Saints Row The Third Catch-All

I am looking to do a full coop run through of Saints Row 3 if anyone is interested. I never actually got round to doing it before.

Steam: IvorRama

Are you still interested in the co-op run? I just reloaded this game up with all the dlc.

So a couple of weeks ago I was itching to play through Saints Row 3 again and was very sad that the disc had become unreadable. Then I checked to see what game xbox was giving away for free.

I also just started playing SR3 this week thanks to GWG. I have ~$10 still in XBL credit, what are some of the worthwhile DLC packs?

Also, although I've been running around doing random stuff, I'm finding that I should probably do a bunch of the main missions, as I'm getting ahead of the tutorial parts in my roaming.

Genki Bowl a million times over. The others are... ehhhhh... they're more Saints Row, but they're not AMAZING. Genki Bowl though... totes worth it.

After I finished the campaign for 3, I was really itching to start with 4. My hard drive is low on space, so I deleted 3 to make room for 4. Now I'm kind of wishing I'd at least gone back and gotten the second ending. I might just re-download it later. Probably next time I see the season pass for cheap, since I didn't get it before (because I thought I already bought it).

I like all the DLC that gives you more missions, but Genki Bowl clearly has the most personality. Pretty sad that SR4 didn't have more Genki than it did.

Friggin' love this game. I am playing as the Russian girl. I just love how irreverent the game is. It is the anti-GTA and it is great for it.

Russian Girl is by far the best voice. By. Far.

She is utterly fantastic. I am really going to be sad when I finish the game because I'm going to miss her so much.

When they didn't put her in SR4, I lost much of my interest in that game.

I was disappointed too, but I've made do having my female character use the cockney dude. That is a reasonable substitute.

You made your female character USE the cockney DUDE?!

I used female 1 because I thought it was Jennifer Hale. I'll give the Russian a try on my 360 playthrough.

Gigantic disappointment.

Laura Bailey! Sheesh!

*stomps out*

I'm just kidding, I luv ya Bonus

Female 1 is still probably my favorite for both games... but the cockney dude and both the Russian and French ladies are awesome too.

Did they break the PC version of this at some point? Twice this summer I've tried to start a replay only to have it fall apart on the first mission (once a scripted moment failed, leaving me stuck in a room, and the other time it just froze and I had to CTRL-ALT-DEL out). I don't think I had these problems in the past.

I used the Cockney accent, and at one point late in the main game he says "I'll never understand Americans". Classic.

Third replay (maybe fourth? It's been a while). Pretty sure I made the exact same decisions in all my playthroughs with no regrets. This time, by the time Stag showed up I was a demi-god... My favorite part of the game. Screw difficulty and skill, I earned the ability to wage war against thousands of enemies in a never-ending melee of explosive death,and wage war I shall!

Now to decide if I will plow through the DLC before retackling 4. All to forestall my inevitable purchase of Agents of Mayhem.

Arise!

Saints Row The Third has been announced for Switch! How bizarre, but cool. Hopefully this leads us to a new entry in the series.

Third was my favorite. I hated the scenario of the Fourth (Base game). I enjoyed the ride, but the Third one got more nostalgia.

If you guys didn't play it, Switch might be a good platform for it.

I agree. I've played 3, 4, and am probably one session away from finishing 1, and 3 is unquestionably my favorite. Of course, 2 is on deck and highly regarded.

The strange choice to start in the middle on Switch, with the best entry, feeds my hope that this isn't about releasing several games and making a quick buck, but about creating more fans of the series ASAP ahead of a full reboot in the next year or two.

2 was good, but 3 is the singly most fun game ever made. Not deep or serious or anything other than pure, unadulterated, goofy fun.

I find this piece of audio fascinating:

Giantbombs Brad and Jeff furiously debate Saints Row Vs Skyrim for game of the year.

[Edit]. Forgot to add warning about swearing.

Obligatory.

*installs Saints Row 3*

Now I really wanna play 3 and 4 again.

I really wanna play Skyrim as my Saints Row character with access to twin rapid fireing pistols with exploding bullets and a dildo bat.

With the number of mods out there, I really don't see why you cannot.

Finished Saints Row 1 last night!

Saints Row 2 really starts with a bang! The boat sequence still experiences terrible framerates on an Xbox One X, but apart from that it's actually kind of jarring what a huge upgrade this game appears to be from SR1. The first game was kind of basic compared to SR3, but 2 appears much more polished.
