Ding-Dong: Saints Row: The Third screens are obscene, filthy fun
56
Saint's Row: The Third isn't going to tone down the series' trademark lunacy if Game Informer's screenshot gallery is any indication. Guns and explosions are present, but so is a "sex toy bat" (no word yet on the presence of a vibration setting).
The screens also reveal SRTT's costume and character customization screens, locales, vehicles and characters. Check 'em out over at GameInformer.com.

I don't want to be THAT GUY, but don't you think that screenshot is a little inappropriate for some readers of this site?

I work for a school and there are very few gaming sites that aren't blocked by the district's content filter. Joystiq is one of the few that I can access because they generally avoid putting content like this on the home page.
Maybe next time you guys could put images like this further down in the story so they don't pop up on the main page? Or maybe put it up with a "CENSORED" bar and ask me to click through for the uncensored version.
I'm just afraid that if the tech department sees many more pictures like this, they'll put Joystiq on the blocked list. Then where would I go for my gaming news!?!

A long, black bar that says CENSORED is pretty much telling everyone that a dong is hidden behind it.

Yeah, this is *way* more offensive than all those screen grabs of people getting murdered or maimed. After all, there's a big purple dong up there, that took me like 30 seconds before I realized it was actually a dong and not just weird motion blur.
But, the point stands, vague reference to penis = offensive. Graphic depiction of decaying, reanimated corpses attempting to murder live humans = OK.

Aww man, well played Joystiq, but can we get a "CENSORED" bar or something. I'd rather not gate an eyeful of purple rubber cock while I'm on break at work.

that guy looks more afraid of the fact that the bat is a giant dil... rather than the fact that hes gonna get beat...

So does this mean Barney is an NPC and she just finished beating Barney to death with one of his "appendages" and moving on to this guy?

Is this that big a deal? I mean, there was a dildo weapon in San Andreas...

It didn't have a hilt though. Dildo weapons have evolved.

It would be more appropriate to create one that has a tissue in his hand to wipe his face off.

This franchise is so well done. I remember playing GTAIV and having it feel like it was a chore to finish, with some incredibly maddening parts and glitches, then playing Saints Row 2 much later and thinking this is how all sandbox games need to play. Very fun game, looking forward to the third installment.

how much more can this game rip off Grand Theft Auto? San Andreas already had dildos as weapons. They were even specifically purple. Lame...

No comment could do that picture justice. All I will say is, if this game is as half as fun as SR2, I'm getting it.

I doubt this game will get a flaccid reception when it penetrates the retail market.

Ugh, I believe this game is going to be bad, that's why they required to show this photo and start a stupid controversy.
That's why gaming still is not getting serious.
