Well yeah i suppose a bad time for you

but it all comes down to what other games that are coming out and what actually interest's you

for next month Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 i can wait for it to get cheaper, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim not really interested.

Indeed they did. I can see myself giving it a shot when christmas passes and i'm bored as hell, but before then? Arkham City, Modern Warfare 3, even Uncharted 3 (and i've not played the other two), Battlefield 3, Skyrim... Even Colonial Marines isn't far off.

Considering this game will probably be around 50 hours of gameplay (if you do a lot of the secondary stuff, which is probably where all the fun is), this screams of a Summer game.

I think games should release more in the summer. A good, quality game can still do really well.

I'm talking in general. This holiday is getting blitzed with games. How much A-list coverage is being paid to Saints Row, compared to the other big franchises? How much mroe exposure would they receive without that competition?

Yeah, I haven't really seen a lot of coverage for it.

It's not just MW3, or Skyrim, it's Gears 3, Forza 4, Batman, BF3, Uncharted 3, Assassins Creed Revelations, Zelda.

Every week there is a triple A title coming out and it's usually a sequel to a huge franchise.

But they have to be careful with exposure, Too much of it and it could be a let down for some people.

You think they're better off releasing around the holiday? Because this argument is true regardless of when they release the game. If your game isn't good enough, it's a letdown to some. But more exposure usually just means that more will be aware of it.

Really, some games are covered more than others, but outside of Duke and Daikatana, has a game ever provably suffered from pre-release exposure?

Theres a demo to try out now on Xbox live, The Initiation Station

the demo enables you to create, share and download your own outlandish characters for use in Saints Row: The Third,

Despite the massive number of A-List games coming out, Saint's Row still has the potential to do well for several reasons.

A big one of those reasons is how outrageously insane the game is. Every game coming out is fun in it's own way, but none of them are just fun. Saints is known for doing over the top stuff and the series as a whole has always just been tons of fun. For example, you could spend hours doing sidequests on Skyrim, and you could spend hours driving around, running people over, sticking them with 20 semtex bombs and launching them into the sky, or launching them with the man cannon in Third. Of the two, Skyrim would probably leave you more satisfied with it's sheer scope, but Saints is just damn fun.

so the demo it's just a creation tool?

no gameplay whatsoever?

I'm wasting bandwidth then 😐

I agree. This demo is lame. Was looking forward to the gameplay but instead, I can only play around with the customization.

Volition, you suck.

Yeah, I can already see the politicians preparing their speeches. 😉
