What do you think of SR4?
I finished 3rd with about 25 hours total playing time, which was 10 hours less than I finished 4. Weirdly enough it felt like I traveled less across the game world than in 4 and also spent more time in on-rails sitting-in-a-helicopter missions where half of the time was spent just watching the game world scroll by. It's odd because you would think with the superpowers in 4 that it would make the game overall much shorter but nope. I played a few car stealing and assassination side missions in Third after the story, but I'm not sure I'm going to want to go for 100%. It's very hard to play this game having played 4 - seeing a spot on the map that I need to get to, and just wanting to jump to the top of the building to have a better look.

I like a lot of SR4, but the city itself feels sorta empty. Like I'm the only dude there, but maybe because I haven't progressed enough thru the story yet. However, the ability to just say eff the story and start buzzing thru side-missions to level up my superpowers is great. I enjoy games that let you grind to your hearts content, and where the actual grinding process isn't deplorable.
Even tho you don't really drive anymore, I did enjoy the unlocks from the car-jacking missions. The fact that the custom models were pretty much "Yeah, we're going to load as much Tron-shit into here as we can" was awesome. It makes me want to play a cyberpunk openworld GTA/SR type game. GTA 2040 or something.
All the fanservice indulgence with the weapons and costumes is stellar. "Fuck it, we'll put phasers and han solo's blaster in here and fuggin' pulse rifles. Why not"

The Singularity Gun is probably the coolest gun I've ever seen in any 3d game. Shoot it at an intersection and it sucks up people, cars, streetlights, etc. The best thing is when cars come flying in from around the corner.
Super-powered Insurance Fraud is just....ah, I'm having trouble describing how fun and bizarre it is. Something like that will exist in the future with VR and we'll be able to indulge in similar Matrix-style absurdist rollercoasters.

two years pass...
been playing SR IV lately & it's very fun & stupid. skipped III but loved II, maybe I'll need to go back and play III afterward?
my latina protagonist can jump over skyscrapers and creates tornados when she runs and WTF was that mission with the giant energy drink named Paul? I don't really know what's going on in this game but it's super fun
