Saints Row thread

they really want to reboot the fans don't they?
get rid of the old fans and bring in new ones so you can do whatever you want with the established lore AND say that the old games are products of their time so whatever anti-woke joke that said older games had is not on their MO anymore.

Yeah, I just saw this.

I mean youd think the marketing tactic would be to mollify the user base of people who are most likely going to purchase your game. But yeah nah just go zoomer tumor outrage marketing I guess

Also glasses fag turning out to be a legitimate self insert is hilarious. If people post videos of her being run over in game is that classified as sexist threats of violence?
She's going to regret her self insert when the sfm fags get ahold of her model :cunningpepe:
 
It's a shame the support crew are self inserts since that guarantees there's no chance of that crew dying in the prologue because they are so out of their depth with how serious the criminal element is, which would leave Nu-Boss crawling from the ashes with a revenge plan in motion to retake this city and kill every single one of those fuckers. At least that would feel more like the original Saints Row.
Nothing is sacred. How many of these people actually worked on the OG Saints Row? I feel like everyone shown up are probably diversity hires during Volition's death throes.
 
The FBS joke is almost clever considering it's a reference to when KFC changed their name to KFC to avoid having the word "fried" in their name.
The FBS and Jim Robs stuff would be funny if they were mocking the oversensitivity of the Twitter nation; making statements about how Jim Robs turned to shit with the new management and the new Freckle Bitches mascot does not make you jones for a burger. but since the people behind this game are oversensitive faggots themselves that is never gonna be the case.

I'm also aware I'm skirting the line of hypocrisy here with my bitching, but damn it at least I'm aware of it.
 
i honestly think she's going to use that to throw in "muh patriarchy" talk for wokepoints.

fuck is this a 4d chess move to set her up for opression bucks for life

in other news gaymes journofags are enjoying the free outrage clicks and are desperately shoving out garbage for their piece of the pie

(in reference to the saints team) "...Frankly, they’ve been pushed to their limits. There’s not much more room to play around with them bar complete rewrites of their characters, which basically already happened between Saints Row 2 and 3 anyway. "

"it’s crucial that Saints Row proves itself as more than a series of icons doing silly things in lavish purple outfits with a reliance on past glories. Volition can push the series to its limits here, exploring what Saints Row can be when it doesn’t have the weight of fan-favorites cuffed to its ankle."

"They make up a trinity of really lovable characters regardless of how irredeemably terrible they are."

"it was formulaic. From Saints Row 2 onward, this formula boiled down to putting this trio into wacky new scenarios and seeing how they would handle the most outlandish of situations. The pseudo-sequel spin-off, Gat out of Hell, cut the formula down to the most basic elements and it felt that the current Saints had run their course. "

"That self-inflicted competition lost what made Saints Row charming. Granted, given the lack of new GTA content, I’d love for Saints Row to return to its roots and explore down-to-earth, tight-knit stories like our relationship with Carlos"

"With so many dead, in hiding, or turning on the gang to the police, there was little left for 2 barring new blood and Gat. Gat became Saints Row, but in sticking so close to him, the series lost its identity. By ditching the icons and ushering in new characters, Volition has a chance to capture Saints Row’s essence while bringing something brand new to the table."

Tldr; the old characters from saints row have been explored enough and are tired, Volition is 'cuffing themselves' by the ankle by endlessly basing their stories around these characters and its a good thing they're trying something new; also the old characters are iredeemably terrible lol

i bet some are from ubisoft too since some jumped ship after that allegations, just like blizzard, the cancer goes into metastasis into a incestuous industry.
This caused me physical pain to read.
heh

If it's true gangbangers are nothing but hipsters now that care about fashion and preening themselves... fuck, that makes the police even bigger pussies for not clearing them out.
 

A modern day Saints Row “reboot” will never make a mission as good as this. Benjamin King would never get reduced to something like the new characters shown in the recent new trailer.

If anything, Benjamin would be looked as an enemy because he never apologized, or coerced his way to being on the top. He was the best anti-hero next to Gat.

At worst, he’d get called a sellout for working with the Playa.
 
How the hell did Jack Thompson style political correctness win out in the end? Seriously, how did we wind up here?

Once upon a time every single person who touched a game controller, no matter how left wing they were, thought Thompson was a douchebag, how did we wind up in such a bizarro world today?

I once got so much shit from people online for calling Anita Sarkeesian "Jack Thompson with lipstick and hoop earrings" but I was exactly right.

Look, I get that some people reacted to Anita in a way that was creepy and not really defensible, but boy fucking howdy has the pendulum swung too far in the opposite direction.

They said that the reboot would be more "serious in tone" and "less whacky", completely forgetting that SR1 and SR2 does the same shit, rewatching the videos from both i saw that it has some real "dark" moments on them, especially 2 since the boss becomes more psychotic.
I've seen Abby Lewds from tlou2
If someone's horny enough for that, you'll probably get your wish :story:
eww, you saw Abby handholding, yous a degenerate!

Does the fact that entertainment media, as a whole, is trying to go away from people actually enjoying them, and instead trying to force feed morality lessons, by killing off or shoving old, beloved characters aside, to push for new and unlikeable ones? It's as if the entire media world is trying to kill itself off on purpose.
 
Everything is turning into this weird, homogeneous, flavorless soup where everything must be safe for everybody to consume. There are fewer and fewer flavors now and the ones left are becoming bland as well.
Maybe this is just what it's like to get old (:_(

The subreddit is pure fucking cope at this point, and having seen the original reaction to the reboot trailer there, my theory is that a bunch of ancom faggots filtered in from other subs because they heard their aid was needed to combat the "incel Nazi chuds" in the Saints Row sub. Predictably none of them will buy the game or play it, but they'll defend it because "people I don't like don't like it" and on goes the culture war.

Also: has anyone else noticed how just about every female character in games now has to have problem glasses and a giant fucking nose? What's the deal with that? Self-insert or what?
