Saints Row - The Third for Nintendo Switch

Product Information

Cooperative gameplay is "drop-in and drop-out" such that players can come and go [7] with their individual game progress saved for later single-player play. [8] Both the online and offline modes require a paid online pass. [15] Gera, Emily (June 20, 2012). " 'Saints Row 3' expansion no longer in development, content merging with sequel". Polygon.

Character-customization is absolutely ridiculous (not as good as in SR2 though) and that is probably the game's biggest strength as both the story and gameplay fall short.

You can really tell this is a game from 2011, though. The gunplay can sometimes be a little unsatisfying as hitboxes are intermittent at best and some guns are so woefully underpowered that until you upgrade them they almost feel useless. There are still way too many escort missions with difficulty spikes that can occasionally take the fun out of the experience. Oh, and those brutes are just as ridiculously fast, despite being built like tanks. You can tell no changes have been made to Saints Row: The Third's mechanics, just technical changes to make it fit on Switch. Absolutely. Saints Row: The Third cheat codes work on all game versions, platforms, and editions. The remastered version features all of your favorite cheat codes from before. Please note that enabling cheats will make achievements and trophies disabled, meaning you cannot earn them on that save file. If you have Activities you haven't done yet, or you still have neighborhoods to take over, now would be a good time to do it so you keep the cash rolling in. However, because Steelport is under martial law from here on out -- which means that STAG is absolutely everywhere and you're almost always under at least one-star notoriety with the cops -- it'll be unnecessarily dangerous and complicated to do any diversions. So, avoid the Saints Book, and just concentrate on buying properties or doing Activities if you really want to add to your controlled hoods. Sykes, Tom (June 16, 2013).

First of all, Saints Row: The Third is better than any GTA game. And it isn't just some poor man's clone. It's very different, just in the same genre. The scenes are more dense, using more props. A system called LSTV (large scale texture variations) is used to eliminate the 'tiling' effect when looking across vistas. On top of that, there are more cars and people wandering the city streets - another way in which overall density is improved. Vehicles are remade, weapons are improved, particle effects are better, with improved lighting. Harris, John (September 26, 2007). "Game Design Essentials: 20 Open World Games". Gamasutra.

Retrieved May 21, 2014.You've got to give credit where it's due - against all expectations, the new remaster of Saints Row The Third isn't just good, it's very special indeed. After the disappointment of the Switch conversion, PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One users get the deluxe treatment: there's carefully updated, more detail-rich artwork, a totally revamped lighting model, a switch to physically-based rendering, temporal anti-aliasing/upscaling and a profound improvement in performance. If you're gaming on Xbox One X, much of the game can even play out at 60 frames per second. Short of a full-on Bluepoint-style remake, you aren't going to get much better than this.
