Journey of a Gamer

stochastic-gamer:

I’ve been meaning to write something about Saints Row: The Third that I got on my 22nd birthday last week. I am going to try my best to describe to you, the reader, the greatness of this game.

First, you should know that had I played this game in 2011 it would have usurped Deus Ex: Human Revolution as my #2 Game of the Year. (You should know that my #1 was Portal 2 and that Skyrim didn’t make it into the top 5.)

Second, the game is totally awesome and to mention ANYTHING which happens in the game is to spoil it.

Third, you should play Saints Row: The Third. If you’ve only played a little bit of it, you should play more of it.

Fourth, and finally, if you ask me “Popov, I want a game where I can phone my gang and have a ninja deliver a VTOL to me; then I’ll fly really high up, parachute down, fire an endless stream of bullets into a tank, throw a jar of farts into a crowd, dropkick into a short school bus, enter a TRON-like world where I first run around as a toiler and then as a sex doll, come back to the normal world, change sexes and put on a panda or a dominatrix costume, and then call an airstrike to extinguish a gang across the street.”

I will say, “You should play Saints Row: The Third.”

P.S. If you need more proof check out Giant Bomb’s thing.

It’s definitely something suprisingly special and a great pc port too.
