FUCK YOU YOU STUCK UP BITCH YOU WERE THE WORST PART OF IV AND HORRIBLE IN THE THIRD FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU
Does anyone else have a problem with the PS4 version of Gat Out of Hell simply not recognizing SR4 save data? I've beaten 4 and I just keep seeing the default character when I start up Gat.
How's Gat Out Of Hell?? it isfun?
>male boss
Absolutely disgusting
>>340099835
new saints row when ? :(
volition is making agents of mayhem
>>340101771
It's alright, i got it from a price glitch for 5 bux, id say its about worththat. Good if you wanted more SR IV
Should there be a Saints Row 5? Or should the series be rebooted?
>>340101820
ur a faget
>>340101820
>Not being bros with based Gat
nigga u nasty
>>340101489
In Gat Out of Hell you play as a Gat or kinzie
>>340101209
I'd complain, but her alvin and the chipmunks voice gives me a savage chub.
>>340101771
less than others but still fun
>tfw no saints row 5
>>340101938
It's kinda hard to make another game since the earth was fucking blasted
>>340100517
that intro mission gave me goosebumps
I DON'T WANNA CLOSE MY EYES
>>340102105
They got the time machine though.
>>340102105
there was no canonical ending in GooH
>>340101938
Reboot at this point, where else is there to go, save for time travel? All we can hope for i a Saints Row 2 sequel
>>340101938
I say fuck it. Make a Saint's Row 5. Saint's Row 4 opened up a time travel thread that could be interesting--something Assassin's Creed-esque without the bad gameplay and the ultra-serious bullshit.
You don't even have to include all of the superpowers from SR4. That can be a one-time thing.
I'd buy saints row 1&2 remastered I never played it that much before.
Thin Lizzy is fucking awful, holy shit.
>>340101994
Yes, but the playable character from 4 is supposed to transfer over to Gat in cutscenes. This is not happening in my game.
>>340102263
The 50's segments in IV were really fun
Saints row 2 was fantastic. Everything released after 2 was fucking dogshit. Fuck anyone who thinks otherwise. You're wrong.
>>340102423
Yeah, I forgot. The same thing in my game but I didn't mind it.
>>340102527
Not much of a debate to be had there.
>>340102527
>Not wanting to beat aliens with a fucking penis
>>340102143
Even after the disappointment from the third, that was the moment I realized SR IV could (in a way) redeem the series. And damn did it ever.
>>340102527
If you accept IV as "nu-saints row", its infinitely better than the third, and honestly was a wicked fun crackdown game with loads of fan service for long time fans.
SERIES POWER RANKING:
SR 2 > SR IV > SR 1 >>>THQ DEBT GAP>>> SR TT
The only shit game was SRTT desu senpai
>>340102217
The Saints fucking shit up throughout history would be pretty fucking fun, actually.
>>340102217
They already stated it would be a reboot, didn't they? I mean, there's no earth anymore.
SR 1 > SR 3 > SR2 > SR IV > Gat
>>340102920
sort of, see
>>340102201
>ITT: Saint's Row fans pretend Saint's Row 2 is better than 3
HERE WE GO AGAIN
>>340102972
SR 2 >>>>>>>SR 4 >>> SR >>>>>>SR 3
2 is one of the hidden gems of the last generation
If they came out with a saints row game for ps4 it should have saints row 1,2, and 3 for $29.99
>>340102972
IV was really fun, it has everything that i'll expect from a Saints Row game, plus superpowers
>>340102920
They had a time machine at the end of the game, and the secret ending had the characters return as detectives, a throwback to the original Saints Row concept. I wouldn't mind the cop idea, And I hope they go through with it.
>>340102972
>>340103151
Seriously? How can someone honestly like TT more?

