Isn't a mimosa a woman's drink?

Women and fags who need to drink during breakfast but can't handle a screwdriver or just straight liquor

That's what I thought. In a normal script, you would have characters drinking whisky, instead in the SR Reboot the characters talk about food (one of them wants to be a chef/influencer on social media?!) while drinking female/gay cocktails.

It's acceptable on Christmas morning.

Mimosa is also a really gay name. It's known as Buck's Fizz in the UK.

Mimosa sounds like amorous in Spanish.
Lol.

If the characters were at least likeable and the dialog felt natural, they could get away with that shit. I feel like Shaundi or maybe Gat could get away with that in Saints 2, but I could also see Laura, the housewife drug dealer, offering the boss one too.

Gat would rather drink piss before he takes a mugmosa. Hell, he's the one who realized the Saints sold out in 3.

Pour the man a 45.

Lol I just realized; are the Saints going to be buying Frappuccinos and Soy Chai lattes at Starbucks instead of burgers and booze at the gas station now?

The shirtless asian twink is the one who wants to be le epic podcaster/culinary ecelebrity. The girl wants to own her own body shop (but apparently got a degree in art and couldn't get a job so now she steals cars? Because those are careers with a lot of overlap) and Eli is the faggier Urkle who wants to turn The Saints into a criminal startup. Apparently they all share an apartment at the start of the game... for some reason.

Very relatable and quirky. People used to joke about Saints Row being Reddit : The Series but I didn't think it would ever truly go so far as to STAR Redditors.

"Mugmosa"? God, I want someone to take that "mugmosa" and smash it into one of those douchebag's teeth.

For the love of god, why the fuck is Saints Row now being associated with student loans and "carbon footprints"?!

Because someone probably (most likely sarcastically) suggested that they rip off Breaking Bad for Saints Row 5 and the anti-life brigade decided to fag it all up by making the characters SJW cliches rather than working class folks who bought into the lie of college being required to get a good paying job due to our villification of blue collar work.

And again, part of me kind of wishes, if we are doing a reboot like, getting Johnny Gat as the main character and treating the SJW anti-life brigade as his sidekicks he's forced to associate with due to him being in a new town with no allies and bad guys coming out at him at all angles to kill him and Johnny having to break down and remake the SJW asshats into real gangster types and not whiney millennial bitches.

The only good thing that can come from this is that the reboot flops so fucking badly that Rockstar Games pulls an audible and backs the fuck away from making GTA6 woke.

GTA has brand recognition SR could only dream of. You cannot shill a SR game on name alone the way you can a GTA.

Volition is done for. Cockstar will be fine.

Absolutely. Even if GTA6 will not be as much of a success because of what's been happening as of yet, it will still be a success because of the namesake. Saints Row as of now is dead, and there is no salvaging it as we speak. The horse is dead.

Unfortunately - or rather fortunately perhaps - GTA6 has that nasty marketing projection it has to worry about. If it does not reach that projection it's considered a failure. Given the immense success of V that projection will be quite high.

Saints Row doesn't really have to worry about that given the horrid failures of Agent of Mayhem and Gat Out of Hell -- at the very least I heard nothing good about Gat Out of Hell. So they can be much more optimistic about their projection plus Sweeney already bought us all a copy so remember to visit your local pirate to pick it up.

Be as it may, and I agree Rockstar and its parent company, T2, are absolutely tone deaf with corporate marketing, but that's with most giant companies. So if GTA6 is still not as successful as V (or even Online), at least they won't worry since they've made more money with the predecessor.

If anything, I’m willing to argue that the new characters in Saints Row are no more different that the bug people that live in pods in expensive American cities that either work in IT, the fashion industry or big name corporations that rely on people to live in those “minimalistic” apartments to show you how cool and hip it is to ride on the current trends, while not owing anything physically.

Not giving Saints Row too much credit, but it‘s stuff like these that are influencing these “influencers” to force them to live in an unsustainable society that is being co-opted by people that want to see them demoralized with these gadgets and free stuff that is literally disguised to make it look ”fun”.

While true, business is fucky where they spend on other things based on what they think they'll make on this project. It's why Square Enix shut down Sleeping Dogs despite making remarkable sales figures because they were overly optimistic and missed projection so they didn't get the money they thought they would have and spent elsewhere in accordance to. If that happens with GTA 6 TakeTwo will probably shut down woke shit if they think it drastically affected the bottom line, maybe. It really depends on how investors react if it does poorly or - more likely - miss projection.

I really, really, hope Urkel isn't supposed to be Dex with his "we gotta go legit and we gotta become an empire" attitude.

Please no.

Lol the suits don't know what woke is. They believe whatever their dangerhairs at HR and PR tell them. And they'll all say that GTA VI fell victim to a hate campaign, and that the solution is to keep adding more trannies and faggots because that's what sells, scout's honor. It's just those pesky incels and far right extremists who hate women.

By the time the suits realize they've been had, those same dangerhairs will be working at another company or NGO, long gone .
Same way the progtards who ruined the Row will land jobs their friends networked for them at Ubisoft or CDPR.

It actually does make total sense in the end. And now, Squeenix (as well as the likes of Konami and Capcom) focused on selling NFTs to stay relevant. Fuck this gay earth.

Godfuckingdamnit.

You're overestimating HR and PR, they're both shit and can do a lot of damage - because as you mentioned networking plays into entryism - but suits are typically doing what brokers tell them to do to get investments. Right now that's ESG shit, so they're gonna correlate a lot of what that tripe pushes as harmful to profit. Now whether or not they know that before true believers take over is a different matter.

Wouldn't they know what woke is by default since every company is required to have ESGs in the first place?

 

[Headshotmaster138]

Well, the rumors point to the next GTA becoming overly sanitized bland paste just like this game.

I miss the days where open world crime games had balls instead of bowing before groups they "can no longer" joke about.

Sadly those games were a product of their time, not saying it's a bad thing. But I mean nobody gave a shit and was so easily offended over bullshit back then.

 

[Jack Awful]

There's a video that was posted showing off some of the game. Apologies if it was posted already, but I found some pictures from it in a /v/ thread that showcase some of the great writing in case you can't bear to watch all 30 minutes of it.

Who wants a "mugmosa" for brunch? Because I guess owning champagne flutes or any other proper glassware other than coffee mugs and Mason jars is considered bougie.
