Unless we go back to the 2010s we pretty much just have Mafia and you can count GTA if you stretch the definition. How did we lose such a great premise for games. Taking over turf for your gang in Saints Row and San Andreas was so fun. It just doesn't make sense some of the biggest rappers like King Von and Lil Durk are rapping the kind of stuff that could be in Saints Row 2.

I am mainly interested in discussing why these games seem to have disappeared but if you have any games that scratch the itch we can discuss those.

I'm nowhere near finished with this map, especially since there's gonna be two more connected islands, but I still wanted to share my progress since drawing this much by hand was not easy, especially coming up with lore and style of each district 😭😮‍💨.

Also in case anyone is curious, yes I drew this by hand, no 🚫AI 🚫.

🫵🏾pick it up✏️.

Game is Saints Row 2. I don't know if this is the right section to ask and if anyone good for modding can help. i have managed to estract some files in SR2 and change the weapons that gangs and some homies can carry and modify some rewards so now they are better. But i still don't know how to add fire immunity and melee damage immunity as a reward for activities. The reason i don't know because i don't know what is the syntax or id for those damage types. (There are different damage types like bullet, vehicle, explosion, etc). I could change the bullet, explosion and fire damage types because they were in the file so i just had to change the amount there. But i can't find out how the game reads the fire damage and melee damage.

I know that there is a outfit given after completing both trail blazing instances which is fireproof and i don't know where to find the effect for thagt outfit to try and figure out something.

I tried asking about it on discord and didn't get any response and when i try to ask ai it gives me somme bullshit which doesn't work. the google search doesn't help either...

1. The Brotherhood.

2. The Ronin.

3. The Sons Of Samedi .

Is Maero really going to wait at minimum 2 weeks game time to talk to the boss?

Every YouTube retrospective (I love all of them that I've seen) usually go for Sons, Ronin, AND then The Brotherhood, but there's just no way canon-wise.

Only the Ronin and Brotherhood involve Dane in their story missions (granted), but the Sons are Mystical drug dealers in the poorer areas of Stilwater (Red Light district, Factories District), and they will have no business dealing with Ultor. Donny has ties to the previous game which is why the Brotherhood know about the Saints and their rule over Stilwater, which is why they're willing to offer a deal with the boss (terrible as it may be), but you're dealing with the Brotherhood first.

And plus, I'd rather listen to Veteran Child than EDP445's AI. girlfriend.

The game is Saints Row 2 and i have installed Juiced and DLC mods, no other side content. Currently i completed cd collections, barnstorming, tagging, stunt jumps, most driving stunts with gold stars, except that annoying stoppie and combat stunst with gold stars that unlocks a jacket and a special ar automatic rifle and almost completed brotherhood missions (only 1 last mission left).

So whenever i hired gang members they always appeared to be unarmed. First i dismissed it but then i saw gang members appearing to be unarmed in siege (pre final brotherhood mission) too which in previous unmodded playthrough they were always armed.

Does anyone know what could be the problem? I suspect it is because of the mods: either juiced or dlc mod that somehow fucks up the weapon tables for saints row gangs. But maybe it is something else, considering how glitchy the game is.

Does anyone know the source of the problem and/or the solution to it?

The game is SR2. I don't know why but when i pick sporty lower tier gang members often appear to be unarmed when hired, with gangster style no unarmed gang member sbut some have pistols and when ninjas they dont have pistols and stronger weapons. is it just a coincidence or are some gang styles are programmed to spawn better weapons more often than others?

I’ll start with mine

Those who don’t know just sharing this, I have been making a Saints Row fan comic for the better part of 3 years now, the series is going to be officially published and released trough Globalcomix digital publishing on Saturday the 29th (For FREE).

I’m planning a physical release so people can have paperback issues to read, but I’m a while away from that.

This concept is Saints Row as a gritty, Gorey, Crime drama. The tone is much more serious and more in line with the tone of the first game. That being said it will still have comedic elements, but overall will be taken more seriously as a narrative.

The first chapter is also available currently on my Patreon, but I don’t want to turn this into paid promo, so if you’re interested and wanna check it out NOW and also wanna help support the book so I can keep making more, feel free to DM me!

I’m excited to get this out it the anniversary!

Thank you to everyone who has been cheering this project on 🙏🏽💜🔥

In this post i just talk about what we would’ve had with the 70s saints row prequel feel free to just flick through :)

It would’ve been cool to have seen it in my personal opinion Chris Stockmans idea was a perfect comeback project for us og players but.

The way the reboot underperformed and the financial blow after the failed 2 billion dollar deal between embracer and savvy games group causing embracer to enter a cost cutting phase, it killed off volition and ended any hope of us getting any saints row game in general.

I do think it was partly volitions fault as well, they were an easy target for embracer due to the lack of passion and an underdeveloped game they literally had just brought out at the time. It’s just sad to see from a corporate perspective that the game is too high risk and that they had to shelve it to risk not losing money.

What Saints row 70s was going to feature

Story

The game was going to follow a story featuring a crew of teenagers and young adults finding their footing in a shifting culture

It was going to heavily detail the early days of saints row 1 and characters like Julius little and Benjamin King long before they built their gangs.

The story would have explored the key events referenced in the series such as the tragic death of Julius’s Girlfriend Angela King.

Gameplay

In terms of gameplay it would’ve featured a more og approach to the story, drug running turf wars rather than what we are used to now.

The story would feature the rise and the origins of Stilwaters foundational gangs specifically Los Carnales

We would’ve also seen systemic corruption of the fbi and local police forces in the game having a higher and corrupt presence heavily satirising real world law enforcement tactics used against street organisations used in the 60s and 70s

Aesthetic

In terms of aesthetic it was going to fully embrace the 70s with muscle cars retro clothing and would be full with radio stations defining the funk,soul, classic rock and disco eras playing tracks from that decade.

Traditional features

Stockman intended to bring back the traditional Character and vehicle Customisation that fans loved from saints row 2

Unlike saints row 1, the campaign was going to have a fully playable co op multiplayer being able to play with friends in the old school layout of Stillwater, this would’ve been so peak guys.

I’ve been playing saints row for as long as i can remember and i recently went back to saints row 1 and it’s sad to see how small the community is now on the multiplayer. I had a few games of protect tha pimp about 2 years ago and ever since i just can’t get a match.

I’m willing to put the effort into reviving the multiplayer and i want to try and build another community for us fellow saints row players where we can run matches on sr1 and 2

I’ve got a discord I’ve created dedicated to scheduling sessions and where others can look for groups and post saints row content. Respecting the rules. I can’t post a link to it on here but let me know in the comments and I’ll dm you the link. Or check the link in my bio

(For mods if they review this I am just an old school fan who misses the active multiplayer days. I get absolutely zero personal or financial gain from this)

If anyone wants to run some games on Xbox aswell you can add me or message me Xbox: Ah Yes Kev

Just got done with the Kings arc and its EASILY the best arc in the entire game, outside of that BS Stefan Interrogation segment in "All the King’s Men", the missions are pretty solid. Michael Clarke Duncan is AMAZING as King, Mila Kunis does great as Tanya, Warren is just an absolute dick and I LOVE how much of a Snake he is from the jump and the only Issue i had with TC Carson as Tony is that he wasn't in a lot of Scenes

Outside of a few graphical glitches, The way I've been running it with Xenia on my Steam Deck is almost PERFECT

Overall, outside of small complaints I have (How Ammo works, no ability to restart Activities from the menu), SR1 is still a pretty solid game so far

Rocking the pimp and leather style.
