That's why I'm a little sad to report that, even if you loved SR3 back in the day, this will not impress you.

It was well aware that it's script wasn't Oscar-worthy, and I guess that's why the developers weren't tempted to bore me with overly long cutscenes full of tropes and edgy dialogue. It didn't pretend that it was doing heavy social commentary and didn't bore me with relationship drama only to sacrifice the same NPCs two minutes later for the feelz. It just didn't think it was special because of it. Don't get me wrong, Saints Row 3 has comic relieve characters, needless, over-the-top violence and all the PG13-nudity you desire, just like GTA.

GTA has devolved into a cat that is just smashing stuff and is spending most of the day licking itself. They'll bring you whatever they can get their paws on, they will run around you in circles and bark much too loud and if you don't pay attention you'll get slobbered and dirty, until they are just lying there, panting, grinning at you, daring you to go another round. It's like one of those dogs that wants to play with you no matter what. But more than that Saints Row 3 knew what it wanted to be. It really hit the spot, especially when it came to customization. The original game back in the days was everything I hoped GTA 4 would be. It's like a beautiful old friend going under the knife for a face-lift, and coming out younger looking, but their face is paralyzed and they occasionally pee themselves. I just turned those effects off, but still - shouldn't have to do so. Aim at a bad guy and half the time the focus in on you, so your target is a blur. Also, some of the post processing effects, like DOF and Motion Blur are too strong and make it difficult to AIM at things without your screen turning into a smudgy mess.

There are missing sounds (minigun sounds so so wrong I can't use it), broken windows you suddenly can't jump through, enemies that glitch out or warp into weird shapes, lots of little things that never ever happened on the original cut. They changed the art style in a way that is unsettling and it lost a great deal of character (uncanny).

This version looks pretty at first glance, but it has more glitches than the original, not less. This version looks pretty at first glance, but it has more glitches than the I love the original SR3 and have replayed it several times. I love the original SR3 and have replayed it several times.
