Saints Row thread

[Cod of War]

Seriously, what the fuck is the obsession with waffles in the game?!

A retarded in-joke? ACG mentioned Kevin's waffle tattoo on this chest but looking closer ALL of his tattoos are waffle related.

 

[The Last Stand]

Yeah, you can tell a middle-aged liberal White woman wrote this. The constant swearing, random-access humor, social media quirks, cheesy one-liners, "punching UP" humor, it's all dreadful to witness. Hell, who starts a game with "struggling to get up" and having breakfast?

TOTALLY RELATABLE, AMIRIGHT FOLXS!

Those damn dirty incels! Why can't those losers lovingly consoom our games?!

I'm so tired of this exact same fucking cycle happening over and over. A company ruins their IP by shoving in political garbage, it sells poorly and gets mocked, journalists come in to do damage control by screaming about Nazi's and incels and finally it fades into obscurity having ruined the reputation of the IP. We've seen this same thing happen 30+ times since 2016 and no one ever learns. Nothing ever changes.

And nobody will play it after the first month. They'll move on to something else.

Oh my god, I fucking despise this prick. What kind of soulless bastard to you have to be to get tattoos that are nothing but food?

For god's sake, not even that Nick Avocado tool would do something like that, what the fuck is wrong with Volition?!

 

[Pissmaster]

You know when you hate being right? Well, nearly everyone was.

Feels like this game tries to be a mixture of 2 and 3 in the worst way possible. Its not enough over the top but not grounded enough either, so both fans of both sides of the franchise just reject this altogether.

Well, thats it, Volation is out. Gone. Dead. They already were on the borders of bankrupcy but now that its clear this game is a finantial bomb, they might as well pack up and leave the premises of the building.



You know what, I take it back. I miss the aliens, super heroes and demon shit from Saints Row 4 already.

Man,Volation is just so dead in the water if they were putting all of their faith in this reboot saving it.

They haven't put out anything I've deemed worthwhile in over a decade now, anyway. I'm not gonna hate on people who liked SR4 or Gat out of Hell, but those two are firmly in the "not for me" category. Agents of Mayhem looked like the blandest trash in the world, so I never tried it, even when it dropped to a dollar. Red Faction Armageddon got bad reviews when it was new, so I didn't try that either. That leaves their newest game I personally enjoyed (but won't replay again) to be SR3, from way back in 2011.

Shit, man, Red Faction Armageddon was over a decade ago now. The rot was already setting in waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back then.

Yeah really, dude. It's very depressing. At least I get to kick the shit out of it with you guys rather than getting screeched at for being a bigot for criticizing it at all elsewhere. Though it is a whitepill that this trash seems to be getting universally panned.

I really hope The Gamer will publish an article like that.

I saw this, and now you fuckers have to see this too.

This what happens when you hire AWFL's (Affluent White Female Liberals) to write for your video game.

This shitty game gets released yet a game like This Is Vegas will never see the light of day

Fuck this Earth.

Skill Up made a great point with its world being at odds with its character customization.

You can create anybody you want. Even some old ass man or woman (@Pissmaster, you pipe down). Forget the fact that you'd utter about student loans, why the god damn is some old ass dude or chick hanging out with pampered college millenials?

My immersion would immediately be thrown out the window. You thought WD2 had ludonarrative dissonance; this game has it worse from its first cutscene.

 

[Anachronistic]

Unfortunately it is fake and a bait post from /v/. Not even the woke would be stupid enough to do this.

The fact that the industry has fucked itself so hard that the joke was almost believable is a scary enough thought.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were considering it.

The lead writer is a wine aunt. You should always expect a scene about food and/or drinks when it's written by a woman in [current year].

 

[Headshotmaster138]

This new "Saints Row" is nothing but cringe, garden variety Millennials eating memberberries trying to market to Gen Z, failing horribly. Gen Z in large embrace a gritty and emotional late 90's/Y2K aesthetic and they want their games to reflect the golden age of video games (1996-2012). The loud retard enbies in Gen Z are not who you want to market to, it's the silent majority of action, fantasy, and RPG lovers.

"OH kids love cats, remember nyan cat? Omg lyke helmets, fortnite, social justice, and friendship! LMFAO totz random." As a Zillenial caught between two worlds, they dropped the ball for both age groups to be marketed to. This is a crusty Millennial circle jerk. There are no tough Saints. The boss is a Mary Sue. There is no gang hierarchy of notable footsoldiers, lieutenants, leaders, branching cliques. The gang is cringe and so are the enemies. Gen Z wants RPGs and the action we grew up with back, not pandering. The devs were laid off in 2017 and replaced with a diversity committee.



Ever since Gamergate 2014, the game journos have tried to hijack the narrative and lie to the public about the filthy Western industry corruption and cover up stagnation with muh misogyny and altright conspiracy. Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z all have their share of loud, nonsensical tards and those of us left with sense need to keep hitting them where it hurts, in the wallet. Jim Boone, Emil Pagliarulo, Wu, Patrick Weekes, and most of Activision, EA, Blizzard, Square Enix, Dontnod, Deep Silver, MiHoYo, Epic Games... We need to set a good example for Gen Alpha to have good games. No wonder emulators are so popular these days! Saints Row will flop and still get Kotaku and Polygon asspats.

Zoomers like the late 90s and 00s? Guess this can apply to zoomers who were born in the late 90s like us but the 2000s babies are just PC little shits from my knowledge.

Either it's a fetish or a coping mechanism.

I feel sick just listening to it. Hiring VAs who can't sing then have them sing is incompetence.

Nigger this is karaoke done the right way

Contrast with Kiryu and Majima's VAs who are actual singers. Hearing them singing is a legitimate treat because they have the vocal range to hit those notes. The SR VAs were probably just told "Sing Love Shack together and we'll fix it in post." Remember, the lead writer is also a VA director, so she thought this would be funny.

Kiryu's VA is the actual singer. Not Majima VA's.
But yeah, they're actually good. Unlike this shit.
Well, this is how we do it against this joke of a game: dancing
