Saints Row and Enchanted Arm is released - Aug 31, 2006 09:22
I was in my local video store trying to find a used copy of COD2 (my copy is now unusable) and to my surprise I found Saints Row just sitting there. Damn I almost forgot that it was out. Its pretty good but I find it way too easy, I can have the cops and a rival gang completely pissed off at me and still survive. I liked how in GTA you would get raped by the army if they ever showed up. Saints Row is a great rental but I wouldn' t buy it.

Enchanted Arm is also out in NA...

So far the only review I have seen has given it a seven out of ten for being a
typical JRPG...

I really want to see the Raikoh Golem though, apparently he is really rare..

I' m not really a fan of turn-based, so my brother is probably going to pick this one
up for himself. I' ll give it a try though..

That' s to be expected... It' s an exact GTA clone! If you were waiting for the next
GTA this would help you along nicely. This game has been met with a lot of
" Now you know the next GTA is going to look so much better than this"

I won' t be picking up Saints Row.. The only game I will be picking up in the next
week is Dead Rising...

In the japanese version he sounds fine, but looks the gay part... I have no idea
why they ramped up his gayness to a seismic value of 10 for the english
version though...

It' s not out in EU or atleast not in Sweden yet,and that' s a good thing since i doesnt have any money on me at the moment.
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Saint Row looks tight, when it first showed up, I tried the demo...couple mins later... almost fell alseep@_@ wassup wit that, maybe its just me, I really don' t like how the game lets you create you' re own charactor(yeah I know it lets you be creative), but I' m into games that already has its own charactor creation, because of that it just ruine the fun out of me, I' ll pas and wait till GTA4.
Hmm Enchanted Arms looks good but not that great, probably check it out later, right now I still beating the crap out of zombie in Dead Rising the game has great visual and gameplay, but with the 72hr period of the game, I' m trying to do as much side-mission and save as much survivors as fast as I can, might have to beat it more then 2-3 time to get a good rating.

well at least its the first ' decent' gta clone as I have heard. I havent played it, hell, I have only played cod2,pgr3 + kameo on the 360, thats it.

But anyway, This just makes everybodys expectations for gta4 go way up.

RE: Saints Row and Enchanted Arm is released - Aug 31, 2006 23:13
The only complaint I have about Saints Row is its online play is still a but buggy. But this game has so many little things that I havent read in the reviews. Such as if you wanna replay a mission at anytime, just take a ride to the theatre. Or if you' re pretty messed up call 911 on your cell phone and a medic will come to aid you, same with various other services. I also found a number spray painted on a wall and decided to call it, now I have a guy in a chicken suit on call whenever I need back up.

I like how the game is separated into 4 stories which you coudl choose to do at the same time or one at a time or whatever and it tracks it nicly. Everything is very organized and easy to use. And there is so many options to customize your style and cars. The garage system is andled nicly as you dont have to worry about ever losing your fancy new ride once its been stored in a garage once.

The framerate so far has only taken a hit when I was using the rocket launcher on a tanker truck near a gas station with many people around...yeah you do the math. Aside from thats amuch better then it was in the demo. And its cool if you leave the radio on in a car you can still hear it while outside the car only slightly muffled.

There' s alot of stuff for GTA fans to love about this game but they really need to fix the online cause from what I was able to play it was really fun. However I do wish it stole just a few other things from GTA such as motorcycles and airplanes. The ragdoll physics in this game would make those vehicles very satisfying. Blood wouldve been a nice addition. Might as well go the distance if your gonna have an over the top action game. Put some gore in it.

Saints Row is indeed brilliant, it even betters the mighty GTA is some aspects. The shooting mechanics in particular are far better than GTA and enemies actually react to bullets thanks to the ever reliable rag doll physics. I also like the fact that the main missions can be restarted instantly whenever you fail. The online play is fantastic fun too, but it does suffer from some awful lag from time to time.

Enchanted Arms is looking great too!

Alot of my favorite RPGs have gotten scores like that, like Star Ocean 2 and Legend Of Legaia, and the stuff that gets high scores like kingdom hearts and dark cloud 2 I usually hate, so I dont trust reviews for RPGs.

havent played enough to give much impressions but from the hour or two I played:

Graphics arent very good, it deffinetely doesnt look next-gen, looks like a high-res xbox game, but then again I' ve only seen the school and the outskirts of the school area so...

Music is mediocre

Voice acting is not that good, the gay guy is annoying me already. His voice is so gay it' s retarded.

The battle sysyem isn' t very complex, you fight on 2 grids and can attack oponents by properly positioning yourself, you can' t step into their grid though so if they back off to like the 3rd grid back and you have a character with only close-range abilities you cant attack your enemy, since the closest you can get is to the first row of their grid.. although everyone but the main character has long range skills so it isnt a problem.

The story so far is the same shit as always, he' s a typical lazy teenager at a magic university and he falls asleep in class yet he excels in magic even though he' s a dumbass and doesnt pay attention in class... the other 2 main characters are his best friend Toya who is a stud and all the girls love him (but he acts serious) and the last one is Makota who is a flamboyant homo who constantly hits on Toya, some of the shit he says is funny but hes so gay its annoying....

Where I' m at there was an earthquake disrupting the peace and quiet and Im supposed to check out wtfs going on.

So far it sucks and I went back to playing oblivion :O

People say the beggining is ass and it gets good later on so we' ll see...

Anyway, it' s not like theres anything good to buy on xbox360 released recently, the saints row demo made me vomit so that isn' t a choice for me, and I dont play last gen consoles so w/e I probably wasted $55 on this shit, oh well.

you should really wait a few days to see what people think and maybe play it at a friends house or something.

A lesson learned eh?

Everyone has said that the game looks great.
Gametrailers said it look like cutscens from ps2 in real time.

However you' re dumb enough to compare it to games like gears of war,mgs4 etc.

Yes it doesnt use all of the power of the 360,but there is no rpg that is even close to its graphic so stfu fag.

Um, everyone that has reviewed it says the graphics sucks.

Gamespot gave it a 6/10 in graphics:

" The environments aren' t impressive, either. You' ll see a lot of huge, wide-open areas that show no signs of life whatsoever. The entire world feels empty and uninhabited, which makes for dull viewing. Sometimes you' ll see some shiny textures, but for the most part, this game pales in comparison to other Xbox 360 games, regardless of whether you' re viewing it on a standard definition or high-definition television"


You really are a fucking idiot arguing against this when I FUCKING OWN THE GAME AND CAN SEE WITH MY EYES THAT THE GRAPHICS SUCK.

Seriously go fucking kill yourself you dumb shit.

Okay Oblivion.
But you gonna compare every rpg one of the best ever made?

Also OB is a ported game,its not only for consoles as EM is.



Gamespot isn' t every media.
That gamespot reviewer is one person.
I have the game playing ifront of me.
It looks great.
Anyone here can go to IGN/GAMEPSOT.

And check out these images.

ITS A NEXT GEN PC GAME.
YOU IDIOT.
You can have a better pc then a console tyoday but mayby that come as a shock you retard.
YOU CAN HAVE OB LOOK BETTER ON A PC THEN A 360.
And you can have a longer draw distance and better frame-rate.

This game is clearly a port.

Thats why it was delayed.

What the fuck does that have to do with EM' s graphics sucking ass?

Oblivion on Xbox360, looks 20 times better than Enchanted Arms.

Period.

What the fuck does PCs even have to do with anything? You' re an imbecile.

Stop making up retarded excuses that don' t make any fucking sense, Enchanted Arm' s graphics = garbage. Deal with it and move on.
