Seriously, it really did. The cutscenes were damn fun and good stuff. I'm sure SR3 shall deliver!t0yrobo wrote:I've had more fun with SR2 than any other game this gen. My only worry with 3 is that they might give you too much power from the start, but I'm sure they have some sort of arc worked out. I barely hear it mentioned, but besides being crazy over the top fun, SR2 also has very good writing. I really hope they keep that up.
Hopefully there is a curve in terms of power though, I agree. I can say though, I think one thing that made SR2 so much better than the first game was the beginning and the pacing. In the first game you're this no-name thug just being bitched around by these other guys for the most of the whole game, but in SR2... you escape from prison, reunite with some friends, and it's time for YOU to rebuild that reputation and gang back up. That right there was seriously pretty satisfying and I think helped pull me into SR2 a lot faster than the first game... and well, SR2 finally came into its own and had character, which the first game kind of lacked.
Hopefully that sense of power and good pacing is back in SR3, but yeah. Still needs some balance. It's a new city though, so hopefully there's some good new competition and things like that.
