I finished Saints Row: The Third earlier this evening!
The credits are twenty minutes long!
Practically every voice actor in America is in it! (Seriously, they list everyone who did a pedestrian's voice in the voice acting part of the credits, and I knew most of the names - but not all - and it included the six VAs who provide the Boss' voice. But I think that's cool. One of the things I really like about this game is how the city feels, and the fact that all these VAs added their voices just adds to that. Rather than, say, the last time I played Skyrim and I kept running into NPCs voiced by Gideon Emery. I'm not even joking, I had a whole afternoon of that a couple of months ago).
(Not that there's anything wrong with Gideon Emery's voice - there categorically isn't - just that he's very distinctive sounding*, and so very easy to pick out).
Anyway, it's an okay game, in spite of some stuff I wish wasn't in it (e.g. male gaze, gendered insults), but the rest of it is fun. Now I need to buy the sequel because it sounds ludicrous.
I think I'm going to try playing Assassin's Creed next. I don't know if I'll like it or not. I hope I will, because there are Tropes What I Like™ in it, and I adore the soundtrack. So. I'm just not good at sneaking, so this could all go horribly wrong. I guess we'll have to wait and see!

*Except for when he's being a Turian, or American, and then I fail to recognise him completely, but there we go.
