A SAINTS ROW THREAD

[Tromatagon]

Needs more Die Antwoord

[Neil Koch]

They took off The Blood to put on a hipster channel.

 

[Tromatagon]

The Inauguration Station is out.

[Tromatagon]

Oh man one of the new taunts is Charlie's butt butt dance.

LOD spikes, Boba Fett armor, a skeleton suit to be La Parka, a complete cobra Kai outfit...good stuff

Of all the Pharcyde tracks available they get "Oh, Shit?"

 

For God's sake, man.  Passin' Me By and Runnin' are right fucking there!

 

They got rid of The Blood so no Mastadon tracks on this game.  That kinda blows.

[Andrew POE!]

I didn't really listen to The Blood when I played the game, but I don't get why there's not a synth heavy '80s inspired/'80s synth rock & pop station. That screams Matt Miller to me.

[Cliff Hanger]

This is my own personal agenda speaking, but I think I would go more "80s inspired" than "actual 80s."  There are two reasons for this

 

1) It would cost probably ten percent as much

 

2) Anything that exposes more people to acts like Mesh and Iris is an inherently good thing.

[Tromatagon]

Man I thought you guys would be so stoked about the Inauguration Station and all the new shit they added.

 

[Tromatagon]

Lots of really great reviews out there as the embargo lifted today.

[Bustronaut]

Three things:

1. It's neat watching these dev diaries and seeing landmarks I know from the Champaign area.

2. There's a compliment/taunt in SRIV called "The Silver Bullet".  It's named after the local strip club.

3.  I finally figured out the whole "upload a character so you can download them into the Inauguration Station and tweak them for use in SRIV" thing.  I whiffed on naming her though, could only come up with "Missy".  UGH!

[Tromatagon]

I just play as myself.

Dong slider max

Um...Is The DJ For The X The Christopher Daniels I'm Thinking Of?

[RIPPA]

Um...Is The DJ For The X The Christopher Daniels I'm Thinking Of?

Yup - one and the same.Daniels, Samoa Joe, Sabin and Kazarian (maybe more guys too) did the motion capture for all the wrestling moves in 3 so they are friendly with developers. (I don't know if they did new motion capture for 4)

[Tromatagon]

They might have. One of the guys in the developer diaries is wearing a Samoa Joe shirt in all of them

[Neil Koch]

Played around with the Inaguration Station.  The Nolan North voice is fun, but I will have to go with the Aussie voice for old times' sake.

 

And you can get a fucking Boba Fett outfit.

 

I wish they had released this a bit earlier.  I don't get much time to play games nowadays so I hope I can get through it before GTAV hits.

[Tabe]

Gamespot has put up their review of SRIV:

 

http://www.gamespot.com/saints-row-iv/reviews/saints-row-iv-review-6412932/?tag=Topslot;Slot6

 

 

Bottom line: 7.5/10

[RIPPA]

That's the lowest review I have seen so far - most I have seen are in that 9/9.5 out of 10 range

 

Not that it means anything because everyone could say 2 out of 10 and I will still love the fuck out of it

[Cliff Hanger]

Gonna miss the Natasha Fatale/Baroness "Eastern European femme fatale" voice.

[J.T.]

Yeah, as soon I heard that voice, I made a gangsta girl that looked just like The Baroness, right down to the glasses.

 

It was epic.

[Cliff Hanger]

I did the same.  For IV, I figured Super President Baroness would get chrome skin, but instead I will have to come up with a new awful concept.

[Bustronaut]

"Oh no! The chroming process took a terrible turn, and the only artificial voicebox we have sounds like Nolan North!"

[MGFanJay]

Hardcore Gamer's review is up - 4.5/5 - http://www.hardcoregamer.com/2013/08/14/review-saints-row-iv/

 

I should be getting a copy on Tuesday. Talking about it on the podcast recording last night literally had me buying it on Amazon during it.

[Cliff Hanger]

I had planned to wait til after Dragoncon, but decided pretty much literally at the last minute to go ahead so I could get the $10 preorder credit. Looking forward to it.

[Cristobal]

One more hour until I'm home with this.

[Cliff Hanger]

I am up and rolling on PS3 if anyone wants to do any of the co-op minigames.  

 

Time from inauguration to my first time punching an innocent bystander in the groin, then shooting them on the ground: 25 minutes.  Only Teddy Roosevelt did better.
