Yeah. If you make a character that ISN'T an abomination unto the earth, and play through the story, it's played pretty straight. I hope that's continued, actually.
I'm all for wackiness, but I'm a story kinda guy, and I hope the story tries to play it straight...
Though, with a gang of luchador wrestlers, I don't know about that.
Considering the first story mission has you shooting your way out of a jet, I don't think you are in for a story that is played straight. Volition has stated that they have gone to stuff like Shoot Out and Crank for story inspiration. That pretty much says it all.
I think he means played straight like an action movie - which sr2 does pretty well - ie it works as long as you don't think too hard about anything.
But that's what I'm saying. If you didn't think SR2 played it straight enough or you thought SR2 got a bit too crazy and didn't like that then SR3 will be even worse. They have flat out said this shit be crazy as fuck. There won't be a story set in any form of reality in this one.
I think it's fantastic that SR3 is going completely insane but just saying don't expect anything not ridiculous.

There's a certain song that's going to grace a whole lot of Saint's Row videos.
I WANNA
I NEEDA
As much as you love that song, curly, I hiiiiiiighly doubt that'd be the one. At least, I hope not.
All I know is if there isn't a dildo bat music video based around the song 'Detachable Penis' I will be... actually, I won't care too much. But I'd laugh if it actually existed.

Yeah. I mean, the cops ask you to autograph your guns before you drop em when they are trying to arrest you.
Uhh if you didn't like SR2 because they don't play it straight enough then 3 will be even worse.
Well I did like SR2, I just preferred SR1 overall because I felt that it had a better ratio of straight:serious for my tastes. And honestly, that's exactly what I thought about SR3 as well. I read all of the articles and watched the few videos of Volition talking about it, but nothing really 'sold' me on the game. I guess the 'fart in a jar' thing just rubbed me the wrong way because it felt like an indicator of what we could expect: a bunch of fart and dick jokes with very little else. But the actual gameplay video completely erased my concerns. Suplexing average passersby, having access to a VTOL that has a frigging flamethrower on the front, everything looked as though it played much more smoothly than SR2 did.
The thing I loved the most, the most, about SR1 is something I never saw anyone mention: enter the 'milkbones' cheat (stronger attacks, basically 'drunk' strength without drinking) and drink whatever liquor you can get your hands on = ridiculous strength. I'd walk up and literally punt opposing gang members over the bridge, or uppercut them into the sun. That kind of ridiculous shit in a world that was played (mostly) straight is what I enjoyed the most because it made the absurdity stand out that much more. I tried to do the same thing in SR2 but it just didn't have the same appeal to me (plus I played it on the 360, so the modding goodness you folks have been enjoying was inaccessible).
@BigIsy you've already seen some...you just didn't know it.
Okay, I am really, really excited. I knew they were upping their game with it but knowing that someof the crazy shit we've been shown is actually off the PC version is leaving me confident.

I speak Swedish but have nothing to do with these impostors. May one still be invited to the official group (and again, despite being a johnny-come-lately)?
Like, I don't quite get the effulgent joy or SR2. It's a fun, cool game, no doubt. But silliness can only take ME so far. I need some meat on the silly bones.
But that gameplay video. Fucking hell, that looks really fun. The over the top animations are really cool and the weaponry options are staggering. That's really cool.

You guys remember those Gary Busey ads for Just Cause 2? I want those for SR3 with Levar. He taught me to love learning, now he can teach me to love punching people in the nuts with over-sized fists that turn people to puddles!

Oh, Volition, you're just swell. So swell.
Preeeeeety sure Gary did the adds for SR2, not Just cause 2. Also Tera Patrick.

Well, I stand pleasently corrected. This is only more cause for Saints Row 3 to have such a feature presentation! About rainbows! With Levar! And Mr. Toots, who makes use of rainbows.

Wait, is Mr. Toots going to cross over between Red Faction Armageddon and Saints Row 3? Is this something I missed?
I really hope this is the case, because I feel that a tiny unicorn that shits rainbows and murder is the perfect compliment to SR3.
I don't think Toots is currently set to appear, but I would be the happiest if it happened. Even if it was just a mission, something like The Boss being so drugged (again) that he imagines Mr. Toots is his weapon, but it's probably just some badass rocket launcher in reality.

I don't see how Mr. Toots could be left out of SRt3rd with any kind of good conscience.
So, since I've been on a crap computer for the last 3 weeks, I've been watching alot of TV, and found something AMAZING, that I now have to make my character in SR2...
The Stig from Top Gear.
I know it's probably been done, but I DON'T CARE...I need to do this.
And then I will make him again once SR3 comes out.

It will be acceptable if, after perfecting the Stig character, you turn him/it into a grotesque abomination that's barely recognisable

They have it set up so you can't comment or talk with out accepting their invite thus ruining my chance to insult them. So sad.

I'm still pleasantly surprised by how well I can run RF:Guerrilla, but I also know that was ported to PC by different folks than did SR2.
Was RF:Armageddon ported in-house by Volition?
