You did this, /v/.
>>733646638Cool it with the victim blaming, op
>>733646647does Embracer do anything right?
>>733646638>Saints RowWho?
>>733646638It's been dead since SR3.
>>733646638It's honestly for the better, I wish it would have been deader so the reboot would have never happened.
>>733646638guys i'm not sure but I think Abraham Lincoln is dead
>>733646638them censoring rimjobs showed what kind of people were working on this even way before it released
>>733646638And I'll do it again. You'll never own that new house by not pandering to me.
>>733646638>/v/ made an boring, uninspired 3rd person shooter, slapped Saints Row on the title and then antagonized everyone who called it shit on twitter.I don't remember doing that.
Look, 3 sucked ass, 4 was the nail in the coffin.
I went to eb games and saw bloodlines 2 and was like huh that game came out already damn I won't buy it
>>733646837It is like... We didn't do anything!
>>733646837>"It's not for YOU chud." "Don't like it? Don't buy it!" "You were never a real fan." "We don't care what talentless freaks think.">okay>game bombs>"WHY DID OUR GAME FAIL? IT'S THE CHUDS' FAULT FOR NOT BUYING IT...THIS IS ECONOMIC TERRORISM ON LGBBQ FOLK OF COLOR!"I'm pretty much done with western games. Some indies look good but for the most part I feel like I'm getting ripped off, sold a movie, or preached at. It's not fun.
>>733646638Everyone that had any sort of say in that Saints Row reboot should get buried alive.
>>733646638their last game was over 10 years ago.
Game + fun = shekelsIt's not that hard.
>>733646638but I didn't do anything, they told me I wasn't the target audience
>>733646638they did it to themselves
>>733646905Who are you quoting?
>>733646638I would have gotten excited for a proper SR game that tripled the amount of busty female enemies in bikinis and had your masculine faction going up against an assortment of masculine enemy factions with plenty of brutality on the horizon.I feel like if I played the reboot, once per hour, a character would reach through the screen and give me an estrogen injection. No thanks.
>>733646638It's time to execute all the devs who had a hand in this game. They committed a crime against humanity and must be dealt with appropriately
Oh no Anyways
>>733646638In my defence, I didn't buy any of the previous games either.
No frickin way
>>733646638>put out game full of sexually ambiguous retards and other woke shit>"Its not for you, its for the modern audience!">nobody buys it>studio dies>IP diesThat modern audience always seems to disappear at the most critical time
>>733646638Huzzah!
>>733646647>remember when we got excited about a saints row prequel???No?
>>733646638>The franchise is dead>but the publisher who killed it still owns the rights to it
The modern audience failing to buy this did it, not /v/.
>>733646638Oh no, the faggots that made the reboot won't get the chance to further rape the franchise. :(
>>733646638>You did this, /v/.GET WOKE, GO BROKE!!!
>>733646875I felt this way too, it's like the fanbase was transplanted for a different one between 2 and 3.
>>733646638It will always be impressive to me how Volition managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.>>733646647Shame this new reboot push seems to be going nowhere. Its money on the table.
>>733647616Doesn't even make sense. A Saints Row prequel would be a camera shot inside a womb showing a baby gestating
>>733646638Have they considered making a good SR game that isn't 2?
>>733646638HUZZAH
>>733646638lol
>>733647847Lets not act as if previous Saint Row games werent also shitTheir only selling point was the fanservice and 90s slapstick comedy. Of course that if you remove that you end with a game no one wants to touch
>>733646638>Censor all the humor>Replace cast with the Crime-Nerd Avengers>Make the game boringMassive step back in every conceivable way. Why did they think people would eat it up?
>>733646638The series has been dead since 3. The "games" after 3 are just the reanimated corpse of the series being paraded around for money by corporate assholes.
>>733647970Your opinion is your own. The facts are that the games had an audience, and said audience was very clear about what they wanted from the IP. And Volition continuously ignored them, right up until the end.
