They’re gonna care about this longer than anyone else does.
 
I think sometime back Jim Boone confirmed that this game ran on an upgraded version of the AoM engine, so yeah, its true.
That was apparentl almost immediately with the healthbars everywhere.
I doubt they worked on an AoM sequel for very long given it flatlined but they'd obviously want to salvage as much as possible lest all that work goes to waste.
Frankly they should have salvaged more. My wife, the Islamic Ninja had workable melee mechanics in AoM, not good but it didn't feel terrible to hit NotCobra with the sword, while melee in NuSaints feels like complete ass.

tbf even SR4 was doing that as an ironic bit, but it was done with a lighthearted tone and wasnt like battering you over the head with 50s BAD 50s BAD. It was just being absurd and poking fun, I dont think the reboot could do anything like that, building all those assets for one mission and I dont think it could hold its tongue like SRIV did for the sake of fun
SR4 pokes fun at stuff it has reverence for, rather than saying how shit shit HEY ITS SHIT everything is. You never got the impression the writers were genuinely angry.

Hell, even in GOOT their admission about a traditional mission structure not being possible due to budgetary limitations was tweaking the publisher's nose rather than full on screaming about oppressed artists.
 
She kinda threads the line between entertaining and supremely fucking annoying with the basic bitch ass high pitch squeals,
I was watching that video and it was funny up until she started screeching as loud as possible with a fake laugh. Wish she'd tone that down.
does being a leftist just suck the life force out of you?
When your entire life revolves around being cynical, depressed, and everything you produce lacks any kind of genuine spirit or heart, then your outer ugliness reflects your inner ugliness.

No. I went through her twitter and there has been zero reaction from her. A quick scan of her timeline and using twitter advance search shows her last mention of the game was in July pre-launch with some generic shit about how she was going to play the shit out of it.
I thought I found something, but no, it's a tweet about Wolfenstein, of all things. She's replying to someone, right after her own game launched, who was mocking Twitter replies from obvious bait from the Wolfenstein account.... from 2017

I guess someone told her to keep her trap shut about her shitty game. I guess you can't just say "muh nazis bluh bluh bluh" when it's so damn glitchy and horribly written that even the wokest motherfuckers can't defend it.
 
Saints Row is really not being subtle about the Epic Games version. This game really is showing you how much they dislike PC players, even when trying to ease off the heat from console players that didn’t like bugs and shooting glitches in the first place.
you know what's funny? the cracked version uses a steam emulator to run without issues at all.

you assume too much from people that have a crusade against those "evil gamers", if anything she's probably giggling like a schoolgirl for ruining this series, same way as that faggot that kept attacking people for criticizing it lately, SR twitter page is trying it's best to not light a match considering that they are doused in gasoline.

Wolfenstein 2 has an Easter Egg where you can find a version of Wolfenstein 3D where you kill BJ Blazkowicz that was created by the Nazis and was being used as in universe Nazi propaganda.

The implication is that the Nazis were over 30 years ahead of us in gaming technology, as the game is set in 1961 and Wolf 3D didn't come out until 92.

Not really relevant, but interesting.

That was my impression too. Seems like she's under an NDA or was just told by a higher up to be quiet about it. There is no way she would be as silent as she is without outside intervention like that

The official Twitter clearly had the same thing happen. At first it was all quips, Haterz Gonna Hate, oh you played it? ;) type shitposting, typical lefty hostile PR response. Then, suddenly, all that stopped. Seems to me like someone, maybe from Embracer, realized that they'd fucked up horribly and told the whole of Volition to keep their fucking mouths shut. Shame those same higher ups couldn't tell them to rebuild the game from scratch, but I guess dumping this fat turd out and moving on to something that might actually make some money is a better idea.

because embracer can't give enough fucks about it, shit, they only started giving it AFTER the abysmal scores and PR nightmare, hopefully heads will fucking roll at volition.
i'm glad that these fuckers are being paid at least, so that way embracer and volition can see how much they are paying any potential employee for such a fuck up, will you hire cheap niggers and have something like Saints Row 2022 or are you going to fork your wallet and hire competent people to get shit like Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third?

i guess that's why NDA's have longer durations lately, i tried applying to a game and had shit like two years NDA for something that's going to release in oktober 22, nigger, wtf?

Was in my local Walmart earlier when I noticed the section dedicated to the game had other games within, with the reboot being reduced to a stack each for PS4 & PS5 (for reference, Walmart does four stacks for new titles that're split between the different PlayStation & Xbox versions). I also noticed that there were about 8 copies in both stacks, with the Xbox section faring little better.

