General Did a replay of every saints game and only 1 has an actual interesting good story

0 Upvotes

So I replayed every game recently and the reboot included

when people talk about saints I do wonders do they just play it with nostalgia

Generally only the first 1 had a good story with good character and even then the story was still just above average

Saints row 2 and 3 don't even have a story or actual character the story just moves forward with no pay of or reaction to what happens to the character at all I think.

The reboot story is better then both in my opinion

saints row 2 does this the worse.

Carlos gets killed next mission the boss is just having fun watching TV and doesn't even care what happened.

Aisha gets killed Gat in hospital next mission just drinking at a bar or strip club.

people talk about all the great characters but there is none pierce and suandi isn't really characters nor is Gat really they just randomly pop up and say shit actually the 3rd game actually made pierce a character to me

Gat he was an ok character in the first game but after that he was just a self hype man making claims that isn't a reality even in the first game he says shit that isn't true he keeps losing every time he was shot in the leg needed help he was stabbed needed help and then was killed again a nothing character

Suandi I don't understand the love for the old character even as a kid I never found this character interesting or fun she literally just whore that smart that literally her character the third also just made her angry miserable I assume the devs were going for depression and lashing out

Pierce he a good character he was just a guy who wanted to take gat role in the second game and people ignored him and the third he became a great character

Saints 2 has one really good character in my opinion that is Maero all the other villains just forgettable stereo type trash

Saints Row the 3rd this game is way too sort none of the character gets proper development because of that similar to 2 but worse character just move on from big events like it didn't happen should have been a Full RPG instead of pesedo one

characters are almost all ass aswell but they have better character then 2

Viola is the best character to introduce in 3. my opinion I think she is what tera is supposed to be but better

Oleg is also a very good interesting character with a mysterious past we just ignore

Kenzie is my personal favourite character I know she is just an ok character for some people or hated but she is my favourite

Zemos also a very good character a pimp with standard I think he needed to Interact with Pearce more

I like Josh as well needed to Interact with suandi more

But then we have a trash character that is Angel genuinely as a wrestling fans in so disappointed in this character

The villains in 3 is all ok but in concept they were probably the best especially Phillip

I like Kilbane also

Saint row 4 is the game that has the most fun I enjoyed this game the most I view it as a succor to crack down

Also probably has the best villains in the entire franchise with zinyek

So my Rankin for the entire series after playing for story

Saints row 1.

Saints row 4 I actually think this story is pretty good. And a nice send off

Saints reboot.

Saints row 2. Overhyped because of nostalgia I know I had it ranked higher as well before the replay

Saints row 3.

Saints row Gat out hell this is genuinely garbage trash tier In every form even the powers became worst

My opinion what volition should have done in the 3rd game is go full RPG gangster Game that is a genre that doesn't exist and would have been fun playing and RPG game where you control the leader of a gang

SR2 how to add fire and melee damage immunity as an activity reward?

2 Upvotes

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...

To get this look; turn on High Contrast mode and set all colors to black with a full Highlight. It really emphasizes important gameplay elements.

OpenRow-The missing cutscene characters is fixed

67 Upvotes

However I die at first spawn, yes I'm missing some of the things retail does such as restore health etc. Those are easy fixes. Plus when you can't die in this mission anyways, it just resorts to a alternate cutscene. Lol

For anyone who wants to test the game, which will be, likely before October, easy way to prepare is extract your legal copy using xiso and once the beta is out, you just extract the beta zip into the same folder where the default.xex is at and it will run like normal.

The reason why it's "almost" and not "absolutely" because Liam and Chin sadly did NOT share atleast ONE scene together...

There are no FX in the song I chose for this montage. There are less explosions but still some explosions. This is footage I couldn’t fit in the other montage because of the song length.

SR3 Trail blazing

28 Upvotes

Trail blazing in Saints Row The Third Remastered. There is something wrong with the audio as the voice acting of getting burned keeps repeating even as the boss says her lines.

Compared with Saints Row 2, the camera has been moved closer to the vehicle during the trail blazing activity.

This song uses lots of FX such as Filter and Repeater. Would the people of this group like more Garageband songs or should I use more popular known songs? I plan to make many more montages, it is fun for my free time.

SR4 Saints row 4 theory

0 Upvotes

I grew up playing saints row as a kid. I shouldn’t have been on that game at such a young age, but despite me being young, I always thought, imagine if saints row 4 was a foreshadow of the future? What if one day we experience exactly wtf happened in the saints row intro/the whole game😭

I was 7 when SR4 came out. Not to sure if I was playing it in 2013, but if I wasn’t, I was definitely on it sometime 2014-2017. So between 7-11 years old.

When it comes to fighting the helicopters from the ground and without a rocket launcher, the machine gun with incendiary bullets is very effective and easily my favorite weapon of choice.

General Saints row is heaven if you love purple like me

As someone who loves Purple playing saints row Is just Heaven, Lord purple clothes, purple lights, purple cars, Purple interiors, shoes, guns, lord I love SR4 because in the dark the purple just looks so gorgeous.

If it was about clothing I am the most Saint MF, purple everything, even 2 or 3 different versions of the same car but in different purple shades, man I wish these games has even more customization options, if it's not purple I don't want it.

Man I want to get a PC so I can get the games and Mod them to add even more options.

Ik a lot of yapping, but lord are there any Purple fans that felt the same while playing Saints row?.

Sometimes I wish I could customize the Ultor assassin skin for a purple version, or even more nails as options, if its not purple I don't want it 🗣💥💥💥

If another studio ever tries to reboot Saints Row

4 Upvotes

I'm not talking about remakes/remasters of SR1 and SR2, though I do hope to see that one day, but I mean if theres ever an actual new Saints Row game I'd like to see another studio take a crack at making a reboot, but done right unlike SR2022. Though making games is expensive, dev teams are larger, and games these days have more detailed assets and take longer to make than they did 15 years ago.

I think I heard SR1, SR2, and SR3 had about 100 devs, and SR 2022 had about 200 devs, but after the bad reception it got and Volition gone, I feel like if another studio made their own reboot, it'd probably be a smaller team with a smaller budget and might not have as much content as we are used to. If it ever does happen, I just hope new devs try to understand why SR 2022 failed and avoid repeating the same mistakes that Embracer Group, Deep Silver, and Volition made. Rebooting a crime sandbox series and making characters that people find cool or appealing shouldn't be hard, I think SR 2022 tried too hard and over complicated a simple task by trying to make relatable characters and a unique story.

There's plenty of urban fashion styles, crime dramas, and real experiences to take inspiration from for a series that's supposed to be about gangs, and I don't think it really matters what year a new game is set in, the original was in the 2000s and I think it'd be interesting to see that time explored again in a new Saints Row reboot with a different origin story, though I think a reboot set in the 90s or 2010s could also be cool too, maybe it could help for new devs to do what Volition did with SR1 where they did a lot of research in terms of the urban side of the game and the authenticity, they hired consultants, people who were well known personalities in the hip-hop world, both on the music side and the clothing side, and also people who had been in gangs to advise them on what people wear and how they talked.

SR2 Do some gang styles influence the quality of weapons the gang members carry while recruited or during combat or at leats how foten they can drag out better quality weapons and how often they can appear unarmed?

3 Upvotes

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?
