>SR1 >Julius creates the saints to stop the gang wars that

Volition realised serious isn't entertaining, so they went with wacky.

The Boss was always a sociopath. The only difference is they weren't a sociopath in charge. Then they got blown up by Julius so they kind of pissed them off.

It's a long game story. How do you want to explain it?

Maybe it's about how violence doesn't solve much? Julius' attempt to use violence to solve violence backfires?

Maybe it's about how power corrupts? The saints turn into that they fought against?

I don't know man, just fucking take a look at it. Do some thinking.

Saints Row 3 was a complete change of everything.

>>280626432
JULIUS WAS ZINYAK ALL ALONG!

It's kind of funny. Rockstar decided to give GTA a bit more of a serious edge right around the same time Volition decided SR shouldn't take itself so seriously.

>>280626483
Julius and that one bartender were the only ones I felt bad about killing.

You really don't think Julius trying to kill all the Saints had anything to do with it? The MC was always a psycho considering he went around butchering the other gangs of Stilwater on behalf of Julius, even if it was to stop the violence. Julius realized this about the MC and Gat which is why he tries to end the Saints but all it did was create a city wide power vacuum.

In SR2 you and Gat return to the exact same place you were at the beginning of SR1, surrounded by a hostile city full of warring gangs. Do you really expect the MC to just sit around and do nothing? Not to mention the news report that he/she breaks out and Johnny escaping trial, it was basically guaranteed that someone would come for you guys sooner or later.

If anything SR3 shows what exactly the MC thought of Julius' plan. He basically turned Stilwater into a peaceful city by controlling the streets exactly like Vogel and Julius wanted to do. The only difference was that the MC liked to pull violent publicity stunts to remind people that he was there. At least until he decided to rob the wrong fucking bank...

>>280633110

And then he became the President.

GG

>>280633263
Well I mean that's kinda my point. Despite the fact that the series turned into a hamfest for he sake of gaining free press and differentiating itself from GTA, I still feel like the Boss has always been a consistent character in the sense that he has delusions of grandeur wrapped around psychopathic tendencies, and yet his goal is basically always to bring a state of balance through force.

He basically points guns at things until they stop being problems and refuse to start being problems.

Honestly though, I'm really hoping that the next SR is a complete reboot of the series with a new group of Saints and a theme more in line with SR1 or 2.

>>280633263
And then he became Iron-Man.

Time for opinions

After marathoning SR2, 3 and 4 again recently:

Mechanically SR3 is a straight up improvement over 2

The only real downsides of SR3 in comparison to 2 is that the writing is extremely inconsistent in tone and comes off as lolsorandom, and that taking over the city as part of the main storyline in 2 feels better

SR4 despite being wacky, is highly consistent in how it tells its story once you're in the virtual world. The only reason I don't think it's as good as 2 is because the decision to throw in super powers undermines other aspects of the game like using vehicles, and certain missions blatantly remove your powers because of this.

>>280643028
My collection of cars in SR4 is for looking at, not for driving.

Which is a shame because that Chrome Rattler looks fucking awesome.If anything, I'm hoping for a reboot so we can go back to using cars.

>>280633849

Yeah, but a NEW engine.

How often does SR2 go on sale on Steam?

And much does GotR boost the performance? I want to play this shit at 1440p/60fps

>>280642854

Woah, source of webm? Any more?

>>280643387
GotR sometimes makes the game run flawlessly for people, other times you have to do other tweaks (probably because you get a bug that makes the game run too fast,) and sometimes you just get random crashes (my recent reinstallation had the game crashing 10% of the time anyone opened a car door.)

SR2's shitty port is really inconsistent regardless of how you try to fix it.

>Saints become sellouts
>Volition sells out

It's like poetry.

>>280643469
I'd love this personally. SR3 and 4 play great. Guns feel incredibly responsive, driving works incredibly well on keyboard compared to other GTA likes where I have to use a controller.

>>280643469

Yeah, after seeing the character model detail in 3 and 4, I'd rather not have them remade.

2's was better, much better...

>>280644178
It's not like Volition didn't know. They wrote Johnny's dialogue in the beginning of the game.

Though SR3 got nailed with a ton of changes which just make everything "what" about the story.

>>280625794
Julius betrayed the saints

Who else here hopes that the canon ending of GooH is the retcon everything ending

>>280644891
It is. Gat or Kinzie gets a wish by god for fucking up hell, the wish is for everything to get back to normal.

