The Bore gives Saint's Row a 8.5/10 based on this comically large check that I received this morning from Deep Silver. It was only made out for $25 though, which is why I unfortunately was not able to award it 9.0+ Platinum Certified GOTM status.

And now the usual suspects online with use this as ammo against it for "going woke" with an inclusive main cast.

Are there even many who complain about the cast? The Saints Row Cast has always been diverse. What they haven't been is a bunch of hipsters who instagram their last meal. This feels more like Resetera saw diverse characters and then concluded that this is the only possible reason people could dislike the game.


The story also seems to do politics the Resetera way, just mention capitalism and student loans here and there without having anything real to say and then wait for people to pat you on the back.

What's "inclusive" about the main cast in this one exactly? Especially compared to the cast of, say, IV.

Saints Row most popular character of the group was Johnny, an Asian guy. You had characters like Shaundi, Lin…where the hell has Era gotten this idea that the Saints were all a stereotypical group of tatted up straight white dudes you might find at a local Planet Fitness?  :lol

Quote from: Ars Technica
It's rare that I go to this much trouble to dissuade people from buying a video game. I can be nitpicky or critical about perfectly solid games for one reason or another, but I know tastes can vary, so I try to make room for my experiences not necessarily reflecting other players'. But Saints Row is such a mess in its current state that I would only recommend it to Twitch streamers who make a living out of riling up their chat feeds. That's all this is: the 2022 video game equivalent of The Room or Showgirls, a spectacle to be experienced with a group... and not for the reasons its creators intended.

Verdict: Avoid.

Wait, they  played the “hipsters becoming cool criminals” totally straight?

I didn’t exactly loved Saints Row writing, even if most people love it after 2, but there was a hint of self awareness about their audience and how silly everything is.

People have fond memories of SR3, whereas a lot of those same people have been looking for any reason to hate on the new game. If the game was exactly the same but called "Saint's Row 5" with Gat and Shaundi in it, it would be celebrated.

But people like Gat and Shaundi… and that didn’t save Gat out from Hell to be hated.

Wouldn't they have to change the game's narrative quite a bit to make it a sequel with well known characters who are already characterized? If they just stuck the old characters in a fifth game but took away all the characterization and humor they think people would love it?

You counting literal points explains a lot about the style of discussions in this thread, honestly.

You know what, I'm good. I'm not planning to convince you on anything because what's the point, I'm saying there's plenty who love what you call "tedium" and with it being the core of the game there's little sense complaining about it. I love it, many others do, menus suck for immersion, the end.

People are out here in the thread being all logical, saying: You gave all this money to the church, where is your proof your prayers work? Where is your miracle? Why ur kid died in an accident even though you prayed to God every day for his protection?

The faithful: You don't understand...

You continue: "The cardinals are living large. So are the megachurch pastors with their private jets, mansions, everyday luxuries, their every need attended to by a large staff. Rubbing elbows with the rich and powerful, buying Yachts... "How is this not a scam?" you ask the faithful.

The faithful: Jesus brought peace to my heart and you either have faith or you don't. It's all about faith. God's plan is mysterious and so forth.

I think faith in Chris Roberts' dream brings peace & joy to hundreds of thousands and they're not thrilled when people attack something that is valuable to them. They use their imaginations. They understand that it's about the journey, not the destination. Plus, no real game that ever releases will meet all their expectations, so isn't it best if the game only ever exists in their minds? In the mind, there is no limit to the Peta-flops you can use to render, no annoying bugs, no engine to replace, no shaders to compile! Everything gets created instantly and is discarded instantly when needed with infinite LoDs. Imagination. It's the blueprint to the future!

Once again, if I am to use a comparison to religion, Heaven is the release of Star Citizen. The game will be the most immersive ever. You will have to manually squeeze that morning shit "Press S to take a shit" and you will feel those vibrations and the splash of water because you're sitting butt naked on one of the game's numerous premium accessories: The Startoilet 2000, which you then have to empty manually. You really should've sprung for the 4000 model; it comes with real plumbing so you'll have a toilet in your room! but you bought a digital ship instead.

They didn't even diffuse the lights and just put up a strip.
 :donot

Their husband is probably getting fucking blinded by that shit.  That really is the kind of lighting job a child would do. Just put some lighting in the back of the TV and if you really want more, Govee makes a glide bar that looks nice enough on a wall and is properly diffused.  Or just stick with the RGB bulbs in the ceiling. That way the living room can actually look normal instead of like a teenager's bad take on a video arcade.

things are only good if every aspect of their creation is good



new saints row is inclusive, touches on the correct side of every cultural issue, maybe the team is led by minorities with their unique perspectives and the culture at volition is one that values worker input, offers everyone loads of vacation, no crunch, and 5 star rated at glassdoor

and yet at the wrap party, the pizza was from papa johns, which makes the entire endeavor insidious when you think about it

Holy shit  :lol

They still think they are killing HBO Max outright.

Quote
As it seems like HBO MAX is now heading in the wrong direction, and with many shows, not just original content, that are set up to probably get removed, it's time to start sifting through the shows that are still there, and help each other find some gems in the rough.

Also, most of the shows they are recommending are HBO produced, not HBOMax.

There is a lot of valid criticism to Warner/Discovery, but their reactions are like the corp is dying ala MoviePass.
