Apologies for the low quality/high compression, this is from a live stream which can only be encoded at 3500kbps, without freaking Twitch the hell out.

And it comes to an end. Or does it? I've finished the story, but there's still so much more to unlock, and mayhem to unleash. I may do occasional one-offs and streams, but this let's play is at it's end. Well... until I pick up Saint's Row 4, at least... and of course Gat Out of Hell :)

I never paid much attention to Saint's Row. Back when it was just getting started was around the time that I was losing interest in the GTA formula. I used to love GTA, from the very beginning all the way through Vice City. But something changed with San Andreas, and the series went from mostly light-hearted balls-out fun to "super-serious-mode: ACTIVATE!" and Saint's Row, at least the first one, started out with a more "serious" feel. So when Saint's Row 2 came out I ignored it, not realizing Volition had wised up and brought back the fun. And of course that lead to also ignoring Saint's Row: The Third.

That is, until a friend introduced me to the game about a year and a half ago... and then a curious thing happend, the guys at Humble Bundle teamed up with the then-dying THQ to offer a bundle of several of their games, and both Saint's Row 2 and 3 happened to be on it. So I grabbed it. And then a Steam sale came around with all the DLC for a few bucks. So I grabbed it. And yet I still did not play. Life is weird sometimes.

But now. Now it's time.

My first playthrough is going to mostly be me solo I suspect, but occasionally there will be co-op hoppers-on to assist in the mayhem. My intention is to get through the story ... relatively quickly? Because I also want to get to Saint's Row 4, and 2 if it's not too difficult to mod and the PC port isn't absolute dung. And then have a series of one-off co-op destroy-all-the-things fests whenever the mood strikes.