>>340103467
also the story felt like amateur fan fiction at best, what happened to the Boss that NOBODY fucked with, the one who essentially was the antagonist of 2, except they won at the end?
What does this fag even do at Volition? Clean their dicks?
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN AGAIN!!
>>340103585
>>340103796
Are you for fucking cereal?
>>340102837
You know your shit, IV suprised the fuck out of me by including stuff from SR1.
But I still think that 1 is better then IV, the gameplay while more basic is still fun and the map of IV is still shit (and the combat gets old really fast).
The best part of IV for me was how it felt like a love letter to the entire series and that doesnt really hold up on its own, while SR1 does.
>>340103467

I felt the same about 2

>KINZIE SOME BITCHES SELF INSERT QUIRKY "le nerd gurl dominatrix xD"
Yeah.
>almost entirely recycled activities
With vastly improved controls
>soulless open world
Less soulless than Saint's Row II
>severely gimped customization
Fairl.
>only seven radio stations
Doesn't matter
>dozen+ bullshit dlc including FUCKING CHEATS
Saint's Row 2 also had tons of bullshit DLC, and you can ignore the cheats completely and lose nothing of value.
>>340101938Gat Out of Hell makes a reboot more or less a certainty. The game ends with Gat being granted a favor by God and one ending involves settling on a new Earth while another involves resetting events with some significant changes. They could go any direction with that ending, though.
>>340103625
He's paid to play those games on the stream.
Never played saints row 1. Loved saints row 2. Didn't like saints row 3. Really enjoyed saints row 4. Didn't play the DLCs though. I'd like them to either continue with that cop thing or reboot. I'm not too fond of God and Satan stuff. Rather either keep it as a fucked up cliché dream or find a way around it. I just don't like that the world you played in saints row 2 ended like it did. Of course I doubt we've seen the last of Saints row so who knows what's in store next.

>was a sperm donor
>donations rooms had some porn mags for the donors, usually only Penthouse

I eventually did by SR3 and enjoyed it. Did anyone buy those pornstar packs or whatever? They looked god awful.
>>340102837
The only thing I kept lamenting compared to Crackdown was the ability to fire your guns while midair, preferably using lock-on. Nothing better than jumping 30 feet in the air and raining down a hail of rockets at the apex of your jump.
...Agent.
>>340103597
>also the story felt like amateur fan fiction at best, what happened to the Boss that NOBODY fucked with, the one who essentially was the antagonist of 2, except they won at the end?
The writers realized they were making the world's silliest open world crime game, so they dropped all the bullshit pretense and wisely separated those games from Grand Theft Auto forever.

>>340103985
The best part of IV for me was all the things they ripped off from crackdown and hulk ultimate destruction. It made me want to play those games again tbqh.
I never cared much for the San Andreas clone bullshit they had going on before.
>>340104385
I just wish they didn't go destroyed earth and god and satan.
They need to keep going. Every new iteration in the series has taken the saints one more step up in the food chain so to speak.
We left off 4 with no earth, all of our members, and a galactic battle ship. I want to see them make a spoof of Mass Effect. Have us traveling the galaxy with our new tech spreading the Saints name event further. Whether that means conquering planets or what IDK.
I want them to go as far as they can go before deciding to play off of Time Travel. Perhaps by the end they conquer the universe and only then learn the only way to fix whatever looming issue that exists is to go back in time and fix it. So at the center of the universe they discover time travel.
Following iteration has them going through different time periods doing shit, obviously fucking it up a bit and having The Saints start appearing in ancient writings and stuff.
So long as they dont cop out like so many other developers who stop progressing their stories (though most arent continuous like Saints Row has been) and resort to releasing HD remakes.
Saints Row has a great theme going for it and they need to continue along their path of getting bigger and more outlandish.
>>340102837
fuck man, that mission and song with ben king was great
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypE4w30ME-k
>>340103990
No one can be this much of a faggot, the map was dogshit, the characters were okay-ish with kinzie and matt getting really annoying, the gangs were ass, the levels were a mixed bag and the radio matters.
2 only had 2 story dlcs, and the world of 2 was much better
>>340104539
They already have time travel and a favor from God available to them.
They're going to reboot either the next game or the following one. I just don't know how they can without making it feel like a step back.
>>340104539
That does sound pretty cool. But they must not go after that the route with earth getting blowed up again.
>>340104590
nah
>>340104539
They already did the mass effect thing.
I want them to go full on star trek at this point, every mission has them defeating some god alien, or going back in time, or teaching a robot to love and shit.
>>340104880
>You know remember that CID wanted to fuck Kinzie
PUMP THIS SHIT, LIKE THEY DO IN THE FUTURE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZptOs8Gu9k
You'd think with such a lolrandom story people wouldn't give a shit about it, but I actually care, follow, and understand the SR story and characters more than most games
It's pretty funny that I consider the SR story more worth my attention than the assassins creed games, halo, and grand theft auto and uncharted
>>340104880
Yeah, I want the boss to be the first motherfucker to find a new galaxy, or find a new alien lifeform... and fuck it.
Man, as a wrestling fan i fucking loved every single reference in Saints Row IV
>>340104880
By going back in time they can do more fun stuff. Would be fun if you could go back and forth in time and do stuff at will.
>you decide to go back to ancient Rome and punch a Roman citizen in the face and drop a chain with saints logo on it
>you go by a university or watch a TV show or whatever and hear of ancient statue in Rome of a guy that got punched and got a necklace with a logo very much alike the Saints logo
Bad example but you guys get the idea. So much you can do with time travel
>>340104009
They could do a reboot like it was done in Mortal Kombat 9.
SR2 was a stinking piece of shit. SR3 actually gave personality to the series.
>>340105393
>you go to Egypt and make yourself a pharaoh so later in the present day there is huge pyramids and writings dedicated to you

