Most annoying things in the SR Series?

They did say they were doing a reboot, so for all we know Gat Out Of Hell was just the last inclusion in the 'stupid and insane' era of the Saints Row franchise.

Well Volition made it clear in several interviews that SR4 and Gat Out of Hell are going to be the last games in the "DERP, POP CULTURE REFERENCES, LOL SO RANDOM! HURR!" incarnation. Combine that with the fact that there are two endings they could use for SR5 which I like to call the "Retcon" and "Earth 2.0" endings respectively. Lastly according to some interviews SR3 was supposed to be much MUCH more different than what we got in the final product. For example Shaundi trying to overcome her survivors guilt, Steelport being much more detailed (yeah i know right?http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net...tskirts.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120827231851), an unknown faction (presumably STAG) during act 2 of the games story having an undercover operator infiltrate the Saints, and at one point the bridge scene was originally a charity concert and press conference being held by the Saints in Stilwater where the Luchadores launch a series of bombings and shootings throughout the city. (As a result several of the characters from SR2 were axed from the attacks which might explain why they never show up or are barely mentioned in the final game).

If that's true, then faith to the story writer has been restored...

But at the same time, I hope it's not Saints Row 1 with HD graphic.

I don't see how you can trust the writers again. Just because they might be ending the "stupid" era of Saints Row, doesn't mean they won't just write a "Stupid Version 2.0".

Damn straight.

Faith in story writer: Lost -- again.

Let's just wait for the trailer before we decide.

In SRTT and SRIV one nice feature that impressed me at first is the player character facial editer in Image As Designed.

As a player of this game that has the camera view set from an external spherically moving perspective,
it is your player character that is always seen midscreen throughout the entire game.

It's kind of like your character is the star of a movie.

So it would make sense that you would want a character that you wouldn't mind seeing for extended periods of time.

Personally, I prefer a beautiful woman with a nice face that has a sexy and tough look that gives the impression
that she's a slut that can also kick ass.

In order to give her that 'sexy and tough look' requires some very fine adjustments of the sliders to get it just right.

It's probably safe to say that besides the continuity of the story line and some of the gameplay, that as far as
the single most annoying thing about the SR series ( SRTT and SRIV ) is while you are editing your player character's face, the head continuously keeps moving and turning from side to side, back and forth, left to right and right to left.

C'mon, you gotta agree, that has got to be the most annoying thing of all.

 

[srnewbie]

Well, yeah. The first time I use the creator, the character keeps turning head everytime I adjust the camera.

I was like "The f*ck is wrong with her?!"

most annoying thing in the SR series ?
how SR3 has integrated cheats that are part of the gameplay, sure you could say then don't use them
buuuuut as a MinMax player I like to take advantage of all, I just wish some "beyond hardcore" difficulty would exist that would disable :
- total invulnerability to bullets, explosive, fire, fall .... (it could be 80% you'd still take damage and have a sense of playing something)
- infinite ammo while not completely gamebreaking still is too much, you could have a last upgrade multiplying ammo by 10 without it being unlimited
- no reloads upgrade again between a reload that takes 0.1s to make and no reload at all is a huge difference
it basically means some of the weapon upgrades are worthless because they just increase the clip size
- cheaty DLC or make your life even easier as if the game wasn't easy already: now that one is tricky but I feel like getting a tank or a VTOL right away is just too much
Look at Payday 2 for example, they made a lot of DLC, most of it has to be bought and upgrades have to be earned one way or another...
I don't mind cheaty DLC but when you have DLC adding content, it should be optional to get it right away.
As it is, it's annoying cause one has to disable DLC selectively or use mods which don't fix all.

-And finally please make an official option to skip introduction missions mainly for modders but also for players
it's annoying to start the game then after 30 minutes of play notice that your savedgame is fucked because you already have tanks & vtols ... and have to start over
then you test and restart & test & restart ....


all these just basically remove gameplay elements
When I was younger I liked to play with cheats, games were a lot more difficult to me at that time and I didn't mind to cheat at all (in singleplayer that is)
nowadays it annoys me. It would be awesome if Volition were to make such a difficulty available right off the bat

 

[srnewbie]

^ The reason why I skip some upgrades that basically makes you invincible.

Then turn the difficulty to Hardcore. I can feel the difference as I keep doing tiger jump to get away from those Olegs.

that SR4 is much more restrictive over what headgear can have glasses than sr3. the warrior princess helm cannot be matched with the morningstar glasses in sr4 for example, while they can be in sr3
