Worth every minute. Just finished and found the entire experience to be entertaining. At the end of the day, this game is just fun. Yes, it's insane, yes it's filled with numerous 80s and 90s culture references that take it over the top but everything added to the experience. Highly recommended.

Yes, it finished Friday afternoon and I tried it out a bit late Friday night. I was right at the end of this game so I had to push through and finish. No way I was going to let it sit idle. I tried doing the Online GTA stuff but of course my 2400 bps DSL connection is giving me issues. I seem to be able to roam around ok, but during a race I was blinking in and out of existence.

I am about 10 hours into it now and this is what I like about the game. Running faster than super cars, jumping insane heights, shooting fireballs that make the bad guys (and bystanders) explode, telekinesis throwing tanks at other tanks, unlimited ammo... The list goes on and on. I will say that I like the open world game play more than the story missions mostly because apparently I am a prude and I don't find a lot of their juvenile humor very funny... and I call it juvenile humor. The good news is there is more open world game play than story missions.

Yeah, open roaming is fun as hell. I think I have about 90% of the collectibles, which amazes me as I'm not really into that stuff (mostly because it drives me insane). And yes, while the humor is definitely...low brow at times, if you finish the Dominatrix DLC and don't have a genuine smile on your face, you might just be a robot.

Wow. I picked this up this morning in a sale on Indigala, and I am amazed. I played Saint's Row 1,2, and 3, and none of them sucked me in. This one just has it. When I read about the concept, I scoffed and said it wasn't for me. But since the whole shebang was only 11 bucks, I decided to try it out.

It is the first time playing this series that I am into it. Not sure why. Maybe the super powers, or the Matrix thing, or that I don't have to feel even a tiny bit of guilt for killing pixels. But I am definitely onboard for this one. All the way to the end.

Crossplay and upgrade coming for Saints Row IV
We are pleased to let you know that on December 8th we will be upgrading all copies of Saints Row IV to Saints Row IV: Re-Elected. This includes Saints Row IV: Game of The Century Edition. This means that players who own Saints Row IV in any capacity will be automatically upgraded to Saints Row IV: Re-Elected and therefore will have access to the included DLC packs:
.
.
.
All other versions and separate DLC will be removed from sale as of December 8th and will no longer be useable. All of your saves and achievements will be moved over so you can still play as you always have. Mods should not be affected.

This change will go live for Windows players on December 8 and later for Linux players.

Along side this update we are thrilled to let you know that crossplay on PC will become available with players on Epic Games and GOG, so you can create mayhem with a friend on another launcher! So go forth Saints, and paint Steelport Purple.
If you don't already own a copy, Saints Row IV: Re-Elected will be free on Epic Games Store next week (Dec 8 - Dec 15).
