As long as I’m still able to create a mob boss with basketball tits and fishnets, I have no issue with Saints Row: Non-Binary Edition.

That said, if you’re a fan of a certain floppy purple melee weapon that can’t be described without this article falling foul of the Obscene Publications Act 1959, we’re afraid that hasn’t made the cut.

Do they think anybody BUT old boomer SR fans is going to even buy the game though? Trying to cater to the zoomer crowd isn't exactly a new bold tactic.

If they're neutering anything that could upset a twitter user, then it ain't for me.

I've already played SR3 and SR4 on just about every system they released on, I reckon I'll leave the new one to the young 'uns.

People hate the new Saints Row because they are bigots:

Seeing how many people are this out of touch about contemporary fashion trends and what younger generations consider to be cool or stylish is definitely the funniest part about all of this. It never even occurred to me to comment on the main character's designs because to me they just looked like normal people.

Some real strong "old man yells at cloud" energy going on.

When I think about modern gaming and fashion trends I think in RE. That fucking YT dislike bar just appeared from nowhere, those fucking boomers.

Reeeee Claiming that it's incels/le alt right/Gamergate Returns downvoting because there are POC in the trailer is spectacularly missing the point. I'd imagine most people hate it because it sounds like absolute horseshit and is overly relatable to a small % of gamers and an even smaller % of its core audience.

Quote
The studio made it a point to bring Saints Row back to the contemporary crime genre it grew and thrived in. The team wanted to create relatable, modern characters who face similar obstacles to today’s young adults, like overwhelming student loan debt or being denied work in their desired field.
  :cornette

See?

It'd be like taking Duke Nukem and rebooting him as a woke warrior. Most people would hate it because it's not a Duke Nukem game anymore, not because he suddenly developed a social conscience.

Everybody loved Pierce. The idea that Saint's Row fans can't handle diversity is laughable. Still, if you only have a hammer etc..

The difference between Pierce and these new cats is that I'm certain I could beat the new characters to death with my bare hands, and never break a sweat. I do not wish to lead a gang like that.

*that's not to say Pierce is the sum total of diversity in Saint's Row, the games were inclusive as fuck. Pierce just stands out because he was a hilarious main character.

Too be honest, I'm not sure how to describe the new Saints Row cast besides "SJW". You have the guy with the quirky 8bit helmet making emoji faces, some Urkel dork, and the usual stoic, no-nonsense ethnic mary-sue that tries way too hard to make you think she's badass. They just come off as super obnoxious and predictable caricatures, like they're written by the type of 30 year old who brags about how big their Twitter blocklist is.

As i said in the other thread, it's basically Watch Dogs characters.
They really nailed the "Ubisoft style" of faux (corporate friendly) counterculture.

I really enjoyed Watch Dogs OG despite the ridiculous cliche of Aiden. By the time Watch Dogs 2 rolled around, I felt like I had a decent time in the game, all the while tolerating the narrative and characters. I think my time is worth more than the effort of playing Watch Dogs: Legion. It'd not who the characters represent, it's the ham-fisted and cringe implementation. Give me a team that doesn't read like a diversity checklist just once please.

That Saints Row game looks fucking horrid. It is ironic the constant strive for diversity is making every game look the same. That game looks like Watch Dogs. It looks so dull and grounded. If they wanted diversity, they could have done so in an absolute ridiculous fashion as they always do with the series. Some eccentric gays and trans people. Why does every game make all gays and trans people pussies?

Who remembers that mission in SR the third where you go and steal a crate of 'ho's' at the docks

And then you have to decide whether to keep them or sell them to someone else.

I can only imagine how a mission like that would go down today if a place like reeee started the outrage train

Because Corporate social pandering is totally not a thing. Disney just doesn’t announce their first gay character every three months just to get free press.

Is my fault that the trailer didn’t make clear you still make your own main character because focusing to much in the female template character.

My god it's even worst than I thought after watching that video. Anything that was Saints Row has been stripped out for a safe and sanitised game.