>>733648065They wanted crap like this?
>>733648134Do you know how to read? Or are you just pretending to be retarded?
3 and 4 were fine, they tried something different and it worked. if you want a gta clone, then go play gta itself, cocksucking cumguzzling faggots.
>>733648194I said "previous" games were also shit, how am I wrong?
>>733648313You're just pretending to be retarded for (You)s, got it.
>>733647981>Replace cast with the Crime-Nerd AvengersIt feels like crazy common trend for modern creatives to make everything resemble the dynamics and vibes of what the creatives probably experienced in their high school and college peer groups. The newest Star Trek show Starfleet Academy is one of the worst offenders in that ever.
>>733646638Only played 2 or 3, can't remember anymore, the one where that hero song played during last mission, but it wasn't that good, way too video gamy, compared to GTA 4 that felt more alive.
>>733647616
>>733646638>saints wokeone job
It's good to just let it go at this point. Been a fan of the series since 1 came out on 360. Even if the original devs got together, deepsilver or whoever is publishing it is going to meddle and just ruin it. It's been raped enough. If some OG devs and passionate fans got together to make an open world crime game it'd be better to move it completely away from the Saints Row name, call it something else, and keep it relatively indie.
>>733647193ur mum
>>733646720fpbp
>>733648472A lot of the current crop of writers seem incapable of writing things outside of the current time period too. In shit like Red Dead 2 (to a small extent) or Mass Effect Andromeda. You have these time periods and characters far removed from modern day, but the characters always act or have the beliefs of modern day people and their issues.
It's not like they weren't warned. As soon as the very first info about nuSaintsRow dropped, there was immediate loud and vocal backlash from the whole community. Not some niche corner of the internet. But the whole fucking fanbase.And they ignore it.They got what they deserved for ruining that franchise. Fuck them.
>>733646638>You did thisBut I did nothing again?
>>733648204Nah. 3 and 4 were the only SR games I played and albeit it had it's fun moments, it's still a bad game.
>>733647581They want other people to buy and suffer through this garbage for them so that they can parade it around. Typical leftists.>>733647770Exactly. Don't get mad at those evil heterosexual white male gamers who your franchise doesn't need anymore! Go yell at Shaniquas at activist NGOs and at LGBT-themed subreddits. That's who the game is for now.>We can't yell at them! You're the only group that we're allowed to yell at! And half of the point of this was to be a humiliation ritual for you! YOU were supposed to buy this and despair over how this isn't for you anymore!And you wonder why a culture has formed that celebrates the implosion of western AAA. You guys can be the ones who get the humiliation ritual.
>make sequel completely different from previous game>fans don't buy it>woe is me how could this happen wow
>>733646638Not our fault if the game is mediocre.Next time put more effort doing an actually fun game.
>>733648885i think it's because it was soulless and wokeall the passionate, right thinking straight white men have left the industry for whatever reason and they are the only ones who have the spark
>>733646638This was an entirely unforced error on Volition's part.
>>733647069Look, it's not rocket science. This works when you're attacking a mob of Karens who hate your customers and want to take away their fun. The customers will want to join in on the party. If you attack your customers on behalf of the Karens, you're in for a bad time.That's why kicking up controversy used to work but doesn't anymore. It's not that it's popular and profitable to agitate for the left. It's that it's popular and profitable to agitate against Karen, whether she's a carrying a Bible or a feminist flag.
>>733648204>it workedclearly.
I think my favorite part about this thread is how no one bothers to look into who is actually making the comment in OP's image.
Is saints row the only series where the previous game is garunteed better than the next?1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > GooH > RebootLike yeah you could argue 2 was better than 1 but i felt 1 had better more memorable characters
>>733649273Does it really matter?The franchise is definitely dead.
>>733649307>Does it really matter?It does when half the comments in the thread reference a game he had no involvement with and paint him as responsible for the series' failure.
