Thanks, it was bugging me since I'm pretty sure I got an in-game acknowledgement of playing as both genders.

I've been digging around the internet, but I can't seem to find the answers to these two questions: First, who is the guy that pops out of Shaundi's nightmare portal as an ally? I don't recognize him from anywhere. Second, who is the bald black guy in the final scenes of the game? I can't find him referenced anywhere, either?

Got this weird idea/hope that the next game will basically be Chrono Trigger but with Saints Row. You got your time travelling spaceship, your established cast, plenty of opportunity for past and future shenanigans. Hell, I wouldn't even mind smaller world spaces spread out over different periods with unique elements for each. I think that the size of a world isn't nearly as important as the amount of incidental crap you can do in them.

Considering that a new game would likely be for the XBox One, it's possible to have several Steelport-sized worlds, each in a different time. Dead Rising 3's map was bigger than both of the previous games' combined, right?

Pretty sure the limitation is more of a "making and testing all these cities would be a huge amount of work" thing than a hardware issue. Personally I'd like the idea someone mentioned way earlier in the thread, of having a single city but having different neighborhoods be from different eras. I just want Asaintssin's Crow

It's an entirely different character model, from the shape of the nose, brow ridge to even the ears! They just changed him to Morpheus as a joke.

You could hardly miss him in his post-loyalty-mission unlocks, though. But yeah, powering up off-screen is entirely consistent with Ben King.

In this thread or one of the older SRTT ones, someone made their boss the Nameless One, and now that I'm actually playing PST it just seems like such a perfect match; murky past, ability to shrug off injuries that would kill another man, affinity for snapping necks, eventual ability to lay waste to all around him with godlike powers...the perfect gimmick playthrough?

I got this on Steam over Christmas, but just now got around to installing it and blew through it over my Spring Break. All I need to get 100% on my file are the challenges for mech suit kills, warden kills, and Death From Above kills. Not looking forward to doing the last one, seeing as how what counts as a kill is surprisingly finicky. That goes for a few kill-based achievements I'm missing out on as well. Building notoriety doesn't summon the kinds of enemies that are useful for them. I should almost certainly have "Experimental Tech" by now, but it didn't trigger. "Where's My Cape?" is bugged, because I have every upgrade, purchasable or otherwise

Makes achievement grinding much easier.

I found that freezing guys and shattering them with Death From Above counts for both the achievement and the challlenge, so the King of the Hill round in hard Super Powered Fight Club was perfect for that. Also, it turns out I was actually missing the Inflatobeam part of a Experimental Tech despite finishing the challenge. Does I Am become Death needs to be completed in one play through? A little less than 200 kills and I'm done with all the achievements except the coop ones and Where's my Cape, which is was glitched out of.

If the next Saints Row continues with aliens, it should take place in a Coruscant-sequence megalopolis populated by a variety of species, or have Stillwater, saved due to time-travel shenanigans, become a cosmopolitan center of intergalactic culture. Ooo, or maybe the Boss time travels back to Earth to take over, and the only hope in defeating his/her evil regime is a younger version of the Saints.

Tiggum posted:It works fine so long as they just travel to one place and time rather than jumping around all over the place. Like, the first mission could be them getting sent back in time, then something goes wrong and the rest of the game is them trying to get back home, which first involves taking over whichever city they're stranded in. Thinking too small. Have some sort of Hideous Time gently caress which ends up crashing different time periods into one another so you can walk two miles from Ancient Rome and end up in Medieval England, which is two doors down from Atlantis which is suffering an invasion from the Prehistoric Era located right next door, with the Ming Dynasty next to that. Sort of like that one Doctor Who episode with Holy Roman Emperor Winston Churchill.

I think we're all going to buy the next Saint's Row either way, but a reboot would be a bit disappointing just because "crew of likeable characters that have taken the streets, conquered the corporate world, become president, killed an alien invader and are now the only surviving humans also they rule a technologically advanced space empire" is honestly just pretty rare. In any medium really. The Saint's Row franchise has legitimately built this ridiculous amazing situation and I'd rather they keep pushing on with it, rather than going back to killing rival gang bangers and escaping police cars. I can get that anywhere. There's only one place I can get the ongoing saga of the Saints.

Volition came up with the flimsiest of excuses to reuse Steelport and change the cops to aliens (and then reuse old gangs again) but change the setting radically and you're running the risk of pushing away at least some of an established base. Saints Row games, or at least the big advertised Saints Row games, will likely stay the way they are.

The boss lands on a planet that happens to look exactly like Stilwater except everybody looks like weird freaky aliens. They then proceed to make a new gang, the Third Street Saints, and induct new members, with Keith David running the gang. It is then an exact remake of Saints Row 1, except the characters are different and everybody has creepy alien faces. It is both a sequel and a reboot, and it is implied that this sort of thing has happened before many times, and that our Saints were just the latest in a long line of Saints who eventually got their planets blown up by being badasses.

I love the characters of Saints Row, but I'm cool with a complete reboot as long as they ingrain the series' lunacy into the core. Going back to an open world crime GTA knockoff would be ill advised, considering GTA V met a tepid critical response despite several improvements.

I'd love to see an online freeroam like Red Dead/GTA did & let me join a bunch of other goons in causing mayhem. 64 players, 4 gangs of 16, go nuts. They've already delved well into the world of parody, why not go all the way? Give me a Gun Game where everyone starts with purple floppy dick bats and builds up to throwing fireballs and summoning sharks. Occasionally someone stumbles into a powerup and becomes a colossal ball of yarn. Zach and Bobby give commentary. Hell it doesn't even need a single-player mode. I'd pay just to have the wacky fun Saints Row is known for with a lot more people at once.

Narcissus1916 posted:Going back to an open world crime GTA knockoff would be ill advised, considering GTA V met a tepid critical response despite several improvements. Have you considered that that may be because GTA has never actually been very good? People loved GTA because there was nothing else like it, so you put up with its flaws, but while other games like Saints Row and Sleeping Dogs have come along and shown how to make "GTA but not terrible", GTA just carries on being GTA. If they made what was essentially another Saints Row 2, but modernised and with the various improvements the genre has seen since it first came out, it would probably be very well received. People aren't sick of sandbox crime games, it's just that GTA has some actual competition now and can't afford to be poo poo any more.

You can say and IV and V were not really that great, that the good was followed by a lot of bad, but Vice City and San Andreas can legitimately great games that hold up really well, as long as you can get over how crummy the character models look.

I kinda agree with this, though SR2 is still probably my favorite, and that game really just took the design philosophies that made San Andreas great (big open world filled with secrets, crazy customization and random fun stuff to do) a few steps further and dropped the serious storyline about respecting your family in the hood or whatever.