Those four characters look absolutely shite. I saw some asshats on reeeee getting angry that people were saying the characters look like they fell in from Fortnite and they do. It's like laser focused almost AI created characters.

I wonder how freaky they'll let you make the main character? But the others are the sort of safe design I was fearing.

And the story; a criminal startup? get the fuck outta here.

The sad irony here is they'll do all this work and the people they're aiming this game at currently won't give a fuck come release day and the old fans won't recognise what this game is trying to do and will also give it a pass.

Really? I think the ham fisted social commentary is kind of self aware. Because the main villain in Legion ends being

your “woke“ handler that betrayed everyone because she is actually blackpilled and ends not being better or deep than a 4chan troll stereotype.

Is also hilarious if you end the campaign with a Granny and a female Hooligan characters. I hear you that the slacktivism is insufferable early on but you start to get this game is way less serious as you progress.

Watch Dogs 2 was more “sincere” in the corporate approved counterculture but also feel like taking the piss of it at times (the Jim Sterling esque figure was a little prophetic).

Watch Dogs 1 was the only one that ended take itself seriously all the way until the end.

You can move on. I had to gather all my strength to play Saint’s Row 4 when they ditched my lovely Russian boss’ voice and left me with some bland substitute that I can’t remember. It hurt, and the pain has never truly left me, but I made it through.

Truthfully, in my tight loving family we talk to each other in ways that would necessitate large quantities of smelling salts for those cats. I once threatened to punch my missus in the vagina in front of some GAF cats, and I’d die for my woman. I say shit to my mum that a shock jock would blush at. It’s all about the person and intent behind the words when you’re offline, and round here it’s all love.

You’d never get that from a transcript though  :lol

Edit: also, I’m not cockney. Listen to some Skinnyman and some Jake Bugg, mix up their accents and you’ve got mine. Messy Midlands.

Once the game is more stable across all platforms players can expect a comprehensive roadmap to reintroduce many fan favorite features such as character creation and car tuning.

Just caught wind of the Saints Row reveal earlier. "CTRL+F watchd", yep... I can't help but check out of these games with colorful TikTok nerds as gangsters. This is the kind of thing where Rockstar is yet to fuck up.

Saints 1 and 2 are classics, but it's downhill from there. Series went from being a legit GTA clone with just enough of it's own flavor, all the way down to chasing Ubisoft.

Yeah, this is going to be littered with commentary scolding you for enjoying the past games and wanting more of that. Can’t wait. Not that the past games were the high marks of comedy by any means but the games got increasingly ridiculous and absurd and just rolled with it, resulting in some fun ass games.

Weird ass focus group they picked for the character design.. these characters look like they are Tik tokers. I was a big fan of previous saint row games but this doesn’t scream saint row to me. It needs to represent gangs better and crime. This looks like fortnite to me.

Love that every slight built black man with glasses is always Urkel.

That doesn't have any subtext at all.

Four eyed skinny black nerd in highwaters and a bow tie reminds people of Urkel.

All this chatter is exactly what they want. Meanwhile, I won't be buying Saints Row on EGS because I don't support developers who have had sexual abuse charges leveled against them by the state on EGS. Disappointed in ResetERA.com for allowing hype threads about a game so tainted with misogyny and sexism simply to "own the gamers."

Quote
Would appreciate if people posted news regarding Hong Kong factually. Specifically, these amendments are being introduced in the HK legislature to bring film censorship in line with the National Security Law.

- These amendments aren't being passed by the CCP in mainland China to override HK law (though it's safe to assume they're pulling the strings here)
- These laws are not passed yet, they're being introduced next week (though there's probably little doubt they'll pass)

You don't need to invoke the CCP in everything to give the connotation that it's bad. These amendments are bad, let them speak for themselves without stretching the facts.
Quote
No, it's not the CCP, it's the HK government, and no, the laws haven't passed yet. These are material differences between the thread title and the actual linked article. You're welcome to say in discussion that the HK government are cronies and puppets of the CCP, I don't dispute that.

