Not talking about the quality of the game here; it's just smothered by so many hard-hitters.

Pffft. I'm getting this, Skyrim, and Batman. Screw anything else.

Actually the Saints Row games have all sold really well. They have a unique staying power that games like Assassin's Creed and Batman do not. While the first week of sales might not produce those blockbuster type sales you'd expect from a big name, it will continue to sell steadily for months after it's release. In fact, at the store I work at we're still selling copies of Saints Row daily.

When the preteens get fifty bucks for shoveling driveways this winter do you think they're going go buy a copy of Call of Duty (which they know they're getting for Christmas) or the hyper-violent, low-brow and all around good-time Saints Row?

I don't think they'll be in any trouble.

I agree.

You know, I don't really care for the suit and vehicle, but I'd love that gun in-game.

Worst trailer yet for this game.

...maybe you dont get the premise. I have never played a Saints Row game (never appealed to me), but when i saw a similar trailer at SDCC i was laughing my ass off.

its meat to all look absolutely horrible and stupid. i know that sounds silly, but yeah.

Every other trailer for this game I've seen has made me want it badly. This trailer is not up to the level of the previous ones.

I'm kinda confused by this Professor Genki character. I THINK he's supposed to be a parody of some Japanese show but I don't think I've seen one that's as flashy and insane as this thing. Could anyone give me a few examples outside of parodies that are like that?

The purpose of the game is to be mercilessly idiotic, not cool :/ 
 
Anyway, I might get it or I might not. Not really sure tbh; I'm kind of low on money and a lot of decent-looking games are coming out, so...

My only problem with this game is that some of the most incredible stuff they show is pre-order/dlc only (the manapult and octopus-gun).

I really liked the second one, so I'll probaly get it, but I won't preorder.