Accidentally make Caesar a member of The Saints, be there when he gets stabbed. Perhaps gang rival
>>340105338
>as a wrestling fan
But in the end of IV, as the boss executed Zinyak it became the new leader of the empire, so the saints are now a galactic empire??
>>340101984
Y'know, was I the only one who felt like the Boss wanted the D, regardless of danger. There's fanboyism but it was a bit more than that
Oh shit, this thread is still up? Most SR threads don't last this long
>>340103985
I probably didn't get as much from 1 since I played it after 2, but it was still a good time.
>>340104215
And written in the style of a 15 year old. I didn't believe Phillipe Loren died when he was randomly crushed by the giant ball 1/3 of the way into the story. He was hyped as the big bad, and his death was treated like a joke.
>>340103990
I played most of my time in SR2 on the xbox 360, and I'll concede the controls on pc were genuinely awful.
>missions
I get that some (alot) of the missions in SR2 were somewhat cookie cutter, but imo the missions were for the 10/10 tarintino-esque story, and the activities were for the creative gameplay. Fuzz was GOAT, and should have come back.
In TT, missions had these bombastic setpieces and the same "humor" i was lamenting earlier, but mostly they played just like normal missions with extra sparkle in the asthetics. Ooh, "a cyber world, and you shoot enemies, as a toilet xD! THEN YOU PRESS X TO WIN A SWORDFIGHT AGAINST AN ANNOYING ENEMY YOU CANT EVEN KILL IRL"
>terrible new characters
Zimos was annoying, Angel was garbage, the enemies barely had any screentime vs the gangs in 2, and we've mentioned Kinzie.
>lifeless city
take a random screenshot of stilwater, and you'll have a general idea of where you are. Take a random shot of steelport, and besides not Times Square or the airport, will you know where you are? Steelport according to the designers was "a city without zoning regulations", and this was an excuse to "place down the same limited number of buildings in every section of the city. Stilwater had the trailerpark, the cemetary, new saints row, the slums, the comercial district, the docks, the marina, all with visually different asthetics and buildings.
So they made
Saints Row
Saints Row 2
Saints Row The Third
Saints Row IV and Gay out of hell
What if...Saints Row 3 and Saints Row 4, but in the same style as Saints Row 2 and straight up sequels where you're just a gang again
>>340106443
Get with the times, grandpa. Humor is where it's at
>>340105963
Thats what I'm saying. They gotta now go conquer the galaxy in the name of the Saints. Perhaps seeking a new place to "call home" but they have to keep planet hopping until they find a good one.
Also, no one seems to mention the best part about the ending, and I dont understand why. Is it really not that cool or are people just too young to have seen the source material?
"You got the touch... You got the powerrrrr"
*One shal stand, one shal fall*
Literally the best part of the whole game and really made the ending that much better, despite how easy it was. 100% entertainment value.
>>340106632
The missions on the robot were pure fun
Fuck Saints Row, I want a new Red Faction.
>>340106872
It was a power armor!
>>340106632
Gave me actual goosebumps and a shit eating grin, it was done super well, its probably not mentioned because of all of the other clever uses of pop music in missions. Bummer shadow warrior and some movie used that music earlier in the year.
>>340106632
But GooH already had an ending where they find a suitable planet to take over. If there ever where to be another game it'll probably follow that ending because it has the most potential, as opposed to the other four, two of which don't really accomplish anything escort sacrifice Gat, one doesn't do much for anyone, and the other is "eh"

