CONTEXT: SR5 sux giga donkey ballz
A bunch of SanFran Wokesoy fricks made the new reboot protags into the most mild unganglike losers ever to feature in any crime-drama media ever created. It was like the fricking directors didn't comprehend the Saints, didn't understand the themes, didn't realize the Saints still are the badguys even if they are the protagonists, and probably literally didn't even play a singe Saints game before undertaking the R*PE of the franchise.
The story was insipid, the uni strags were losers, and the villains as shallow as wet pavement

https://old.reddit.com/r/SaintsRow/comments/pelrd5/i_dont_get_it_saints_row_reboot_controversy
The premise is utterly r-slurred
The new protags are literally the soyjack hipster
r/SaintsRow had constant slapfights between oldguard and newstrags about the quality of the game, which made the Starfield fights seem tame.
Once again a bunch of wokes tried to colonize a subculture and telling everyone how much the past games sucked, and how the new trash isn't so bad, no really you guys
https://old.reddit.com/r/SaintsRow/comments/193rkrf/the_saints_row_reboot_permanently_ruins_saints
Today's slapfight is started by OP saying "Tbh the Saints Row Reboot permanently fricked up Saints Row's reputation" redditors react
anyways lots of people upset and posting
One goes: "Well I enjoyed it!"
Chud replies: " "
2nd soy states: "Let people enjoy things!!!!!"
Anyways the devs screwed up before anyways when they created a game called Agents of Mayham.
A game which I literally didn't know came out, and was even in the SR franchise, until fricking ZP reviewed it, it literally flew under the radar because it sucked. It literally didn't even have the zany customization of the previous games
So the company probably was gonna be shitcanned if their second game bricked

Saints row 2 is the best gta style game

It was the last one that really focused on gang warfare that was GTA-esq but more whimsical and fun. SR3 strayed from that a bit by facing off against a mega corporation mostly but maintaining the fun factor + more minigames and multiplayer. After that it kept straying further and further away from the core concept with a bunch of bullshit nobody asked for.
Now SR is about... some leftoid queeroid college roommates that need to rob payday loan offices for rent? What the frick?

Saints Row 3 marked the beginning of the insufferable early-mid 2010s Adult Swim "safe edgy" soylent humor that has been a thorn on American media til this very day, they even had a fricking Adult Swim radio station

It happens to all great old franchises. You are in good company. Besides GTA will soon go the way of GOW and slowly lose itsself to marvelization and millenial speak.

Yep, I've already resigned myself to accepting GTA6 will end up this way.

yea I don't get why people jerk off over GTA 4, was the most boring game in the series
Jump in the discussion.

The story and physics were indeed superior to GTA 5, but GTA 4 was truly more boring than the series because of the fricking obnoxious search for "muh realism" that plagued games in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

This r-slurred child is claiming harassment whenever some people don't like his video
game. All this harassment on a small corner of the internet which the majority of SR g*mers don't bother reading is responsible for the low turnout for SR5.

Saints Row was always kind of an irreverent and janky series but in a good way. Idk about the latter ones though as I didn't play any of them past 2.

2 is San Andreas but with more zany
3 is 2 but with less character customisation and more zany
4 is 3 but with less GTA, more Prototype, and more zany
Gat out of Heck is 4 but the links to reality are getting really very thin
The story continues from SR1 to GooH, but Agents of Mayhem and 5 are both reboots
No one has played SR1 tho

Making fun of reddit soys and being ungovernable in general is just how I squeeze the last few drops of joy available out of a hobby after it ruins itself for mainstream acceptance. There will never be a good Guilty Gear again anyway so there's no motivation for me to not shame all the newcomers and make sure they know that the game was neutered to appeal to their childlike palate.
Who tf follows a saints row subreddit anyway? When a redditor buys a game, do they immediately hop on reddit and subscribe to its sub? Is reading and sharing tenth percentile opinions online an integral part of the experience for them?

I dunno what people expected. Once your franchise go to space you kind put yourself into a corner.
Like, why not expanding on the concept? Why rebooting it in the first place?