>>280644891

Obviously it will be. The only logical step, that and it had the most work put into it as far as animation goes. There was so much to think of from that ending.

The others? Gat meets Aisha and forgets about everyone else... in heaven.

Gat rules hell, or Gat and the gang go to a different planet.

Gotta tell ya, if GOOH is the last we see of the characters for the eventual reboot - it's a shitty climax.

>>280644891
If that's all they're offering, then sure. I was hoping that 3 would have been the Saints fucking up their control of Ultor, ending up ruining Stilwater even worse then before. Not progressively turning into fucking Crackdown.

>>280643896

MOAR.

God damn... my g- god damn...

Went to kickass.so and got a warning telling me it is dangerous. Upload webms here!

>>280644891
I'm pretty sure it is considering after SRIV Volition said something to the effect of "this is the end of this Boss's story." GooH had you playing as Gat and Kinzie so it jives with this.

What I'm hoping for is that the Saints are now the police force or some kind of task force/anti-gang unit, so you'll still be running the city.

And instead of Boss, you'll be Chief.

>>280645310
With all the references to the previous games, SR4 was a much better grand finale to the series.

If GOOH had been a part of that, with the new flight added to the base gameplay of SR4, and saving Johnny Gat involving him breaking out of hell, I think that both would be better off for it.

>>280644891
Either this or they will go for the new home ending and Saints Row 5 takes place in Alium City with you taking over districts from aliums till humans are the new overlords of the planet.

But after that there might be nothing at all so i guess the best thing they can do is a complete retcon of everything.

>>280625794

The Saints from Saints Row 1 are either dead, in Jail or have sold out by Saints Row 2. Dex sold out to Ultor, Lynn died, Gat changed after Aisha's death, Troy was a cop, and Julius disappeared. The Boss was always a psychopath. He just never had the opportunity to show it because he didn't have power. Now that he experienced it in Saints Row 2 he realizes having power, bitches, respect, cars, and being fear is a pretty sweet deal. I think it's a better storyline that the boss in Saints Row is the ultimate bad guy not the other gangsters

>>280646267

Yeah... sigh. MOAR! I didn't see this thread yesterday...

>>280646402
The Saints empire becomes so large that they realize lovecraftian eldritch gods actually exist and they go take the fight to them.

>>280648026

I'd be fucking furious if they use the same engine in the eventual reboot...

>>280648026
Gat out of Hell has mission replay as far as i heard.

Julius was the only one who believed in that.

The protagonist was always a sociopath, Troy was a cop, Dex was a backstabber who just wanted to get out of the game, and Gat was more or less a sociopath just like the Protagonist

Ha fun with SR2 and having a blast with SR4.

Is SR3 worth it? I remember people were complaining about it a lot.

>>280649135
Literally the only issue with the new engine is the clothes. Everything else is smooth as butter. SR3/4 are probably the best controlling open world crime games.

>>280649279
>Is SR3 worth it?
I like it. It's a bit of a step down from 2 in areas, and a step up in others. If you grab it on sale, you probably won't be mad.

>>280649223
it doesn't, and if it does i haven't seen it

>>280649279
Saints Row 3 has the problem that it doesn't know what it wants to be at all.

And if it tries something it only does a mediocre job.

The clothes, the blurred textures, the silly putty hair and the clothes looking puffy.

Not to forget the body mass is overdone. I want to be skinny and anorexic, like my SR2 character - but I don't have the choice in the other games because the body types are ALWAYS muscular.

FYI SR1 and 2 had zombies as easter eggs.

Though now they probably aren't easter eggs.

>>280649536

I thought the villain (not lolrandom wrestler) had potential. An evolution. a James Bond type villain that could have taken on a gangster type gang like the Saints.

>>280649752
Whilst I'll agree that we can do better with having more choices, I'm having too much fun playing Senator turned President Armstrong in SR4.

Dammit, I love SR2 and I'd like another Saints like it... but I don't know how they'd do it without retelling the usual gang warfare tale again.

Also, I want Mr. Sheffield to voice my cockney arsehole again.

Apparently the twins were both supposed to join the saints.

That would have been cool, because the they were 2cute together in GooH

The Saints going the Ultor way isn't actually that bad of an idea.

The problem was how Saints Row 3 handled it.

