List of reasons why Saints Row 3 disappointed.
My brother and I saw Gat "dying" in the second fucking mission and figured that Loren was just a lying douche and that Gat was going to come back and shit would kick ass. I only saw a few trailers and saw the Manly As Fuck Stag Leader fighting zombies and assumed you played him in the Zombie Uprising sidemission. Alas.
Saints Row 3 was sorely lacking in the main story, the side missions, the feel of the city (93% and I still have to look at the map), the characters, pretty much everything except for the graphics and the steering.
The main story was short as fuck and while it still had some amazing moments (pretty much anytime music plays over the top (I NEED A HERO) it still lacked a cohesive plot and drive. SR2 had you build up and up to defeating a gang, and it felt satisfying. Loren dying to a giant ball dropping on him was anticlimactic at best.
The sidemissions weren't exactly varied. They did change up a few things with Tiger Escort and the S.E.R.C. but they weren't very useful or even that challenging. A few thousand dollars and a sprinkle of respect pales in comparison to spending $50k on any of the decent upgrades.
The city was just a mess. The layout was just city block after city block and lacked any memorable landmarks that actually gave you a sense of place. Driving along the highway to SR2, you always had a view of Ultor Tower, and that gave it a constantly reminder of what happened to your original base.
Pierce was boring and a corporate bitch, Shaundi was constantly pissed, Gat fucking died. Zimos had little explanation given at all, Kinzie was pretty much perfect and Oleg was a bro. You'll notice no one in this thread has mentioned Angel. He got completely shafted and wasn't even relevant except for Murderbrawl XXXI, and even then it was up to you to win the (incredibly easy) fight against him. No one had any development of character at all, everyone stays at the same level throughout the entire game.
tl;dr shit sucks
P.S. Where's Dex.
