The third was immensely better in every way, you're blinded by nostalgia if you think SR2 is better, I
played it recently and quit half way, the driving sucks it's so stiff, lots of homophobia and transphobia, albelism and sexism
I stopped playing it half way though.

Saints Row The Third was a No Man's Sky tier disappointment for fans back on release
The crazy thing that isnt even all of it. This was copied from another thread a while back, there was also another half to this list. I might have it saved as an image but not 100% sure where its at
It was the last time the games were grounded in any way to reality. They were never realistic, and always goofy, but they also knew when to take things seriously. The later games went so far off the rails that I no longer cared about the cast or what was happening on screen. And as silly over the top sandbox games they were fun to tool around in for a playthrough, but I could not for the life of me recollect a single fricking moment from any Saints Row game I played past 2 because there was nothing worth remembering.
It was a time where people actually cared and put passion into making games. Adding little details to things regardless if they thought the player would find them or not
Remember when we found out YEARS after the game came out that there's actually over a hundred individual spots you can stand at in the game to play custom unique animations, so your character can sit down and play chess with NPCs, start impromptu body building competitions, etc, all just solely to make the character fit in more naturally with the world when left idle instead of standing there doing nothing like every other game?
Is there a way to play it on PC without it throwing a shit-fit?
I will never, EVER forgive Volition for what they've done. The way they absolutely spit on the legacy of Mike Watson (IdolNinja) - and make no mistake, spit on his legacy is putting it lightly... a man who loved Saints Row 2 so much that he LITERALLY SPENT HIS LAST FEW DAYS ON EARTH WORKING ON SAINTS ROW 2 MODDING... promising that they'd put out his work and complete his dream PC port, only to shelve it completely and put out total shit-slop instead...
You can talk shit about Epic, EA, Activision, etc. And you should! But this represents an absolute moral failing on a truly disgusting level that no other developer can really even come close to.

I heard rumors on here a few months back that the patch was circulating in a closed off channel for testing in Volition's discord, I wouldn't be surprised if the bastards let it die there. Honestly I've played SR2 almost a dozen times and don't even care about playing it again, It's just disgusting to promise to finish a dying man's lifes work and do fricking nothing with it after the fact. I hope Gearbox puts them on a new Tales from the Borderlands project and guts them when it flops.
There has to be SOMEBODY in volition that has some fricking knowledge or at least is a nice enough dude to ask around if we ask them specifically, it's a huge company
the volition that made red faction summoner and saints row 1/2 are fricking dead its all socal basedboys who wouldnt stand for some random outside guy fixing their shit for them
This. These Black folk at Volition are huge buttholes for exploiting a dying man's love for saints row 2, because they wanted to convince oldgays that there is still hope for SR2 pc port, buuut they probably need to buy their newest shitgame in order to "motivate" them to keep working on the SR2 patch later on.
Now, some years after Saints row disastrous release, the studio has pretty much closed and the so promised patch is nowhere to be found.
These Black folk fooled everyone since they had absolutely no intention of making that patch(the radio silence about the patch progress and the fact that they hated old SR fans, were my redflags) and only got a dying man wasting his last days on a doomed project instead of spending time with his loved ones. Im sure IdolNinja must be rolling in his grave. Its absolutely unforgiveable.
The second game plays into the Playa/Boss is actually a ruthless psychopath gang leader. This was seriously the best change from Saints row 1 to 2 no wonder Julius was scared of us we always got shit done. https://youtu.be/LIVBCh-qe_0?t=676
Was amazed at how trimmed down SR3 was on the gameplay. When it became super linear and bunch of other games at the time went full-moron on gameplay and story decisions (looking at you, Borderlands 2), it gave a big sign of things to come later in the decade.
SR2 played it straight, presenting completely silly shit in a sincere manner, instead of jerking itself off about how meta and ironic it is so insecure normalgays can feel like they're "in on it". We will never have the old school gaming vibe back until the current industry totally collapses, and gaming re-emerges as a "nerd" and "loser" hobby again.
I honestly wished Saints Row never succeeded so Volition wouldn't have gone to shit, trying to profit off Saints Row for the rest of time no matter how each attempt gets worse and worse.
I prefer Sleeping Dogs, though.
it was made in the 2000s when everything was cool even if it didn't seem cool at the time
I dont understand how people were gaslit into thinking 2 was the series peak
silence zoomer dog

Sounds like a pretty good game.

this comment is unfathomably based.

sr3 is old enough for you to be blinded by nostalgia
But it was the series' peak. There's no gaslighting. I played it on release and have played it several times since then.
What you prefer the pajeet coded Saints Row 3?

you sound like a gay dude
>caring about things makes you a gay
being too insecure to care about anything doesn't make you cool

That's good stuff.

It won't be "right" until there's a decent PC port

COUNTIN HUNNIDS ON THE TABLE AND FIFTIES ON THE FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

They pivoted their cool gangster game with goofy side stuff into a full goofy game with gangster side stuff, shit was fricking stupid

I'm in the business of misery

Sleeping dogs was based. And it looked gorgeous back when it came out. Probably still holds up visually.
imagine making a game so shit it kills an employee who spent years fixing your mess
>no pc patch