>>733646638In an ideal world, the reboot would have reset the atmosphere to SR2.That was the perfect spot where it was a little less grounded than GTA without being outright goofy. I loved the villain factions in that game.
>>733648204Hay retard, you don't have the Saint's Row reboot without Volition actively undermining the actual gang drama in the first two games and only focusing on the humor to a retarded degree. Literally Volition ruined the series by making the comedy the focus rather than the actual drama between the Stilwater Saints.>>733649279I'd say 1 = 2 more or less and liking one over the other is a matter of preference, but the rest of that list is on point.
>>733647581When are devs going to realize the modern audience isn't real? How many games need to bomb first?
>>733646638It's dead for 15 years already
Deep Silver mishandled this hard, With the wait for GTA 6 they could've been releasing something and capitalizing. My ideal New Saints Row>After 4 came out they should've upgraded the engine, improved upon it. Every Saints row game so far is the same engine as 1 for Xbox360>New Map that's heavily inspired by a mix of Detroit, Chicago, Brazil >Pimping gang, Drug Narcotics gang, Cartel Human trafficking type gang>Scrap that reboot story instead, your new boss is some 19 year old loser watching tv on his grandmas couch when he comes across an interview of the Boss from the previous gangs, the old boss talks about how he joined the saints and built into to what it is today. The new boss sees this and gets inspired, he decides to start his own gang>Leaning into the customization roots of Saints Row you make a logo, color, and name for your gang>The new boss and his friend hit the streets, start recruiting, and making a name for themselves>Bring back multiplayer component, an online that can rival gta 5 online, some sort of shared server, where each player is a gang and they can squabble over territories, once a player has a territory there guy's start to spawn in >You can still co-op campaign but now you can invade other people's sessions and start doing takeovers on their territory>Overall lean back into the crime, gangster hood shit, grounded at the beggining, gets wackier as it goes on but never loses the plot
SR2 was nice and is my favorite. I can dee why they did SR3 like they did because it was the conplete opposite of GTA4.Focus on the fun/wacky stuff from 2 but turn it up to the next level. I like 3 but it was something completely different but still very good.Volition themself split their player base and then completely ignored the fans that liked 2 more. One the same hand they invested basically nothing in the next games which were all glorified DLCs to SR3. The reboot was complete shit. Fans/testers and even some of their own developers hated it but upper management pushed for all the modern audience stuff. The social media team did the rest
>>733649717you fags act like your opinion's the only one that matters when there were plenty of people who liked both the drama and the humor and didn't care as much about the games getting wackier
>>733649401>paint him as responsible
>>733649786The simple fact of the matter is that the people in charge of the big companies WANT to force a future of woke slop. This is about ego and social points, and on the very top levels, genocide and enslavement.I really hate to think like this, but having watched these people for a long time, it just seems like the most likely future so long as we do nothing but vote and buy. Once cloud computing has been sufficiently adopted (so maybe like 2032), they'll try to make it so that they own all computing and nothing outside of their ecosystem can be created or played. Don't expect JD Vance or whoever the Democrat is to save you; they'll help just like Trump did with Tiktok. Expect them to maybe back off of wokeness a bit more in order to ease you in.
I liked Saints Row 4 enough that my thought after playing it was "Saints Row is dead. Long live Saints Row." I'd have been fine with them making more games in that style (it's not like Crackdown or Prototype are around anymore) but they barely even tried with Gat out of Hell and veered off with whatever the hell Agents of Mayhem was. The devs obviously didn't have any more interest in continuing the franchise by then, so of course the fans moved on, and weren't gonna come back for that shitty reboot.The people in charge killed Saints Row. The fans just skipped the funeral.
>>733646638No, pretty sure people who hated saint's row somehow ending up in charge of making a saint's row game did that.
