At a glance: Saints Row IV

At the time of writing this I have currently spent 9 hours of my life playing Saints Row IV. Nine. I have an 18% completion rating because I'm not even doing missions right now. That's the beauty of saints row: there is so much to do that you forget about what you're meant to be doing and instead start running around faster than cars and beating people with a tentacle bat until you suddenly realise you've been playing the game for two hours straight and all you're doing is firing a dubstep gun at people while dressed as uncle sam.

None of that was hyperbole. None.

Saints row is what would have happened to the GTA franchise if it hadn't started taking itself so seriously after San Andreas. It's a game that knows people just want to have fun, they want to be able to do whatever and have whatever happen, but in a way that doesn't make them feel cheated. Saints row IV offers that. It lets you customise your character at any point in the game, kill ridiculous enemies with even more ridiculous guns, dress your character like han solo, or a creeper from Minecraft. It doesn't rush you through the game. You play at your pace and do what you want, how you want. However much fun this game is though, it's far from perfect. 

Everyone knows this is gaming perfection

It doesn't matter how much fun I have playing this game I still can't get one thing out of my mind: God damn I love Saints row the third. This game started as an expansion for Saints row the third and that is very, very noticeable. Seriously, it's the exact same graphics in the exact same city and it all just feels the same. If you made me play a section of this game, and that part of Saints Row the third when you drink saints flow then I can guarantee...that I'd be able to tell the difference, because Saints row IV has a slightly different, and noticeable, aesthetic to it. But still, they're really similar! I mean like the Olsen twins similar!

She has a twin sister?

Does that mean the game isn't worth buying? Not at all. If you didn't like Saints row the third then yeah, don't buy this; you'll hate it. But, if you did like SR3 then get this because although it is more of the same, you've got to remember that on the other hand it's MORE OF THE SAME! the storyline is insane and hilarious, and they've added enough content for dozens of hours of playtime, so even if it doesn't deserve the title of Saints row IV for being just an expansion, it definitely deserves your attention.

Much like Bree Olson

Shame on you for googling her.
