The Killbane mask thing is hilarious; I was wondering how that would play out if you actually took his mask -- I went with the Apocafist option, which is one of the few weapons I thought was amazingly awesome, but yea you can chalk this one up to the writers not doing a great job and the game probably being rushed.
The Gangstas In Space ending I'm almost positive isn't canon -- the counter reads 45 of 47 missions completed and the game even gives you an option to replay the last mission, which features the last two story based missions. So yea, just write this off as it not being the real ending. The other ending actually has hints towards the next Saints Row game, which leads to another question which is really minor spoilers if you haven't played it.
In the second ending, they talk about Pierce becoming the mayor... but, um, aren't they on good terms with Burt Reynolds?? Again, shitty writing, I was left scratching my head on that one.
What I want to know is you do a mission to evacuate your crew from Saints HQ because STAG is attacking it, correct? Why do you need to KEEP GOING THERE TO GET MISSIONS??? And Pierce and Olag are just hanging out inside of it?? That made zero sense to me.
And yea, for its "over the top" craziness it was supposed to provide, Matt Miller just
ing walks away? Viola joins the Saints? Killbane does get whats coming to him when you go with the real ending but that Matt Miller thing was the
ing worst. Expect him to show up as DLC or some nonsense. None of the gangs were fleshed out at all like previous games... the fact that their vehicles are all palette swaps was a shame too.
Also, where the hell is Dex? He gets away in the Saints Row 2 DLC and they say they are going to track him down no matter what... but now they have seemingly forgotten he exists. If you're going to keep the same plots going through all three games, be consistent.
I'm sitting the next Volition game out -- after making Saints Row 2 and Red Faction: Guerrilla, both games I thought were amazing, Saints Row 3 and the new RF kind of sucked imo so who knows what to expect from this company anymore.
