Yuck! As a cinematic experience it&#8217;s pretty good. (Although in terms of canon it&#8217;s a bit weird. Why is Shaundi suddenly competent?) But&#8230; that&#8217;s all. Yes, there&#8217;s a &#8220;big open world&#8221;, but in the plot so far, there&#8217;s a tiny bit of shooting, and a lot of &#8220;shooter on rails&#8221; action. And the second you hit someone with a melee attack&#8211; quick time events! Oh, and QTE&#8217;s all through the plot.<\/p>\n<p>I guess it annoyed them that Yahtzee liked Saints Row 2. Apparently it annoyed them so much that they had to add exactly the things that we all hate. Lame.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like a refund, please.<\/p>\n<h4>Edit<\/h4>\n<p>OK I admit it, I don&#8217;t really want a refund. The game seems to be mostly OK. It&#8217;s lost a lot of its groove though. If you&#8217;re thinking about buying it, wait until this time next year when they come out with a bundle that has all of the DLC included.<\/p>\n<p>And I feel sorry for the people who actually worked on the game, because it looks great and controls very well on PC. But just cruising around looking for trouble&#8211;well&#8211;to be honest there really isn&#8217;t much to do. I guess they didn&#8217;t want activity icons cluttering the world, but picking out challenges from your cell phone isn&#8217;t as cool as stumbling across them by accident in the world.\u00c2\u00a0 I think they&#8217;ve fallen victim to their own success. :(<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What more is there to say?
