Quake3World

I rather enjoyed them. I think SA was the sweet spot for them.

So, serious question about Saints Row, keeping in mind that it appears to get rated very favourably compared to GTA by some people here. I started SR2 a short while ago, and found that I had to have enough rep to start a story mission.

So I did a few missions, and it went something like: do a mission, go towards next mission, oh shit I don't have enough rep, go do some side games, return to mission and complete it, go towards next mission, oh fuck I need more rep again?!?, go do some more side games .. etc.

To me, this seems needlessly tedious and seriously puts me off the game altogether. I want to do side games optionally, at my discretion, not be forced to do a handful between each story mission. I'd like to be able to play the story continuously without distractions.

Is it not possible to avoid being forced into side games? And how is everyone OK with being forced to do this between missions? I don't get it.

It's not possible to skip, but you don't have to do them all.
I like it because it makes you sample the different things the game has to offer. The side activities also each have their own story arc so you're not doing just things randomly.
The third thing I like about it is that it gives you a sense of time. This way there are a few days between main story events, rather than having the entire story play out in a week's time.
That's what always felt awkward in Gta. Complete a mission, spawn outside the mission giver's place, walk in again 3 seconds later and the guy goes "oh hey finally thereyou are listen blabla".

Boo! I don't like it. Is SR3 like this as well?

Not sure, don't think so.
Sr3 story doesn't make sense tho, not in the slightest.

Don't mind about the story. I'd rather play a game that doesn't force you earn a wage and then spend it to play the fun bits. Thanks.

Holy crap, SR3 is incredible.

Yeah? I might give it a whirl...

It even has coop

yoink, gameplay with commentaries.
I like the tilted minimap.

Holy shit, that looks fun as fuck...

Looks awesome indeed. Never really invested myself in a GTA game after Vice City, but this does look very tempting.

Well I'm sold. Just tell me where to stuff my money

I'm quite sure I'll waste several hours in this game.

well shit, i must say that looks amazing

Any word on this being a next gen console game?

yes: no.

fs. Was checking this out for a pre-order and just remembered there is no pc release date.

If they don't release this on PC at the same time they can go fuck themself, and I'm warezing shit when they do.
Is there really that much more money in sucking console dick over pleasing PC gamers?

and the vicious circle continues...

you fucking wanna do somethin about it

Nah forget about it.
Yoo´re a puddle of mush, just like I am.
I don´t really give a shit about games anymore.
Am i dead in side or just growing up.
The plant ppl will decide

In addition, Zelnick has also stated that regardless of when the next-generation consoles are going to be released, he believes that the absence of Grand Theft Auto V from the next-generation consoles wont have any real impact on the sales of Grand Theft Auto V

Famous last words.

I don't know. If the game is half as good as it looks, I can see people playing this well into the lifetime of the next gen consoles...

There will be GTA alternatives on next gen consoles, and lots of people don't have the room or inclination to have multiple consoles hooked up to a TV. I can see them changing their minds and porting it for the new consoles around the same time they make a PC version.
