I like they way it looks, its got a charm to that style

>SR3 and 4

>better looking than 2

>SR4 looks beautiful

are you graphcs whores blind as well as niggers? 4 is the exact same shit as 3, so how can it look better if its the exact same shit?

>>16550961

I pirated AoM and deleted it later that same day. Was not shocked to later hear it sold like shit.

>>16551020

>4 is the exact same shit as 3

Not if you play the Next Gen version. The added shaders and bloom effects make it look gorgeous.

Of course, it's for the Xbone/PS4 console release, so I respect you completely if you weren't even aware of it.

The next game should be a Saints Row: Vice Kings prequel. Accomplishes wiping the slate clean of all the shit SR3 did without actually rebooting it.

>>16551001

Agree. While the gameplay is fantastic, SR2 looks like a late PS2 game a lot of the time and girls always come out ugly.

Wasn't Agents of Mayhem a broken mess? Either way the series is in need of a desperate reboot, especially what they did after 2. It'd be laughable if it wasn't so disgusting.

poor graphics whore

>Wasn't Agents of Mayhem a broken mess?

It was jank on release, and the confusing way it was marketed combined with the incoherent delivery of the simple storyline only made things worse. It needed more development time but Violition was having financial troubles or something. Sad.

>>16551043

Saints Row has gotten so silly that you could literally have all the characters travel back in time to just after the second game and nobody would bat an eye. Shit, you could just make a sequel to 3 where half the people who were supposed to be dead and inexplicably alive and nobody would care.

By making the series so retarded, they actually created a pretty clever way to write themselves out of any corner.

SR3 was one of my biggest personal gaming disappointments of all time. Admittedly I didn't know much about it before release as I wouldn't check out any trailers or anything, but I just assumed it'd be a logical evolution of SR2. Boy that was a kick in the balls.

>>16551032

Also, this probably doesn't count for much, but the guns in SR4 looked much better than they did in SR3. 4 had real guns that you could even customize the appearance of, whereas everything in SR3 looked like pipe guns built from pieces of broken septic tank.

Reminder that classic Shaundi is best Shaundi, not bitch Shaundi.

can mods even manage to fix sr2's port or do I need to play it on xbox?

>>16551156

Would there be a reboot like it was suggested with the Hell game endings?

>>16551121

Classic Shaundi is a meth head, dirty fucking crack whore. Enjoy your waifu, you nasty fucker.

>>16551156

I suspect Volition doesn't have any more ideas for saints row, and IF they're even making the game they're only doing so because Agents of shit bombed that hard. So the fact that this new game is just a weird amalgamation of 1 and 2 wouldn't surprise me.

>>16551181

It has to be, there's simply nowhere else for them to really go with the fucking earth blown up.

>>16551156

I hope the character customization is back to the good old SR2 standard or better like APB.

>>16551200

I hope it's kinda still non politically correct, lewd outfits, breast slider, all of that other shit. I might enjoy it like SR2 and I think because people compare that to San Andreas and the "old times" sadly I never tried it in the first place.

>>16551198

>nowhere else for them to go with the earth blown up

They have a time machine. They can undo whatever they like. Then to add a new villain/adversary just add some C&C Red Alert style "we fucked up the timeline and now (insert whoever) is a threat.". That said, I don't really want this. They changed the Boss too much after 2.

>>16551156

>The Saints are now a righteous vigilante gang

Makes sense, it was clearly where the series was headed anyway. It was Julius' original intent, and with Gat Outta Hell teasing that alternate universe where everybody was a cop, and with Saints Row 4 and AoM making them literal superheroes, it seems like a fitting choice.

>Realistic, gritty tone

Please, god, no. Nobody wants a dour, depressing SR game. The fact that they're fighting a big corporation and the game is set in a impoverished, dying rustbelt city makes me fear the game would be filled with gray and brown gloom and take itself way too seriously. I know people want a more grounded game after all the wackiness but that would take it way too far in the other direction.

>>16551198

>There's simply nowhere else for them to really go with the fucking earth blown up.

You're severely underestimating the brazen, unapologetic retardation of the franchise. Agents of Mayhem had nothing to do with anything but still had major Saints Row characters, just with altered backstories. Johnny Gat, for example, was no longer a widower and instead a triple-divorcee. Why? Because fuck it.

They could literally just make a sequel to any of the first three SR games with no explanation, or make something entirely new. Have everyone acknowledge the earth blowing up and then laughing it off. That's how goofy the series has gotten.

Is it that hard to recapture that magic of SR2 but also making it look good for waifus and give it a good port?

Oh right, there's always that option. Guess the only reason they haven't tried that yet is because of AoM.

>gritty tone

It's more likely that the game's gonna be less 'grit' and more 'turn Dane Vogal into a Trump stand in'.

>>16551573

>Is it that hard to recapture that magic of SR2

Hard insofar as there was no gimmicks, or wacky setups, or cheap nostalgia points to cash in. Saints Row 2 worked because it had great writing, and an absolute shit ton of content. You can't cheat that, and you can't just make the boss the president, or a pirate or some other stupid gimmick to make up for that.

>>16551680

>'turn Dane Vogal into a Trump stand in'.

Shit, and he was already a lot like Trump to start with.

>>16551869

I actually thought the writing in Saints Row 4 was pretty good, or at the very least they handled characterization well. The old characters actually felt like themselves again, and the new characters actually had personalities.

The problem with 4 was, despite its good writing, it was also an overly wacky mess. They also couldn't bring back Fuzz due to "coding problems" which was a gut punch.

>>16551194

Shut your whore mouth, fucker. Shaundi never did anything harder than American-grown marijuana… and Loa Dust, but Loa Dust is just pot mixed with paint thinner anyway.

Its been a long time since I played the game but doesnt the difficulty of the game only come from that the missions spawn you already surrounded by enemies?

>>16550961

>Agents of Mayhem

Imagine an open world you will only use to go from one mission to another, one dungeon repeated ad nauseam for the entire story, and nothing but boring 3rd person bullet sponge cannon fodder as enemies. Such a slog.

>>16551156

Can't we at least bang Lin in this one?

>>16551198

>nowhere else for them to go with the earth blown up

One of the Gat out of Hell endings also shown them invading a hostile alien planet.

Sounds like a retarded way of dissolving the THC crystals off the weed, even though there are much easier and cleaner methods of doing so.

Even if they are going to re-make SR, I hope they at least return the unique animations for pedestrians, like the Barbershop Quartets that you see sometimes in SR2

Oleg is best boy

Man 2 was so fun with a friend.

We both made the same guy: fat Australian with handlebar mustache and pink and black afro.

The only mission I remember being "hard" is one where you spawn in a plane on a busy road and get fucked up if a car hits you.
