Saints Row: The Third

will this be capped/locked to 30fps? tempted to pre order the download version from shopto for around £22 but i want to make sure it isn't capped or anything.

It isn't capped/locked in any way. Vsync is an option in the video settings though.

Yeah i just got 1 key.... im assuming either:

1 - His autokey system cant handle a 2nd key and ive sent a ticket requesting info as to whether he has a DLC key to send out

or

2 - As ive unlocked the game via the VPN that I have to wait for the UK release date for Steam to allow me to see the DLC and for me to download and activate it...

I dont know tbh, will be annoyed if this lad dosent come through with the LE version as i want that cannon car :D

Saints Row Limited + Standard Keys have been re-stocked. The limited keys in autokey include Genki pack DLC codes. For the customers who got a batch of keys which did NOT include Genki pack DLC, we are contacting our supplier about it and will send you the genki codes as soon as possible.

I have as well and it's.....not as polished as GTA4.

by polished I do not mean performance, performance was just fine and the graphics were good too but on the whole it's more cartoony in many places compared to GTA4.

I played with everything max and 2xFSAA and got 30+ fps, just like in GTA4 which is perfectly smooth.

The vehicle controls however were terrible compared to GTA and the car sounds were beyond terrible.

Also overall volume was low and the controls weren't the best either.

The cars also felt like they were rolling on butter instead of tarmac, they are nowhere near as accurate or fun as GTA4.

Brainless randomness is what it is but the novelty does not really last because of the let downs.

You kind of miss the whole point though, this is what Saints Row is. If it was not cartoony and over the top then it would be called something else. GTA = serious and Saints Row = way of the top stupid silly mega fun.

Quick question as I've skimmed the whole thread. I've played the SR series from the first incarnation and always loved it to bits for being a lot more FUN than the GTA series. Both have their pro's and cons obviously.

Is this thing ever coming on Steam? I know the game is a steamworks title but I just cba getting it elsewhere atm.

Voorhees1979 has it spot on. SR series revolves around fun and mayhem, instead of the goto A and kill xyz of GTA, which we're so used to. Hell I remember spraying diners and buildings in SR2 with a stolen sewage truck :o :D
 
Minus the Mega Fun bit. If the vehicles handle like butter then that removes any ounce of mega fun IMO.
 
I've never found the vehicles in the SR games to be particularly bad? Sure, they don't handle realistically, but it adds a level of "bouncy bouncy" (I guess is the only way I can describe it!) irreverence to the whole thing.

Which is great. Personally, I hated driving in GTA 4.

People who are rubbish at driving vehicles always hate GTA for its more realistic driving dynamics :p
