Saints Row

On Just Driving Around the City

by
Driving around in Steelport

In real life, I’m not really a fan of driving. I find it tedious and only drive because I have to. While it is nice to drive and listen to music, the cost of petrol is a large deterrent, and I don’t really like driving around for no reason. Now, in a video game? That’s not a problem. There’s no petrol to worry about, and I can listen to whatever I like. The game I normally do this in is Saints Row the Third. After I completed the main game, I spent a lot of time just driving around the… [Continue Reading]

Is Saints Row: The Third a Good Game?

by
My Boss at the main crib in Saints Row 3

When you compare Saints Rows 2 and 3, the differences are quite big. Although Saints Row 3 is a prettier game, it’s lacking a lot of features that Saints Row 2 had. There are missing minigames, the story isn’t as long and there’s only really one singular story path with only a handful of decisions that matter. Saints Row 2 lets you pick which gang you want to take out first, while Saints Row 3 has a specific order to start in forcing you to take out Morningstar first, Deckers second and Luchadors last. There’s also a distinct tone shift… [Continue Reading]

Finding My Old 94% Saints Row 3 Save

by
My Boss at the main crib in Saints Row 3

Lately, I’ve wanted to play something new but familiar. And preferably with low graphics so I can play with a decent framerate. I browsed through my game library and noticed that I hadn’t played any of the Saints Row games in a while. The last time I tried anything like that, I found myself playing Agents of Mayhem, and I very much ended up giving up on it. The game just wasn’t enjoyable to me, and wasn’t really Saints-Row-y enough. I’ve had similar problems with the Saints Row games, but something drew me into reinstalling Saints Row 2 and 3.… [Continue Reading]

So Much For That – Definitely A Saints Row Game

by
The city of Seoul

I owe you all a little apology. I was going to make a whole playthrough of the game Agents of Mayhem. The plan was to play through and point out all the silly Saints Row references. And actually play something different for once. But I can’t. I’ve played about 2 hours worth of this game, and it’s just… not fun. I’m not enjoying myself. But why? The gunplay and movement feel off The first thing I noticed was that both walking and sprinting felt pretty slow, and that shotguns only work at point blank range. Even though I was on… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Definitely Not A Saints Row Game – Part 1

Starting a mission so we can start another mission to unlock a new character

So we’re back here in Agents of Mayhem. You know, Definitely Not a Saints Row game. Despite all the purple. Anyway, with the tutorial out of the way, I’ve got a new mission to do and it involves unlocking a new character. Before I do that though, I have to go and see Gremlin, and there’s a Legion base I need to destroy. Let’s start with the Legion base. There are various Legion bases all over the map and I want to take them over and make them my own. Or, rather, make them into MAYHEM bases. This base in… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Definitely Not A Saints Row Game – Part 0

Agents of Mayhem splash screen

Does anyone here remember Agents of Mayhem? No? I don’t blame you. Agents of Mayhem is a game made by the same people who made Saints Rows 3 to 4. But it isn’t a Saints Row game. It’s definitely not one. Agents of Mayhem is a whole solo adventure set in another city, not at all related to the Saints Row series. Except, well, it really looks like a Saints Row game, what with all the familiar purple symbols everywhere. Anyway, it’d be wrong to judge a game by its cover, so I’ve decided to play Agents of Mayhem, just… [Continue Reading]

What the Hell is Going On With the Saints Row Reboot?

by
The beautiful city of Santo Ileso, from the Saints Row website

I like the Saints Row series. It’s fun, chaotic and much like a giant sandbox. But the Saints Row series really went off the deep end in Saints Row 4, literally destroying the whole damn planet. Somehow, Gat Out of Hell managed to follow that game, but frankly, we’re at a dead end for the series. With the planet and most of the supporting cast gone, there’s only one last avenue we can travel down. Saints Row is getting a reboot, with a brand new game, a reboot showing the start of the Saints. However, when we finally saw the… [Continue Reading]

Saints Row 2 is coming to PC…properly this time!

by

Saints Row 2 is among my favorite games of all time. It was the first one where the devs stopped trying to make gritty GTA clones and instead created a gangster sandbox that didn’t take itself seriously. Yet it was also before they veered off the deep end into wacky zany nonsensical insanity, which leaves Saints Row 2 as the perfect middle child of both worlds. Its one major problem is that the PC port is downright terrible, making it a chore to even see the great game underneath the choppy framerate, unplayable vehicle sections and constant crashes. But all… [Continue Reading]

A Couple of Thoughts About a New Saints Row Game

by
Saints Row 4

THQ Nordic the other day announced a bunch of rather cool things, like Timesplitters coming back with someone from the original development team, the people behind Homefront: The Revolution now working on the Dead Island series and stuff like that. But in my eyes, the coolest thing was that Volition confirmed that they are making a new Saints Row game. We have literally no information on this apart from the fact that a game is being made, but that’s fine because now I can make a bunch of wild speculations and ramble on about what I want in a new… [Continue Reading]

Get The Tornado – The Best Helicopter in Saints Row 3 and 4

by
Get the Tornado

The best helicopter is the Tornado. By a mile. In both Saints Row 3 and Saints Row 4. It has a minigun and an infinite number of homing missiles that you can rain down on your victims with ease. The minigun heats up over time, but the homing missiles are infinite. In comparison to the other combat helicopter, the Vulture, its barrage of homing missiles are more accurate and easier to make use of compared to the Vulture’s weaker minigun and charge-to-fire streak of missiles. It also seems tougher and more agile than the Vulture, and seems all-round more durable… [Continue Reading]
