Saints Row thread

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.

Capitalism le bad am I right fellow comrades? Btw make sure you buy our game and give money to Deep Silver and the Epic Games Store!

There's those topical, relatable student loan references. Also is that a pride flag in the background?

And who could forget about the other pressing issues that really matter to millennials like climate change?
The best Youtube comment refers it as Saints Row made by Netflix

And unsurprisingly, most of the people in the comment section are just a bunch of fanboy consoomers defending this and seeing no flaws with the game. Now what kind of meds were any of them taking and can I have some? Because, as expected, it's still shit except much worse.

I wouldn't call these fanboys to be honest. Seems like bots since whenever I hear this about game or discussion about it, it's negative and it always comes from the people who played the original SR games.
 
As someone that loved the pre-AoM games (though 2 was by far my favorite), it's a little jarring to see just how repellent this upcoming iteration is to me. Every creative and business decision they've made seems like they somehow knew exactly what I wanted and decided to do the polar opposite.

It'll be interesting to see how this fares in the broader marketplace, but I'm not optimistic.

A part of me is still hoping that we'll only spend a small time with these new characters. I was predicting some crazy subversive moment where the glasses girl and shirtless guy die and that's when they have to actually "Get Real" and start doing gangsta shit™️. Those hopes are dead after seeing these screenshots, it's fucking over for Saints Row.

That'd be too interesting and subversive for this Saints Row. They have to play it safe for the Fortnite zoomers.

Still doesn't surprise me either way.

EDIT: These clips are from some sycophant eceleb retard’s video on the game. His humor is about as grating as the game’s but there is some clear footage of the first few missions so it’s worth watching in case you absolutely care about how this game looks

They legit cribbed this shit from the Deadpool game. The tone, vibe, and stupid objectives they shat out for this garbage is JUST the apartment interactions you did in that game but unfunny, uncreative, and desperately grasping for relevance.

>You will own nothing and be happy wallow and mope in your failure-ness while eating a barely toasted waffle. Now, go ahead and smoke marijuana while watching copious amounts of porn and play Saints Row.

More proof that the bugman storyline is a real thing in this game. That last part I added in the green text was just a joke I made up thinking I was funny, yet these game developers seriously might add it in for the “lulz”.

Pathetic, even at their lowest points the old Saints would go out and tear shit up instead of wallowing in self-pity.

What kind of "power fantasy" is this? Depression & student loans aren't funny, no one wants to reminded of them in Saints Row.

They already have money from Timmy Tencent and there's practically nothing else to buy or play in August so I wouldn't be surprised if it did 'okay' numbers-wise. We'll see though, after the initial blowback and the classic-fan outrage blew over they've been slowly inching their way back into marketing and the reactions seem lukewarm at best. I predict that it'll sell a decent number but won't be the hit they were hoping for, Volition will probably limp along for a while after the game is released, maybe long enough to make a sequel that doubles down on the new woke crowd, that will probably be what kills them for sure.

These are just so unbearably unfunny. Everything in this game seems that way, neutered, censored, half-baked. They didn't have the stones to try and create something more serious in tone like SR2 but also didn't have the balls to make something as irreverent as SR3/4. All the previews mention that the game feels like it's trapped in a bland soup and that's so sad to see. I had such high hopes for the reboot before it was actually shown. Way to take a good idea and just fuck it right into the dirt.

The game also looks really bad graphically, as petty as that is. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but watching it in-motion it looked like a really bad Chinese mobile game or something. Very bland UI, plastic texturework, boring environment, even the character creation was pretty boring.
