One thing I'm not impressed with- the instruction manual. When you poke into the options it shows digital manual is available, but when selecting it you're told to go to THQ's web site. Was disk space on the blu-ray really so tight they couldn't include it?

I tried to check it out last night Onlive. After an update that took twenty minutes (its been a few months since I turned the thing on) I got some UDP firewall error message or some shit.
Reviews indicate this game is great, but short - ridiculously so for an open world game (like, in the range of 12 hours for the main story, and including all the side activities only bumps it to 20) - and that it reaks of content being withheld to be sold as DLC (right down to the otherwise baffling omission of popular activities like Fuzz and street races). Can anyone confirm or refute that at this point? Because if it's true, it takes this from potential goty to shame of the year. :(
You're saying short, I'm hearing "not bloated". I don't mind at all if it's 20 hours, especially seeing as I'm liable to add an extra 10 on top due to just screwing about. So long as they're good hours, I'll have gotten my money's worth.

So apparently PS3 owners that redeem their online pass for this game in the next 90 days get a free download of Saints Row 2.
I played through the point where you can actually drive around and shit. Playing it onlive just makes me want it on a "real" system. Maybe I will get the ps3 version and take advantage of the free SR2 deal. Never played it.
That's how I feel about games these days.Quote:

SR2 was like 40 hours of awesome at least. SR3 being 20 hours of awesome is a step back no matter how you frame it.Quote:
