I like how the dealbreaker that made me not pre-order this was just the fact that there's no radio. :v:

Listening to '80s pop music while everything explodes is an 100% essential part of the open world genre experience.

Eh, I just end up playing my own music in the background a few hours in when the radio gets played out. It's disappointing but not a deal breaker for me.

Yeah, honestly the radio in SRIV got pretty boring after a while and I switched to my "THE MIX" Spotify playlist. I suppose I could just do that from the start if when I play GooH, but goddammit there should at least be some Meatloaf in the game :colbert:

When they reboot Saints Row, I imagine that they'll go back to their roots, you as some no-name gangbanger trying to unite the gangs...and then when you accomplish this 100%, the equivalent of Castlevania Symphony of the Night kicks in and you've got another 100% to complete as much more extreme content emerges. Maybe it goes all the way to space aliens, maybe not.

I really don't see them going back to Regular Gangbanger. That's a pretty full territory and no matter what you're losing in comparison to GTA. Going balls-to-the-wall-crazy gives them both a niche that nothing else is filling and makes it easier to design interesting new mechanics.

A reboot as some no name gangbanger in one of the Saints' space colonies, where the local boss is an rear end in a top hat and you end up leading a revolution against him. Make it exotic and cyberpunky.

Pimp cane shotguns and blinged-out El Caminos in black, purple and gold are much cooler than all this superpower and sci-fi nonsense. :colbert:

They'll never be able to please everyone with the direction the next game takes, unless you get to choose whether you want to be a criminal kingpin or superpowered God-Emperor of the galaxy and have completely different storylines for each path. Which will not happen.

That is true, but if they want to keep the balls-to-the-wall crazy direction, it's not like they can take the superpowers and all that poo poo out of the next game. They'd just make up some handwavy excuse for your superpowers working in the real world, and no one would mind.

The Boss was in a coma and never woke up in Saints Row 2. Everything past the boat blowing up in SR1 was a coma induced dream. Saints Row 5 is basically a remake of 2 but with a better engine.

I don't care for the "it was all a dream" trope very much, but since the Saints are now able to pull off all sorts of time travel shenanigans and probably warp the fabric of time and space, I wouldn't mind seeing an alternate timeline where the boss somehow already knows what's going to happen on the boat and doesn't get blown up.

edit: and yes, SR2 with a better engine and a bunch of new gangs to blow up is literally all I want from SR5.

This is what I want out of the next game:

Saints Row 5: Saints in Time

Game opens with Kinzie loving around with Zinyak's time machine mentioned at the end of SR4, and poo poo Goes Wrong. There's an explosion, and all the crew ends up strewn throughout time. So you as the Boss have to go back to these different periods of history to pick up your homies, and while you're there you inevitably gently caress poo poo up so much that everyone starts repping the Row. Like, you go back to save Gat and he's hanging with Genghis Khan, then things happen and by the time you leave the dude is a full-on homie and his armies are reppin the purple. Or Pierce ends up in France sometime and you make him the Purple King while busting his rear end out. You end up literally re-writing history so much that, by the time Zinyak shows up with his fleet (at the end of the game), President Boss has had so many hints and clues and even outright future tech laid out for him/her that when Zinyak shows up the Boss is like "Oh, hey, it's you, gently caress off" blows the entire fleet out of the sky and the game ends with a view of a literal Planet Saints. :unsmigghh:

This was a huge problem with both 3 and 4. All of the funny bits were in the trailers and when I played the games it was disappointing to realize that I had already seen all the good stuff before I even played it. Gat coming back for 4 should not have been a marketing point.

You say that, but for me that was literally the only reason I gave them the benefit of the doubt and pre-ordered. So to each their own I guess.

Guys, I can't believe no one has said this yet, but y'all better buy GOoH otherwise there isn't gonna be a SR5. I didn't pre-order, the review makes it sound terrible, but the writing is on the wall.

Volition needs money, and they blew half the loving budget on marketing to get you to buy the drat thing cuz they need the cash.

Yeah, if Gamestop doesn't honor the 4.99 I'll just pick it up on Steam when it inevitably drops that low, probably during the summer sale. This isn't worth $20. If Volition needs money they probably shouldn't have sold a bloated expansion as a full sequel.

They're doing well enough that they created an entirely new team which is developing Gat Outta Hell while the actual Saints Row team works on their next proper game. Which is exactly why I haven't been hyped about GOH.

I bought it for five bucks but apparently it's going to be twenty instead, though I thought there was some sort of law about honoring whatever the price is even if there's a fuckup.
