Saints Row thread

Side note:
Cult of the Lamb is an indie rogue-like game that's gotten popular over the last few days. People combed through one of the dev's tweets and found this a few months back when the first SR trailers dropped.

Can't wait to pirate the game and make a white male character. Might even mod the game to make all your companions white.

It's 2008. You start up Saints Row 2 after a long day of work, ready to play a few hours with your buddies. "Ridin in That Black Joint" plays on the main menu. You talk shit to each other. You have true freedom of speech on 2000's Xbox Live and you'll be called a faggot and banned from the group if you whine about someone "offending" you. Mayos, chocolates, rice, and tacos alike (we had true diversity back then in gaming, not this weird manufactured "inclusion" diversity where everyone is segregated and hates each other) call each other racial slurs, insult each other nonstop, and then congratulate each other on a good game at the end because, like I said, this was in 2008 and people weren't faggots back then and it was very hard to actually offend someone. Gangsta brawl, Team gangsta brawl, Strongarm, etc... The multiplayer is a complete experience, has years of replay value and you don't have to pay for any extra costumes or bullshit.

I never knew that gaming and society would peak then and things would go far downhill in the next decade. This new Saints Row, the gaming industry, and the way most people act in general now are like living in some sort of evil parallel universe.

Your comment is making me miss the 2000s even further. If only we had that shit in the 2 decades.

My biggest concern isn’t that the games Woke - though I have eyes, I’ll call a spade a spade there - my concern is that the game just looks generic as fuck.

God I miss the days where you could call a faggot a faggot over voice chat and not get banned from whatever you’re playing.

How did people become such pussies? I still blame the Big Bang Theory for making Nerd Shit mainstream…

There's a lot of factors but Big Bang Theory is a big reason. I still wonder how shit became so fucking soft these days.

Looks like we actually have some control over the map, and where our businesses go? Interesting

I guarantee you it'll be either an automatic story event where you get no input on where the criminal venture is placed, or you'll get to pick between one of a few different slots that'll all get filled in inevitably anyway. If there were any substance to it, whatsoever, you would have seen it in a trailer.

That guy's a pedophile. I don't have any proof yet, but we all know the pattern. I just wanna be the first one to call him that so I can gloat when the inevitable is revealed

How bad/cringe do you think this game’s version of SR3/4’s “singing along to a song on the radio with Pierce” is gonna be?
Click to expand...
Given that there's an Achievement/Trophy for singing karaoke with all the morons, I'd say quite terrible. Doesn't help that the new voice actors for the main dickhead don't hold a candle to the old ones (particularly Laura Bailey, she had great chemistry with Pierce), so the whole thing will be awkward at best and absolutely embarrassing at worst.

What are the odds of the traitor being a member of the core crew? I say slim, because then you'd get to shoot the shit of at least one of those bargain bin gangsters, which would be a good thing.

I can see some character that you recruit along the way that they try to push as extremely likeable, only to pull the rug under you in the most hamfisted way possible.

It's either that or a 50/50 between the nigger and the strong independent latinx woman mechanic, so that they can claim to have the first ever fully realized female villain in an open world crime game or some such tripe.

I'm imagining there's an unique dialogue where if you play as a white character and there is a rap song, you cannot say nigga for obvious reasons.

Good joke, but has to be said: They ain't that competent, brah. The entire reason they have male skeleton as default is not tranny justice, they just can't be arsed to have two systems. They are not gonna have "pale=no n-pass" type shit.

This entire fucking generation is about being lazy. The easiest way to elevate yourself is socjus, just before that was being edgy, but they can get away with minimal effort solely by espousing the right virtues. Don't get me wrong they probably believe this shit, but the main reason they do is because it's easy mode for them.

I have being recently abusing my younger brother's PSPlus membership since I can log onto his account at my flat and I have to admit, randomly hearing the cockney Boss and Pierce singing Paula Abdul was the first time in ages I laughed with a video game rather than at it. SR4 might be flawed but I have had a lot of fun with it for what it is. This new SR looks like it might give me a headache and I am far too old and busy to be dealing with that shite.

Cult of the Lamb 🐑 OUT NOW on Twitter: "I love the new Saints Row tr…

I've heard that his game isn't bad, but goddamn the dev is a tard.

I got it for PC on recommendation from my wife, who was enamored with the super cute graphics. I have to say, it is an absolutely adorable game, and the very core of it is pretty fun. That being said, there's a fuckton of game breaking bugs that I've encountered. Sometimes when you perform rituals the whole game locks up and you're stuck until you alt+f4. Sometimes the lamb runs through the screen and gets stuck on the outside of the map, the loading takes far too long and there's still major slowdown in coming to a new area. There's input lag in the combat, and both the weapon and progression systems are fucking horribly balanced.

It's a neat little game, but it isn't worth the 15 bucks. Especially so now, since the dev seems to be a little bitch.

If you're interested in it, pirate it. If they fix it, and you want to support the developers, buy it on sale.

This guy had uploaded much of the story a couple of days ago, but Volition struck him down. Part 1 if he reuploads, contains the cold open where NuBoss is being buried alive after a large party at their headquarters get raided, then the caption "three months earlier" starts off the game with the footage we seen. He has part 8 up right now delisted, check his twitter page for the playlist.

Like how Sony or Naughty Dog struck down anyone who uploads Last of Us Part II gameplay.
