you mean both the troon operator and the gay operator that even on PCG (of all places) people laughed at ubi by saying that was absolutely useless details? those?
kek, i did say "give them their 15mins of attention then ignore them until the next time they embarass themselves saying woke shit" which, well. proves that ubisoft will literally jump around saying woke shit to get attention, no really, no one asked about that and ubi came out of the blue saying it, like "wtf ubi".

although malik was a hit

I think that was due to how she was written. Mid 20s pilot flying this shadowy trench coat augmented guy with a gravelly voice and shades on at night. Kinda flirt and you get the impression that maybe they had something or were in the middle of something but didn't bring it up at work. Time she's shot down in Hong Kong and under attack by Belltower is the only time I go lethal in a non-lethal run. She was kind of a side character but was likeable. No mention in Mankind Divided aside from an easter egg.
Found a ubi article where the writer says that Malik is a practicing Muslim and I think that goes against her character, she's described as short tempered and adventurous, yet practices a hard main line religion? To me, I think she'd be an ex-Muslim and broke away from her faith after she joined up with Sarif, that drove a wedge between her and her family but eventually met Jensen and maybe something happened.
Dunno, that's a better storyline for her I think and I still picture her picking out cereal with Jensen.

Oh yeah, Saints Row Reboot is shit.

Time she's shot down in Hong Kong and under attack by Belltower is the only time I go lethal in a non-lethal run.

see, that's why i uppen my cloak, reflex, lungs, emp resist and battery if i'm on a non-leathal run, while packing them nutrient bars, emp and gas g'nades.
always make her get out alive with dudes on ZZZ.
however they seem to be besties and the writing + VA plays it off like that.
and while i'm busy complaining about crammed-in gae characters thanks to r6's useless announcement, Jim Miller is the best example of making a gay/trans/enbi character without looking woke because he is more than "just being gay", unlike el-gaytito from r6 which is a operator AND is gay like that's some rare condition, ubi, make me a glass-bones disease operator if you want to signal stuff like when you play as joker on ME2.
and DX Invisible war tried something too with Lionel and Mark Finley but it's invisible war so it's automatically a shit take at anything.
oh yeah and here's the DSCC Video that leaked "alpha" gameplay:

(why do i get the feeling that jim robs will look like jim boone? i liked the Julius VS Keith David joke on SR4, but they added this nigger AND ruined a joke for it not to mention inserting a character that looks like the UI designer which screams that someone wants to fuck her in volition)

well, the trailer is a carnival of cringe, "sick of working for the man and getting little in return, they started a new faction, the saints".
here's why The Saints exists on SR1:

i really, really hated watching 13 minutes of pure cringe and i don't recommend to any other kiwi.
but if you want to see, timestamps:
00:54 - Guess who's back?
02:53 - Welcome to Santo Ileso.
05:25 - Meet the Soylents.
06:26 - Watch in horror as neena's face gets a close up.
08:08 - Gang Warfare.
10:28 - Let's get paid.
11:34 - More to Come.
oh and by the way the game remains that press space to drift stuff they added on the third, it was shit then and remains shit now and they even picked a deep-voiced actor to be kevin's VA, a literal nod to jhonny gat without calling kim, which shows they literally have no respect for their fans.

Watch Dog 2 isn't a bad game. I don't see the hate for it.

Game feels like it is made as a reation to the initial negative attention WD1 got at launch rather than a sequel. First game got criticized for being too dark and grim, WD2 is almost sickeningly saccharine in its presentation. First game got criticized for the 'hacking' being a glorified action button, WD2 goes out of it's way to include 'hacking' in its missions. The first game got criticized for relying too hard on its story, WD2 story might as well not be there.

You get the picture.

The story one really irked me as i actually liked the plot of WD1, Aidan pierce being a punisher style vigilante getting sucked into a giant conspiracy as a result of his own actions really scratched an itch i never knew i had.
The story of WD2 isn't great, it isn't good. It isn't even bad. It is a loose string of cutscenes tying the various activities together. It is safe, boring and uninspired. You form a ragtag group of hackers to 'hack teh W0rld!' consisting of Marcus, Girl, Mask and the other token black, there is probably more but aside from their physical appearance there isn't much to them. Then you hack the world, the other token black dies in a side mission that is unconnected to the main plot and is never mentioned again, that is the games dramatic peak. It sucks.

On top of that the game is a glitchy mess, The number of times i got soft locked, crashed or otherwise 'glitched' i cannot count. I beat the game 4 times and i still have story achievements locked because the game doesn't recognise that i have beaten those missions. I had an issue where Marcus loaded inside a building after a mission and cannot get out. I had an issue where a mp session ended unexpectedly and left me unable to do any missions until i reset the game. I had an issue where a large vehicle clipped into some wonky geometry and the game dropped to 5 frames until i shut it off and these are just the ones off the top of my head.

It isn't the worst game i have ever played, but i would rather replay WD1 over 2 any day.

Oh God, that one chick "has a secret surprise."

She's a tranny, calling it now.

there's still difference between posting stupid shit on twitter and actually putting it in the game.
besides, it misses the point I was making: ubisoft isn't just posting stupid shit on twitter, they go out of their way to hire those people for development - just look at their virtue signaling after last year. it's on the level of blizzard renaming the love rocket to show how inclusive and progressive they are. the problem being that it will inevitably affect development, so I hope you're ready for more ghost recon breakpoints, now with tranny operators.

They keep bringing up student loan payments, but isn't that still mostly a millennial issue at this point? Why does everything else about this game feel like Fortnite Zoomer bait?

Student loans are an issue plaguing Americans going back to Gen X in terms of people suffering from it.

