Saints Row thread

Looks up the mission title names:

'The Fast & The Foodiest'

Ok. That's me done.

Oh fantastic, foodies are in the game. What other millennial cliches are gonna be shoehorned into this embarrassment?

Me upon seeing the Saints Row Reboot

 

[TVB]

I wish Saints Row was handled by a better dev team so we never had to see this bullshit ever.

 

[blablabla]

i hope volition release the sr2 patch and then they go out of business

Volition is owned by Embracer Group which is about to be aqcuired in a minor stake by Saudi Arabs, so who knows, Volition would be rebranded as its owner, Deep Silver, once all that said is done.

Same, & I actually liked Fast & Furious.

So it seems the story is partially an account of previous events up to a certain point. Hmm

Most of the game being a flash back is pretty terrible story writing, not gonna lie.

 

[Mega Black]

How bad/cringe do you think this game’s version of SR3/4’s “singing along to a song on the radio with Pierce” is gonna be?

Apparently there's a trophy for singing karaoke with your friends, so since the extended cast is universally fucking awful I expect maximum cringe.

They've already buried it and I guarantee this will never see the light of day. If the reboot flops they'll throw up their hands and abandon it as a final 'fuck you' to the fans of 2, the game that everyone left at Volition fucking hates with a passion, and if it miraculously sells well they'll just let it be quietly buried.

You just know there's going to be a joke about avocado toast in there.

Makes as much sense as Shark Tale's usage of fish puns. But at least Shark Tale is memorable (in a so-bad-its-good-way) while shit like Saints Row is lazy.

This guy had uploaded much of the story a couple of days ago, but Volition struck him down. Part 1 if he reuploads, contains the cold open where NuBoss is being buried alive after a large party at their headquarters get raided, then the caption "three months earlier" starts off the game with the footage we seen. He has part 8 up right now delisted, check his twitter page for the playlist.

That’s considered a ”cold open”?

Try to compare that intro to these openings and see which one still holds up for you:

The whole “buried alive” thing only seems legitimate if the anti-hero character seems captivating and ruthless as a point of intrigue. Pretty odd to have that in a game like this where the storyline just does not seem intriguing enough to immerse yourself in, while actually playing it.

Man, any opening from the OG run is x1000 way better than the reboot one.

So ive been playing the Saints Row 3 Remaster, and everything and everyone does look better... Except the Boss himself.

Is it me or no matter how much you tweak your boss, he comes out looking fucking ghoulish in cutscenes? The eyes look dead and lifeless, head is relatively bigger compared to the body... Picking any caucasian skin just makes your boss look either sickly pale or sunburnt... Haven't tried any other skin colors or making the Boss female so maybe those have it better but as dumb a nitpick as this is, it's offputting enough to make me not wanna play it anymore.

Playing this after finishing SR4 just makes it look worse, too. I was able to create the character i wanted back there, and he looked decent enough

I never played the "remaster", but the one thing I can see from the videos and screenshots is that they made Gat look so fucking weird compared to what he looked like in the original game, IV or even GOH.

That's just SR3 cutscenes in a nutshell. Nobody's character looks normal in them, I'd assume it's part of the growing pains with making the new game. Since SR4 is essentially a bigass DLC they had enough practice to get it right.

 

[TVB]

I don't think I'd ever played the remastered versions of SR3 (or any of them in the series lol).

There's some bug with the age slider. See le reddit thread.
Remaster designs are very hit and miss, Shaundi and Viola got cuter but that black STAG chick fully transitioned into a dude.

 

[TVB]

I might check out the remasters.

lmao, 16 seconds in they show the start of the burial, though it looks different, the cutscene I watched seemed a bit more cinematic. During the party you choose what the MC looks like when he/she/zir/xem/zoog approaches the mirror after getting changed into clothing that looked like what a fancy horse jockey would wear, then the church gets attacked, the MC gets thrown into a hole and dirt gets thrown on they/them and a cinematic shot slowly pans out from a mound of dirt and that's it from what I recall. Deep Silver REALLY want to keep this game of the year under wraps. Probably going to be saved by Neenah or Pansexual Shirtless Kevin who dated a man and a woman named "Teddy."
