Hey everybody! I know it's been an extremely long time since I've posted anything but I am back and here to keep blogging so lets get started in this new year of 2012.
Saints Row 3 came out a little while ago and I know it might be considered "old news" to some but I really wanted to talk about this awesome game that I played. I'll be honest, when Saints Row one came out I wasn't a fan when playing the demo, I was a Grand Theft Auto (GTA) fan all of it's life so having a game coming to compete with it wasn't taken lightly. But, I looked into Saints Row 3 quiet a bit when it came out and decided to give it a try.
In Saints Row 3 you play as a "boss" type figure of a media empire that came from a street gang that you were apart of in SR2 and SR1. Now, I don't know a lot of the previous story because I never really took interest in the previous games, but from playing this game you learn some of it so you'll be in the loop of events. In the start you quickly meet with the "Syndicate" which is a group of international gangs who want your gang/media empire to join, but at a cost of over 50% of your profits. Of course, you and your crew say heck no and escape from the Syndicate as they took capture of you. This whole situation causes a war between the Syndicate and you.
Enough about the story. All I got to say about this game is that the story is amazing, I have never laughed so hard at a game in my life. The outrageous comedy, story, events, items, etc makes this game just a ton of fun to play if you are someone who can take a joke and has that type of humor. Everyone will compare the Saints Row serious to the GTA series because they have a similar concept of games style which I won't debate, but the difference in the series is that Saints Row really went for an obnoxious type of game, while GTA went for a more serious and less crazy of a game which is fine because I like both. Both of them have their pros and cons and I enjoy both.
Saints Row 3 is really an awesome game to play. Your decisions that you make throughout the game when you are given the choices really impact the world. For example, you have a choice to either take over a sky scrapper from another gang of the Syndicate or blow it up. Both choices have positive effects, but if you take it over you own it, but if you blow it up when flying or walking around the city you will see it smoking and slightly destroyed. I love when decisions that you make actually impact the game in someway, if it doesn't it just feels dull and boring.
All in all this is a great game and I am looking forward for the next installment of this series as it just spiked my interest a lot. This game is great, the combat is intense and fun, there is huge amount of customization for abilities, skills, cars, weapons/upgrades. There is everything you could imagine from cars, tanks, planes, boats, speedster bikes (like in Star Wars) laser guns, etc. I can't even name everything in this game there is just too much to mention but I HUGELY recommend this game to try out, it's worth it.
See you all soon,
