disi: I checked the mount and blade demo, looks very good and something to keep in mind.
akhliber: If you can wait until tomorrow, Divinity: Original Sin will be available on GOG, and it's freaking awesome.
disi: Divinity it is for now, funny I have a day off today :)
While waiting, I tested Saint Row and it is just fun...

We robbed a place and stole the vault with a helicopter.

So much detail and your gang members sing to the music in the radio. The dialogues are funny as hell.
Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV are both outstanding in my opinion. Great humor (though certainly not highbrow), memorable characters and really fun gameplay.
If you want another great open world game set in modern times check out Sleeping Dogs. Graphically it's beautiful, it has a very strong story with well written characters, and while it's more serious compared to the Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row series, it does have humor. The gameplay is great too, and is fairly similar (in terms of some mechanics) to the Batman: Arkham series.
