Saints Row IV

[Human Snorenado]

Hmmm...it actually "only" costs $99. I was expecting at least $150 when I saw that. Kinda want....but I guess there's no PC version.

Yeah, that was my issue

[Fifstar]

Why would anyone buy that? Just lots of plastic junk that clogs up the apartment...

Saint's Row 2 Shaundi and Saint's Row 3 Shaundi, too!   

[mjemirzian]

Is that one of those trailers where it spoils the entire plot?

[cool breeze]

am I misunderstanding it or is Keith David is your vice president?

Saint's Row 2 Shaundi and Saint's Row 3 Shaundi, too!   

Super excited for possible Requiem for a Dream ass-to-ass tribute scene.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Keith David is an actual character in the game? Awesome.

You know who else was in Requiem? Keith David.

[Joe Molotov]

Keith David is Keith David in Todd MacFarlane's Keith David

SAINTS ROW 2 SHAUNDI OMG!!!!!

[pilonv1]

Just played this, its everything I could have hoped for. Reminds me so much of Crackdown, especially the jumping

[Bebpo]

Does it feel a lot different than SR3 even though it's the same city?

[Himu]

How different is steel port. Is it like stilwater sr1 -> sr2

[pilonv1]

No, looked almost identical.

How different is steel port. Is it like stilwater sr1 -> sr2

Too hard to say, it was limited to a smallish section of the city.

[Human Snorenado]

This is super fucking important...

Super. Fucking. IMPORTANT.

...is Professor Genki coming back in SRIV?

[pilonv1]

Seems like it. One of the mini games I played involved using your force powers to grab cars/people/Genki heads and throw them through special markers about 20 feet off the ground. You had to complete all of them in the allotted time to get gold.

はいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい

fixed

[chronovore]

I really enjoyed Genki's presence in SR3, though I found a couple of the arenas a little difficult to navigate through. I mean, I couldn't tell where I was in relation to the exit. I know it's supposed to be a Lazer Tag style of battlefield, but there were insufficient landmarks to know how to progress, and that was annoying, whereas in Lazer Tag, there was always something to shoot at.

Sure. It's sad and backward.

At the same time, we can talk about how many AO-rated games are available in the USA.

And Germany is laughing at both of us.

[Trent Dole]

Germany doesn't allow red blood in games, or at least didn't for a very long time.

[Joe Molotov]

Or Nazis.

[Trent Dole]

No Nazis in anything ever over there!

[Rufus]

And Germany is laughing at both of us.

Yup.

All that's missing is a government agency to deem games that have been denied a rating harmful to children's development, which, depending on what list it ends up on, could mean a complete ban on sales and even confiscation of any existing stock.

Decapitation, dismemberment, rewarding brutality, rewarding greater brutality with more points, ragdolls, etc. Are all problematic, but not always, which is the usual ratings board nonsense and completely mystifying to anyone from the outside looking in. Nazi iconography is another matter entirely, but again, ratings board bullshit and as far as different media go, i.e. Indiana Jones can get away with swastikas, games can't, because they're seen as being intended for children, or as making light of the past, etc.

The dumb part is they just added an 18+ rating, but it seems to be just getting what the old 15+ rating did. State of Decay was banned today as well.

That dominatrix shit 

[Beezy]

[cool breeze]

The extra voice option in the game is "Nolan North" instead of zombie (or in addition to?).  Troy Baker is still just "Male 1."

[chronovore]

Is Phil LaMarr doing anything in this?

[Human Snorenado]

This isn't really a part of the Steam sale, but if you preorder SRIV on Steam and you already have SR3, you get an extra $5 off.  So, just to recap: Not only will you get the superior PC Master Race version, you'll get it for FIFTEEN DOLLARS LESS than the dirtperson console version.  Man.  It really is like you pay an idiot tax to be console only!

You gotta draw a line in the sand somewhere, demi.

Lol. I'd have banned 3/4 the board by now, then.

New Saints Row 4 demo.

I dunno, I've been a fan of Saints Row since 1 and I'm not feeling this game demo. It really does look like an expansion to 3, and as much as I like 3, this looks way too similar. It doesn't really look like it deserves the name of IV and watching footage I ask myself what the point of the game is because it looks the same exact thing as 3 but with new abilities. It could also be argued this is too over the top and Volition and are getting stupid with how the series is going but the fact the game takes place in an VR environment makes things better. I dunno, I just see a desperate attempt to be wacky and very samey game play of 3. It reeks of cash grab.

Doesn't stop me from getting it but at this point in time SRIV looks like child's play compared to GTAV to me and this seals SR4 as the game I get on launch and not open until Christmas.

Yeah, cause Rockstar aren't really good at making awesome trailers and then it turns out their games are boring as fuck.

SR wants you to get stupid with them, breh.  Too bad for you.

[Himu]

Footage of gameplay of the game makes it look unnecessary as a product. It's like, I could just boot up The Third and install this.



Feels pointless throwing 60 bucks at it.
