Saints Row®: The Third™ Remastered

My friend and I consider this the "Vegetables" of video games. Something we force ourselves to play before we can enjoy our "Dessert" and play something more fun. Not good Vegetables either. No potatoes here, just poorly cooked sprouts, Undercooked Broccoli and out of date Cabbage. 2/10 "It was fun when I didn't have standards"

SR3 but with shinier graphics. if you liked SR3, you'll like this. like GTA but high. and unapologetically so. just a fun game

Im gonna be so real with you, wait for it to go on sale. I love SR3, and this remaster is great! i'll take this over that DLS5 slop anytime, though how on earth do you make some characters totally different looking? not that they're bad but characters like Pierce and Cyrus did not need changed all that much, especially Shaundi, something doesnt look too right. also the fact that some vehicles are completely different too, not as big as an issue but its a little jarring. The customisation in this game is surprisingly poor, which is insane to me. I understand some clothing options getting removed cause of branding and bla bla, the Payday 2 Dallas mask is cool (was NEVER told about that so that was a jumpscare seeing him) but the actual character customisation body wise is shocking, 90% of the head sliders do NOTHING which sucks, I do appreciate that the build slider matters more, like if you make them fat it affects the face too, but I liked that in the original you could have a bigger character with a slimmer face, or if you wanted that realism, adjust the chin, cheek and jaw sliders (WHICH DO NOTHING IN THIS REMASTER BASICALLY), it just feels poor for a remaster that the original…

This is the game where Saints Row followed in the steps of Fast and Furious and I love it. Nowhere else can I fight enemies with farts in jars and phallic shaped bats.

Looking back at it, its crazy this was one of the first video games i started playing when i was a kid lmfao 10/10 nostalgia

Saints Row: The Third was the first game I ever bought on Steam, and so it holds a special place in my heart. I love that they stepped away from being a sub-par GTA-like and tried to do its own thing; while I rarely feel the urge to revisit GTA games, I definitely do when it comes to the Saints Row franchise. Replaying SR3 almost a decade and a half later, I think it still holds up, especially since it regularly goes on sale for <$5. The sandbox is still a ton of fun. Even after completing everything there is to do in the game, I was still craving more. The remastered graphics are also an actual, worthwhile improvement in most aspects, and I especially appreciated what felt like an increase in traffic, crowd density, and draw distance; gone are the days of driving at full speed before suddenly crashing into a vehicle that spawned right in front of you. The character customisation is also one of the best for a game like this. I just wish that some minor issues with the original were addressed alongside the graphical improvement, such as customisation of aerial vehicles, perhaps more hair options ported from SR4, rearranging of vehicle thefts (some vehicles are affected by the story…
