Or maybe 2 and 4, 3's humor really, really doesn't hold up

3 tried to be ironic and meta about the franchise's success and uh...did exactly the poo poo it was poking fun at
4 was different, fun enough, but also kinda odd it was a SR game at all
Agents of Mayhem :lmao:
SR 2022 could have been good, I genuinely believe this. Needed another year of development since its engine was dog rear end, and the writing needed another pass. There's nuggets of interesting ideas that just don't really go anywhere.

This is all to say Saints Row 2 was a loving accident and its shocking how much inertia the franchise has had

Even if it did 4's humor is still way ahead of 3's.

going back through my Playnite catalog and adding more theme tags, e.g. "Restoring color to the world". Under "Land of food", I have

- A Gummy's Life
- All-Star Fruit Racing
- Cake Bash
- Gummy Bears: MiniGolf for the Wii - The motion-control is reputed to be the better than any non-VR motion control mini-golf game, but I haven't tried it yet. There was also a Gummy Bears platformer, but it was terrible
- Ice Cream Surfer
- Juicy Realm
- King Boo
- Pizza Tower
- The Simpsons Game

I'm going to go through games I'd tagged "2.5D sidescroller" and tag them like "2D sidescroller with 3D rendering" (these are commonly tagged both 2D and 3D on Steam because people aren't on the same page whether they're talking about gameplay or art style), "Parallax scrolling", and "2.5D hallway sidescroller". The last is for games where you can actually move like 10 feet along the z-axis and there are some open lobbies but not much more 3D movement than that, things like Wario World that were marketed as 3D back when 3D games had fixed camera angles a lot more often

Saints Row was a mediocre GTA clone. With Saints Row 2 they expanded and improved on the first game and created a really good GTA clone with its own distinct style and flavor. But then they decided they didn’t want to make GTA clones anymore. Even though all people wanted was a different option for scratching the GTA itch.

Saints Row 5 - After being able to travel through space and time, the gang wake up after the biggest party ever with the biggest hangover,
to find Steelport is fractured across time and space.
One is in medivel, one is prehistoric, one current time frame, one Ultor SR1/2, one futuristic, etc
And you do the same poo poo but this time your riding a Velociraptor smacking people with a Jousting Dildo.While Aha is playing
Medivel dung cart spreading on peasants, car insurance with fifth element cars, taking over terrorities bit by bit.
And thats just a minute about thinking of a sequel.

I understand the desire to modernize Saints Row a bit, as was said previously a lot of that wacky stuff hasn't aged the best, but from what I've seen of 2022, I don't think that was it.

it was a weirdly popular VN with normies on Steam because it was a bartender game where you serve drinks to characters as you hear their life stories in a cyberpunk world. every other character is an adult, and then dorothy shows up and is like "yea i'm a sex worker robot designed to look like a child to cater to pedophiles, anyway can i have a beer" and it's like, whattttt arrrreee youuuu doiiiinnng gaaaame pull up pull up pull up

her arrival basically sus-magnifies the fact that the other characters also have pretty youthful faces but they had plausible deniability by being like "well, we don't actually ENDORSE the off-screen behaviors in the world it's just a negative aspect of the cyberpunk universe"

unfortunately there's been no 2d platformer on that level this year, but Mario Wonder does come out in october...

this has been the year of the retro shooter instead. 3 of my top 6 are retro shooters (HROT, Quake 2 Remaster/Call of the Machine, Slayers X) and if i had Turbo Overkill i bet it'd be top 10 as well

e: also Blood West later this year

I picked up SR Reboot yesterday because it was $20 for its Steam debut and $20 for an alleged Tripple A game these days is a steal. Haven't touched it yet because, well, Armored Core 6, but I'm interested to see if it's as bad as the review bombing chud crowd thinks it is or what.
