It's so juvenile, but I can't help but be amused about how over-the-top Saints Row is.

@Truant

Yeah. All of the fun that was surgically removed from GTA IV was implanted into SR2. It looks like the new Saint's Row games are going to continue being over-the-top and insane!

SR was such a great series, now it seems that Jerry Springer is on tthe development team with all the idiotic things they've been doing.

They went from silly and slightly realistic to over the top absurdity with a dash of low class to cater to the lowest common denominator.

There's never been anything realistic or serious about a Saint's Row game. In SR2, I was a massive sumo wrestler in a thong and high heels. That made for the funniest cut-scenes I've ever seen.

@SisypheanLife Play the game again, there was nothing anywhere near the level of absurdity as going through the small ass window of an airliner unscathed then fly all the way through untouched and still have enough time to catch a person that should have either hit the ground or close enough that you ain't catching her.

The most absurd thing I could remember from the past games was flying up a helicopter to the CEO's office, not to mention the games weren't whoring themselves out for attention like this one seems too.

You mean it went from "awesome and totally unrealistic" to "really friggin' awesome with totally off-the-walls bonkers insanity in place of any hint of realism."

@SisypheanLife This should have been Saints Row 3, not XXX^10 with low class to the extreme.

So fighting off a rival gang while completely baked, being tossed about by a Jamaican with a voodoo doll, stealing nuclear waste to use as tattoo ink on a rival gang leader, spewing human waste all over pedestrians and buildings, and prat falling into traffic on a high way and flying as if you were on the moon is realistic?

Holy crap my life sucks!

Wow, what a point. I could try to counter this myself but I can't. If your reply were a painting in tribute to SR2, it would be spectacular.

@The angry pro consumer gaming ga...The only point proven is that you sound like a gaming snob right now. I think your just butthurt because it's not launching on PSN as well.

If that's the official title, they need a lesson in how not to get your game censored by Safe Search.

Peter Molyneux couldn't have been involved. His games are NOT on rails.