Gen X was when the rot hit where people were told that you had to go to college or else be a failure/disgrace and shop class was reduced to a literal kennel for "problematic" students deemed too dumb to live, to keep them from contaminating "smart kids" with their retardation.

There are a LOT of Gen Xers who basically are facing retirement with NOTHING to show for it, because they had to spent a huge chunk of the money they made as adults paying off their student loans and even then, a lot of them are still basically fucked and still paying on it, because President Biden decided to be a huge god-damn cunt and kill off any hope of one being able to file for bankruptcy to not have to pay them.

Same with Millennials/Gen Y and others.

The sad thing is that, ten gets you twenty, the cast of Saints Row 21 have their student loans for feminist studies, crappy art degrees, and other useless bullshit.

Also, apparently Marcus is just eight days older than Null. Both are heavily notorious, live lives dedicated to technology, very knowledgeable about cryptography, and not physically intimidating at all. Maybe Marcus is just the black version of Null

You think Null also hung out with a tranny as well?

When I played WD2, I was surprised that they put this character in the game since I thought “Oh, they’re going for real with the Cyberpunk dystopia theme in San Fransisco of all places. Okay, then.”, but that was just early in the game.

They only added that character for “representation” and did nothing with it. It was also the first time where I witnessed something like that in a game like this, and I still have no clue what the point of her story was regarding to Marcus.

The story one really irked me as i actually liked the plot of WD1, Aidan pierce being a punisher style vigilante getting sucked into a giant conspiracy as a result of his own actions really scratched an itch i never knew i had.

Same here. I remember years after the fact that I played through the second, I was still questioning why people dislike the first one. The second one made me want to play the first one since back then at the time, GameStop was sold out of the first Watch Dogs due to the press the second game received.

This was literally back when buying games at GameStop and you did not need to worry about their business closing all because stock markets used their video game store as a meme.

Spoiler: Now that I think about it

I should probably stop by a GameStop one day and see what they still have left on their shelves.

 

[MirrorNoir]

If you consider the way the average person plays an open world crime game as part of the story, killing the player made perfect sense because he was a violent psychopath who would spend his time between jobs driving on the sidewalk and firing into crowds for fun. Not really "Vice Kings wearing purple", but still. Maybe Julius was just really perceptive and saw warning signs early.

That would make a decent twist for a proper Saints Row 1 remake: IE a karma system that determines the ending in terms of whether or not Julius turns on the Boss for being a monster other that can't be allowed to continue to draw breathe.

 

[The Last Stand]

I'll go further. Look at the gangs at Saints Row 1. The Los Carneles (fuck you, Dex, I'll use the double definite)

I will miss moments like this.

Saints Row 2 and 3 used to have the uncut, pixelated character customization where you have the chance to play as your character naked, whether you were male or female.

I don’t expect them to do this in the “rebooted” Saints Row. Progressive ideology trumps in-game admiring of the human anatomy for some reason.

I think "streaking" was in 3. I was surprised. Then averted when I realized that the nudity was pixelized. Character models in 3 and 4 looked plastic.

 

[No. 7 cat]

Looks like the reboot will the usual 'stunning and brave' shit. I last played SRIV in 2015, but gave up with the endless computer simulation segment. Yet it wasn't that bad, and three was fine (last played in 2013) I think. SR1 was actually very good and non weird, with no real woke fuckery, but it was years ago.

 

[Coster]

I'm on the cynical side of the reception for the new SR but I still hold some optimism they do something like take the story in a serious direction as a way to subvert the expectations they've created with pre-release materials that this is gonna be the Third Street Kidz Club. I'll probably pirate the game and go in with minimal expectations.

At the very least I can say the gameplay in the footage we've seen looks better than SR 2/3 in terms of shooting and especially driving. Driving has always sucked dick in Saint's Row with shitty bubble car physics and fake nitro that just increases acceleration while pulling the camera back with a blur filter, so I was happy to see the vehicles seem to handle like vehicles and not bumper cars.

 

[X Pac Heat]

[Ita Mori]

Whats so bad about Gat out of Hell? I got it very cheap in a steam sale.

That's why you're much more lenient on it. For $5 it's fine as a game. For full asking price it's a booger to the face.
All while completely disregarding story, btw.

How would a woke criminal work?

The same way a normal criminal works. The devil would be in their dialogue and character.
As meh as it is to play as a retired bank robber, it's downright badass over playing as a dyke who dresses current year and looks and talks like it to boot.

the graphics being like SR4 is "because it's an alpha",

Reddit's retarded. An alpha build is going to be very close to the final build graphics-wise. They are not going to re-code the engine in 6 months, what gets changed/added instead are character designs, locations, cutscenes, and texture/sprite work.
Easiest example is the GTA V November 2011 announcement trailer. The game was more than 2/3 complete engine & asset-wise. The things that changed wasn't the graphics, it was character designs (Franklin & Michael look different in the trailer and Trevor doesn't even exist), map locations, and all the bugs and mission scripts that needed to be patched/completed. It's not like GTA V looked improved graphics-wise on it's 2013 release vs it's 2011 announcement.

Very bad copium for reddit.

 

[Vault Boy]

Saints Row 2 and 3 used to have the uncut, pixelated character customization where you have the chance to play as your character naked, whether you were male or female.

I don’t expect them to do this in the “rebooted” Saints Row. Progressive ideology trumps in-game morning of the human anatomy for some reason.

I'll bet that you also can't change the size of the female character's breasts and ass so as to not "objectify" her.

They're going out of their way to sanitize in game companies and logos, why would customization be different?

How much you wanna bet the good guys use the word “Latinx” in the game?
