BREAKING: Saint’s Row 3 Might Not Be the World’s Most Realistic Game
I never played the first two Saint’s Row games — not for any particular reason, other than maybe I thought it was just a Grand Theft Auto knock-off and those had got weirdly strict and serious, despite their sandbox nature. However, I will be playing the living shit out of Saint’s Row the Third when it comes out on October 11th, thanks a great deal to preview videos like the one above. If it seems oddly low key, go ahead and fast-forward to about 4:45, and enjoy. It might not be exceedingly realistic, but it looks fun as fucking hell. And frankly, I’ll take fun videogames over realistic videogames any day of the week.
