Saints Row IV

Raunchy, awesome fun with really cool voice acting ! I personally love the fact that they hired Nolan North, (drake, deadpool, any good video game and he is in it), as a voice actor. They also hired Keith David(Anderson from mass effect) to play himself in the game! The best Saints Row game by far! It may even be my favorite role playing game of all time! The combat was smooth, but could have used a cover system. The "romance scenes" are hilarious, and the if you haven't tried the rectifier, you probably should. The weapons have been overhauled! There is a new upgrade system, and they added weapon camos! Overall I give the game a 10 out of ten for it comedy and action/ role-playing greatness.

Dumb fun. If you're looking for a dumb fun game, this is your game. Cause that's what this game is: dumb fun.

Dumb fun/10.

You want full control? You got it. You want hilarious dialogue by fantastic voice actors, epic Tron and Streets of Rage and Mass Effect nods, really super fun gameplay that even makes the game's collect-a-thon part fun? This is the game. A really, really special game.

But that annoying, unrealiable, absolutely horrible saving system screwed me over 4 times just today. Over and over having to replay the same missions and losing my progress because evidently that SAVING message means nothing, and I have to do it manually to be sure... Really almost made me delete the entire game.

But that's a small issue there. I first played it on Xbox with Xbox Pass where it was fine, I'm only having those issues now that I bought it on PC. I saw on Wikipedia that they're working on a next one and I'm excited.

I'd love to see the same people who wrote this, the same people who designed and programmed it, and the same voice actors, especially my girl Female Voice 3 and my dude Keith David return.

But I can't possibly shout out just two voice actors, because looking at the credits now, this game features some of the biggest stars, and generally peak voice acting talent. Dee Bradley Baker (American Dad and all kinds of cool stuff), Nolan North (every Triple A game), Amanda Winn Lee (from Oni, first game that made me fall in love with this art form), and the rest everyone knows - Troy Baker, that chick from Blood Rayne, etc etc.

Also, can't gloss over the great original, and licensed music. Some amazing classics in there, I can't believe they even managed to get them. Some of that EDM / trap / dubstep on the radios is pretty great too, especially on Four 20. Good stuff all around.

The ridiculous fun of the series comes to a crescendo in this superhero romp. The game makes good use of the map from the previous game, with enough changes to keep it from seeming stale. Adding super powers speeds up the game-play and helps avoid the dull commutes that mar many sandbox titles. Again the story and characters are funny, which is rare in most games. I would recommend playing Saints Row 3 before you tackle this one as they're deeply linked but be sure to add this one to your wish-list.

Dunno what the other reviewer was talking about but this game has the whole GTA feel (unashamedly) with a mix of Prototype, Venom, and Infamous (also unashamedly) thrown in for good measure. Nothing is sacred and everything is up for ridicule - and ridiculous - with this timeless gem. Amd that's the beaitty of it. I've played it numerous times to completion and it never gets old. There's a reason they remade it for the PS4 and made the DLC so extensive - gamer demand. Easily one of the funniest and well-acted games I've played as well. Boasting a cast with the likes of Daniel Dae Kim, Keith David, Terry Crews and, of all people, Roddy Piper, what's not to like? Pick it up used from Game Stop for 10 bucks and enjoy.
