Saints Row thread

It starts about 45 seconds in, but seeing this cutscene in action makes me think of a bad sitcom, the Watch_Dogs 2 group can definitely beat these guys up.
Fuck these people now that I'm seriously listening to this shit. They're legit leeches on your character in this scene, with not a one of them pulling their weight other than Fortnite Idol man... at least he fucking cooks for the roomies. God forbid they pick up money. God forbid they buy cheap. I don't have any sympathy for these sociopathic trustfund kids.

Jesus I'd never touch this even if the game wasn't just a worse version of 3. Hell, I was knocked out of the thing when the character kept cursing like that's comedy that makes people laugh.
 
35 Dollars can buy you a lot of different fucking waffle makers. If you're smart, you can even get a more expensive one on sale.

Maybe instead of raking up debt with useless degrees, they could have taken some financial and budgeting classes.

I know this is a video game, but Jesus Christ.. These are the lamest reasons for anyone to become a criminal..

It saddens me deeply that Saints Row has degenerated into this embarrassing bore. I know some of you guys weren't fans of the direction 3 & 4 took, but at least those were committed to being wacky & action packed, this is just boring to watch and has its humor neutered to avoid offending the "wrong targets" (on top of having characters that would've been treated as annoying pedestrian NPCs in the first four games, of course).

These days, whenever I hear one of my favorite series is getting rebooted, I can't help but assume they'll be in-name-only at best.
 
300 dollar wafflemaker?

I'd almost think it was meant to be satire on the retardation of Millenials if it wasn't so serious and cringe about it.
The same douchebag does a hashtag bit that goes on for a couple of lines, I genuinely believe the writers think this is what people like.

If this was supposed to be a satire, someone like Johnny would've backhanded him for being so idiotic & entitled.
 
On a brighter note, Saints Row 2's free to download until August 16 if you have Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass Ultimate, and the rest of the series is on sale for Xbox this week. If nothing else, Saints Row will actually have something good happen this month before that reboot makes a bigger embarrassment of it.
Sorry, still gotta pirate. Still waiting for that Gentleman of the Row mod to finish.... any second now...

To me it does feel like its cringey on purpose than any matter of fact handwringing about shit but its so retarded and bad that i cant blame anyone for taking it at face value considering current year and just how shit its written
This game is supposed to be a "contemporary millennial power fantasy", I highly doubt Volition would make fun of them on purpose.

No, more likely they thought this sort of shit would make these "Saints" relatable and didn't think they would look even more unlikeable than the reveal trailer portrayed them as (seriously, I'm astounded at how awful of a character the shirtless douchebag is). I can't even entertain the idea of them being a satire of hipsters as even they would be appalled at the outfit Steve Urkel II is wearing (I'm being harsh, Steve Urkel is a jock compared to the bowtie wearing dickhead).

The only one I can even remotely tolerate is Neenah, but I'm that's because we haven't seen the worst bits out of her.

This legit almost looks like a Seinfeld parody. Now, I’m seriously wondering if Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld could write better scripts for a Saints Row/GTA like game.

The mental equivalent of George, Kramer and Elaine in Saints Row would just be too meta for today’s standards.
 
WElp, bought a video card.

This piece of shit game came with it.

That's how they're going to bump up their sales numbers.

I'm tempted to play it just to see how bad it is.

Don't do it

Don't activate it. Don't engage with it.

Engagement is a win with these faggots. You already know how bad it is. That's how they get you.

Yeah, I'm thinking of bitching at the retailer and telling them I'll take any other game but this piece of shit and that I'm offended that they'd try to pawn this piece of shit on me.

Because, fuck, it's like it already contaminated my system just knowing the card had that with it.

Wow, they're already bundling the game to other tech? That's a baaaad sign.

Seconding on not playing it. They do use any lie they can make with statistics to justify their delusions after all.
 
"Dear AMD Rewards;

"I find the new Saints Row to be objectionable and offensive on moral and ethical grounds. From the use of ESG scores to the trivialization of poverty in America, to the glorification of violence and the flaunting of gun control laws, to the grueling working conditions the workers of Deep Silver and Volition suffer under Koch Media. In regards to this, I wish to be assigned another reward, as the glorification of urban violence is what has led to thousands of African American deaths every year, as well as violence against Asians, Hispanics, and other marginalized populations in the US.

"Regards:

"Crazy Uncle Johnny."

Let's see what reply I get.

Does she have Tourette's or something?

PROFANITY = HUMOR!

Who the hell ARE these people? Voice acting sucks, script sucks, premise sucks, everything about that first impression SUCKS.

I'm laughing at this but not for the right reasons.
