I wasn’t even in the game, yet here I was, already laughing at the little history lesson about the Saints gang as it was slowly scrolling up on the screen.įrom here, the game takes us to the very first mission, where the Saints gang (yourself, Johnny Gat, Shaundi and a ride-along actor) robs the First National Bank in Stilwater. The very first thing that greets you upon starting up a new game in Saints Row: The Third is a Star Wars-like spoof intro with the opening theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey playing in the background. Saints Row: The Third (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC) Sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself here, aren’t I? When it came time to make my character, though, I instead opted to build the girl of my dreams: an Asian lady with really big boobs wearing absolutely nothing. So I was going to create a Jim Sterling lookalike, because the image of a giant man with a thick British accent blowing sh*t up was hilarious to me.
The night before, it was suggested to me that I should imagine the kind of character I want to create (the amount of options was pretty daunting, especially with the limited time we had). THQ invited us out for one last extended look at this insane open-world crime game, giving me complete freedom to play around in Steelport. We’re less than a month away now from the release of Saints Row: The Third.
