I like that damaging a car to the "on fire and about to explode" point results in the driver (and passengers) stopping and trying to get out. It just feels so much smarter than the GTA "WE'LL EXPLODE TOGETHER, THEN" attitude.

Escort was my absolute most hated mission in this game and somehow I managed to forget that the clients would make requests from you before the pleasure meter would start filling again. All I remember was seething hatred towards the amount of vehicles you'd get thrown at you.

I like how when you get introduced to The Los Carnales(tm), it's one of the main dudes being bullied into abandoning his wife and letting a fat bald man make moves on her. The irony is a pretty good set up for having lost where they started.

DMorbid posted:I despise Killbane. Not in the "I want to kick this fucker's rear end for all the evil poo poo he's pulled" way they intended, but in the "I wish this terrible character and everything involving him wasn't in the game at all" way, which in wrestling is commonly (and slightly unfairly) known as "X-Pac heat." See, Killbane, I can drop wrestling lingo too, and mine is actually appropriate for the context! Yeah, the story goes from development that one of the senior devs was just a really big pro wrestling fan and wanted to have a "The Boss gets thrust into a wrestling storyline" bit, which is how we got Killbane.

Yeah, Killbane was not the best villain the series ever had. Honestly, the best villain I think was Zinyak. A refined, cultured, well educated rear end in a top hat with a wit was dry as the desert, whose entire goal in life seemed to be spoiling the Boss's fun.

Hey, Gat Out of Hell was great.  Tenebrais posted:Three manages to straddle the line fairly effectively, I think. The luchadores are definitely the silliest gang concept but Killbane pulls enough story weight to make it feel just enough like it works. Don't know if it would have helped for that game to have had its three gangs be more properly separate. SR4 and GOoH are obviously not trying to be the same type of game as SR1 and SR2, and I can see why that would be off-putting or disappointing if you wanted sequels more true to the series' origins; in fact, I'd be thrilled if someone made a modern version of a Saints Row 1 & 2 style game. But they're good, fun games on their own merits - although they do rely a bit heavily on set pieces, which can be tiresome if you're replaying them. But they work well the first time through. Saints Row the Third, though, can't decide what it's trying to be and ends up going in several different directions all at the same time.

Also, he wasn't refined and cultured, he just thought he was. Quoting Shakespeare like some highschool teacher's pet.

I suspect that the scene with the low ranking saints trying to kill that Lost Cornholios guy was trying to show off how cool, tough and dangerous whatshisname is but only succeeding at making the saints look like incompetent morons.

In case you were wondering why the Saints are in control of so little territory to start the game, consider that they sent the new guy to take out a weapons factory, alone, with four bombs with the combined explosive power to level said factory presumably shoved into his cargo pants pockets. I love my Series S but fuuuuuuck am I kinda wishing I'd splurged for an X now that I'm watching SR1 again.

Dang, well, I guess even Victor can’t stand up to rapid fire and an exploding car. I usually see him put up more of a fight in LPs of this game. Kudos to the developers for mission variety- GTA is usually just blow up everything and kill everyone, this game has you not blowing up too much, dangerous graffiti, and home defense.

 Episode 6: Last Year's Fall Collection Today, we finish up the Carnales missions and deal with Angelo once and for all (after some severe cutscene idiocy - I mention GTA IV, but that one scene is *so* stupid it honestly wouldn't look out of place in Mass Effect 3). The episode title will at least make sense in context. The main gang storylines really aren't very long at all, so all three of them will fit nicely into about three episodes each. I'm going to assume that is why Volition decided to force you into the side activities to earn respect, because the game would be only about six hours long if you could just mainline the story missions and complete all of them without retrying a bunch.

When you stash a car, is it one copy or permanent access to it? Is unlocking a car distinct from that?

And yes, it is objectively better to destroy a vehicle and get it automatically repaired for free than to leave it in a state of disrepair or take it to a mechanic. But after a short while you'll have enough money coming in that you won't care.

It's my low-key favourite improvement the Saint's Row series made over GTA - once you've stashed a car you don't have to take care to return it to your garage any time you take it out. You can spend a bunch of time and money customising a great car with all the conveniences, and be able to regularly use it!

One has to wonder about how Troy knows so much about the local police station and its evidence room. Oh well, Stillwater’s justice system is messed up anyway- what does it matter? And Dex, you go back and forth on your competence and bravery- where exactly do you see your future with this gang? Oh well, at least the bad grammar is over with the demise of Los Carnales- I hope.

 Episode 7: The Need for Speed (Demo Derby/Street Racing) We're about to move on to the Westside Rollerz, and since those guys are a bunch of Fast & Furious rejects it's probably a good idea for us to hit the street racing scene in Stilwater to hone our skills. For some reason, YouTube is claiming it's still processing the video even though the 1440p version is already done.

It's nice that it lets you bring whatever vehicle and then tries to make it fair, even if that doesn't work perfectly. Excellent finish line. Just DQ wrecks afterwards and there's hope for those behind!

Cooked Auto posted:https://twitter.com/Nibellion/status/1428729254527868934 One new Saints Row idea I've had in the back of my head for years is "the ending of SR1 turning out very differently and leading to an alternate SR2" (I'm being as vague as possible here because this is ostensibly a no-spoilers thread) and I'm kinda hoping they do something like that!

The only downside to your plan there is I can't figure out how they'd recreate that iconic line from the start of SR2. And that line is powerful and good. so y'know, we'll see! SR1 could really, really use a reboot if they're going to reboot any. I'd follow that up shortly with 'actually finish SR3' because it really felt half baked.

To be honest at this point I’d take a Saints Row 1&2 remastered double pack. Given how the SR franchise has gone, I’m not sure a reboot would avoid some of the zaniness of 3/4.

I don't know if they can realistically go from zero to bonkers with a remake. Part of what makes SR3 and 4 work was that you had the ramp-up of the prior games. By the time Saints Row 2 came out, your character had proven themself as a stonecold badass, so it allowed them to get away with being a ball of crazy in the second game. And that being a mass of chaotic insanity in SR2 make it easy to just ramp up the whole world being completely insane by 3.

 Episode 8: Little Boxes (Westside Rollerz Activities) With the street races done, it's time to move on to the rest of the Westside Rollerz activities and get immensely frustrated along the way. The Suburbs instance of Trafficking is the worst and I hate it.

A lot of people apparently watched the trailer and concluded that there was no character customisation. If they'd taken five seconds to check the official site they'd have seen it already said the game includes "our most extensive character creator ever". Oh, and here's the trailer, in case anyone was looking for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgjzDJA1o1E And the announcement on the official site. Looks good, imo.
