It's probably been brought up here before but I didn't realize that there are cut audio logs in the game files for Donnie, Lin, William Sharp, and Viola. At the very least it 100% seems like Donnie was intended to be part of the group but was cut.

There was also an achievement back when the list first leaked entitled "DeWynter Blues", so Viola was up until recently going to be included in some fashion.

I have a pretty good feeling we're in for some good DLC down the line.

Speaking of missed opportunities, I realized recently that they could have gone a lot darker with one part of the game.

The Boss's unique torture could have played out as an endless driving sequence where she's chasing after Carlos being dragged off by a car, forever. It'd be an endless loop and then Kinzie has to convince The Boss to stop even though she doesn't want to.

You'd miss out on Leave it to the Saints because of that, but it seemed strange that the simulation didn't pull from any actual bad memories, because The Boss sure has 'em.

We're all doomed
Those cut characters are all still in the game as functional homies (albeit all flagged with "Maybe DLC"). Donnie and Viola have voice acting, with Viola saying brand new stuff so she was definitely part of the game during the Enter the Dominatrix days. Viola looks as she did in SRTT but Donnie's outfit is Matrix styled and he has super powers. We know from the accidentally leaked videos that Donnie will be making a return in the upcoming DLC, no sign of Viola though.

I've touched on this before in the thread but while we're on the subject, one cut homie that probably doesn't have any chance of being included in DLC is Phillipe Loren. He lacks audio logs and an entry in the homies file but if you make him into a homie anyway he is also fully voiced, right down to having audio for answering the phone when you summon him. He obviously would have been a reconstructed ally after Gat's loyalty mission but didn't make it for some reason.

Well, you'd also end up alienating everybody who hadn't played SR2. And that'd be like the second thing you do in the game. Fight an alien invasion, and then be put into an endless chase sequence regarding a character you probably don't recognize if you're new to the series, and you win by not doing something. That's the sort of thing that would immediately get killed in playtesting.

The Boss's torture should have been the opening to Saints Row but Julius never recruits them. Like The Boss said, life before the Saints didn't really matter. So I imagine never being asked to join is their personal hell.

This was pretty much exactly what I figured as well.

But then I was all Man, they could've just had him stay on the ship and work in some sort of "Oh, his brain is too advanced for the simulation to work" handwave explanation instead of making it so that depressing as hell Kinzie audio log ever has to exist. There better be some DLC that has us finding Oleg floating around safely on a rock in space and we pick him up.

EDIT: Or even better, he can't fit in the chair and all the tubes are too small for him.

On that note, I found it odd there was no mention of Troy. Dex got a mention and it's understandable that the extent of his appearance since he was only in SR1 and a SR2 DLC, but Troy was in the main SR2 game. I find it amusing that the only people that went after the boss and *lived* happened to be Saints at one point.

Oh well another loose thread for another game perhaps.

I don't think it's smaller, but since they finally let you listen to it on-foot, it just makes it feel smaller.

It's hard to say actually. It didn't look like anyone from the previous games was in their simulation. There was a cameo mention of Dex, but the simulation doesn't let the Boss create a version of him. There's no telling on how exactly many times the scenario restarted and stopped before the Boss managed to break out.

I'm having the same problem but in SR2, actually. I always felt like KRhyme had a lot of variety on SRIV, but I've heard "Gangsta Bitch" at least a dozen times in the short time I've played.

It's so loving hard to play SR2 ever since I got spoiled about Carlos, though. I've killed mafia and galactic empires with Pierce and Shaundi, but Carlos saved my loving life in that prison, and he's so goddamn cool and on top of his poo poo... but I know that he isn't gonna make it. :smith:

I look forward to modding in my own songs. Since it already makes things dance I figured I might go look up some DDR tracks. Alternately, throw in something truly horrible like My Chemical Romance which will force you to use things other than the dubstep gun before DFA unless you're so mad at whatever you're shooting that you're willing to punish yourself to punish it.

I kinda want one that plays Sympathy for the Devil.

Oh, one other alternate thought. Kinzie stuck the Boss in her simulation after she broke out. Dunno why she would do that, but but the boss's original simulation could have been the actual fake Steelport post-SRTT intro that you actually play in.

1) Consider what happens in "Leave It to the Saints!". The Boss struggles to eat pancakes or grab the paper. Literally can't drive recklessly. Clearly doesn't get much respect because look where she lives - it's a suburban house like anyone else's! It takes at least all of her power just to swear!

It's definitely an appropriate hell - one where the Boss has no latitude, power or authority, just a lot of people uselessly sucking up and a life on rails - but it's pretty subtle. I'm not really surprised it was lost on the Boss.

Also a version of Steelport with no mining, refining or navigable water - in other words, nothing to make either Steel or Port make sense. The gently caress?

I never believed that Kinzie would have anything to do with the Boss (or really anyone but Oleg) if the Saints weren't so convenient for her, but this is pretty cold-blooded.

I wouldn't really consider it cold-blooded; Kinzie's reasoning behind it could be that it's so foreign to the Boss that they'd realize it and end up breaking it far sooner than their own regular nightmare simulation.

My simulation override filters apparently break every time I load my save. For example, if I have it set to Modern, it looks like this after loading:



instead of this, which is what it's supposed to look like:



Now, I think the game actually looks better in the above pic, but in some parts of the city the filter suddenly starts working properly for a few seconds and it's really jarring. Going back to the computer to reset the filter fixes the problem, but it's pretty annoying to do that every time I start the game.

So, quick word to the wise. One of Laura Bailey's previous roles was Rayne from the Bloodrayne series of games, which is probably one of her more recognizable video game roles before Saints Row. However, this does not make it a good idea to attempt to recreate Rayne's costume from memory using whatever stock you can pull from Leather & Lace.
