It's silly fun. That's why I enjoyed it.

It's fun is really my main reason.

Unsure what you mean by the game looking fuzzy, it looks great on my comp at max settings. Mouse aiming seems fine too.

It plays very nicely IMO. My only gripe in terms of controls is that I can only invert controls for everything when i only want to invert controls for planes. So basically I can't fly planes in it, or I can ONLY fly planes in it.

It's my favourite saints row game, between 1 not being released on PC and 2 being so poorly optimized as to be outright unplayable it's really my only viable choice.

I never enjoyed the game either. After playing the GTAs it just felt like a watered-down alternative. People will probably enjoy it if they appreciate the humor and the more comic elements over GTA games but I just couldn't get into it after several attempts. Like you said, the style of graphics aren't appealing, and I found they looked very flat and unfinished. Unless you get headshots it does take half a clip or so to kill a single npc which just frustrated me.

Yeah but fun is different for different people. For some the Wii was "just fun" but I found it boring. It all depends.

erm... what point are you making exactly? i simply said i found it fun, is that not good enough for you?

Well in that case: uninstall it without looking back. You'd probably never like it and just waste your time with it.

You said fun was the reason you liked it and I was simply saying fun is subjective. Calm down.

Well, okay I guess. Seems like something way too obvious to comment on, though.

Well... It was fun. It was just silly. A silly game that allowed you to do a lot of over the top, silly things. Add a fantastic coop support on top of that and you get a game that you can have a lot of fun with. It's not the best thing I have ever played, not by a long shot, but I really liked all the references to everything ever, I liked the humor, I liked how varied the game was. ... That's just about it I'd say. It's not something I'd replay, but I definitely enjoyed it the first time around.

Because it is fun at it simplest. No "Your mother has died and you must make the gang cool again" or "I would like to be a good guy but you can't run away of your past"
This game is more like: Have you had a hard day? Here, have a giant purple penis and hit that fat guy until he explodes.
Besides, it is so cliché and stupid that I can't but laugh. So, although it is NOT a masterpiece, it's a really funny game for those times you don't want to think and just want to keep your mind out of other stuff.

I happen to have just started playing it yesterday, I would have never even bothered but people keep saying its great fun!
I'll have to get back at ya when I've played some more... as for now I can say that's it's nice to have a game that doesn't take itself seriously, the ratio of those against "serious" games has plummeted in apst decade and a half.

Mainly because of madness.

Sure it's a pretty easy game, somehow challenging for the first 20 levels if played on hard, but still I find SR3 a good way to pass time: it's funny, npcs are crazy enough, there are lots of things to do, and bouncing boobs.

I wouldn't think too hard about why people would like this kind of game if I were you, Velvet. Subjectivity in taste and shit, you know.

As for myself...uh...I was mainly interested in the character and vehicle customization. And I don't normally like GTA-style crime sims so the silliness took some of the edge off. Granted, I did wait until SR3 was on sale. And I did think it relied a bit too much on its scripted activities and mission structure to give you stuff to do. For example, I thought Just Cause 2 did a slightly better job giving you something to do in an open world without hamstringing you with missions and minigames, even though all you were able to do was blow stuff up over and over.

I like Saints Row the Third because I felt it was "more of the same" from GTA: Vice City (which is my favourite GTA so far).
