Hello and welcome back to my new review
Segment details
0:00–0:04 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_0of this video game on the Switch Lite.
Segment details
0:04–0:06 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_1It's called Saints Row 3, and I
Segment details
0:06–0:10 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_2recently bought this and I wanted to make
Segment details
0:10–0:13 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_3a video about why it's a pretty bad game.
Segment details
0:14–0:16 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_4I've been playing it for about 10 hours,
Segment details
0:17–0:19 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_5I think, in total, and I've come to the
Segment details
0:20–0:22 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_6conclusion that it is not really any fun.
Segment details
0:22–0:25 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_7So first of all, let me describe the game
Segment details
0:26–0:29 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_8in a nutshell. It's basically a rip-off of
Segment details
0:29–0:31 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_9Grand Theft Auto. It's a complete blatant
Segment details
0:32–0:35 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_10rip-off of GTA. And I guess the main
Segment details
0:36–0:38 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_11difference between this and GTA is, well,
Segment details
0:38–0:41 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_12as you can see, it's, it's kind of over
Segment details
0:41–0:43 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_13the top and, um, it's wacky, trying to be
Segment details
0:43–0:47 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_14all over the top and quirky and
Segment details
0:47–0:50 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_15in your face. And, uh, it's just— it's not
Segment details
0:50–0:54 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_16really that funny, to be honest, even
Segment details
0:54–0:56 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_17though it seems like it's trying really
Segment details
0:56–0:58 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_18hard to be funny and to try and separate
Segment details
0:58–1:01 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_19itself from GTA, which is more of a
Segment details
1:01–1:03 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_20serious game, I would say. But this is,
Segment details
1:04–1:06 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_21as you can see, it's just a really
Segment details
1:07–1:08 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_22annoying game. First of all, the gameplay
Segment details
1:08–1:11 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_23does not feel good to play, and that's
Segment details
1:12–1:14 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_24just a really big shame because the game
Segment details
1:14–1:16 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_25actually looks fairly decent.
Segment details
1:16–1:18 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_26The graphics aren't too bad and the
Segment details
1:19–1:21 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_27ragdoll physics aren't too bad. So let me
Segment details
1:22–1:24 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_28show you what the world looks like.
Segment details
1:24–1:25 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_29As you can see, it is an open world game
Segment details
1:28–1:30 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_30and there's a living city full of cars and
Segment details
1:31–1:34 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_31people, and you can steal the cars, you
Segment details
1:34–1:37 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_32can do anything you want to do, it's just
Segment details
1:37–1:39 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_33like GTA. There's 2 main parts of the
Segment details
1:39–1:41 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_34game. There's the sandbox open world part
Segment details
1:41–1:43 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_35where You can just run around. Look, you
Segment details
1:44–1:45 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_36can just run about and punch people for no
Segment details
1:46–1:49 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_37reason, and they just kind of stand around
Segment details
1:50–1:52 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_38not really reacting. The AI in the game is
Segment details
1:52–1:55 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_39not the best, I have to say. If you do go
Segment details
1:55–1:58 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_40around punching people, the police will
Segment details
1:59–2:00 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_41come and chase you down like this, and you
Segment details
2:00–2:03 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_42just beat them up. The game is very
Segment details
2:03–2:05 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_43unrealistic. I think that's my main
Segment details
2:06–2:07 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_44problem with it. You can just stand there
Segment details
2:07–2:10 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_45absorbing bullets. Look at him just
Segment details
2:10–2:11 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_46shooting me, and you can take a crazy
Segment details
2:12–2:15 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_47amount of damage.
Segment details
2:16–2:16 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_48And the game is just not challenging
Segment details
2:20–2:21 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_49unless you've got like 50 people attacking
Segment details
2:22–2:24 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_50you at the same time. I guess the whole
Segment details
2:24–2:26 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_51gimmick of the game is you're some kind of
Segment details
2:27–2:28 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_52superhero. You're not just some average
Segment details
2:28–2:30 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_53Joe. You can do all these crazy stunts
Segment details
2:30–2:33 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_54like jumping into a car And,
Segment details
2:33–2:37 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_55um, drop-kicking people from a mile away
Segment details
2:37–2:41 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_56and then just, I don't know, rolling out
Segment details
2:41–2:43 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_57of vehicles like this. I guess you're
Segment details
2:44–2:47 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_58supposed to be some kind of action hero.
Segment details
2:47–2:48 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_59So there's 2 parts of the game. There's a
Segment details
2:49–2:52 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_60sandbox mode where you can do this, and
Segment details
2:52–2:54 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_61then there's the missions and the story
Segment details
2:54–2:56 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_62mode. The story mode is really boring.
