Lmao oh how the great have fallen. I hope Rockstar sees Saints Row as a warning cause if they put shit like this in GTA VI... Oh boy...

Didn't you egt the memo lol?.

R* have "cleaned up their act" and their "frat behaviour", and the new protag of the upcoming GTA is going back to being a single character and it will be a Latina gal, which could very well mean us seeing yet another "Rey" character (you know, the "I'm strong, don't need to earn my power/respect of others" kind of female protag, like we've been seeing in movies thus far (prey movie also comes to mind recently on that subject). 

I don't think I can really trust the AAA industry to really write good characters that aren't trying to pander to some particular group, let alone an audience in their 30-40's.

SR reboot feels like it's trying to target millennials and anti-capitalists/ Warriors, and EA was mucking around with the Sims with their semi recent update to earn brownie points, I wouldn't put it past R* to listen to the smaller crowd instead of the ppl that have been playing their games for nearly 3 decades now. 

)for the record, I'm not saying EA shouldn't have added that update, I just feel like they are abusing that particular crowd to earn brownie points, just like every corp on the planet when pride month is on and they change their avatars to Pride colours, it just reeks hollowness). 

I know some folks really hate the "go woke, go broke" line, but ppl are really getting fed up of poorly written characters, movies, comics and shit and since gaming is taking a bit of a hit on all sides, we don't really need writing to take an even bigger hit, so a smaller less caring audience (I'm going to be honest, they don't, warriors and the like have hardly cared for what came before, because they already show that they love rewriting history, which also means they cannot respect prior text/media) can bask in some shallow veiled win for a short period of time, and a win that won't even matter in the long-run, because those corps would dump them when another gen of gamers rolls around the corner anyways (just like hoe we're getting dumped from games like SR for example). 

Seeing some devs straight up call previous/current fans "haters" for not agreeing with your lazily written slop is just setting a toxic and ugly example of new-age devs thinking it's cool to run your mouth on social media, and getting rewarded/applauded for it/ This is why PR and marketing exist, because devs aren't well coerced in keeping their mouths shut when someone criticises their baby (even if their baby turned out to be ass ugly and poorly written millennial crap). 

I'm not going to shed a tear for Vio though. They've made two duds in a row, the devs that made the old SR games clearly aren't there anymore, and these new devs love to call fans like me "haters", and then release slop like this, even after the 7 month delay and Epic games cash injection. Nah man, fuck'em, I actually hope Embracer takes the IP away from them or closes them, because I believe they deserve it for talking shit and now they get hit (I've so little tolerance for devs running their mouths on social media, just like the ooblet's devs, no dev should get that angsty, just zip the mouth and work on your game, your code speaks louder than insults on twitter). 

Yea I know about that whole thing but it will be interesting to see to what extent does Rockstar do that. Like if they go full blown woke nonsense like Saints Row has... Hell there may even be riots loll.

And yea, lots of devs and publishers and such hate criticisms. Either you agree or you are a hater. Its very tone deaf and it wouldn't surprise me if we see more studios close because they didn't listen to feedback. Hell what's even worse is a lot of these people will still do mental gymnastics even if their game flops. No it couldn't possibly be all this shitty game design, dialog and woke nonsense. No, it has to be the lack of marketing or haters that caused it to flop. Hollywood with their "female lead reboots" of iconic movies shows the dumb ego of a lot of people.

I think at some point, we will see a breaking point with all this nonsense and personally, it can't come soon enough.
