Saints Row Reboot thoughts, again.

When the annoucment happend, i said that it's way too early to say if i like it or hate it. From a cg trailer and a minute of gameplay it's really hard to have an opinion, y'know?

But now we saw a little bit more of the game, and i wanted to spout my opinions in the void for other fans to enjoy.

Go under the cut if you wanna see. It's a bit of a long one.

First things first: THANK GOD, shooting is still arcade-y and dynamic. I was so scared that they gonna pull a gta and do me dirty.

I feel like i really enjoyed that gameplay footage. Shooting looks fun, driving looks fun, it's very colorful and stylized. It's a bit too cartoony, maybe, but i dont mind it that much. They didint show much of the activities, but they seem okay. Insurance fraud is back, we now have heist - witch i hope will be more interactive and fun then GTAV's heist, becuse they sucked major ass. I hope they will have some new activities, i hope we get to see return of some oldies - as the only genki fan in exsitance, i hope we get to see some sort of spiritual succesor to that. One that preferablly is not kinda racist.

I do like the aspect of building your crimnal empire from scratch. It seems that the player has at least some influance over how the gang progresses, how they take over the city, how the gang grows. I like stuff like that, it seems fun.

I saw a lot of pepole complaining about the health bars... i dont mind it, and also you can turn it off. It's weird that they appear on ALL CARS THAT YOU SEE, but i think it's just an early build bug, i dont think it's supposed to be like that.

Wingsuit tease at the and feels out of place, but i'll take it.

Now, for the concerns:

I am still salty about the lack of purple. Sure, the characters are purple, we have the classic logo, yada yada. But it still feels a bit eh. The game is so colurful already, why not more color?

Speaking about color, the map seems like straight from 2010, becuse it's dark brown and dust. I do love the western setting, it's unique and new, but when they show our characters riding outside of town it looks like some sort of post-apocalipse game. Again, hope it's not a GTAV situation, when half the map is just boring padding with uninteresting and unnecesary wilderness.

I am still scared of the story. SR3 had such a terrible plot that to me, ruined a lot of the experience with the game. They can't really show the plot off in trailers, i get that. The things they said seem... weird? Everyone memes about the whole student loan thing, and i dont mind it honestly, but like... whats the rest? Is it really just "hey we are in debt, lets make a criminal empire and take over the city?" there has to be more stepts then that. I Want to see the plot focus on the whole aspect of growing as an empire, to see our naive protagonist grow more attuned to the gangster lifestyle. Would be so cool! So unique! But yeah, i just want this game to have a good story, becuse that can really break a game imo.

It feels weird that they havent shown off the character creator. They said in an interview that it's gonna be bigger and better then ever, so i want to be excited, but my deep cynism feels like something is off, so im holding out still. I hope the editor allows us to make fat characters that dont look like cartoon blobs. This is litterally only thing i want, lmao. I dount they would re-implement the SR2's system of cloth layers, but it would be cool if they did. Again, probablly won't happen.

I want to see more in deapth exploration of the activites too. I get that they are saving it as a suprise, but i want to see whats new! I cant get exicted for the game when you dont really say anything, volition.

Closing thoughts: while i am still a bit sceptial about the reboot, i have to admit that i am alot more interested now. It does, in fact, looks like a saints row game, and i love those games.

I am not hyped, but i look foroward to future updates with... hope? Is that too pretentious to say?

I dont really care.

Did you read this the whole way trought? If yeah, consider telling me your own opinions, i am very happy to hear them always.