>>733647581>>733649786my head cannon is that the modern audience exists but they usually ACK themselves before the game comes out
>>733646647Nobody was ever excited for a prequel. This franchise has been dead for almost a decade. SR3 divided the fanbase amongst itself, SR4 divided the halves into more halves and shat on three quarters of the fanbase, and Gay out of Hell was effectively a memorial service for the franchise’s death. I also like how everyone forgets that this isn’t even the first time the franchise got rebooted, Agents of Mayhem was their previous attempt at rebooting the franchise and nobody gave a shit at that point. This franchise died with SR4
The nothing will continue until the industry learns.
>>733646875I agree. 4 isn't even fun to play for more than an hour because you start out with superpowers. It's like the entire game had cheats permanently activated, it was entirely trivial and a waste of time. 3 was only merely ok but not much better. I actually don't think 2 is a great game either though.>>733647970The only reason this even became a franchise was because the first game beat Grand Theft Auto to the Xbox 360 and PS3 gen. The first one is the only good one but it filled a brief power vacuum and the rest of the franchise sucked because GTA 4 already existed at that point and did it all better.
>>733646905kitty :3
>>733647970Saints row was the madtv to GTA's SNL.
>>733646638Remember when a dying man spent the last years, months, weeks and days of his life fixing the Saints Row 2 PC port and when he died they essentially said fuck him and didn't finish or release it?
>>733646638I didn't do anything.
>>733650790I have no idea who thinks this gay shit is cool, but they need to be completely removed from every creative industry.
>>733651236The Professor
>>733648409Apparently you can’t read either
>>733646638>Saints woeAm I the only one that laughed at this?
>>733650425Yeah, they're definitely trying to usher in woke ideology by giving you zero options that aren't woke. What they forgot is there is always the option not to engage with it at all. That's why every entertainment industry is on shaky ground right now. People just stop engaging with you and that is the death knell these egomaniacal retards didn't want to listen to. Now they're suffering and that's a good thing.
I thought the reboot was okay as its own thing, but the Saints name really didn't belong on it.
>>733646638Good.
>>733648852>We can't yell at them! You're the only group that we're allowed to yell at!That's a good point, they can't say anything to the protected groups, that's why chuds are labeled economic terrorists despite literally doing nothing. If your audience doesn't support your games it doesn't matter that some reviews say "it's woke shit", that shouldn't stop them.
>>733646638>Make the new Saints gentrified millennials instead of Soundcloud rappers, hypebeasts, wiggers, etc>Last piece of content was the Saints larping with a literal GoT LARP group that's not tied to anything crime-related like drug trafficking>"Wait why did no one buy our game?"
>>733646638I mean saints row died after 3 so this isn't really news
>>733650096>I like 3 but it was something completely different but still very good.Even if 3 wasn't crazy wacky, I still think it's boring and bad just looking purely at the gameplay. The activities are barely there and most of the 'story' missions are just introducing you to the activities. I think the drastic change in presentation helped people forget that, even evaluating it on its own merits, it wasn't a very good game. It was extremely rushed and lacking in content.
>>733646638Good
>>733647069It was all me. I killed them. I will kill again.
>>733646638>Sad Newsnah man, it's better than they let it rest in piss
>>733646638They made the choice to make Agents of Mayhem and Nu-Saints Row. Fuck em.
>>733646638That’s fine
It's perfectly fine for a series to have a few or even just one entry and end. We don't need endless sequels that go on forever made by entirely different generations of people.
They never said this game was for the modern audience. That’s just a silly, notion that lives in your head with no connection to reality. Simply admit you were scared to see something new and different and so didn’t support an evolving series.
>>733646638Literally who cares about this franchise???
>>733654051>They never called that stinky brown stuff on your plate a turd. That’s just a silly, notion that lives in your head with no connection to reality. Simply admit you were scared to taste something new and different and so didn’t try it.
>>733646638patch for 2 any day now
>>733654592>Use your dev resources on this abhorrent reboot and don't even manage to dedicate a sandwich and one coder to granting the last wish of a cancer-ridden man on his death bed that you promised to fulfillThis is the real evil of trannies at Volition.