Its either a new IP entirely or Saints Row 5
They can do literally whatever they want in a sequel, i mean, it's Saint's Row after all
>>340107957
They could probably go the god retcons the saints row universe so earth is still there and Johnny is a cop possible ending from Gat out of Hell.
I would play that.
Gat Outta Hell was fun. It makes me hope they move onto outer space adventures because new Volition makes a much better fantasy playground than realistic city playground.
>>340107703

I got SR3 recently from Humble Bundle.
I did not know what I was missing. It's one of the funnest games I've played in recent memory, and I definitely saw what makes it different from GTA as the story went on.
Characters were all fairly unique and the story and writing got a good amount of chuckles outta me. Zimos' stupid autotune voice cracked me up way way more than any of the others though. Definitely one of the most comical characters I've encountered in a longass time.
I also got SR2 from the same bundle but apparently it's a broken af port and I don't know if I should bother. After the experience I've had with the third one I'd say there's a good chance I'll get IV sometime down the line.

Forgot the name but it's the biggest one and easy to find.
>>340110170
DO BOTHER
See the above thread, realize it's probably the best in the series. The pc port does take getting used to with garbage controls and optimization.
Recommend playing with a 360 pad, and installing this mod:
>>340110468

should fix most stability issues.
>>340110637
oh, and the audio quality is trash, they literally used the trial version of the audio encoder when porting. There should be a high quality radio fix mod on the forum in the site linked
4 is actually a pretty good game, stupid as hell but quite enjoyable to fuck around in.

why did saints row have to go to shit
>>340116515
and remove the customizable character? I can't see that happening, hopefully reboot imminent, because desu, SR IV felt like a respectful, or as much as it could be, send-off to the SR canon
>>340116552
Steve Jaros wrote every Saints game since 2, despite the dramatic tonal shifts (thanks THQ). They picked up Idolninja, the guy behind Gentlemen of the Row, an outspoken Saints Row 2 superfan. He often called out the volition twitter, shit was hilarious.(pic related)
Dunno about the rest, game companies transition talent all the time. I think the average turnover is between 3-6 years? But Volition iirc has around 200 people, so it's much more "close" than many comparable studios.

I wanna see Saints Row 5.0 where you play as the police. You'd be the leader of a special gang unit tasked with infiltrating the Stilwater underworld.
Since it's a reboot, maybe they could reintroduce STAG as a rival to your organization and reuse some of the plotlines that were cut from SR3, likeKillbane detonating a nuke over StilwaterandCyrus Temple being the same person as Killbane. You could run raids on their bases to steal their fancy top-secret government tech like flight packs, jump boots, and Nanomachines™ for super sprinting.
Hell, bring back the Syndicate while we're at it and give them a chance to become a real threat instead of bowing out in the first act.
And instead of Boss, you'd beChief.

The Boss travels back in time and indirectly orchestrates events so that he/she is responsible for the bomb that blows up the boat at the end of SR1, changing the future forever.

Thats a funny way of spelling "Chicken Ned"
>>340117746
Before SRIV I would've said the nuke was too far, but after >>340114354
might have been neat.
I just wish SRTT kept close with the tone of original cinematic trailer, all these years later I still haven't found anything like it.

>>340117978
>but they're objectively bad games
That doesn't sound very objective tbo (to be objective), specially when you're clearly too dumb and fat to explain your reasoning.
But anyway, I'll concede SR 3 because it just repeated missions ad nauseaum, and that Dr. Genki shit was grating. The worst part of SR IV was actually the DLC.

Enter the dominatrix was the worst DLC ever released for any game ever. The christmas one was ok.

They wanted a marketing icon like vault boy for easy viral brand recognition. All they did was shove "DUDE JAPAN LMAO" nonsense down everyones throat.
>>340118720
The mission packs were alright, the "three items for two dollars" content packs were worthless, and they said "the dlc wont be done in the style of TT", blamed THQ, and proceeded to do the exact same fucking thing.
>>340118552
The worst part of IV was making cars useless.

