Saints Row thread

Is it confirmed that we can't even make purple Shreks in this edition?

Idk if 3 deserve to be compared to this, idk 3 despite it's flaws had action and something resembling humor instead of this bland, soulless boring thing

Too bad the story is not about these failures, though pain and experience, ending up being real gangsters. It would not fix everything but that would be at least SOMETHING and they can not even do that! FUCK!

I actually really like SR3 despite the tonal shift due to it being stable, smooth, and fun to play. I'm just pointing out that this game feels like 4 did; a far worse version of a game that came before it.

At this point, nothing such as a good remake/remaster really exists anymore, apart from a few gems.

The only time you see good remakes nowadays is with Japanese studios, such as Capcom's Resident Evil remakes or Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's Yakuza Kiwami remakes. Remasters are always lackluster due to being just slight touchups of what was already made.

If anything SR shouldn't need to really pander as it already has. You literally undergo plastic surgery to wake up from a boat explosion as your chosen gender. You were a hulking male, now you're whatever you want to be, at the cheap cost of $500 or however much the plastic surgery places cost.

The fact they removed the cockney voice broke my heart. There's also no joke voice option (unless you count the extremely southern woman voice) which is also majorly disappointing. I really don't like any of the boss's voices this time around, with number 7 being my go-to as he's just some straight white dude's voice. I was really hoping for a good selection of voices, but it's not even as good as IV's voice customization: IIRC from that newer customization demo they release you can't even edit the pitch and tone which I'm pretty sure you could do in IV, it just sounded like shit. Every time they show more of this game it feels more and more like "Life is Strange: GTA Edition" as opposed to "Saint's Row". I just really hope they don't have a troon like Far Cry 6 had. In that one I'm pretty sure you end up helping some troon who got misgendered by the military.

Far Cry 6 had. In that one I'm pretty sure you end up helping some troon who got misgendered by the military.

There's a scene where the girlfriend of the troon murders a woman on live TV for misgendering if I remember right and it's treated like a huge fucking deal lmfao

 

[Zaryiu2]

How the fuck do this many retarded writers and devs worm their way into these companies? Is it the diversity quotas? I don't understand why they'd think it was a good idea to come out with such a moronicly bad game when they (hopefully should) know they're going to be fucked if this flops, and this is guaranteed to be liked by no one but retards on twitter who won't even play it or the most normie of normalfags who'll buy any trash triple A game. When they eventually do the layoffs, I imagine the smug faggot running the Twitter account will be one of the first to go, this shit is embarrassing.

If it's anything like Marvel Comics division it's because the writers will accept being payed peanuts to br able to force their stupid opinions into the product

 

[blablabla]

fuck me and i was enjoying f6. can you skip the tranny?

I'd say that for video games in general, that Japanese studios & Indie devs make the most fun stuff nowadays. That said, R3MAKE felt shit in multiple aspects.

Saints Row is another franchise that has a horrifying identity crisis. While it started as a GTA clone, the second game is where it became more comedic and over-the-top (especially when comparing to any of the GTA games), then the third and fourth game became way too over-the-top with ideas. I can see why people can compare either Saints Row the Third or IV to something like Son of the Mask.

 

[Headshotmaster138]

It will flop for sure, but there's never gonna be a reboot because by that point, the franchise is sadly dead. As I said before, the 2000s was the final great decade, and nothing will ever top it. We will never ever recreate such a decade like it.

Sadly you're right. The 2000s was the last decade to have Anti-PC goodies until the 2010 came up and ruined it.

 

[Headshotmaster138]

90s was great too. A nice set up for the 00s.

Well to be fair, I always hear some people say the 00s was the continuation of the 90s.

 

[TVB]

Sadly you're right. The 2000s was the last decade to have Anti-PC goodies until the 2010 came up and ruined it.

While the 2000s may be considered the first decade to kickstart the 21st century, it was actually, at least to me, the last decade of the 20th century with 2010 being its leftover as 2011 was when it fully started the 21st century and when things started to go downhill.

I've actually played a bit of Far Cry 6 lately, and I'm not really surprised they'd do that. It's as gauche as it gets, with like every other sentence using the word "fuck" and the characters randomly throwing in Spanish words that the subtitles translate on an if-I-feel-like-it basis.

It also turns my computer into a space heater more than any other game

It seems they did that shit out of spite since Far Cry 5 was criticized for "making rural people seem like good people" according to game journalist back in 2018.

its such a weird scene. youve been murdering people non stop for hours at this point but for some reason the mc acts like this one is a step too far. its hilarious how ubisoft is always unintentionally based and in this game they made the dyke and troon look like complete nut jobs.

comments in the video are pretty based for youtube lol

Haven't had a good laugh in a Youtube comment section in a good while now.

Haven't had a good laugh in a Youtube comment section in a good while now.

All of the based comments are funny and the OP + all of the trannies in the comments are so whiny and clearly don't give a fuck about the game or how it presents them, which just proves everyone else right lmao

At this point, nothing such as a good remake/remaster really exists anymore, apart from a few gems.

The only time a remake really works is when the scope/features of the original game were stymied by technical limitations, assuming that the devs and director had a vision that they came close on but couldn't quite execute. The original GTA trilogy was one example of a series that could have theoretically benefited from a remake for that very reason but instead they shunted it off to fucking mobile game dev Hell. An example of remakes that worked: Resident Evil 1-2, those games couldn't quite hit the scope the devs desired at the time, but when they had the chance to finally make it work they did. I don't count RE3 remake because they cut so fucking much out of the remake that it really isn't even the same game.

I liked Saints Row 3 from a gameplay perspective but my problem with it was that the characters all either changed completely or became parodies of themselves, and all of the zany humor and near-future shit didn't really fit in my opinion. Still a good game, it's fun to play and very entertaining, but Saints Row 4 went further in that direction. What we have with this reboot is a game that basically copy-pastes the gameplay but worse, and neuters all of the humor out of the two previous installments. As a result I don't know who the fuck this game is for. It's not for the 1-2 fans because those were more grounded, plus their snarky social media shit has basically told their older fanbase to eat shit if they don't like it, which is a very common [and shitty] marketing strategy unique to 20XX. However, it's also not for the 3-4 fans because all of the humor has been neutered because you can't poke fun at groups or indulge stereotypes anymore in current year. So who is it actually aimed at?

Fortnite zoomers? Maybe, but they don't have a very long attention span, many of them don't like this wokescold "humor" either, and I don't think they'll be interested enough to prop up an entire franchise. We already know Twitter dangerhairs don't buy games that have actual gameplay, they'll buy walking simulators or shit like Life is Strange but anything else is too complex for them. Yet from the promotions, trailers, dialogue, plot and retarded social media PR, we can tell that this game is aimed directly at that demographic that... doesn't buy or play games. They just defend them for 12 hours at a time on Reddit after brigading other subs from GamingCircleJerk, but they don't buy them.

Can you skip the tranny shit in fc6??
