Guys, I understand that Jeff Gerstmann is a likable personality, and you may agree with what he says most of the time, but stop sucking off the boner. There's more than one knowledgeable person on the internet talking about videogames. Please, just shut the fuck up with the crazy, rampant obsession with Jeff Gerstmann and his opinions. Shit's worse than politics right now.
WOAH WOAH WOAH, that is TOO edgy for this thread. Take it somewhere else. Seriously though, no-one in this thread seems to be in the extreme position of..."sucking off the boner"? Never heard of that expression before. Sounds like a variation of "sucking off the teat".
I said that more as the culmination of people thinking of Jeff having the "be all, end all" opinion. I think it's been weirdly exacerbated in this thread a little too much, as well as other places. I'm just asking the community to, "get it together."

Also, I just Google'd this meme, and I'm pretty sure I've never laughed so hard in my life.

@Napalm: Jessica's death in SR2 was the best thing ever.
Agreed! Every antagonist death in Saints Row 2 is some of the best ever devised in an open-world actioner. I quite liked Maero's death scene, but Shogo Akuji's death scene is one of the greatest ever. He has his face smashed through a tombstone by Johnny Gat, and he is then buried alive.
I still think it's a little unfair that now people are finally clamouring to give Saints Row the praise it deserves, but better late than never.
yea this game seems like a extension of the what the crazy in SR2
Exactly. A lot of the weird zaniness people love about SR3 stems from SR2. The story isn't nearly as ridiculously OTT and a lot of the missions are pretty plain in comparison, but the story is much better than The Third's and there's a great deal more stuff to do in SR2 overall. That said, I do think that SR3 is the better game, but it had a lot of great foundation to work with. Saints Row 2 lasted me across 2 years of playing it on and off it was so goddamn unique at the time. I don't believe SR3 will be able to last me as long because a great deal of why I loved SR2 is all here again, just now with less variety.
In my opinion, Saints Row 2 is where that series finally came into its own. The story had enough over-the-top moments to make San Andreas look pretty small in comparison. In one of the final gang missions, you follow a drug lord into a mall, where you try to kill him as he's firing a chaingun at you from a giant army truck. In another example, you fill his crony full of at least fifteen or twenty bullet holes before he dies, and then cut his head off and throw it down at the meat packing line.
I don't buy this, "Saints Row 2 wasn't as crazy." Saints Row 2 had plenty of crazy, over-the-top moments in it. That ending with Dane Vogel is still one of my favorite final boss deaths in videogame history.
Also, can we stop comparing this game to San Andreas? Only the misinformed, in this day and age at the lifespan of this franchise will they still compare it to a decade-old game. Saints Row has been its own thing since Saints Row 2. Just because you might prefer The Third to 2 doesn't change this widely accepted fact.
I just started this game and I don't know what the broccoli I'm doing. I just got out of the first area, and now I'm on some nice, grassy plains. I keep trying to go through to this one area with a bunch of tombstones with skeletons, and I keep getting slaughtered. Before, I went down in this cave area and kept getting raped by ghosts. I don't know where I'm going, or what I'm doing! I also lost all of my souls underground by those ghosts.
You chose two paths which are supposed to be visited at higher levels. Look for a stone stairway up (from the bonfire), you'll find some skeletons in armor there. Go up the stairs to the big stone tunnel-bridge thingy and then you'll figure out where to go.
EDIT: Alright, I see the staircase you were talking about. It leads to a castle!
Yes, this area isn't as difficult, but I still died after taking out about ten or fifteen of those bastards.

No, life doesn't owe me anything. I've proven that even though through hardships, I can still do something with my life worthwhile and be somebody. You just have to start, and never stop.
Anybody who says Asus as, "uh-soos", and executable as, "exzecutible" deserves to be made fun of. Will Smith may be a ridiculously smart guy, but that doesn't make him any less socially awkward and dumb.
Also, it's all one big joke for Will to be the butt of the joke. His awkward-ness doesn't help that, but it's just how it all shakes out.
You don't enjoy the open world activities in an open-world game, OP? I prefer to take out gang operations, and the wave-based fights than the actual story missions.
