Good to hear their expectations are in check.

That's good, I'm happy for Voltion! I hope the game is good, they're a great studio that need a win.
I'm still baffled by this whole "new Saint's Row is woke" thing. I always thought SR2 and beyond were pretty progressive. Crass, maybe, but always had a diverse cast, sex positive, against the status quo, flexible character creation and fashion.
It's like people complaining about the new Predator movie when female protagonists and "final girls" are time-honored traditions of the horror genre. Do these neckbeards even watch/play the media they claim is being stolen from them?
I haven't been following development, what exactly are the usual suspects saying is "woke" about this game?
The main girl in the gang wears a shirt, instead of a bikini top, you see. So, as you can see...woke.
Also, the founding members of the gang (besides the boss) are now an Asian man, a black man, and a latina. So, super-woke actually. So very, very woke.
I'm gonna say that a certain demographic over the age of 30 thinks any girl wearing modern fashion is "woke."
Pour one out for Sleeping Dogs. Travesty that the second game got canned. Even bigger tragedy that Triad Wars was what we (briefly) got instead.
They seen a black female being used for marketing and with ballistic that's pretty much it.
Lol I was getting ready to make my own SE comment (like this would have been 6% of their estimate)
Hell, SR2 had a black male as the default character and the extended cast were an Asian man and a white hippie woman.
Part of me thinks those people didn't actually interact with the series until SR3, when the default boss is a white male. Would line up with SR3 being the breakout title for the series as well.
Which is funny because even in the first Saints Row game only one important Saint was white, and he was an undercover cop.
I'm very confident that it's a no on them playing/watching. They are only here because they see things they can exploit to push their dumbass agenda.
Yeah, anecdotally I checked my ps5 pre-order page the other day and I have like twenty something friends who pre-ordered.... seems like a lot.
Have people in this thread said that the game was good because its hitting 118% of its target preorders?
Huh, this is an interesting observation.
You may be right.
I know for me SR3 is when I bounced from the series. And it was just the over the top, wackiness of it all.
This reboot seems to be a good mix, so we'll see.
One hundred percent this. It's the first game I've purchased this gen physically. Hard to ignore that price difference.