Segment details
2:56–2:57 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_63Every mission is just pretty much the same
Segment details
2:58–3:00 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_64where Uh, you have to go to some location
Segment details
3:00–3:04 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_65and then there's a load of bad guys and
Segment details
3:04–3:07 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_66then you just shoot them. That's it
Segment details
3:07–3:09 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_67really. And then there's some kind of
Segment details
3:09–3:10 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_68scripted event like a helicopter chase,
Segment details
3:11–3:13 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_69uh, or you have to parachute out the sky
Segment details
3:16–3:18 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_70and then shoot enemies whilst parachuting
Segment details
3:19–3:22 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_71down. It's kind of like he's trying to be
Segment details
3:23–3:26 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_72James Bond and Tom Cruise, like this
Segment details
3:26–3:28 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_73action movie kind of theme,
Segment details
3:29–3:32 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_74but I don't know, I just don't really find
Segment details
3:33–3:35 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_75it interesting or entertaining. I just
Segment details
3:35–3:38 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_76think it's kind of dumb, which I suppose
Segment details
3:38–3:41 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_77it's supposed to be dumb. It's like a dumb
Segment details
3:41–3:43 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_78action game, isn't it? Not really much
Segment details
3:43–3:46 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_79depth to it. You can upgrade skills and
Segment details
3:46–3:49 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_80you can get new costumes and clothing.
Segment details
3:49–3:51 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_81You can get a crib— a crib, I think that's
Segment details
3:51–3:54 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_82what it's called— like a home base.
Segment details
3:55–3:56 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_83Where you can hide out and get weapons
Segment details
3:59–4:01 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_84and, I don't know, do other stuff. So
Segment details
4:01–4:04 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_85there's a lot of customization in the
Segment details
4:04–4:06 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_86game. You can also completely design your
Segment details
4:07–4:09 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_87character from the ground up. You can
Segment details
4:09–4:11 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_88design everything. You can design the
Segment details
4:11–4:13 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_89shape of his nose, shape of his eyes,
Segment details
4:13–4:15 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_90shape of his face, his chin, his skin
Segment details
4:15–4:18 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_91color. But I don't really care about that
Segment details
4:19–4:21 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_92kind of stuff. If the game's not fun to
Segment details
4:21–4:23 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_93play, then does it really matter about
Segment details
4:23–4:24 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_94what your character looks like. The only
Segment details
4:25–4:27 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_95fun thing— the only fun thing to do in the
Segment details
4:28–4:30 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_96game is driving around, running people
Segment details
4:30–4:32 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_97over, fighting the cops.
Segment details
4:32–4:36 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_98But after a while, that kind of gets old
Segment details
4:38–4:40 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_99and boring. I just shot him in the nuts.
Segment details
4:40–4:43 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_100There are some weird things you can do in
Segment details
4:44–4:45 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_101the game. He likes punching people in the
Segment details
4:46–4:48 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_102nuts a lot.
Segment details
4:48–4:49 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_103But I don't know why I don't enjoy playing
Segment details
4:56–4:59 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_104this game. I can play for about 10 or 20
Segment details
4:59–5:01 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_105minutes where I just drive around running
Segment details
5:01–5:03 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_106people over, and then I get bored.
Segment details
5:03–5:06 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_107It's a weird game where, where there's
Segment details
5:07–5:10 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_108lots of things to do, and it seems like a
Segment details
5:10–5:12 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_109very interactive open world,
Segment details
5:12–5:15 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_110but it gets boring very quickly. And I
Segment details
5:15–5:19 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_111just don't care about the story. I don't
Segment details
5:19–5:21 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_112even know what the story's about. And the
Segment details
5:21–5:24 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_113main missions are just not fun to do.
Segment details
5:24–5:26 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_114They feel like a chore to do, like they're
Segment details
5:26–5:30 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_115tedious. They don't really make me want to
Segment details
5:30–5:33 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_116finish them. And then when you die, you
Segment details
5:33–5:35 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_117have to start back at the checkpoint, the
Segment details
5:36–5:38 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_118last checkpoint. I kind of like

5:38–5:42 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_119how there's blood See, the blood spatters
Segment details
5:42–5:45 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_120are pretty cool. I like the way it's
Segment details
5:45–5:47 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_121violent.
Segment details
5:47–5:47 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_122Um, don't really know what else to say
Segment details
5:50–5:52 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_123about it. It is a nice looking game.
Segment details
5:53–5:55 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_124Can't really complain about the graphics.
Segment details
5:56–5:58 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_125I don't know if this was a waste of money.
Segment details
6:03–6:05 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_126If you want a GTA experience on Switch, I
Segment details
6:07–6:10 · rev_4649210472ff22a13b304650894fc9dd_127think this is the best you're going to
