Trailer: The Saints take on a gang of cyberpunks in this latest trailer for the over the top open world Saints Row 3.
In our ongoing quest to discover ever more ways to slice the population of the gaming world into two discrete halves, we have yet another salient observation. It occurs to us that there are two kinds of people in the world. One the one hand, there are those who think that the GTA games are over the top enough in their excesses of action, destruction, and wanton criminality.
And then, there are Saints Row fans, who would rather just spray raw sewage on buildings and crotch-punch every person the street they walk past.
In all honesty, I fall in the former categary, and have not yet met a facet of Saints Row that I've liked. But there's a mess of folks out there who love the game for its complete and utter lack of anything resembling gravitas, verisimilitude or morals. If that's you, we salute you (and, also, would like to avoid you in dark alleys).