I'm just pointing out the difference between fact and misinformation and that the thread title is misleading and factually wrong. But I don't how why I even bother, there's zero room for nuanced discussion on topics like this here.
Quote
Because most in here are basically "Fuck China" everytime they see the CCP acronym mentioned.
Quote
I'm sorry for wishing news would be put forth as-is per the facts rather than with a personal bias attached. I can see people aren't willing to do that when it comes to certain news though. I'm out.

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION
The source in the OP has been updated as the Tweet wasn't wholly accurate and the article it linked was paywalled. The title has also been updated to use the one in the new article. Please make sure your sources are accessible and aren't filtered through social media. These are serious topics that deserve good sourcing.

As usual it's fine to criticize the government of any country but remember not to conflate the CCP and the people of China.

"Fuck China/CCP" is a frequent driveby that may be cathartic considering many of the Chinese government's actions. However, please keep in mind that it has also been weaponized by some against Asians in a racist and discriminatory manner. It's always best to express yourself in detail and, where possible, with nuance.

Do not let your anger and frustration from the news affect how you interact with each other here.
Quote
Wait, which is it? Don't conflate the CCP and China, or holding "Fuck China/CCP" as equal infractions? Because in previous threads posters have been asked to keep their critiques of the CCP specific, rather than generalizing China, and everyone in this thread has obliged. Literally, if you Ctrl+F "fuck china" in this thread, you only find results from posters worrying someone might say "fuck china", rather than anyone actually doing so.
Quote
Such a wonderful and reasoned response! I asked where any inflammatory "fuck China posts" were in this thread, and instead of being able to clarify what you meant you had to use inflammatory language against me. And then, when I reported this, you as a mod (or your mod pals) decided to retaliate against me by issuing a warning as opposed to taking criticism against staff here seriously. Well done. I'm sure I'll get a warning for this as well, but I really don't give a shit.

Don't expect to receive a response on this. This is exactly what I was asking, but the mod cannot take any questioning without getting angry. Let's see how long it takes for this thread to be locked, or this message deleted, or something along that nature.
Quote
Frankly, I feel that the derailment in these threads over this subject teeters on attempts to silence dissatisfaction with the CCP by accusing others of Sinophobia. Context is key here. As long as people aren't being straight up racist in their comments, the snide comments trying to split hairs and insulting other members (especially by mods) should be kept to a minimum.

Honestly speaking, this sounds a little bit too convenient for me.

I have no doubt that U.S. has one of the best military forces and intelligence agencies in the world, but it is just very difficult for one to believe that such an almighty force is able to find the planner behind a terrorist attack, pinpoint their exact location, and organize a surgical retaliation, while operating in an enemy-occupied zone, merely hours after the said attack, yet could not neutralize the attacker and stop this terrorist attack with over 200 casualties in the very first place. Wonders do happen, but if there were a group of people orchestrating this, they are trying a little bit too hard.

Well. I guess it’s more likely that they just happen to know a scapegoat who is not very innocent themselves, and get rid of that target for the sake of swift vengeance. Better than nothing.
 

Would it be possible that the world's biggest military intelligence agency might have a file or two of known terrorists operating in that area? Or are they just a bunch of try hards hitting random targets for lulz and Twitter likes.

Un fucking believable. And they permaban the guy who points out the obvious contradiction. On top of that they change the title like the CCP astroturfer suggested, even when he himself admits that the law will pass with no problem

Weird ass focus group they picked for the character design.. these characters look like they are Tik tokers. I was a big fan of previous saint row games but this doesn’t scream saint row to me. It needs to represent gangs better and crime. This looks like fortnite to me.

How does one look like they are in a gang and do crime?

I am going to keep asking until i get an answer

Meh, it seems pretty obvious that they lashed out at the nearest convenient target and then called it a retaliation against isis regardless of the truth. I mean sure it might have been a strike against ISIS but it's not like we'll ever know.

And yes, they are for sure hitting targets for lulz and twitter likes.

It's great to claim "we won't back down" when the game is planned to release in a few months. Yeah no shit. They already made their bed
