1. DLC from the disk which has to be unlocked after paying a fee(Only money thirsty devs do this)
2. Amount of forced missions (Saints row 2 had a skip tutorial function, Saints row 3 has 3 forced missions at the beginning and countless amounts of forced activitites which have no part in the story)
3. Clumsy AI(From most activities and missions)
4. Poorly designed new activities which is either recycled or requires AI to be smart, which is almost never.
5. Crappy, unfunny sex jokes
6. Poorly designed wanted system (Doesn't tell you which gang is after you, how to lose them, how near you are to each star)
7. Gangs never piss off(Even if you take over the damn place)
8. No option to turn off annoying tutorial popups
9. Limited car customization(No decals)
10. Large amount of cars that can't be customized(Unless you use an exploit or mods)
11. No boat, helicopter and plane customization
12. Overpriced, poorly designed DLC(Invincibility and penthouse in particular)
13. Annoying forced homies in missions(Can't dismiss them and you fail everytime they die or are abandoned)
14. Only 29 proper missions(Even GTA4 had 80 something)
15. Crap endings(Killing a shamed luchador boss or saving a couple of annoying NPC's)
16. RPG-styled upgrades(For all those idiot kids, this is a SANDBOX game, not a RPG game)
17. No fun minigames(only those poorly designed activities)
18. Boring free-roam(Like I mentioned in point number 20)
19. Smaller city(Steelport is miniscule compared to stilwater)
20. No air or water traffic(Air and water are completely barren)
21. Little interiors(If you exclude cribs and places that can't be entered without hacks/exploits, no more than 5.)
22. No crib customization(Saints row 2 had it, why not this?)
23. Limited gameplay, all you do is either move, drive, shoot, fly, perform testicular assaults, destroy stuff or hold the action button.
24. Poorly designed missions(Most, if not all require you to protect your b*tchy NPC allies)
25. Small amount of weapons(Saints row 3 has 29 Non DLC weapons, Saints row 2 had 47 Non DLC weapons)
26. Less stores(No food, drink, music, semi broken, jewelry and many other clothing shops)
27. Almost everyone I play with in coop has cheats and no viewer pack(As a non-cheater, this always rustle my jimmies)
28. Can't force someone to revert to non cheat save while playing co-op(The people I play with are mostly don't understand how to use a non cheat save)
29. Poorly designed matchmaking(Even rockstar can quarantine cheaters to match up with cheaters only, why the hell can't volition do it?)
30. Whored mode is boring(Feels like something volition added in the last 5 minutes of the game so they think it's worth the price of this poorly designed game)
31. Johnny Gat dies(The only decent character left in this game)
32. Poorly designed new characters(They're either all generic sterotypes or wimps)
33. Very little characters from previous games and the ones returning in this game are completely different from the last one(Just you, shaundi, pierce, Johnny gat and jane valderama)
Edit:
34. Poorly done running, walking and driving animations(You bob your head when you walk and you lean forward and swing your arms in some strange way while running, and you put 1 hand on top of the steering wheel like a typical douchebag.)
35. The exaggeration on how this game is going to be SUPER AWESOME when it's not.(I once heard from an early gameplay video a dev said it's "entirely not scripted" I love to see the look on his face when he sees the amount of scripts there are)
36. Half a**ed dual wielding animations(SMG and pistols share dual wielding animation, and there's a fire rate cap while standing still and dual wielding a SMG fires 2 bullets at once instead of 1 at a time to increase rate of fire wheras the pistol is the opposite)
37. No fun non-DLC weapons(No revolver, sawn off shotgun and many others)
38. No proper multiplayer and splitscreen(I would understand why there's no 8 player multiplayer one, but no splitscreen?)
39. Only 1 control scheme which is poorly designed and can't be edited(Weapon wheel is navigated with the left stick, which is used for movement, so you have to sit like a duck when you pick out your weapons)
40. Un-realistic/cartoony-ness ness of the new cars
41. Only 3 boats and aeroplanes(Previous game had at least 7)
42. Poorly designed tattoos that are uneditable(Less tattoos than saints row 2, and you can't manually place it unlike most modern games)
43. Glitchy DLC that hasn't been fixed and never will(Steelport gangs-decker specialist outfit is completely messed up, Money shot-There's a gap under your neck that can be seen right through and glitchy holster)
44. Glitches that's posted everywhere in the forum and the devs don't give a flying rat's a** about it(The troubleshooting forum)
45. How saints row 3 feels like a crappy spinoff of saints row 2(Saints row 3 is just a mere shadow of saints row 2)
46. Extreme linearity of the story
47. Annoying survival calls that can't be disabled and the noobs always answering it when I'm playing co-op with them
48. How volition's target audience for this game was for 6 year olds(Sex jokes, the fact how people think punching someone in the groin is funny, the immaturity of the characters, how everything was dummed down so much it gives people acrophobia and many more)
49. No proper tutorial(The popups are more annoying than helpful)
50. Proper vehicles from saints row 2 are scrapped and replaced with the cars mentioned in reason number 40
51. Shared wanted level in co-op(While customizing my car I come out to find out I've got max wanted level)
52. Poorly designed co-op (Your buddy doesn't show up in cutscenes, and reasons 27, 28, 47 and 51)
53. How the saints become corporate whores instead of a gang
54. Chore-like challenges(Do this X amount of times)
