I was going to let this slide since it's such an utterly low effort and pathetic attempt at a comeback, but instead of responding directly I'll take the time to pick apart your flimsy and halfbaked arguments in your initial post. Woke isn't about 'de-normalizing' normal behavior, it's about being insufferably self righteous and treating everyone that disagrees with you like garbage. You'll note I hadn't replied until I read that take of your's- you were the one to attack 'non-woke' people first. Secondly, your claim that everyone that doesn't act 'woke' is a bigot and don't care for people... wow, nice. Really classy there. Believe it or not, there are good, reasonable and kind people that don't agree with you. Hell there are good, reasonable and kind people that don't agree with me either. The difference is that I'm not the one so high up on my high horse that I decided to attack them in a self righteous blaze of glory because they believed in a term I didn't. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, a distinction must be made between the people who are actual bigots and the people who simply get offended by minorities and any attempts to curtail bigotry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people that take offence on behalf of those minorities as if they don't have a voice for themselves, and ignore said minorities if they happen to disagree with your enlightened opinion. And implying I'm a Neo Nazi, seriously? Guess that so-called 'kindness and tolerance' you keep preaching about only extends to people that agree with you, huh? By the way, immedietly going for ad hominem is a sign you clearly weren't able to argue the points I was making, which isn't surprising since you're both so determined to attack anyone remotely right of your preachy, far-left nonsense. The game sucks, it's writing is dreadful, and you're both desperately grasping at straws to defend it.

This too, I agree. Simply being a homosexual or living a trans life etc. isn't woke. I dispute against the act of virtue signalling; it's dishonest, scummy and is practiced often by many major corporations from the film, TV and video game industries to disguise the fact they really don't give two shits about the sexual orientation and/or preferences of anybody consuming their products (a.k.a. giving them money). Disney didn't just release a movie (Strange World) with the lead role being a gay biracial dude because they care about men who are of two races and/or attracted to the same sex, now did they? NOPE! Mickey Mouse did so by executive order over all those involved in the making of said movie to go balls deep into the pants wallets of said groups because "that rodent" and his suits making these decisions from lib-right love playing pretend lib-left. Me calling out entertainment/media corp. over content being forcibly taken in the exact, if not a direction very simimar to that of which the Saint's Row reboot took does not make me a garbage person nor does it mean I fear any person for the reason being that they are of LGBT+ status. Speaking of which... ...Can somebdy who's actually played the game confirm to me if one, EVEN ONE of Saint's Row 22's four poster children is LGBT+? I wanna know just how on-topic I am but to be honest I'm too stupid to do my own research on this newest installment in a franchise of which it's veteran fans don't root for, is of these wimps gay or bisexual? Yes? No? Maybe two of them? If so, then whatever. I judge people by character, not their skin or in this case, who they are and love. Once again, I am not a garbage person. Absolutely. There always has been and there always will be. Thank you. Someone finally came out and said it. Saints Row is such a departure from the past games. I didn’t think Saints Row IV or Gat out of Hell were great, just passable enough for a playthrough. The developers attitude towards the fan base was what turned me off. That one guy said the jokes and pun are no longer fit for a modern audience, therefore they have to “adapt”. Instead they had to change things around and water down the humor to not upset certain focus groups. That’s not to mention all the bugs and glitches and technical problems this game had on release. Several livestreams showed the game running poorly, so like most bigger budget games, Saints Row was released unfinished. I normally disregard websites like Metacritic and so on, but the low ratings practically speak for the level of disappointment many people have with this one.

Now if only you were nearly as offended by Disney virtue signaling by putting straight white couples in their films. Also Disney is an extremely conservative corporation and has been extremely slow with any kind of queer representation, not to mention their arguably racist tendency of turning POC leads into animals in their films or the abomination that was Pocahontas. Strange World bombed and was barely advertised by Disney so you mentioning it does little to support your point that Disney views representation as an instant moneymaker.

Komrade_Dusty Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I personally quite enjoyed the game. It's basically Saints Row the Third 2. Considering I platinumed Saints Row the Third on three different generations of consoles, it's the kind of game I personally feel holds up well to the test of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelicaK92 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I got the plat for this game last month and to be honest I did not hate it either. This was the only Saints Row that I finished 100%. The only other SR I played was 4 back on the PS3 and that one got boring really quick for me. Different strokes I guess.

Jeanolt Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) There's no point in "hating" this when the prequels weren't exactly the Godfather of videogames; they were fun sandbox games with jokes that probably aren't funny anymore today, but with good gameplay and things that were simply better than GTA. I loved the superhero themes of the last SR and for me, they were really well executed and gave the series more personality compared to other open worlds. The one were you played in hell (don't remember if it was a dlc?), wasn't that good and just vanished in thin air. I'll probably play this someday, but with the amount of products available today is hard to choose something that looks a bit recycled compared to other great games. "The woke debate" is just nosense talked about the same people every week. Well, maybe less because some people in this thread are now banned?

DonaldoNYC Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I bought this game day one. Had "zero" problems with it on the PS5. I liked it so much, a few months later I played it again on PS4, again with no problems at all. It is the best game I have ever played? No. But does it deserve all the hate...? Also, No. There is a lot of fun to be had here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arzoden Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) this game had me hyped but the hype died quickly. gameplay is wonky, the humor is mostly garbage, and it still has quite a few bugs, i finally completed it and now i have to play almost the whole game again to get my Chaos Tamer trophy due to bad level design -.- I've been teleported through buildings a couple of times and i want to mention that gunplay // Action in this game is repetitive AF and gets you bored hella quick if you're used to quality action games. But that's not to say this game does not have a few good things about it, i like the graphics quite a lot! and the story is decent Edited February 28, 2023 by Arzoden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
