Does it hold up?
Controls are too arcadey
>>738496849It never did.
>>738496849It's a massive downgrade from Saints Row 2. Most of the campaign missions are just side missions. I did like 4.
>>738496849Yes
>>738496934>I did like 4.Imagine taking the opinion seriously after that
Playing the PC version of SR2 with mods and patches isn't so bad, is it? I doubt we'll ever get a fixed version.
>>738496849it does if you can fix the vehicle sounds
>>738497131It's a guilty pleasure of mine. I really do like it. I still have it to for PS3....I think.
It's mind blowing how they went from Stilwater, one of the best-designed maps in the genre, to Steelport, one of the worst.
yeah it's underrated >>7384969342 is fun but jank I thought it was just a shit pc port but I played it on ps3 out of interest and it's the same, 3 is way more polished can't speak for the other ones
>>738496849poorly
>>738496849No, it's laughably bad.
>>738497213no, its great. juiced and dxvk does a great job and then top it off with the better audio files.
>>738496849Hell no it's the worst Saints row game that completely fucked the tone of the franchise. 1-2 give you the gangster experience and 4 screws the tone even further but it's at least fun ass super hero game and Johnny isn't dead.
>>738496849It's just boring. Worse activities and the story missions are just playing those activities.
>>738497498Now that I think about it, I always hear people talking about the second and third games, but rarely the first. Is it too much of a GTA clone?
>>7384971314 is basically just Prototype 3, it stands up on its own while 3 is just a generic GTA clone.
>>738496849I played the OG and remaster long ago; 4 is better.
>>738497665I don't think people hate SR1 since it's a decent Gta clone with a good story that does it's own thing. It's just SR2 improves on so many things from the first being an amazing sequel
>>738496849It's the best in the series.
>>738497304you don't like driving on the big circular highway with absolutely no visible landmarks anytime you need to go anywhere?
>>738497762Pretty much this. Not much of a saints row game, despite there being a lot of deep cuts from the series. I did like the home base/mother ship that riffed on the mass effect style of romance by just letting your character be a complete slut >I want rough sex but ashley scares the shit out me... wanna bang? It was incredibly satisfying to just run around the streets sanic fast seeing how much shit you could pick up in your wake. I also really liked the golden snitch as a solution to the wanted level problem (namely that it often turns into a downward spiral with no real way out). But having the various alert levels, an end boss for the highest level, or resetting it by catching the snitch kind of lets you keep the escalation where you want it. I also liked the mini games, insurance fraud with super powers is fun and I managed to lose more than a few rounds by being launched into orbit and out of the scoring zone.
>>738497665It was a GTA clone that did NOTHING better than its contemporaries. You don't hear people talking about it because everyone started at SR2, so when you have the retards like the ones in this thread saying SR3 is the "worst" of the series, keep in mind they're doing that stupid reddit thing where they use perceived hivemind consensus to form an opinion about shit they have no experience with.
>>7384976651 is just massively overshadowed by SR2 which had its own identity beyond being a GTA clone.
>>738497665>but rarely the firstIt was only ever released on the 360
>>738496849The only thing about it that holds up is that it's one of the extremely rare games that lets you make a custom character with massive fucking ginormous head-sized titties, with no mods required, that isn't an H-game or gacha bullshit. Not even "coomer" games like Code Vein let you do that without mods. They even have independent jiggle bones and adjust their bounce level based on what type of bra your character is wearing.SR3 is a shit game, 4 less so, but I could fill up a small pond with how much I've blown to them.
>>738498958I played 1 and 2 well before 3 came out. 3 is the worst.
Is 2 playable on PC?
>>738496878yea. needs more movement innertia for "realism" that takes a compete shit on the responsiveness of gameplay
gat out of hell was fun
>>738498796Each island has a fuck huge landmark you can see from almost anywhere, what are you talking about?
The Kanye soundtrack was cool.
>>738496849Any of these games "hold up" this board calls everything dated from 6th gen that wasn't all that far behind some games today in functionality. Younger anons whine excessively about jank as if the games themselves are unplayable, but this is 7th gen so it's less aged.However it is simply filled with the whole whacky tone in humor and the first two games feel closer to what you'd expect out of a GTA clone that takes itself more seriously. The humor is what either makes or breaks it.
>>738500743I think it has more to do with the gameplay being a huge step down from 2.
