Saints Row thread

I like all, yes including Gat Out of Hell simply because each had their own flavor that while differentiates from its roots, undeniably still is a part of Saints Row, and personally I like that. It shows that Saints Row can have different flavors of fun. It can go old school like 1, gritty and brutal like 2 or bombastic and hilarious like 3, 4 and GOH. It appealed to all and did not have to follow a trend.

This is just the antithesis of the series as a whole, and it is saying a lot.

It's the antithesis of open world crime games. These young characters treat a gang like it's a club. I betcha money if the OG Three Street Saints saw this gang (of misfits) perpetrating their gang, their likeliness, their labels to THIS, they'd just wipe them off the face of the earth.
 
3rd was the best one. Self-aware parody of the highest order.
The Third was certainly the easiest of the series. IV just eclipses the Third in concept, originality, identity and writing. I'm glad they transformed the initial pitch of DLC into its own thing.
 
Is it me or does Saints Row 2 look more "brown" compared to 1?

It's like there's a filter. Character models from 1 to 2 look uglier in my opinion.

I DO love Aisha's redesign. Bae.
 
What the FUCK did I just watch?

Those carbon copy soy fueled faggot mobiles they were showcasing would get their fucking asses kicked by anyone with any kind of street cred at all.

And WHO FUCKING INVITED URKLE? Someone give that nigga a swirlie, push his shit in with 2 or 3 dudes, and throw him in an alley without his fucking kidneys.

And that Boss? Fuck. No. I am sick to fucking death of "Sassy Black Woman" as the nine thousandth player avatar. I'd take grim and tooth grinding half-silent unshaven white dude over that fucking bullshit.

The whole thing looks like an 80's Valley Girl threw up chemlight fluid and cum all over the place. There's pride parade trannies shitting less rainbow colors than that after a Teletubbie gangbang.

The weaponry looks fucking stupid. The cars look stupid. The "friends" look stupid. You couldn't get me to believe those fucking cumrags could take over a fucking Wendy's, much less run a gang.

Christ, I played SR with the most outrageous characters I could (Thank you, Idol Ninja, RIP) for a laugh and they STILL fit in better than this bullshit.

And I don't mind fucking with physics for a good game, but no.

Just fucking no.

This goes beyond video game/movie physics and goes straight into Newton Has a Hemorrhage territory.

They didn't show me shit for gameplay, just the Dev's jerking off about how great their self-inserts are and showing me some XXX-2 bullshit.

Seriously, ever seen that shitpot movie? Full of fucking soyboy bullshit.

Naw, I'm gonna pass buying this game.

I'm gonna go give the $60 to that Irish midget redheaded hooker that hangs out down by Arbies 'cause at least she'll go buy groceries after I blow a load in her deformed body.

I refuse to play 4 after I realized how lazy it is beyond the Crackdown mechanics it stole.

Plus it killed the natural step-up 4 could've done by having Boss as President getting kidnapped and having to overthrow a tinpot dictatorship in the aftermath. Save Space for the 5th game IMO.

I liked 3, Loved 2, and while I never did play 1 I enjoyed watching LPs of it.

This trailer and the fact they lie like fucking faggots with them gang signs reveals before it came out makes me not want to ever buy SR again. It's fucked too, since las Panteras, the gang you see the Queer Quartet beat, actually feel like a real gang in looks and via colors. They can't even let their shitty Agents of Mayhem II characters fly flags for fucks sake.

So yeah this reveal sucked.
 
In regards to 4...Jumping around like tobey mcguire in the first Spider-Man film was fun I won't lie

The 16-bit beat-em-up segment took me by surprise. All your customization is even translated into that dynamic. That's attention to detail.

I could name several moments in IV that I loved. The meta Enter the Domatrix DLC, the Christmas DLC, Biz Markie's Just a Friend, that 50s era level.
 
It's always women that are the "badass" lead characters in these games and tv shows, I seriously can't stand that shit. No doubt there are strong women but now the fact that it's over-represented so just breaks my suspension of disbelief immediately when I see them. We also dare not make them sexual unless they're trans, lesbian or some other gay shit, because sex is bad if it's as nature intended. Besides that they're buck breaking the black character into a quirky niggerfaggot who looks like the reincarnation of Urkel. Why are there no strong black characters? It's literally a game about GANGS, which black people are pretty notorious for being in. But I guess reality is too offensive to white, college-age, burgeious liberals. Better to have 3 ethnically ambiguous faggots wearing hipster glasses, playing hardened street criminals for a while before returning to their college dorms to take Xanax and browser Twitter. Another soulless, corporate game by committee that will no doubt be barely average and makes millions of dollars from the enlightened video game consumers. Thank you indie developers, for singlehandedly carrying video games on your fucking back for years.

What's worse is they can't even write 'badass females' at all.

They're either completely abusive psychopaths who nobody would be within 10 feet of and the military would throw in jail or they spend all their time telling you how badass they are and never actually, you know, being one.

And while I can suspend belief for psychic gene-engineered River Tam beating up 20 fucking hardened mercs, Black Widow beating up 8 fucking rentacops, no. I can't believe random sassy female protagonist 28 doing it.

The fun thing about Saints Row was the fact that the Boss was just some random dude they found walking down the street who turned out to be some kind of nigh-unkillable killing machine with borderline superpowers.

This... thing... just sucks the soul out of everything with their LOL QUIRKY bullshit.

It's like if Wil Weaton and Felicia Day tried to make GTA VI.

I don't understand the mentality of wanting a STRONG, FEMALE character, emphasizing that she's a heroine, WHILE removing any aspect that would distinguish her as female? That would be like wanting Mexican food while removing the tenets of what makes Mexican food enjoyable.

All this talk about women being misrepresented and undeveloped in media, the STRONG, FEMALE archetype is contributing, if not worsening to that problem. Who would want to play or sympathize with a barren character that is either bossy, dull, abrasive and/or plain unlikable? She's a female, ACCEPT IT! If anything, that's going to make people more hesitant to even write female characters.

Gender and race are NOT personality traits.

Just wait till you play the game and it will be another Crackdowngrade 3 again. No super powers like in IV (I mean shit the aesthetic is begging for superpowers and shit) or unique enemy (or hilarious ones) spawns like the Clown Car from II. Just some stupid physics and that is it.

Also, do I have to remind that the trailer is a cinematic trailer, not a gameplay trailer?
 
I would be fucking shocked if the trailer was a gotcha or similar stuff and was just showing potential customization you can potentially make but that's so optimistic i don't think there's a large enough rainbow image on the net to represent it

I am looking forward to Crowbcat's response to this reboot from the original games. I am willing to bet that Volition will skimp on details in favor of the cartoony graphics.

Are those YOUR OCs? Do me a favor, could you create for me a Golden Age Hollywood actress for me to ogle?
 
2 has a chromatic aberration filter. You can disable it on the PC version and the colors will stand out more.
I do not like when developers add filters to games. The Lost and Damned has that issue as well. Another game I think does that with blue is Battlefield 3. (Remind me to copy/paste this rant onto bullshit in games or tech trends you hate.)

Saints Row the Third looks like they made character models into action figures. And the skybox looks purple. Were the Saints so beloved, they artificially made Stillport purple in honor of them?
