play it.
While I can't say anything concrete about The Third, it did strike me as "trying too hard" in the previews. I don't know, I wil still probably get around to it at some point...
...so...many...games!

The story does have some sort of progression, just not "rags to riches". It's more about getting more and more powerful so that you can show the unruly Syndicate boss who's really "like a boss" by running through the final mission with bullet-proof skin and your choice of "death to all who oppose me" or "we the people of 'totally isn't New York'".
What? From everything I've heard, there's not really anything new in this installment, just way more emphasis on the crazy parts.Patrick_and_the_ricks said:
Well, he did explain that in a game like Saints Row, where you'll be looking at your character in cutscenes and during general gameplay, having characters that looks just how you want them to is important. But he felt that in a game like Skyrim, where you'll be spending most of your time in first-person anyway and absolutely none of it in cutscenes, it really doesn't matter that much.Vegosiux said:
Personally I love the character customization in TES games so I don't agree anyway, but that's what he's saying.
Yeah 3 definitely feels like it was lacking in content and modes compared to 2 but I still enjoyed it alot and unlike 2 I actually finished the story and 100%ed the game so eh.
The rest of yahtzees complaints though seem really odd based on his usual comments about games. I figured the non stop wackiness would have been right up his alley but I guess not.

100% agree with Yahtzee here. While SR3 is still very fun, it is missing "da magicz" that SR2 had.
Maybe they will actually come out with a Shuriken/Lightning gun that has tits and is on fire.trollpwner said:
And the tits will have that really ridiculous jiggle physics where turning a quarter of a degree rocks them like an earthquake.
Did anyone have some strange problem with the video feed when it would turn half yellow and with some blurry textures or was that just me?
(Most sandbox games aren't for me, but the reviews can be facinating.)