Let Gat not die or just end in coma for a while and give the game decent villian development at it could have been something.

Also: Dex and the boss staying a true sociopath and not turning into a Warner Bros cartoon character.

>>280649790
>The idea of a zombie woman dressed as a westside roller is absurd
It was the little things about SR2.

I liked the cutscenes in SR2.

I also like how if you stood infront of a car's lights you actually cast a shadow. None of the GTA's do that.

The melee in SR2 is great as well. The wrestling moves get repetitive in SR3. I haven't played 4. Can you smoke weed in SR4?

>>280650638
Yeah SR3 went too many places and had no real idea what it wanted to do.

Do you think they will jew Gat out of Hell out with DLC like they did with SR3 and 4?

>>280650638
One reason why people like SR2 so much is how the game handled the gangwars.

Maero was a decent villian and at parts you could actually relate to him.
Same with Shogo and how he tried to impress his father and failed over and over again.

>>280652142

Saints Row took over in the silliness department when GTA decided to go dark and edgy

so they said fuck it we going all out CURAZY

>>280666705
help

Saints Row 1 was basically GTA with some dumb extra humor thrown in (like GTA)

Saints Row 2 was a weird balance between super dark storyline of playing as a sociopath, with some goofy humor thrown in.

Saints Row 3 took the positive response to the silliness in 2 and went full speed ahead with it.

Saints Row 4 was 3 but with some different stuff in it.

For the record I actually like 4 the best.

Also the driving in 3 was somehow worse than 2.
How did they fuck it up and why did they replace the handbrake with a drift button?

>>280668426

1 and 2 had more consistency and better written stories.

3 downgraded from 2 and 4 was better than 3.

>>280656431
I want them to travel back to SR2 and use that to justify a HD remake of it with non-shit controls.

>>280661478
3 and 4 are stylized to hide the aging engine. It was a smart move, because 2 was ugly as fuck despite being GOAT in open-world bullshit.

>SR1
>Everyone calls you "player"
>You are the player

So is SR4 worth playing at all? I'm someone who thought SR3 was pretty much just a shit game in comparison to the first 2 and never even bothered to finish it since I got bored with it halfway through.

>>280669295

Doesn't make sense considering how shitty the textures are.

2's style was an improvement over 3. They changed the graphics because they wanted it to look more cartoony for their new direction.

Honestly, I feel it's just Volition auditioning for superhero games.

>>280669662
>I don't understand what stylized means!
Using that engine they're never going to compete with realistic looking games. The cartooniness was a conscious choice - those "shitty" textures are more aesthetically pleasing to me than SR2's "blurry kinda-realistic but ultimately bad" ones.

>>280669658

If you buy SR4, you'll feel like the two first games were gems to behold. You'll feel more appreciative of the them. 4 has throwbacks to 2 and 1, which I believe was done to play on the the devisive community. Very manipulative.

Ask 1 and 2 purists how they felt about 3 and 4 and they will say 4 is better than 3.

4 is a nostalgic reminder of how great the 1st and 2nd game were and it hurts. I fucking hate Voliton now.

If you haven't noticed, fuckwit, their art style in general is now more cartoonish. Comic book cartoonish - given the direction of S3 it makes sense, BECAUSE of the new direction.

If you bothered to fucking read, I was saying they did it for that reason - not because they thought it was a graphical improvement that made the models look nicer.

It's the direction.

For fun

Everyone always talks about how great 2 was, but I honestly find it too absurdly grim in it's story.

It's just so dark to the point where it's stupid and it's characters become unlikable.
Despite going full WACKY, 3 had more likable characters too.

Honestly I'm surprised at just how well GOOH wraps things up. We get at least short references to anyone of significance, and using the excuse of EARTH BLEW UP EVERYONE DIED SO IS IN HEAVEN / HELL was great.

Though the way they finally handled the end of the Dex storyline was shitty.

Two was great because it had more stuff. It had a better written storyline that wasn't rushed. It had character development for characters. It had good satire. It had a better city. It had humour and it was serious enough for coherency. It also had better villains.

Yeah, fuck off. I hate people like you. It's not fucking stupid because SR2 didn't rely on shock humour or a stupid fucking dildo bat for attention.

The third game took more out than it put in for a newer instalment. The graphics were also terrible and the characters looked like shit.

>>280672470

Since San Andreas was the only game in the series to use urban gangsters - your opinion is void. SA didn't have gang territories and took itself too seriously for type of game it was.

