Is it still worth playing?

A bank robbery staged to promote the Saints' own film goes wrong, and the gang, now a media empire, breaks out of the Syndicate's jet over Steelport. It is a 2011 open world game for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, three years after Saints Row 2. Steelport is a new city run by the Syndicate's three gangs, with a paramilitary unit sent in after. The weapons are the joke: the Penetrator, a purple bat of a particular shape, a fart in a jar as a stun grenade. Respect buys upgrades until at level fifty you are immune to bullets, fire and falls, and within hours you can be partying in a penthouse with pink ninja bodyguards. Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax is a game show of a shooting gallery, and two play the story together to one of two endings. It got a Remastered in 2020. Weapons that are jokes still set the tone of every fight.