>>733646638what is it with the retards adding [Sad/Good News] to their posts?
>>733646638>You did this, /v/.But I didn't do anything???
>>733655604>tranniesRent free.
>>733647787The most sane Knuckles self inserter.
>>733646638i only played 3 and 4 and loved them the issue is that they literally stopped making saints row games for no reasonthey made a super turbo shit zoomer parody game and called it "saints row" but it wasn't they actually don't know if a new game would sell or not because they didn't even try
>>733656403It's been happening for a few years now anon.
Yeah right. Don't lump me in with those fucktwats
>>733656537Lock him up that's an admission
>/vpol/ says the game is le woke le sjw le reddit>find someone who actually played the game>he found none of that shit is even true and the game is actually kind of funGee, do I believe the schizophrenics with an agenda, or the person who actually engaged with the topic?
>>733656403It's a meme that mimics certain game journalist outlets.
>>733656538>Rent free.>>733657081>Gee, do I believe the schizophrenics with an agenda, or the person who actually engaged with the topic?
>>733657081Is the person who actually engaged with the topic in the room with us? No, not the ones calling you a disingenuous retard nigger, the one you mentioned.
>Seemingly had no idea what they wanted SR3 to be, so it straddles this weird line between being overly comedic and trying to be serious while failing at both>Entire missions where just activities.>SR4 just says fuck it all and goes full retard with the aliens/timetravel/super power shit>Next SR after this is the saints but a bunch of retarded liberal college kidsWhat did they expect to happen
>>733646638SR only found a place because R* was in a period of no fun allowed and muh serious story with gta4. Once GTA Online got goofy as fuck with flying cars and shit, SR became irrelevant.
>>733657178>LOOK AT THIS RANDOM TRANNY ON TWITCH THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME!!!!!Moot should have never brought back /pol/.>>733657183Are you just incapable of having a conversation without regurgitating memes you saw someone else post before? The person in question might browse here, might now. I saw his videos with opinions average viewcount is like 5 so I'm not talking about some paid eceleb or anything, just some random guy on the internet.
>>733657178You kinda proved him right with that webm. If it was related to SR it would have made sense but no you're the one that saved a webm of some tranny dancing
Rip
>>733657081>>733657374Just go play the game yourself.Who knows, you may be part of that mythical modern audience they've been searching for for so long.
>>733657517>he can't make one single, solitary post without memespewing
>>733657572What the fuck are you even talking about?
>>733657374I never thought the game was SJW shit but very annoying millennial writing shit (which it is). The gameplay looks fine but SR is more than just the gameplay.
>>733646638I think it's dead, says man who hit it with a shovel until it stopped moving and then pissed on corpse
>>733654592The Juiced Patch will set you free.
>>733655604According to trust-me-bro rumors the patch exists and is in a reasonably playable state, but it's in the hands of Volition's discord clique who won't release it because fuck you that's why.
>>733649878>your new boss is some 19 year old loser watching tv on his grandmas couchStopped reading there.Your boss should not have a disclosed age in the story, your boss should be what ever the fuck you want him to be.Maybe I want him to be a cantankerous old fuck.
>>733656887They made Gat Outta Hell which was horrible and sold horribly and then Agents of Mayhem which did mediocre. So I'm really not sure what you're trying to say unless you were actually just unaware of these games and didn't fact-check before posting.
>>733657374>Moot should have never brought back /pol/.>>733657391>You kinda proved him right with that webm. If it was related to SR it would have made sense but no you're the one that saved a webm of some tranny dancing
>>733659386You continue to prove that anon right. You are obsessed with these freaks.
>>733647069Holy shit it's been 5 years, what the fuck
>>733659416You’re the one who notices the videos. Who’s obsessed now, hmm?
>>733658627yeah they were both bad games, and neither of them was saints row 5. they are not a measure of how saints row 5 would have gone. you're literally using the same wrong reasoning the managers are using.
