Your character dies at the ending of SR1, which does pave the way for SR2, but in such a way as to not interfere with a new player getting in on a Saints Row game for the first time. On the other hand, Mass Effect is very plot-driven, and I highly doubt the story is going to be as forgiving as the story arc from Saints Row 1 to Saints Row 2. It's like putting someone in the middle of The Empire Strikes back, and thinking they're going to already understand the whole idea of the Star Wars series vs. having them thrown in on a Friday the 13th sequel. Big difference. |
This. I went to a couple Gamestops and they said the game - SR2 - wasn't selling and even returned because folks just didn't get it. You really needed to play the first Saints Row to understand what really went down. I even got an Achievement for tracking down Julius from the first game. You wouldn't even know what he was all about by just playing SR2.