Even SR1 did the gang thing better. If you haven't fucking noticed - Grand Theft Auto went full on fucking Mafia and lost it's colour.

So. Is Kinzie there to specificly appeal to fans of Felicia Day?

>>280625794
>What the fuck happened?
SR stopped being an angsty tween and realized that there's no such thing as a peace-desiring protagonist in a game that allows players to go on murdering sprees whenever they want.

Just like GTAIV and it's ass-retarded protagonist who wouldn't shut up about how horrible war is and how he wants to get away from violence in-between sessions of the player gunning down cops and running over hookers to get their money back.

Sandbox crime games need to realize they are inherently retarded. There's no way to give the player complete freedom and then paint their character like some kind of noble antihero.

Volition realized this and took the series in the direction of absurdist dark humor and retardation, and that's why the SR games are the only good crime sandboxes to date other than Vice City.

>>280673198

>>280673351

You say that like 3 and 4 are just as good. The humour in those games are juvenile and not in a good way. Plus 1 AND 2 had better satire.

Again, SR added more to the genre.

>>280673870
>but GTA has always leant towards organized crime and mafia shit

No it doesn't.

GTA 1 - Bosses include mobster, triad boss, a literal gay Mexican, a dirty cop, and a rude boy.

GTA 2 - Whacky gangs up the Wazoo.

London - Sure this passes.

3 - Claude does dirty work for literally every gang in the city, as well as a corrupt media mogul. Sure, mobsters are here, but you spend most of your time doing work for others.

VC - I'll give the pass, since Tommy is a former mobster. His new start up isn't much of a mafia, though, just a gang of bandits and drug dealers.

SA - Yeah, yeah, we know.

LCS - This passes, too.

VCS - Focus on a drug dealing empire.

IV - Much like Claude, Niko does errands for any criminal organization willing to pay him.

TLaD - Bikers.

TBoGT: A co-owner of the club does various criminal activities to keep the club and himself alive.

CTW - Triads

V - No criminal organization. Just three dudes stealing shit.

>>280673529
Ugh, don't remind me. I was really hoping we'd get to play as our Bosses in the post-game, even if it meant having them stuck in generic clothes, but nope. I felt kinda let down, since the devs said you would be able to see your Boss in cutscenes, but then they were only actually in the intro and ending and spent the rest of the game in that wack-ass crystal prison.

>>280675029
Organized thieves, sure. I'm talking about a criminal organization.

>>280675072
>Here's a list showing that every GTA game has organised crime in it

The point of contention there was the mafia thing. If you're going to stretch "criminal organization" then literally every GTA falls under that umbrella, making the comment about organized crime a moot point.

>>280674629
>organized crime must mean italian mobsters

Triads, mobsters, organized gangs are all organized crime.

>>280675228

>>280626316

There's no point trying to better at being GTA than GTA, Rockstar makes an impressive game.

I like the direction SR2 and SR3 took, I loved SR4 even if it was a repellently lazy production.

If they reboot the series they need to stay stupid, and the PC should never be the boss.

Alright buddy.

Why do people seem to think 3 and IV are way more fun than 2? 3 was just horrible, I got bored playing through it on co-op for fucks sake and that's pretty hard to do for someone like me. I don't hate IV though, it has its moments and decent co-op, but I still feel that SR2 had better activities and missions. In general I would say 2 > 4 > 1 > dog shit > 3

We can all agree that SR2 had the best co-op though, right?

>>280675521
>and the PC should never be the boss.
Why not

>>280675541

3 sucks

Please god, allow the retcon / reboot ending of GOOH to be the canon one. It is the PERFECT get out clause to return things to how they were.

I can't wrap my head around people that say the controls in SR feel good. They don't. Even GTA with its wacky physics-based movement feels more responsive. Running around in SR games feels ridiculous, and the physics of being sent flying or blown up are appalling. Enemies rarely do anything interesting , most are just people with guns that stand and shoot and run around or "special enemies" that perform four different moves and are absolute bullet sponges. The melee weapons are awful and the guns have no kick to them. The dodging move you can do is awful in every way. The very act of killing feels drawn out, in SR4 the only payoff to defeating a pursuing special enemy is watching a canned animation play that you can take damage in. The protagonist doesn't even react to being shot, although setting them on fire seems to completely debilitate them.
Volition really needs to do SOMETHING with the damn physics of the game to make it either more realistic, or more arcade-y. And fix the stupid plastic hair.

