Saints Row 2 Steam Dlc
I like Saints Row 2 better for a couple of reasons:1. More colorful villains and not just the boring military stereotype that the third had.2. Better soundtrack.3. Longer and more varied gameplay.
I beat Saints Row 3 in 11 hours, but I beat Saints Row 2 in closer to 40 hours.4. More memorable story telling moments with better humor and dialogue.5. Better minigames (I still have no idea why they took out septic avenger from SR2)There you go, my top 5 reasons why I like Saints Row 2 better than Saints Row 3. I could go on I suppose, but you get the idea.
Ultor Exposed. Ultor Exposed is the first DLC episode for Saints Row 2. Ultor Exposed is based around the drive to destroy the Ultor Corporation, and this drive is fueled with help from an ex-employee of the corporation - Tera Patrick. Tera is an adult move star, and plays herself in the game. The pack contains new maps, new clothes, missions, and vehicles.
I liked SR3 a lot more than SR2. SR2 at the time was wonderful, with a fun cast of characters, interesting activities and pretty good villains.

However, have any of you gone back to play SR2 after being done with SR3? Maybe it's just me, but that game is practically unplayable for me now. Everything that SR3 refined, whether it was the driving, feel of the shooting or other game mechanics made the trip back to SR2 a lot harder than i thought it would be.so, on that alone, i think SR3 is better because it simply plays a lot better than the game before it. Also, there's a point where Killbane mentions the Montreal Screwjob. The wrestling fan in me thinks that a mere mention is unbeatable.
3 is a better game, and initially when I got it, quite awesome. But the novelty wears out after a period of time, and with the DLCs, I just felt bored, and worse, cheated. What makes 3 a better game, is that it doesn't force you to continuously play the minigames to progress the story. I know you have to play through each of them once, but doing it over and over just to continue the game is tedious and boring, not fun. But if they brought more of those minigames into SR3, I wouldn't mind.
Technically, the controls in SR3 Are leaps and bounds over SR2. @notdavid said:@shivermetimbers said:I like Saints Row 2 better for a couple of reasons:1. More colorful villains and not just the boring military stereotype that the third had.Am I missing something, or wasn't the main villain in Saints 3 a fucking luchador? How is that a boring military stereotype? I guess you're referring to Cyrus, but he was hardly the only villain.I got the second one for free with the online pass thing, and haven't really given a chance yet. Sell me on it.I was mostly referring to the STAGs as they seemed to take over the spotlight in the story.
Needless to say, my point about SR2 having more colorful villains stays true. SR2 has Yakuzas, Voodoo lords, the Brotherhood, and an evil corporation just to name a few. It's a little better.The core gameplay (shooting and driving) feels a lot better, but there's less variety in the weapons and cars.The story is really funny and written very well, but it's kinda unfocused and lacks any of the emotional punch of Saints Row 2 and abandons some of the major threads left hanging from that game.The DLC is shitty in both games.The character customization, aside from faces, is undeniably worse. There's really no reason for them to take out custom walkcycles and different 'wear options' for clothes and accessories (tucked in shirts, etc.)So yeah, Saints Row The Third is a bit better on the whole. I like some of the things in Saints Row the Third, and I think the craziness is pretty fun, but ultimately I think that Saints Row 2 is the better game. I just found that Saints Row The Third has less entertainment and it hits a point where it isn't that much fun anymore.
I remember getting to the endgame and thinking that even Bonnie Tyler's humorous playing of 'I NEED A HERO'! Wasn't funny at all. I just wasn't having fun and wasn't looking forward to, well, anything during the last hour.Saints Row 2, on the other hand, comes across less enthusiastically at first but is ultimately a better game. There's just more of it, for one - I spent fifteen hours in SR3 and I feel like I could drag nothing more out of it. No fancy new clothes, no cool new stores, no nice new weapons, no good side missions, nothing. All that's left to do are some snatch missions, a few shitty heli-assault missions, and finish upgrading all the way.
SR2 feels like I've barely scratched the surface of things to do at fifteen hours in. I feel like at any moment I could be doing one thing and something else the next.SR2 has its problems but as far as I'm concerned it's better than SR3 in pretty much every way, from quality of humor and writing to gameplay and things to do.
Now, if SR4 can have the variety and interesting things of SR2 with some of the more interesting aspects of SR3, like hoverbikes and stuff, then it will be the best. Also, SR4 should be more technically proficient, what with the need for a much better framerate and all. Seriously, the slowdown in both games is nuts sometimes.EDIT: Seems like other people have summed up what I've said much better by saying that each game has its good and bad. The perfect open world game will occur when we marry the insanity and controls of SR3 with the variety of SR2. I prefer Saints Row 2 for a) having gameplay that is less repetitive and b) more customization over everything (more vehicle customization options, non-civilian vehicle customization, your character walk, voice options (no black female voice? The stores weren't so repetitive and there were more open interiors to explore.The Third had a better sense of what kind of game it wanted to be. At the cost of less game.
It's better on a strictly technical level, but I couldn't get over how annoyingly over the top it was. SR2 lets you create the insane moments, and The Third shoved them down your throat. Everything in The Third felt cheezy and forced to me.I'll concede that from a strictly technical standpoint, The Third wins, but I can't really care about how great shooting mechanics are if the weapons feel crazy weak. I think SR3 is better. I think a lot of people who perfer SR2 forget how bad its plays.
The shooting, driving, etc.in SR3 is just better than it is in SR2. On the other hand, there's just a lot more content in SR2.
There's a ridiculous amount of customization you can do. There's also a lot more missions in SR2 than in SR3. I beat SR3 in like 11 hours. That's honestly pretty pathetic for an open world game. SR2 took me about 40 or so. So I think SR3 is slightly better mainly because I don't have to fight the controls to play it like in SR2 but I think SR2 has a lot more content.
