Ha ha, thanks for that video. Needed a little laugh after venting around on Facebook and IGN on people who are supporting this bullshit "new game".
Deep Silver just picked up what THQ left behind. Looks to me like no one bothered to sit in an office and discuss if any changes need to be made. After what DS did with Dead Island, I'm sure seeing the sales numbers for SR: The Third made them think "we can recoup any losses if we can sell over 4 million copies in a little over 12 months".
Assholes! I will get the game, which contradicts my hate for what I've seen and read, but it will be pre-owned. Publisher won't see that money. =]
Another thing that bothered me is how the person you are is supposed to be the same guy from SR1 all that time ago, but there's not an import character option, so you look totally different from 1 to 2 to 3. Being blown up on a boat, you'd think there would be severe burns. We're too badass to get burned lol.
But yea Saint's Row is a joke now. Like really... slapping people with giant dildo bats. Come. On. What happened to the basic concept of taking over the city with normal guns? No crazy vehicles, just cars and stuff. Normal radio stations, just normal?!
I know craziness can sometimes be good, but they went off the deep end I think a bit. Saints Row 1 and 2 had the perfect balance of comedy and seriousness. It was like a more arcade styled GTA. It was perfect.
OMG. Just saw that Apogee and InterceptorEntertainment are re-booting RoTT, or Rise of the Triad. I sure hope it finishes development and comes to the 360 eventually!
I mean I have watched before, but did not find it to be the least bit funny. Just like stand up comedians... same problem. They're just not funny to me.