>>738496849I played it for the first time recently and it ended up growing on me a lot. I played the PS4 version on the PS5, apparently the PS5 version is literally not functional.It was very gooner friendly with a nice character creator and fashion options.The Genki games are such a cool concept, I don’t think anyone’s hit that kind of vibe better than this game.Biggest missed opportunity for me was no street races, or any utilisation for the cars in general. Steelport’s street design, especially between the boroughs was AWFUL.The storyline was too short and disjointed. Gameplay wise the game just accelerates too quickly, so you can’t really appreciate it before everything gets too silly. Definitely holds up.
>>738496849No melee styles so you are stuck with just one.No fightclub. Professor Genki's game show is a dogshit replacement.Weapons all start off feeling like shit because you have to upgrade their damage.No stronghold missions that lets you unlock more player homes.No feminine-masculine slider so you cannot make a futa anymore.A padded campaign that forces you to do filler as tutorials. I'd rather be forced to grind respect like 2 if it means avoiding activities I hate doing even once like Professor Genki.Uninteresting supporting characters. Kenzie fails to pick up the slack. ZMos, the russian, the actor, all of them are so forgettable even the sequel just kills them all.Game in general is too easy even when you max the difficulty, which is probably why there is no food anymore.It is just a bad, bland game.
>>738501198>No feminine-masculine slider so you cannot make a futa anymore.you absolutely can, you haven't played the game
>>738497131SR 4 is unironically one of the most fun superhero games out there
>>738502656It did not. It had a sex appeal slider for men that let you choose between an average bulge and none, but not for women.
>>738497762>3 >genericIf anything, 1 and 2 were “generic”, 3 was whacky and randumb and made people really get out their downvote gloves v_v
>>738505070Sex appeal was tits for women, anon.
>>738505070??? the tit slider is absolutely a thing, are you fucking retarded? I know for a fact it is because I used to max it out and buy the pink pasties to look like nipples since I was on console and couldn't mod out the mosaic censors. why do so many terminally outraged fags just make shit up to get mad about?
>>738505250Not for women as in it did not give them a crotch bulge.>>738505397I am glad that you liked the mediocre piece of shit that is The Turd. Try actually reading next time.
>>738506035Did you want a clit slider? I don’t get what the issue is. Also I don’t get how people hate 3 for being un-Saints Row like, and for ruining the series when 4 supersedes the shark, and becomes it, and thus an entirely different game all around.
>>738506035>crotch bulge for womenkys tranny lover
>>738505397>why do so many terminally outraged fags just make shit up to get mad about?Because the only time they got attention as children was when their mom's boyfriend beat their ass for being an obnoxious fag and their sad underdeveloped brown brains associate that with affection and normal social interactions.
>>738506197>Did you want a clit slider>I don't get what the issue isYou could make a dude with titties in 2, and you cannot in 3 and 4. Try actually reading next time. It is also not even the biggest problem of the 3 and 4, if you're going to bring up that the reboot let you.>for being un-Saints Row like3 is a shit open world game even ignoring if it is like Saints Row or not. Less variety in activities. terrible combat with weapons that feel like shit. Etc.>44 is a fucking mediocre game. The best compliment one could give to it is that it's Crackdown but less dogshit and more structured.
Is the remaster worth it or should I just get the original?>the all-in-one (((bundle))) has the latest flop in itnice try
>>738506646It’s not better Crackdown, it’s shittier Prototype. Crackdown has more in common with Saints Row than 4 does, given you can’t fucking fly around and walk run in Crackdown.>tits on my guysNo one fucking cares, except the epic funny tard that thinks making abominations is funny, in which case reboot is up your alley.
>>738506930>shittier PrototypePrototype is fucking dogshit and as much as I hate 4, I still put it above Prototype.
>>738507083You’re fucked in the head, for someone that talks about better combat systems, SR4’s combat is the worst part of the game.>same gun issues as 3rd, but tanker and more mobile bullet sponges>you HAVE to use the gave VR powers, IE freeze/fire combos>flying and landing always causes a tumble->roll animation>driving is redundant, if not completely useless even with starting jump/glide heightIn prototype, you can honestly to god combo into juggle, into grapples, you can dive kick towards aerial enemies, throw cars for more damage. It was quite literally built on the Hulk Ultimate Destruction engine, so you calling it shit is a self report on being bad and having nigger ass taste.
>>738496849this is another one of those games that's a perfect case study for how the most popular entry in a franchise can also kill a franchise in the process
>>738496849About as well as it did on release. It's... fine, but generally weaker than 2.
