I've been gifted saints row iv.  Do i need to go find/play the other 3?

[King Playa]

Lucky, I wanted it but didn't have Xbox Gold to download it, lol.

I'm not exactly sure, since I haven't played it myself, but most of the games in that series function well as stand alone. Not as well since GTA, since multiple characters are recurring, but it's not exactly known for its Mass Effect level of plot.

Numbers 1 and 3 were alright, but unspectacular. Probably might wanna go out and get Saints Row, since that one was pretty good.

Next time say somthing Playa, a couple of us have free trial codes lying around

[Aeon_spiral]

playa did message me about it, unfortunately i wasn't able to respond to it in time

Unless you’re really into the storyline, it isn’t really necessary to play the first three.

The first game feels more or less like an old GTA clone. It isn’t bad, it just is what it is.

The second game is still the best one. They added more stuff and still stuck to its gangsta roots.

Third one was crap. They were trying to do something slightly different, which might have been okay had they not cut a lot of the old stuff that made it good in the first place. (Had the worst storyline as well)

The fourth one you currently have is okay. Really plays a lot differently than the first three given that you gain super powers and all.

Never played the "5th" Saints Row (Gat outta Hell).

Thanks Forge, and you're good Aeon Lmao. If someone could hook me up with a trial I'd appreciate it. Just got battlefield four and can't play it online yet, so if the experience is good enough I'll probably get gold once my court fees are paid off.

And yeah, End is right. My original post should've said Saints Row 2, not the original.

I'm working till like 11 tonight so after I get home I'll try dig one out but might be tomorrow

[King Playa]

I won't complain lol. Thanks mi breda.

1:
GTA, but with gangster sim elements thrown in.

2:
GTA, but you pretty much become the ultimate, city-owning Batman Villain.

3:
Tried desperately to be Saints Row IV, they cut everything, though, and it sucked.

4:
Pretty good superpower sim. Like a Don-Quixote-style parody of modern video games.

Gat outta Hell:
2 & 1/2 hours of you not really getting to play as your own character and them trying to force you to care about Gat, who I, personally, didn't think was that funny since he first showed up, but hey, more absurd weapons and shit.

Ended up getting 2 and 3.
Playing 2 right now.  There's no fast travel.  A lot of "I can't look at the map and the road! ***Driver Bailout" XD
Also, weirdly inconsistent about which fences are insurmountable/ which trees are made of adamantium.