Some shots were try-hard, but I was hoping for more of the "celebrity lifestyle" plus the tarintino edge from SR2, that were implied here

It's amazing how real SRIV would get.
Also, Philipe was going to be an unlockable homie in SRIV. They even recorded unique conversations with all the other homies.

They also caused the worst Tim and Eric video ever to be produced.

That was your post in that pic, wasn't it? What a specimen.

tim and eric show is stupid in general anyway
adding adult swim garbage to SR3 was the beginning of the end
>>340120941
>tim and eric show is stupid in general anyway
Oh, lay an egg.
>>340120924
No it wasn't. It just baffled me how everybody automatically thought he said having fun was bad.
2011 /v/ was just as retarded as modern /v/. This place is still overrun by kneejerk reactionaries who can't into reading comprehension.
>>340121034
the idea of being a warped nightmare version of public television was clever but it was executed like shit catering to moronic stoners
>>340121295
Eric Andre is everything Tim and Eric tried to be. The only difference is that Andre succeeds and is actually fun to watch.
>>340121295
>was executed like shit catering to moronic stoners
reminds me of SR3
>>340121295
>>340121439
this, though more often than not Andre falls either into the same traps, or goes for reaction image bait
>>340117267
nah he just hates bad games
you can have fun in some terrible fucking games like SR3 and Dead Island
Do any of you guys even remember SR TT?
I seriously can't nor can I remember having any fun.
>>340121594
I mean, SR3 DID have a dedicated Adult Swim radio station.
Rewatching that original Saints Row 3 trailer just made me depressed. God damn, I wish we coulda got that game instead.
>>340121439
>Eric Andre is everything Tim and Eric tried to be.
The Eric Andre Show is produced by Tim and Eric's company.

I don't think I smiled once the entire game.

>>340121885
You were just 13.
>>340121885
Saints Row 2 had such a good balance of the goofy and the serious.
3 and 4 had no idea how to balance this, and went off the deep end.
>>340121989
I was 27 when SR2 came out, and you're just a condescending child.

>>340101771
Flying is a lot of fun. They clearly went to a lot of effort to make a new cyber-hellish city and yet it's a very short game entirely revolving around doing enough diversions to move the plot.
They must've needed the money with the THQ to Deep Silver shake ups.
>>340122036
2 knew how to be subtle. 3 just went full retard.
>>340122305
fuck you..
>>340122710
>2 knew how to be subtle.
Come on, man, go replay it. It was some goofy cartoon gangster shit. If you still take it seriously after a replay I feel sorry for you.
I just want Saints Row V to pretend IV never happened. Go back in time and just have the super suit unlockable.
All those memorable characters like Hulk Hogan wasted without a second thought
>>340122859
I think people overplay the seriousness of 2. It just had some really strong moments and knew how to balance them with the comedy. It was three really well-told stories. SRTT just ended up being one really tryhard, unfunny story.
>>340122859
>goofy cartoon gangster shit
And 3 isn't?
It was still toned down compared to 3's sophomoric dick joke humor.
I wanted SR 3 and 4 to bring back fighting styles.
Why didn't they bring back fighting styles, guys?
Was it too cartoony?
>>340104189
How is being a sperm donor?
It always seems weird to me how there could be small people with your DNA out there.
Is the money worth it?
>>340123070

>>340123049
>And 3 isn't?
Of course it is. Where are you even going with this? There was nothing subtle about SR2 and then it went off the rails from there. Not in tone, dialogue or gameplay.
SR1 was just a K-mart version of GTA. It wasn't until they stopped taking the series seriously that they found their identity.
>>340122710
>>340122859
2 had an "over-the-top", (again, tarintino-esque) story with missions and cutscenes largely grounded in reality, with appropriate pacing of acts and dramatic peaks.
The activities were loosely justified goofy shit, and the costumes and vehicles you could use had the potential to make any story mission as silly as you wanted. Plus, the voices would dramatically impact the tone for males as well.
Want a balanced PG-13 action movie? Black guy voice 1.
Want a dramatic thriller with gritty realism and high-octane moments? Pick Mexican voice 2.
Off the walls batshit adventure? Pick the cockney voice 3.
>>340104189
>usually only Penthouse
Why's that?
>>340123404
They probably get those for free.
>>340123256
the only "completely silly" moments forced regardless of character were Mr Sunshine fight and (debateably) the "the enemies got you fucked up on loa dust, go defend the saints hq".
>>340118451
I remember being confused why there was two Gats and thinking maybe they were new twins characters instead.
Which game had the kid getting dragged behind a monster truck? One and two really blend together so I cant remember
>>340123636
i originally thought that having a coop partner was canon!
>>340123680
see
>>3401223052

