Comment on Saints Row Reboot is Awesome

I’m playing it now and it’s fucking embarrassing. That’s not to say it’s not fun. There’s plenty of stuff to enjoy. But holy shit, the personality of the game is just embarrassing. I can’t possibly imagine this is anyone’s idea of cool or funny. It feels like they were trying to sell this to 9 year olds. It’s not just the fact that it’s sanitized (although that’s certainly a complaint), it’s also corny. The first few minutes has the characters enthusiastically planning karaoke and “mug-mosas.” I know the series had been moving in this general direction for a while, but I was really hoping that with the reboot, they’d pull back on the club kid/social media influencer type of personality.

I read everything you wrote there and couldn’t, for a moment, understand what your complaint is. You don’t like that the characters are planning karaoke? Is that it?

I don’t like the characters, full stop. This is a pretty common complaint about the game. But if you found them to be entertaining, then bully for you.

Exactly this. I love the characters. I’m having a blast with them. Thank you for understanding that.

I haven’t played it, I know I don’t like these kinds of games, so I just say, “Oh okay, not for me then.” Same with the other saints row games. Thought I’d find some interesting discourse on what people enjoy but found a rant about karaoke. Was weird.

The comment wasn't a "rant about karaoke" lol
