I really liked Shaundi, Pierce and Gat, obviously. I hope they return in some form to Saints Row: The Third. Also, this might just be me being a stickler, but I wouldn't mind the ability to import your character customization settings from Saints Row 2, or maybe you can get a bonus for doing so. This isn't really an expectation, per say, but it'd be nice. It seems they are going to be keeping the crazy, which I endorse one hundred percent.
 
What do you guys think? What are some things you'd like to see from Saints Row: The Third?

Of course Shaundi, Pierce and Johnny will be in SR3. I'm not sure why you would be worried about that aspect, especially Johnny since he was in both of the prior games. Importing your character ala Mass Effect 2 would be cool, but perhaps unrealistic depending on the modifications they make to the character customization this time around. 
 
What I'd like to see is a system ala Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood where you can send members of your gang to do certain jobs, making them gain EXP and being able to customize their individual looks and upgrade their weapons and such. You'd be able to call them to help you in battles and accomplish certain tasks.

i want uncensored nudity and a cat crossbow

I heard they changed Shaudi into a less stereotypically obnoxious-as-fuck pothead, which is the reason I really hated her in SR2. Every other thing she said was something about smoking a bowl and it just got tedious listening to her talk.

I'd suggest something but all I want is crazy shit, which they don't seem to need help making. Not requiring you to do side missions would be nice; I enjoyed some of them but I'd like to do them on my own time, not cause I need them for missions.

Highly, highly doubt we'll be able to import our characters, mainly because SR3 is running on a new engine with all new customization. Don't see much of a point of importing your character anyway...it's Saints Row, whatever he looks like now will not be what he looks like ten minutes from now.

I doubt we'll be able to import.

I just hope they don't drop support for the PC version this time around (but the community did patch Saints Row 2 themselves, Gentlemen of the Row being my choice), now that I've got a capable PC. =P

That will get the game banned in Japan ^^

Another radio station filled with rockin' 80's music!

I think the game is in very good hands, i have faith.

I agree with DH69.  At least about the nudity part.  I want to get a big skull and bones tattooed on my character's ass, and if I can't see it it won't be the same.

I know at least 5 girls who fit that description exactly.

I want to be able to destroy buildings. Then over the course of the game you see workers slowly rebuilding ones that you destroyed.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU FOR GENTLEMEN OF THE ROW

Regarding Shaundi, I thought it was quite funny she had slept with 90% of the men you met when she was with you.

I just want the PC version to be optimized well.  SR2 was not a high end game at all but it made my PC chug like crazy.
