I've been wanting to ask this for a long time. What other games do Saints Row modders enjoy playing besides Saints Row? What are games that you feel are truly exceptional?
My favorite styles of games are graphically realistic and atmospheric.
I'll start with my favorite open world games:
Sleeping Dogs (Definitive Edition)
I listed this first because I just finished the campaign, and it's really an awesome game! As far as open world games go, this is definitely at the top of my list. The story is top-notch and the missions are varied. The open world is huge and very realistic. I've been to Hong Kong, and this is really what it looks like. The bots are varied and realistic. Highly recommended!
Mafia II
Another incredible game with an amazingly good story. Again, this one has an amazingly detailed open world, and really life-like NPCs. They even park their car, get out, buy a newspaper, get in the car, and drive away. And they react to dead bodies lying on the street. The weather effects are the best I've seen in any game. Highly recommended!
Mafia
Although the technology is quite dated now, the story and the playability is extremely good. And you can ride the train and the streetcars!
And now some non-open world games:
Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light
I love atmospheric games, and these games are incredible.
Hard Reset
This is a pretty basic shooter full of robot baddies, but its retro futuristic atmosphere and continuous rain at night will remind you of the original Bladerunner.
Portal 2
Everyone loves this game, including me!
Console Games with map editors and offline LAN co-op:
Halo Series
I love the whole Halo series up to Halo 4. But I think Halo Reach and Halo 4's Forge mode is what got me interested in video game design and modding to begin with.
Far Cry 2
Another game with an awesome built-in map editor. This is the best console map editor I've found.
Timesplitters and Timesplitters 2
This was the first game I played that had a great map editor.
And, last but not least,
Call of Duty Series
Yes, all of them. Mainly because they all have beautiful realistic graphics and offline LAN multiplayer, so I can play at home with my family.
