Expect Satchel-Charged Craziness From Saints Row: The Third

This is beyond funny now. Still giggled.

Edit: Also I got that one quest that people always try to get.

Yes, you did.

Cannot wait for SR3, it looks like it'll too much fun.

Here's to also hoping GTA can recapture some of this sort of spirit.

um, yeah, I don't think so.

That just happened.

In a fit of giggles now and I'm not afraid to admit it.

I want to play this game now, please.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

Honest to god, I love that music clip.

Kind of wish i could download it for my phone.

Damn I had Eight satchels strapped before I read the disclaimer.

Ah well, he'll live.

Look at that god damn throwing animation, everything about this game is quality.

i love that throwing animation so much  
 
i just hope you can set charges on the train tracks and watch the train cars fly everywhere like in SR2

It's like someone invaded my mind and made the game my subconscious always wanted

Now, if they tell me not to recreate it, it just makes me want to recreate it more.

This game is so fucking silly.
 
I love it.

Cannot WAIT for this to come out.

This game will be so much fun if there isn`t to steep a penalty for death. After watching all these crazy videos I want to attempt them in game, but if I loose a ton of money or all my weapons every time I die, I can see that being really annoying. But this game looks like it will be alot of fun regardless!

I am looking forward to this. looks well built

That just happened all over our faces.

GTA V is going to need to step it up a notch.

So good. I think it's made all the better by that hand gesture at the end.

In Saints Row, you keep everything.

STRAP IT ON.

So... it's suicide bombing? InB4 media outrage clusterfuck.

@dvorak: Sweet, I've never actually played a Saints Row game before, but if that's the case I will definitely pick this up.

There better be a button to slap the sticky bomb onto your own body, or else what the fuck

I love so much that they can put this out as a trailer. I feel like just firebombing my double pack and waiting in eager anticipation for this.

I'm not sure if I'll even like this game, but they've marketed it so well... I just really want to try it. It looks so doofy and stupid and like it's going to plug in to and tickle every one of my pleasure senses that I have available to a video game.

Put on a fake dick

I expect the Quick Look of this game to be a thing of legends. Anything else is unacceptable.

@Sweep: Just wait until the media finds out that you can have suicide bombings while strapping on fake dick.

You mean GTA 55? Or GTA V-Five or whatever they're calling it? Anyway, not going to be a problem. Seriously, like GTA could be bad? Maybe when the Housers die and EA takes over Take Two. Not today though.

I just love it that these SR trailers are so insane, I can't think of the last time I wanted to watch every commercial I could find for any product, these are entertainment on their own.

If you told me a few years ago that I would cancel a pre-order for an Elder Scrolls game because a game from From Software and a Saints Row sequel were too close together...whooda thunkit?

STRAP IT O...... wait nevermind.

Love it.

...strap it on.

Why is this video using some Youtube thing even if I am a premium member and the framerate sucks and the video quality in general sucks? I partially enjoy quick looks because it's actual useable streaming video quality.

This game is proof that games are art.

Considering all the games that will be released on Nov. 15th, it still strikes me as odd that this Saints Row game may actually be the best one. Kinda amazing - THQ might have a big hit (critically).

@InertiaXr:

You can change what the player is in the top left portion of the video.

Can't wait for co-op craziness!

They could do 1000 of these trailers and I'm sure I'd love every one of them.

...cause why not!

I'm still totally into Saints Row: The Third, but my general interest in these videos and constant "up-to-11" attitude is starting to wear thin. If there was one of these on occasion, it would make more sense, but I feel like we've been flooded with these and it's kind of killed the magic.

That was so dumb...

...ok where do I put my money?

Hey dude, it's a trailer. It's a lot nicer to just embed the trailer itself than host it locally on Giant Bomb, also prolly not a 60fps version of the trailer available either. The frame rate is 30fps, standard on ALL internet videos up to and including the ones on Giantbomb before recently and even still for 'most' people (none-members). Get your thumb out of your butt and stop comparing a trailer with Giantbomb's original content etc.

@david3cm: SR2 had a very light penalty for death. If you were in a mission you could restart from a checkpoint with all of your stuff. In freeroam you kept all of your weapons and only lost a little money. If you go down during co-op play you have 30 seconds to be revived by your partner. It looks like all of this will be the same for SR3.

I like to imagine that there is some Jobsian character over at Volition who walks up to programmers, looks at what they do, then berate them for not making this game dumber.

"Look, you can spray shit on people!"

"that's not dumb enough, make it dumber!"

Too bad I never got to play Saints Row 1, nor Saints Row 2. Though I'd guess that plot isn't the main focus here, but chaos and mayhem instead...but I'm still not really interested. Which is kinda odd, since I liked causing destruction in the earlier GTA games. Guess I'm too old...ooor, it's the fact that I already wasted money on those dozen other interesting games and have planned to waste on a few more as well! Goddamned 2011, you make my wallet cry.

Never played a SR game before, always thought is was just a cheap GTA rip-off. But have to admit the more I see of this one the more and more it appeals to me. Interested to see what reviews it gets.
