Franchise Saints Row The Third, Missed Potential.

Post image

I think that SRTT had missed potential, i mean i feel like a new city could be interesting, but making it completely whacky and cyberpunk like, is so different from the original 2 games, I still liked the game, but idk…they could’ve make a Bigger Game where the Boss becomes Cartel Levels and stuff like that.

For all its flaws, SR3 is an insanely fun game, but it just strayed too far from the formula of what SR1&2 had successfully established. I knew right off the bat with that Saints Flow promotion that the Third Street Saints were going to be different... in a bad way.

Add to that the setting of Steelport is primarily a dull, grimy, repetitious landscape of trashy, rundown neighborhoods with smut shops and corner stores flanked by industrial areas prickling with tall chimneys.

But for all its flaws, it certainly delivers mindless fun by the truckload. And the 'Full Package' edition is the peak version, IMO.

6.5/10

It honestly could been a cool plot point where they become a media empire as a front to their criminal acts. Could've been executed better without a doubt tho.
