After turning their infamy into worldwide fame, the Third Street Saints now find themselves at war with a powerful criminal organization called The Syndicate. Strap it on.
I don't get what that means. Does triple A mean it's a fantastic game? Or does it mean it's poised to make a lot of money?
I never really thought of the Saints Row franchise as huge, and I am slightly surprised that they'd dare to launch in such a contentious month.
I mean, it's launching the same week as Assassin's Creed: Revelations & Halo: Anniversary. Not forgetting of course that just a week before that we've got Skyrim & Modern Warfare 3.
I am really looking forward to Saints Row 3, and I hope I'm wrong... but I can really see this having some pretty low launch week sales numbers.
I still think its a gta knock off I do like it more then a gta. but I feel like its just not up there withe other triple a titles, but thats just my opinion

A Triple A game means it's a game the developers are putting all of their marketing and time into. People tend to confuse this with "it means it's going to be a good game". Saints Row 1 and 2 were both triple A games, Skyrim is a triple A game, Arkham City was a triple A game, ect.
I don't actually know what a AAA title is but I have always assumed it was games that sell millions of copies. In which case no it is not.
Being that's its published by Volition I am always skeptical of any of their releases. It could be great, could be terribad. Until I play it I have no way of knowing. I don't think it will be that big of a seller either way, although you never know what with GTA not having been out for a while and the teaser trailer just being released. I still kind of doubt it.
If somehow these must be drugged brains of reviewers can give dark souls 9.5 or 5/5, then yes. Saints row the 3rd is EASILY a triple A, or even AAAA title. The first two games made much more sense and were MUCH better put together than that trash heap of a game.
I'm pretty sure that every Saints Row game had enough money and assets plugged into it to be considered a AAA title.
@Creamypies: A AAA title is just a high budget game that can be considered a tent-pole release for a developer. In the list of "main" games released this year that you could rhyme off in your head, those would all be considered AAA games.
ITT people who don't know what "AAA" means and try to use it to legitimately discuss video games while I sigh and shake my head disapprovingly because marketing has won yet again.
GTA 4 was great graphic-wise but ultimately felt boring. I never gave Saints Row 2 a chance because I had the mentally much like my feeling towards Apple Jacks vs Apple-O's. I grabbed SR2 on XBL because I needed something to play and had a blast! Then I thought to myself; it has everything that GTA is missing. The amount of customization wasn't insane but it was varied enough to add much needed boost of individuality to the open world crime genre. If GTA is smart they will be watching this franchise because if Volition pulls it off? They will be a force to contended with. Skyrim and Saints Row are day one purchases for me and all I will be playing till the end of the year.
Dunno it's getting good buzz but a fighting dildo and weird random shit doesn't make it for me, If still a poor game like the previous I'm not getting it.
No, it doesn't have the following of a GTA, Halo, Call of Duty, or Zelda game. It gets better with each release, but it's still not something I can mention to a friend with average video game knowledge and expect them to know it. Great games, but not "AAA" yet.
