Saints Row 4

Shadow Dragon · Mar 22, 2013

I thought they couldn't top the insanity of Saints Row The Third. Welp, I was wrong.

I knew I was going there to see Saint’s Row 4 for the first time, and I had all these images of dildo swords, jet bikes and furries punching the elderly in my mind. “Yeah”, I thought, “I know roughly what to expect here”. I bought another coffee.

It was meant to be a day like any other. Then Volition Inc. blew my tits off.

In Saint’s Row 4 you – the leader of the Saints gang – are now president of America. An invading alien force called the Zin has kidnapped you, and has plugged your brain into an indoctrinating virtual world called The Dominatrix.

Oh, you also have super-powers by the way. Why ride in a car when you can run through traffic using super-speed? Why walk around a skyscraper when you can jump over it in one leap? Why fight with your bare hands when you can use telekinesis to throw them into orbit? Why indeed.

You also have a Dubstep Gun that fires Skrillex riffs at people. It makes them dance like morons, just in real life. Any cars caught in the blast suddenly sprout hydraulics and start bouncing around to the beat. You can pilot a mech. When walking past civilians you can DDT them just for shits and giggles.

Not sure if that's the greatest idea for a game ever, or the worse. Either way, it's going to be insanely fun to play. Here's the video trailer for it: http://youtu.be/7aeZe5RIOwU

From the ashes of THQ rises a purple ~~dildo~~ phoenix. Thanks, Deep Silver.

Prior to every release in this series, trailers and previews and what not come out that just make me go, "They're going to what in the who, now?" I almost wish they would just throw away all pretense of story and just give you that big crazy-shit sandbox and say, "have fun." I mean, that's kind of what they do already, except they also make me roll my eyes (or skip) a bunch of cutscenes on my way to the sex dungeon I'm supposed to murder up.

(Although, I will say the in-car Sublime sing-along scene on the way to one of the missions in Saints Row 3 might be one of my favorite gaming moments of all time. Only time a game has got me to smile and sing while I played.)

One has to admit: they're not doing this one half-assed. It's full-ass. All the time. With extra cheeky. Just cause.

Hm. It at least looks interesting. I played 3 and I really liked that. So. I'm probably going to get 4.

Saint's Row 2 had its crazy moments, but the was grounded by some real drama.
SR3 . . . not so much.
