i started playing Saints Row 4 and 3 again and i forgot how much i loved playing these games. Aaaaand it's pretty obvious what character i am obsessed with. Also my bestie gave me a dumb idea to draw Matt as a sphere XD idk why but it made me giggle like an idiot

I wanted to draw my favorite F/Os for Valentines Day TwT <3 I have others I like, but when I think about my cruses these all come to mind first uwu <33333333 In order we have: Resetti (ACNH); Filbo (Bugsnax); Alex (Stardew Valley); Roadhog (Overwatch); Alicante (Good Pizza, Great Pizza), Sharky (FC5); Larry (PKMN); Johnny Gat (Saints Row); Kuwabara (YYH) I'd say that my oldest crush would be Resetti followed by Kuwabara u//w//u <3

"Get up."

Saints Row 2 is just a fashion simulator where you can also kill people. Slaying people is optional, slaying in the streets of Stilwater is REQUIRED

Originally called “Saints Row Cinco”, Would’ve been a sequel to Saints Row The Third

The Original Saints members were all going to return as major characters

SR4 would’ve been retconned as well as Johnny Gat’s death in SR3, continuing from there, The Boss and crew would leave Steelport to take over Santo Ileso

There would’ve been a secret mission where you confront and kill Dex

Designed to appease old fans and check off all their requests

The tone was going to follow a 20/80 rule, 20% SR3, 80% SR2 style

Pierce’s voice actor even recorded lines for the original version of this game

After THQ Nordic acquired Deep Silver, They outright rejected the story and FORCED Volition to re-write the story

THQ Nordic and Deep Silver put heavy restrictions on what the characters can say including swear words (in an M rated game fyi)

Another version of the story got written that was a full reboot but kept all the original saints, no student loans storyline. This was also rejected by THQ Nordic

Ultor would’ve returned instead of the Marshals

Skill Tree was split into Wealth/Fame/Muscle

Body Shields were going to return but removed due to Deep Silver calling it “too violent.”

Criminal Ventures originally were going to allow you to customize the city itself, with choosing businesses to place into the open world rather than being an activities screen like in the final game

“Proclamation” system allowed you to put laws into your controlled districts, such as forcing a dress code or inacting stand-offs as a way to resolve arguments

Full Cribs and customization to them all returned and got cut

You could customize all cribs and the church that lets you place items anywhere you want

Buying furniture from furniture stores would’ve been a feature

NG+ was cut

Cheats would’ve been an endgame feature unlocked by discovering and unlocking a secret massive genki pyramid and then useable in NG+, Final game shipped without cheats at launch.

The larping mission originally was just one mission where you’d use real guns against them, the dev team was somehow convinced that the game could popularize larping and shipped the terrible larping missions in the final game

All info comes from MrSaintGodzilla21 who was invited to Volition to see all of this in 2020