Mr Sunshine was amazing even if it looked like out of place
>Shoot him down

>Do it again
>Still gets up
>Get mad
>Chop his head off
>>340123680
Two is where carlos gets kidnaped by The Brotherhood which is the thing that triggers the boss of the saints before going full mind games with Maero
>>340123636
I wish that SR3 didn't killed the main antagonist in the first chapter
>>340123876
Don't forget that he threw Sunshine's head into a meat-packaging assembly line.
>>340123960
I remember that but i didn't wanted to say if it was normal meat or kitty food because i mixed up Sleeping Dogs
sr3 was fucking stupid but sr4 was so pants on head retarded that it looped back around to being fun again
>>340107079

Fuck you guys, I already re-re-re-re-added The Witcher 2 to my backlog. I don't want to have fun, I'm supposed to be planning my glorious return to higher education!

>>340120439
>Everyone taking the piss as keith's acting
>>340124151
It's amazing what competent writing can do.
The biggest crime SR3 committed wasn't that it went sillier, it's that is just wasn't funny or engaging. Ever.
SR4 went even further beyond the realms of silliness, but the writing kept it interesting and there were a lot of really strong jokes.
>make the boss a big titty bitch with a nice ass
>make her fuck the edgelord nerd guy
hot
So when can we kill Dex?
>>340125952
Weird thing is, same lead writer for 2, TT, and IV. No idea how that happened, probably THQ
>>340126126
I'm guessing it was THQ, yeah. The first SR3 trailer shows a completely different attitude from what we ended up getting.
I miss stoner Shaundi.
>>340126526
>mfw shaundi turned into a plastic bitch
>gat dies
>no more stillwater
SRTT was a fucking mistake
>>340118451
Still waiting on a sandbox action game with elements of corporate espionage and warfare, basically like that trailer but with some micromanagement for your empire.
Before SR IV came out, they were hyping mod tools, but they were done in the staffs free time, which meant on a very slow schedule, and with many missing features due to a lack of Deep Silver support.
Cool that the older games are popping up DRM-free though.

It's been a while, please explain? Could we heal with food items?Not that it matters, I uninstalled when I dropped it, so I'd figure it out on my own with a new save.

Yeah you can. But smoking a joint and drinking 40 ozes don't help.
>SR5 is just space rance
>>340126050
Too bad the tits were awful and there are no mods that fix them. Also I made my boss fuck everyone on the ship, as a rule.
Shame Steelport looked a whole lot better in concept art. Not surprising at all, but there seemed to be a lot more potential than the final map we got.
>>340127817
goddamn that looks great
>hugely layered city with a massive downtown district
>construction
>shitty little industrial area
I can't even remember steelport but I remember most of Stilwater
shit reusing the exact same map for 3 and 4 was the worst, there were enough changes from 1 to 2 to make it somewhat okay but they just don't care about some of the nonsense

I was hoping it was going to be they lost everyhing and had to build it back up like saints row 2
>rob a military base in the 3rd mission and get the best penthouse immediately
SR3 was such trash
>>340128050
Agreed. I can't remember exactly where I read this but the city was apparently going for a 'downtown is the heart of the city and where all the modern shit is being done' kinda thing.
Then the outer areas are like remnants or whatever from when the various industrial businesses that were still important.
>>340128298
what the fuck is intelligent about Saints Row IV
>>340126828
On top of that
>has a massive fucking boner for Gat even though they barely interacted in SR2
>Acts like she knew Gat longer than The Boss after he dies
Here's the city at night by the way. There's some more concept art lying around if anyone wants me to post it.
>/v/ suddenly likes sr4 now
What the fuck. When I finished it a year and a half ago everyone hated it, while I loved the shit out of it. Couldn't put it down for a whole week til I finished it. It was the only saints row game I ever played too
