I dont understand the hate of this reboot.
Can anyone Explain me?
It looks like the identity they leaned heavy into for SR3-4 is all but gone. SR3 in my opinion was the game that solidified saints row as the wacky , dumb fun, fast and furious bat shit open world game that didnt take itself serious. The new one looks like the characters are trying to be taken serious, and same goes for how they frame some of the action.
Some of the wacky stuff is for sure in there, but i think the absurd stuff like piledriving pedestrians on the street is gone. That shit made me laugh every time I was running around with a purple dildo bat.
Also all the music cue's in that game were hilarious as well. IT WAS very self aware of what it was, and made fun of other games like GTA. I feel saints row embraced the ridiculous side of stuff and even made enemies characters super offensive and ridiculous on purpose to be hilarious. And it was, I would play that shit and laugh my ass off at some of the things the characters did and things you the player could do.
These new characters look way too real and also unrelatable in terms of saints row's identity which to me felt it was a game that made fun of a lot of pop culture in movies and games through it's ridiculous premise and cast of characters.
This new feels like the combat and all that is there with wacky stuff, but the offensive takes on enemies, bosses, and just your crew is gone. And it feels like they want to force you to like them.
Who point of saints row was to make a ridiculous player throught he creator that could be giant and buff like steroids freak with a English accent basically making it like Gui Richie film.
I see none of that stuff here outside of lighting/colors of the game looks similar to saints row.