Either the thing's selling well enough that they can't fill the whole section, or it's selling poorly enough that they're reducing inventory.
 
After beating this shit, I have to say.

It's just Saints Row 3 with a new skin, just like how Saints Row 4 and 5 were just reskins of the same game.

Interestingly enough, if you look closely at the map, some parts of it resemble Steelport and Stilwater, just like a few blocks of Steelport resembled Stilwater.

Gameplay wise.
Let me use the UI function accurately describe my opinion on the gameplay.

I fucking hate RPG mechanics and progress gating in action games.
I am tired of being given options and then when the actual missions start, my options are taken away.
My powers are taken away.
My skills are taken away.
My weapons are taken away and I'm given a piece of shit that does a fraction of the damage I was doing to the same enemies a moment ago.

WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT OF A SANDBOX IF IT'S RESTRICTING MY ABILITY TO SANDBOX.

So, the Boss and Crew.

I feel that Nu Boss is too bipolar for me. This is to the point that the only way to enjoy Saints Row is to play Boss as a female character. Why?

Because when you play as the male boss he goes from cruel to excessively touchy, spazmatic, touchy feely, bro-mo-sexual, cocksucking sycophant in a single breath. This is why the game doesn't have the REPLAY MISSION option because at first glance, you can ignore it. But when you switch the gender on the player character it becomes extremely apparent.


When you play as the Female Boss, it's just an average current year, too much caffinee not enough anti-depressants, Woman Moment.

Esspecially with the Cuckmaster Nuhaluli however the fuck you spell his name. When you play as a male boss, it's the boss being really fucking gay. When you play as a female boss, it's more like she's moistened her panties from his presence.

Why do I fucking hate the new crew?

Because you, the player don't develop a relationship with them.
Have you ever gone out with a group of friends and bump into another group of friends and while getting a drink or something, you're telling stories. And then the one friend in either group, tells an injoke that only friends of the group would get? That's the relationship the player has with Nu-Boss, Neenha, Kev and Eli.

You don't get the joke. You won't get the joke. But they get the joke. That's all that matters! It's actually a social faux-pas but given this generation of people who literally have ZERO friends beyond their closed social circles, it's understandable that the writer doesn't understand why it's bad.

Anyway. If this was a true Reboot, we would have seen PLAYA form relationships with Neenha, Kev and Eli.
I personally wanted to know why Neenha and Kev were so fucking willing to rob their own gangs and live together. Because you know, the Idols are a fucking cult and Kev was deep and he casually betrayed them on a regular basis, the same with Nina. These two didn't just shit where they slept. They shit on the walls. They shit on the floors. They shit everywhere but the toliet and I'm upset more bad shit didn't happen to them.

Like... Where's the tragedy that shaped PLAYA into the BOSS? There's no Carlos, there's no Lin, there's no Troy, there's nothing just some random dude who goes single white female on you after you save him from a jail you put him in.

God, who the fuck wrote this fucking game.

It's a perfect Meh out of 10. It's not shit. It's not new. It's not even worth getting upset over.
Is it woke? It's as woke as your average community college ie, just woke enough to not offend anyone , but woke enough to avoid being targeted because it's not woke enough.

It's stil better than the cuckfest that is Agents of Mayhem and Grand Theft Auto 5.
 
Thanks for reminding me of that abomination, I was happier forgetting that song got raped by Volition.
same, thanks alot, nigger.
also looking at the ending, they didn't even have the balls to show a dog's junk when peeing, my dogs certainly don't pee like that.

<insert white chick fucks dog joke somewhere>
It's just Saints Row 3 with a new skin, just like how Saints Row 4 and 5 were just reskins of the same game.
internally and by looking at the game files, this is saints row 5.
Esspecially with the Cuckmaster Nuhaluli however the fuck you spell his name. When you play as a male boss, it's the boss being really fucking gay. When you play as a female boss, it's more like she's moistened her panties from his presence.
>lead writer is a childless 30yo woman
'nuff said.
Why do I fucking hate the new crew?

Because you, the player don't develop a relationship with them.
you forgot saying that they are a fucking joke "homage" to the old crews, that monkeyfaced chick is meant to be a mix of 2 and 3 shaundi, the nigger is clearly pierce minus the foot fetish with the crew not making fun of him for being a whiny strategic nigger when the best option is just to shoot shit and the wafflefag is literally jhonny gat, even the fucking VA tries to make his voice deep enough to remember jhonny.

This reminded me of a shitty bug in The Third where one of the DLC missions gives you a certain weapon without upgrades to keep you from being too strong, but after the mission is over your upgrades stay gone and you have to buy them again.
