I'll get it eventually when it goes down in price, beat the first two and enjoyed them. Skyrim and BF3 will eat up a lot of my gaming time for the rest of the year though so I'm in no rush.

I decided to get it. I have loved all the Saints Row games so far and this one looks like it will be much more fun.

After the utter mess that was Saints Row 2 on the PC, no thank you. Yes I am well aware that the developer has said "we are doing the PC version in house and it will be better", but then they would say that wouldn't they. I will wait for reviews and maybe pick it up at a steam sale at a later date.

There is a lot of win here:

Outside the main game, Saints Row: The Third has Whored mode. This pits you (and possibly a partner) against waves of enemies, but while plenty of games have similar "horde" modes, this one has a distinct Saints Row flavor. One wave may give you a chainsaw with which to defeat a flood of zombies, another may give you a minigun with which to take down a massive energy-drink mascot, and another may require you to fend off attacking gimps while armed with nothing but a purple d*ldo bat.

I'm fairly interested in it, but I'm worried about how the PC port will be. :(

I pre ordered it. In a world with samey, dreary sequels, I feel the need to support this game. Also I loved SR 2 despite the technical flaws. I also heard THQ isn't doing so hot this year, and imo they are a great publisher compared to the alternatives, so I want to support them.

i was the other naysayer about this - i finally caved. all of the reviews mentioned that the PC version essentially runs great, so i cancelled my 360 preorder and flipped it to PC.

I admire your skepticism, but you're a little misguided. Red Faction 4: Armageddon was Volition Inc.'s first return to doing in-house PC versions and it seems to be the most well optimized PC version for a multiplatform game in the past 7 years while also delivering significantly improved visuals and physics simulation for the PC version. Reviewers that have received the PC version have already stated that it's by far the best on PC so there's no reason to be clinging on to unwarranted cynicism.

IS is being a pain in my a**. My account that was created in it doesn't exist yet at the same time it does, so I can't upload any of my characters. Hopefully I can re-link my account in the actual game.

Have had it preordered since October :). HOWEVER, THQ.com apparently sucks at deliveries, so I honestly have no idea when my game will arrive. They've said Canadian residents might have to account for customs delays, and on top of that, the UPS tracking system isn't working.

Tomorrow was supposed to be my most anticipated day of 2011, but I'll just have to keep checking my mailbox.

Thats the problem, it doesn't actual exist according the THQ websites. This only happens if you create a THQ account within IS. Im pretty sure that if you already have a THQ account before using IS, you will have no problem.

I made an account at the Saints Row site, the problem is that my Steam account is linked to my other account that doesn't exist but does exist. And there is no way to unlink it.

I should mention that the account I made at the Saints Row site, is EXACTLY the same as the one I made in IS (username, pw etc)

I can not wait to get this, it looks great. Even though they said they are developing the PC version properly I can't help but be cautious. I wasn't going to get this day one anyway so by the time I get it there should be some reviews out for PC.

Quick man, can you tell me if co-op is easy to join/create games? I was swearing at my comp for Saints Row 2 because it would not allow us to join each others' games (effin' Gamespy server browser, man). Got it sorted out after a few hours of searching for help.

I hear you, bro. Death Tag in SR2 was a few hours of crazy laughs, and I thought I heard in a preview it's making a return in 3?
