Saints Row 1 on the Xbox 360 Playthrough - 1080p
5Not a GTA Playthrough this time, but something like it. The first Saints Row for the 360!
This playthrough was actually done on a whim. Was thinking about streaming some other games other than GTA to spice up the variety and the first Saints Row was something that came to mind whenever I was reflecting on my time playing the Saints Row Reboot several months ago. As you can see, the game was probably a huge mess when it came to programing it on the Xbox 360. There are an abundance of issues where the frame rate would get choppy whenever I was in a location where there were a lots of objects or buildings or whenever things got busy on screen which made it difficult to complete certain missions where I had to kill people or blow up someone's vehicle. IF this game was released today, gamers would be in droves since anything that is not 60 FPS or higher would be deemed unacceptable to them. The recent release of Gotham Knights just proved that since that game has gotten a lot of backlash for being capped at 30 FPS. But this is 2006 we're talking about. Bad framerate in games was sort of second nature to us. I guess I should've played it on my Xbox One as that console runs the game at a native 30 FPS without any slowdown. It was originally WAS supposed to be a PS2 title after all and Volition were newcomers when it came to developing an open world game which isn't as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. Other technical issues such as the world not loading properly and my vehicle disappearing. I'm also not a fan of the drive-by controls as they've aged terribly. There's been many instances in this playthrough where I moan in disgust because of them along with the frame rate. Probably the only thing about the game that has aged like milk. Another thing I wanna point out is that ammo can become scarce really easily, and to add insult to injury the ammo that you buy at the gun store is the same price as if you bought a weapon and the stores aren't available at night. But at least you could rob them. I know I sound pretty pedantic here, but I still enjoyed my time with Saints Row 1 as it's a game that I grew up playing back in the day and it's miles better than the reboot.
