Saints Row thread

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Tera Patrick wasn't exactly beloved either. She's a forgettable cameo but she fit the mold way better than Amouranth ever will.
Plus I doubt Amouranth is either in this game or excited to larp as a gangsta.
There's backlash because this move is as insincere as you can get, but I wouldn't expect a consoomer to get it.
You know a throwback 90s gangster rap game probably would have done a lot better and made the game stand out a lot more. People miss that era a lot and we haven't seen a game with a setting like that in a very long time. If they really HAD to crib modern shit for a crime game, Breaking Bad and south American criminal empires wouldn't have been terrible either. The game could have been about building up The Saints cartel, rather than a street gang, but even that probably would have been too scary and dark for the millennial genderqueer devs.

Hot bitches are a gangster fantasy thing. White Onlyfans thots are not. The Millenial criminal power fantasy isn't that hot sluts will flock to you, it's that your Onlyfans ewhore might finally meet you in person to shake your hand i
A "contemporary" millennial power fantasy at that, meaning that a lot of the game will be tailor made for early 2022 at best.
You know, as a contemporary millennial there are very few things on this earth I'd like to focus on less than that simple fact. It's called escapism for a reason.
 
I remember the 2005 issue of Gamepro that had a preview of the original Saints Row the Xbox 360 on the cover. They were bragging about how edgy and cool the game was going to be and saying that the content is going to make even GTA look soft. Somehow people back then understood that it was meant to be entertaining.

For all of Volition's crowing about the old games being "dated", this thing will be guaranteed to be outdated when it releases.
I'm trying to understand how the first 2 games are dated. I can argue it was pretty progressive for its day having a diverse cast and you can a play as a chick in the 2nd game. The amount of censorship and PC bullshit that is in the newest game is enough to make your stereotypical boomer christcuck blush.

I feel a lot of game developers had a lot of creative freedom back in the day so they can basically make whatever the fuck they wanted to make. Now, you have to make a copy and paste game based on another game that sold 50 million copies because the Publishers want to crash in on a trend.

Developers used to have a lot of balls and stuck by their vision, just a different sort of people I guess. Back before nerd culture got 'cool' people who played videogames, let alone people who made the fucking things, were always shit on by society. They had a big 'fuck off' attitude to pursue their passions. Once Big Bang hit and it became fun, quirky, and PC to play and enjoy videogames, a bunch of fucking losers entered the sphere and it was all downhill from there.

The late 2000s was a dark time for nerd culture in my opinion. First you had the big bang theory that come out in 2007, then you had the writer's strike of 2008, and to top it all off, you had Jessica Nigri, who wasn't a really nerd but was attractive and she enter the Cosplay space in 2009, becoming the first Cosplay-whore and causing an influx of other girls like her to become cosplayers and ruin it for anyone else.

I now know the reason why Amouranth’s face looks familiar with this facial expression in that picture. But now, I don’t think most men want to look at that and see the bottom picture as THAT.

This game is going to suck Belgian cocks and this move reeks of desperation.
This game has no focus, no vision, and will have no execution. First they pander to the woke mob in the hopes it drives hype and goodwill, then they pander to the thirst traps and simps in the hopes it.. does something?
Literally anything except making a 00's urban gang-themed game.

At least the comments are mostly sane.

But then there's this nigger:

E-Thots.
College loans.
Diversity.

Can't wait.
One thing i hate about enjoying videogames is that you're expected to know who any of these people are
 
The total 180 in their marketing is hilarious. I look forward to seeing this game bomb.

The funny thing is that a game with sophomoric edginess would actually stand out in todays climate. This half-assed attempt definitely won’t cut it though. Everyone knows it’s a “millennial power fantasy,” as stated by the devs, so the game won’t appeal to anyone.

A lot of games before the woke PC bullshit would stand out in today's climate if I'm being honest.

Big Bang was the... big bang for the ruination of gaming and nerd culture, but in my opinion it was a slow step by step process that only over the last 5 years has it really started to finally kill the whole thing.

"The heart of rock n roll" was still beating so to speak in 2008 especially and on through 2009-2017 though that was when the cracks started to show, but since 2017 the whole thing has been falling apart like a rotten wooden structure.

Before Nigri there was Raychul Moore, but 2009-2017 honestly weren't so bad years for gaming, though like I said the cracks started to show in some pretty major ways during that time and it was never better than it was during 2007 and below.

But the one two punch of Goofy Goobers and Daddarino Bambino has knocked the fuck out of gaming in the western sphere.

It was definitely a combination of different things that lead to the creeping sickness of social justice within nerd culture, but I point to Big Bang as the ironic inciting incident that opened up the floodgates and made it 'cool' to be a nerd. The next would be the massive explosion of the Marvel cinematic universe.

I would say the MCU explosion was mostly in part due to the First Avengers Movie. I remember everybody was walking about it when I was in middle school and it got big from there until recently since people are tired of capeshit.
 
After washing the taste of ass off, have volition even released a list of licensed music that'll be included in-game?
 
Letting Luis do cool, over the top shit still caused a huge tonal clash with GTA IV and TLAD.

Rockstar was literally like "Niko and Johnny can't blow up buildings and steal military helicopters because they're just an immigrant hitman and a biker." when people complained.

But then suddenly a nightclub bouncer can do all that cool shit because...well, it's because people wanted to do fun stuff and TLAD sold like shit I'm pretty sure.

The thing is, now we're at a point where we've had these games for 20 fucking years. A game just being Saints Row 3 but in a desert and woke shouldn't really cut it.
haha helicopter go brrrr. luis is a trained pilot tho

I looked around briefly and didn't find any. Speaking of which, https://saintsrow.com/ isn't anything special, just one of those overly flashy websites that looks like shit that doesn't really have anything on there. If you click "home" on the navigation row at the bottom (Home | Preorder | News | Media), it'll bring you to an error screen, lol.

Or maybe the "oh crap" juxtaposed with the guilty look on the dinosaur's face is how they feel about the state of the game

First thing I think of when Saints Row comes to mind is dinosaurs.
