Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 240: 8/6/22: Cult of the Lamb Edition

I have never played a Saints Row game. :shock: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/51/88/f0/5188f0e30a887e6302f0716c94e1f051.gif As much as I'm jonesing for that kind of game, I'm not there on day one. My price point is more like under $20 or free via PS+. https://gifdb.com/images/thumbnail/zac-efron-no...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 240: 8/6/22: Cult of the Lamb Edition

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3QcEQ2G2AA After watching this new Saints Row video, my hype level just went up for the game. My biggest concern was that I wasn’t going to like the story and characters, but after watching this video I think that I’m going to because it looks comedic and entertaining...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 240: 8/6/22: Cult of the Lamb Edition

I will say they are not really nailing this bullying storyline very well. It feels off. They haven't felt this off since Yakuza 4. And that was understandable because they decided to do way too much with that one for whatever reason. They could have really done great considering the nuance and atte...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 240: 8/6/22: Cult of the Lamb Edition

j, are you going to buy Saints Row on day one? I’m going to and cane might as well, so that will be three of us here buying it on day one. Maybe argyle will too, he often says that he’s not going to buy games on day one but still does anyway. :P I’m not sure about crim and izzy, but it’s unlikely si...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 240: 8/6/22: Cult of the Lamb Edition

I'm tempted too. I mean, the last big urban open-world action game was what, Mafia 3? That was six freakin' years ago. Considering the popularity of the genre, that's nuts. (Oh wait, I guess Watchdogs would count, but meh.) I didn’t realize that you were interested in Saints Row, or at least not en...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 240: 8/6/22: Cult of the Lamb Edition

Well, after actually watching the video, I'm not as bothered by the characters. You seem to be able to do what you want there, which is cool. Yeah, the supporting cast was never that great in the Saints Row games to begin with. They’re basically comedic caricatures, and I don’t expect them to be mu...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 240: 8/6/22: Cult of the Lamb Edition

Yes, you want the $30 bundle, it's the whole shebang and they obviously aren't adding anymore because SF6. As for if it's worth it...well, everyone has a story mode at least? They're short and all. The cinematic story you have to download separately is...awful. **** the ******* **** out of ********...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 240: 8/6/22: Cult of the Lamb Edition

Eh, giving it the name "Saints Row" is just marketing. They want customers, especially those who soured on the series, to see it as something new. Yeah, you’re probably right although it does kind of seem like they’re making it for fans of the second and third games since that’s what it r...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 240: 8/6/22: Cult of the Lamb Edition

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KHvmNRcKYRk This doesn’t look like a reboot at all, it looks like the real Saints Row IV. We all know that the Saints Row IV that we got started out as an expansion, and while fun it felt more like a sci-fi alien battling spinoff than a real sequel in the franchise. Wh...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 240: 8/6/22: Cult of the Lamb Edition

I’m still playing Ion Fury and enjoying it, but I decided to check out Obey Me since I was curious about it. Based on what I played of it, it seems like a decent isometric view hack-and-slash action game. Not great, but worth the $7 that I paid for it. It kind of reminds me of Diablo where you make ...