>>738507221>bullet spongesbut I can actually aim instead of using the shitty lock-on of Prototype, like Crackdown.>you HAVE to use the gave VR powers, IE freeze/fire combosYeah. I spammed them as much as possible to make combat end as fast as possible.>In prototype, you can honestly to god combo into juggle, into grapples, you can dive kick towards aerial enemiesPointless shit. Literally. There is no fun against doing all that against health regen fodder like the soldiers and lesser infected unless you like Devil May Cry.>throw cars for more damageI can chuck shit around in 4 as well. Moot point.The only way Prototype adds difficulty in world or missions is sprinkling equally easy but tedious enemies like the hunters, supersoldiers, or the big aborted fetus looking enemies. While 4 just spams more ineffective enemies at you like Crackdown, and I'll take Crackdown anyday of the week over Prototype.I replayed Prototype recently and it was one of the most boring fucking things I have ever played with missions that range from pathetically easy to plain tedium.
>>738507627>complains about Prototype being tedious>admits he didn’t engage with mechanics fully enough to make annoying enemies easier>admits there’s no fun in just beating on easy enemies>admits most of SR4 is “tediously”, beating on dumb enemies, but you do so with free aim, so that makes it challenging and therefore funLMAO
>>738507718>annoying enemies easierI already said they were easy. They are not fun regardless.>admits most of SR4 is “tediously”, beating on dumb enemiesYes>but you do so with free aimAlready makes it better than Prototype> so that makes it challengingNo.> and therefore funIt tickles the brain like holding S+M1 in Serious Sam, something mashing whip claw or the sword, or using the dogshit autoaim with the LMG in Prototype will never do.Prototype is a dogshit franchise. 2 did not kill it because they made the story about a black dad that returned with milk. Prototype died because it was always fucking shit and the only reason it survived in the public mind was because of retarded ps3 exclusive vs multiplat it had against Infamous.
>>738507986You can play Prototype with m+kb, I don’t see how “free aim” matters when guns aren’t the focus in Prototype outside of rpgs. Because the focus is on powers, unlike in 4 where powers were an afterthought to help justify reused assets.>Serious HoldSam fan>complaint about combat or tedium>everIt’s like hearing a scat lover’s idea of bad taste. Prototype died because of 2, story changes and coorporate acquisition, Infamous was killed by Sons and didn’t get much fanfare either.2s protagonist wasn’t the issue, it was the handling of Mercer that pissed off fans, get it right.It’s like saying people only hated SR3’s story because it was whacky, no, it’s because they killed Gatt in the first few missions.
sure is samefag in here
>>738508792>back and forth conversations is samefaggingPls be a bot and or retard that posts once and leaves threads.
>>738496934>I did like 4.So you do like 3
>>738508221>when guns aren’t the focus in Prototype outside of rpgsNeither was good melee combat because melee is shit in Prototype. Enemies are fodder like DMC, or fodder with trash hit reactions like DMC2. I'd rather have the game with functional shooting in that case, same reason Infamous is a better game than Prototype despite being a mediocre turd stuck on the PS3.>Serious HoldSam fan>complaint about combat or tediumMusou with guns trump musous with hulk hands and swords because you have to at least look at the screen to hit something. If you disagree, you are a pinko and or European.>coorporate acquisitionActivision owned Radical Entertainment a year before Prototype was even released.A shit plot (with character assassination) never hurt sales.TLOU2 flopped because there is no shortage of movie games.Ubislops are flopping for the same reason.Prototype 2 flopped because it was a shit game just like the first
>>738496849If you like the humor, yeah. Gameplay is meh. Saints Row 4 on the other hand has issues. Multiplayer broke when they forced EGS integration for cross play and they never fixed it.
>>738509670>multiplayerwho the fuck played Whored mode.
>>738496849I actually recently replayed 2 and went straight into 3 on my modded 360 and I dropped the game about half way in because I just wasn't having any fun. less customization options, worse missions generally (there's some good ones but not enough to offset the bad) and I really do hate that british boss from 2 never reprised the role, he really just sounds the best out of all the voices.
>>738509724you retarded? the entire campaign could be played in coop. Is not just 1 mode.
>>738496849It was shit from second oneSaints Row 2 was the lightning in a bottle. It was a perfect combination of goofy hijinks and a few fairly heavy story beats amongst fairly standard GTA plotline fare.The Samedi bit is kind of weak, but the dude with the bit where you get revenge for carlos by putting his wife in a trunk at his own monster truck wreck-a-thon makes up for it.
