Why Saints Row 3 Will Be "A Breath of Fresh Air" For Open Worlds

OXM: "When the first footage released for a game is a two-second clip of a bloke getting smacked in the balls, you know you're onto something... different. Saints Row: The Third is the Mad Hatter of the open-world genre (and speaking of which, expect some pretty loony hats), disdaining stuffy questions of morality, rigid plotting and generic weapon set-ups in favour of bling-tastic mischief-making on a very grand scale.

OXM previewed the threequel at length in issue 72, pronouncing it one to watch. For more details - including thoughts on non-gender-specific heroes and "feeling like a badass", here's project design director Scott Phillips."

@TheGames - we aren't knocking him because he doesn't like Saint's Row, it's his inability to try something he deems as a "clone". We aren't talking about Fortresscraft here. Using a basic idea and expounding and making things better doesn't make it a "clone".

He must hate platformers - clones of Super Mario Bros.
He must hate Call of Duty/Halo - clones of Doom.
He must hate RPGs - clones of Final Fantasy.

There are very few original ideas anymore. Just because something falls in the same category does not make it a clone.

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.

ModsDoBetter354d ago

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.

IamTylerDurden1354d ago

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

IamTylerDurden1354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

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.

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.

dumahim458d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno458d ago

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.