>>280675698
>Oh so the only way you can be right is by distorting organized crime being Italian only.

Are you even reading my posts

>The point of contention there was the mafia thing.

>>280674618
There were three other gangs, two were enemies.

>>280675658

That writes the series into a corner. The PC should be a lieutenant who gets sent to new cities with brutal gang problems to set up new chapters. You'd be sort of the "boss" in that city, but you'd have equals with you, like Shaundi, Gat, and Kinzie. There would be an established boss in Stillwater giving you orders so the plot could always be driven forward. Sort of an off screen character who pays you to put yourself in danger and help you scratch that sociopathic itch.

>>280676179
You don't really need someone to give you orders. I mean being the boss means a ton of stuff is going to happen that he needs to deal with.

I don't mind being a henchman, I'm just saying.

People say Gat out of Hell finally resolves the Dex Storyline.

Please tell me it's some sort of epic battle, and Dex is Satans right hand man?

>>280675521

No, SR3 was a rushed piece of shit. It didn't have as much fun things to do than 2.

Fuck off, SR2 is better miles ahead of 3.

>>280676389
Nope, you just find him wandering around hell as he is already dead and you can just repeatedly rekill him over and over again, same with some other characters from before in the series

>>280682835

couldn't they have just given him the AI the miniboss alien dudes used?

I think a lot of Sr3's problem was the ammount of shit awful characters it introduced.

In fact, every single new character apart from Kinzie was awful. Especially Zimos.

>>280656332
To be fair, the boss did straight up mention zombie Lin in one of the SR2 DLC missions. Taking that into account, they did exist in some form or another.

power corrupts

Probably because Kinzie is like, the only relatively normal character out of the lot.

I don't get why I keep seeing this. What's broken? I had a few glitches in cut scenes, Japanese dude's bodyguard's phone floating a foot from his hand being the only one I can think of off of the top of my head. The gameplay it's self ran as smooth as on the 360. I don't recall any tearing, any polarizing, any whatever you call it when the top half of the screen goes on the bottom like when you had a loose aerial connection. No major bugs that made it unplayable. Controls were a bit iffy I think, but that's just adapt and go.

So can someone who did have a broken experience share what was wrong with it for them?

SR2 is the most wildly unstable port ever made. On some computers it works perfectly fine, on some computers it works fine with some mods, and on others it's unbearably broken.

It has a reputation as one of the worst PC ports made.

First you tell me your system specs, because as I understand, the further your hardware is away from the 360's, the worse the game will run.

So which ending of Gat out Of Hell do we want to be Canon?

The progression of this series has been a strange one.

Saints Row began as a rushed GTA clone meant to beat Rockstar to the punch in that market, and it worked.

Saints Row 2 used to be the pinnacle of the series for me. It had the perfect blend of humor and serious to sell me on the story and the action.

Saints Row 3 was such a huge disappointment for me, because the progression from street gangs to almost superheroes and villains really soured me, and the story for the most part was trite garbage. Also, Hulk Hogan voicing a hispanic luchador was offensive to all six senses.

Then SR4 came and it was just so over the top and completely self-aware in their embracing of the ridiculous that it just worked on every level. I think at some point, Volition began to realize that they can't "out-GTA" GTA, so they needed to do something to make the series distinctive and get it away from the "GTA clone" label. And SR4 did it. It had little text adventures in it, and even a classic arcade brawler mission!

These guys love what they do and it shows.

The one that retcons everything and turns everything back to normal. I really liked 3 and 4, but if they keep trying to 1-up the cuhrayzee antics in every future title like they've been doing, it would just get old really fast.

>>280686580
I installed SR2 the first time on this same computer a few years back and it would crash everytime at the first quest in the bar as soon as I exited

I installed it again, exactly as before, earlier this week after all these SR threads and the game ran perfectly fine.

Shit don't make sense yo'

Though I want retcon.

Definately retcon.

I have a horrible feeling they'll go with the new home planet one though so they can literally create PLANET SAINTS.

>>280687679
Based SR1 Eesh.

>>280686991
New planet.

>>280687369
I want the series to become like Evangelion and Gat is Shinji and keeps rebooting the universe when things get too absurd

bum

Is volition working on anything right now? Not even SR stuff, but anything else?
