Its not SJW its unfiltered fucking cringe. A problem the series had since Saints Row The Third. What you are seeing is nothing new. The devs took the fact people said SR1/SR2 was a blantant GTA clone to heart and tried to create its own identity and fucking failed and they continued to fail, stuff like IV, Gat out of Hell and Agents of Mayhem. Don't get me wrong I liked The Third for its gameplay (and Genki) but fuck its tone and story was absolute ass cancer and the new game is just Saints Row the Third on a larger scale. So the ass cancer has trippled.
There are enough normies out there who'll see Giancarlo Esposito's face on the cover of Far Cry 6 and go "WoAAHoAH! The Breaking Bad guy is in this?!?! Oh now I gots to check dis out" for them to license his image. Ubisoft games have significant normie audiences, and their games are good enough for the normies who are just taking their first steps out of just playing CoD and sports.
I haven't seen any hype for Saints Woke that seemed organic at all. I think it'll just do low numbers and collect dust on store shelves, just like Agents of Mayhem. Its gonna be in Epic Games prison for its first 6 months, and isn't seeing a Switch release, leaving it to fend for itself on Xbox and PlayStation.
They claim the story is halfway between Saints Row 2 and 3, but it just seems like Saints Row 3 without any of the spectacle.
No man, that shit's dated so long as you ignore all the gangs in Los Angeles and Chicago!
For me, it's the inverse. It's not even the fact that it's going into SR3 territory. It's the audacity of Volition being clueless of what fans EXPECT from a game like Saints Row. It had a massive opportunity to distinguish itself from GTA and threw it away with this woke pandering.
Mafia DE is a solid game if you think that the original Mafia is too hardcore of an experience since the OG devs were military simulator devs and brought that into their design.
This came from a subsidiary of Take Two. The same company that allowed GTA: "Definitive" Edition to release. I didn't like the first Mafia, too archaic.
There's some feminist bullshit they crammed in, but it's one scene from what I can remember. I don't think they changed too much, but I dodged the entire thing because fuck the dev and publisher.
This does not look like Saints Row 3. If anything, this almost looks like Watch Dogs 2 but without the fun and style of it, and the other things you’ve mentioned we’re probably added in place of actually having good and actual combat between the MC and the enemies.
When a Ubisoft game does better than you, something isn't right.
No they did, in the original game she was pretty typical of the era. They made her a suffragette or something and gave her a girl power tier line.
In context to that era, that sounds sexy as hell. Thanks for the warning.
