Saints Row 2: A review
After playing Saints Row 2 with Revek last night, I give it a resounding "Meh".
We played 5 activities and 2 missions, and I don't know if it was Revek's driving, or just the fact that it's another third party PoV game, but I didn't enjoy it as much as you guys have been pushing it.
Mind you, I am still in the very beginning of the game, and it might have some wicked re-playability going for it; I just don't know yet. Maybe I should play with Coxxorz and not Revek....

After reading certain parties descriptions of this being a great and fun game I rented it over the weekend. I tried it for about five hours and am disappointed. It seems like just another GTA IV to me. I am glad that I only rented it and didn't buy it.
Stormblade, you should have just rented the game and not have purchased it.
If you don't like the GTA style of game, and prefer to follow a linear path laid out by a developer, then this game isn't for you. Especially if you play alone.
If, however, you like hanging out with the Cats in a massively interactive environment where you're free to wreak all sorts of havoc while making your own fun, then this is for you.
all bunched up. It was stated that the game was different from GTA. Obviously you meant the whores and cars are different. My bad for misinterpreting that.
I like massive interactive environments where I can wreak havoc. You have seen me playing Fallout.
What did havoc ever do to you?
Maybe you should reap havoc
Works better.
I assume this is some obscure form of sarcasm?
Thank you anal retentive boy. I was left in much confusion from troll's post. Here I thought that he was restoring order to Washington, but your timely post was able to indicate to me that he probably used the wrong word. That what he was actually doing was causing havoc.
Thanks.
I am allowed a few screw ups, even with this crowd.
Was not directed at you, it was directed at Stormblade for correcting your acceptable use of wreaking havoc. It was elitist boy's presumption / assumption that his way is the only way, and all others should tow the line or be mocked.
To wreak havoc is similar to saying wrought havoc, which is also acceptable.
Wreaking havoc is an misnomer that made its way into the common vernacular by the ignorant masses unable to grasp the concept of reaping havoc. One does not wreak havoc, you uneducated cur.
Stupid Middle English. The language hath really gone downe-hill since the merrie 1500's.
But if you analyse the actual statement: Reap Havoc.
What is Reap?
If we look at the definittion in Webster:
Main Entry: reap
Pronunciation: \ˈrēp\
Function: verb
Etymology: Middle English repen, from Old English reopan
Date: before 12th century
transitive verb
1 a (1): to cut with a sickle, scythe, or reaping machine (2): to clear of a crop by reaping b: to gather by reaping : harvest
2: obtain , win
intransitive verb
: to reap something
It is either about harvesting, or obtaining something.
So, if we take the first possible definition, we are gathering or harvesting havoc? How do you grow havoc? Do you water it once per day?
And the second possible definition, we win or obtain havoc. Gee, I'd hate to be a winner of that lottery.
"Congratulations, you have just won one week of havoc! Don't forget to pack your flame thrower!"
And finally, the dictionary that you pointed us too. Urban Dictionary? I was not aware that they were a repository of the literary history of the English Language. Are they even British? If you go to the main page of Urban Dictionary, their title clearly states:
Urban Dicitonary is the SLANG dictionary YOU WROTE. And has been in existance since 1999!
Why just on their front page, the words of the day:
yellular
off the box
Crash Wednesday
spicey edit
Yup, very good source of the proper use of the English language.
Next thing you know, you are going to try to convince us that Stormblade is a real word and has historical significance.
I currently do not have the time necessary to show you the error of your ways, not the mention your obvious ignorance of the history of the English language. Once I get the fracking ERP implemented I will whip up on all your ignorant asses, yo.

Actually, we should post our Saints Row character photos. If only we had some kind of website...
I wonder what his comeback will be now?
Quote a dictionary no one has ever heard of before. That's like saying it's an American expression.
You also forget there are more Americans then Canadians and Brits combined so quit acting like a Frenchman! Biiitch! <-- That is gangster.
Oh by the way, I did enjoy your book quite a bit. So when is the second volume coming out?

Here I was, just doing some hapless American baiting, and I get jumped on by my usual tag team partners.
Sometimes you can never win.
mindless boring meeting listening to some project managerand his cronies talk about crap they know nothing about. I guess that is why they became project managers, they can't do anything useful and are too bumb to become managers. That may be an oxymoron statement, but I am brain dead from listening to some database dweeb talk about warehousing.
I can always start on the Canadian jokes if you like, but I always like a challenge. ;)
This way, when I hate it as much as I know I will, I can whine and complain back at Blackwalt and Coxxorz, thereby gaining some payback.
It's worth the $30.
But you're already overdrawn in the whining department.
"Maybe I should play with Coxxorz and not Revek...."
+1.
Or anybody else, really.
Come on, I needs the pawz.
