That suplex through the glass table was pretty awesome, I must say.  They should get the people doing the promo material to design the actual game.

This video highlights all the flaws of modern pop culture. God that music is awful, I feel sorry for anyone manipulated into liking it, no offense.

Fucking great trailer. Great set up, great song choice for the action and awesome direction. With this and the debut trailer I think SR3 is building up one of my favorite publicity campaigns in recent years.

Agree with this gentleman. Even King Crimson can't save this poor excuse of a song.

Saints Row knows exactly what they're doing.
 
SR3 is on my most anticipated list with the lofty likes of Skyrim, ME3, and Deus Ex HR.
 
There is certainly a big place in my heart for sandbox stupidity.
 
I have already strapped it on.

I was hoping at the start that the camera would swoop around all the dancers and pan up to the boss leaning over the balcony... in a hot dog suit.

Ok. Some of my favourite artists are The Roots, Jurassic 5 and A Tribe Called Quest. This music (and Gaga) is made by record companies who want to make money off misguided youth who don't have any real exposure to genuine artists. It promotes a drinking night club culture which promises fame and fortune when really they just want you to buy drinks so they can sell sleazy night clubs the rights to this awful music. It's not the rap, it's all pop music 2011!

Ok, I've listened to this song several times, read the lyrics, and I can tell you that this song doesn't promote that in any way. In fact, it's going against it.
 
And don't tell me I'm a "misguided youth who don't have any real exposure to genuine artists"! You obviously don't know what the hell I'm listening to!

2nd best trailer of the year. Nothing can beat the first Saints Row the Third trailer.

You, sir, are the one who is misguided. And you don't know the first thing about Kanye West by the sounds of it. Made by record companies? How ignorant can you be. Kanye has full control over the music he makes, and it's music about himself, not some master plan to brainwash the youth or some BS you're making up on the spot.
 
Stop trying to be so fecking pretentious, and spewing bullshit about stuff you don't like.

@samcotts: Tbf Kayne stopped being genuine about 5 years ago. Granted that song is a lot less shit than the previous two albums; he's definitely a shadow of his former self though.

I understand that the Saints Row games are completely bananas, and that's why I like them. GTA IV may have been a "better game", but for me Saints Row 2 was much more fun to play, especially the co-op. Needless to say I'm pumped for the next installment!
