How much Epic pays for this kind of deal I wonder ? I will play on PS5 but it sucks for Steam users
...as much as i am leaning toward playing this game...imma still wait on that pc patch Volition promised for Saints Row 2...i feel the first game already set its own origin without having to be rewritten, the second really showed just how distinct it is from GTA WITHOUT being GTA, by the third its just overall glorious wacky fun, but by the forth and onward...its GTA-ish with a LOT of mods...even tho its not GTA...idk but i do hope they have a good story laid out...otherwise it'll be Rage 2 just wandering the endless desert...
...cause in the words of Johnny Gat: "The Saints name used to mean more than body spray and some ass-tasting energy drink."
Boss: "Our brand's worth a shitload of money."
Johnny: "Is that what it's all about?"

I genuinely have no idea how you got that idea, nor have I seen them say anything I would consider incorrect.I am just saying all this from what I have seen she somehow appears on my timeline everytime there is a drama in some random games fandom...
From Fighting games to Action games I guess she plays everything ? She is still trash I dont believe her
That's not really an indication on whether or not she is a trash person. I took a quick look at her TL and she was tweeting about GamerGate stuff, "focus groups", "Netflix Teen dramas", cancel culture. You know, the usual stuff for outrage culture internet people.I genuinely have no idea how you got that idea, nor have I seen them say anything I would consider incorrect.
I said many times why I think like that maybe less simping more reading my dude ?I genuinely have no idea how you got that idea, nor have I seen them say anything I would consider incorrect.
I guess you're right. In the end we can't really discuss the story until we've experienced it.The story has the potential to be good, or terrible, but both are complete speculation; to me, the post reads as saying that people shouldn't be upset or worried about the direction of the game because it could possibly be good or well written.
The people who are upset and worried by and large want the game to be good, and are hoping to be proven wrong. The holier than thou attitude, and the degrading insults (especially in the comment section of the post) are completely unnecessary.
Disenfranchisement and scarcity based crime isn't an exclusively modern day dilemma, that can apply to many parts of the world and history and is an intrinsic part of the human condition. When I say topical, in my mind I am thinking of direct, pretentious allegory to a modern day issue that the writer is strongly trying to enforce a view on. Again, it could very well be well written, but I often find that the best writing comes from creators who aren't insistent on the relevancy of their fiction, and instead let it stand for itself as a quality piece of media.
When they talk about paying off college via starting a criminal empire, that comes across to people as an indicator that the game is going to heavily emphasize the millennial hipster culture (for lack of a better term, feel free to mention one), that a lot of people find incredibly irritating and idiotic. If you are a known gangster or leading member of a criminal empire, the idea that you would still have the same concerns and somehow would be allowed into a university is a bit ludicrous. There is a difference between an educated criminal, or a undercover, disguised or corrupt way for a criminal to get a specific type of education, and the idea of a character who looks like they pretend to be a teenager on a disney channel show having the "relatable" issues of college debt whilst they murder and run a drug running syndicate.
None of this really matters, because I basically have the same concerns and thoughts, but what I took issue with is how toxic that post was, when it's essentially just hoping for the best.
But it is realistic for people with money problems to get into crime. And it is realistic for some of these to stay in the crime business if they realise that it's more lucrative or more enjoyable to them than whatever they were doing before.To the point of the discrepancy when it comes to realism between the characters motivations and the Marshall's sci-fi equipment: My point was not realism, but relevancy, and sci-fi is incredibly relevant. The biggest move franchise, the MCU, leans heavily on the sci-fi side. It's not realistic for people to build a criminal empire for paying of student debts. They'd do small crimes at best. But it is relevant that student debt is almost impossible to pay off with legitimate means unless you get incredibly lucky.
"Saints Row is a videogame and was never realistic" Unless you're specifically talking about the gameplay, this is objectively wrong. Most games have unrealistic gameplay in order for them to be fun, this doesn't mean their stories have to be unrealistic. Kevin's character is badly written, and the IDOLS may very well have the same problem.Saints Row is a videogame and was never realistic. Kevin is a popular DJ and if I am not wrong works for or worked for IDOLS the gang that show themselves everywhere,wearing all bright colors and called IDOLS also I am guessing they control certain parts of the city so they are not hidden and are known to people so no I dont agree Kevin looks perfect okay maybe he should wear a shirt but still
At least it's not as bad as World War Z.
I guess you're right. In the end we can't really discuss the story until we've experienced it.
Although I do personally believe that whether a story is explicitly relevant to contemporary issues or not, this has no bearings on the quality of the writing. A few examples I can give off the top of my head would be 1984, Dr. Strangelove and more recently Breaking Bad.
But it is realistic for people with money problems to get into crime. And it is realistic for some of these to stay in the crime business if they realise that it's more lucrative or more enjoyable to them than whatever they were doing before.
Even if we ignore the issue of realism there is still a clash of visuals and thematics between this faction and the rest of the world.
