Nahualli: Why does your crew call you baby girl?
Boss: Lets stop talking for a while.
I finished Saints Row and you can really tell the people who made it. Wants a Saints row two but also wrapped it up as best they could just encase they didnt. The bitching eveyone did about this game was unwarrent.
I throughly enjoyed it, yes it felt a bit rushed at the end. But hey I cant really knock the game for that. It leaves me wanting more which a lot of games knowadays does.
What i found most interesring is that it wasn't even a big bad. It wasnt the Marashalls that you fight, or Mary who i was 100% thinking was going to fuck the Saints over. Its a guy you let in and that you wanted to share you friends with.
A bunch of misfits, 20+ year olds trying to make life suck a little less. They are family lovers first. And that something Nahuilli wanted and I found that to tell a thousand words about his character. And to feed on the Bosses fear of being inadequate and not good enough. Tells even more- JUST AUGH i could scream about the ending all day.
But also imma write a bunch of poly fic for Saints Row and no one can stop me.
When you play videobgames to ecaspe feeling of being inadequate. Only to have thr Boss have go hurling into the self-deprecating pit and the im not good enough for them. I came here for found family and found!! Not to have a mirror put up on screen!!
God Boss is like me fr fr-
I will say this a lot of games have been forgoing the whole lets establish the characters and world. And lets quickly jump into the action because gamers have the attention span of a Goldfish.
What I mean is, I wish we started the game moving into a crapy apartment. We stayed broke longer because as much as i loved the game. It had major pacing issues.
I think it would have also befitted the Boss. Your character. You wears confidance like a sheild. You worry a lot about if your friends are happy. Because you can sorta just imply the Boss has been through a lot for a good chunk of their life. And maybe fucked up a lot of their relationships in the past. Its the reason why you care so much about having a normal day out. Its why the Nahualli latches onto you, you are the same. But you are desperate to keep your friends and protect them. While also feeding that murdous hunger.
Meaning- Everyone in the group has some type of issues. Kevin body image and committment issues (but not in the gross way), Neenah is confrimed an immgrant and lost her mother moved into a gang because im assuming its had the biggesr clutch of her people in it. Eli has anxiety clear as fucking day and I don't think he would have moved into a run down apartment easily without being in a dire situation.
SPOILERS
If YOU FUCKING TOLD ME THE REASON YOU GET BEYTRAYED IS BECAUSE A GROWN ASS MAN WANTS TO TAKE YOUR PLACE IN YOUR FRIEND GROUP- I WOULD SAY NO FUCKING WAY.
It's so fucking funny and super fucking sad that Nauhilli did not think the group of idiots would accept him if you were around. I really liked him.
I need everyone to understand how personal this scene is to me and how it going to fuel all the fanfic I write for Saints row for the resr of my life.
Nahauilli the most fucked up part is that he bought Kevin that waffle maker he wanted. Which like- that so nice but also just so fucked up. You liked Kev but you couldnt stand him not wearing a shirt.
I picked up on Kev clear "I had body issues growing up so working out and showing off my skin helps me feel better about myself" vibes.
You fucking hit Eli who was the only one trying to play the middle man. God they layered on the abuser vibes here a lot and they didnt need to my hurt was breaking
(Spoilers ish) A bunch of young 20 something adopts a 40 year old knife dad.
I'll never understand the whole this game is either too woke or it gen z bait. When its moments like these that makes it feel like it was made by millennials who enjoyed OG saints row and took the elements that they enjoyed the most from those games and amplified it here.
Waffle cat is not a gen z thing that old as fuck. Kev tattoos are a ref to shit i grew up with. They have a fucking dmx playing that not a genz thing!
If anything it seems like the millennials add stuff in for their gen z sibling to enjoy and less of the other way around.
