Re: Saints Row Reboot
This is a bit of hyperbole. Most people who have enjoyed the series less and less and aren't the biggest fans of the direction of the reboot, like myself, are simply not the biggest fans of how wacky and ridiculous the games got.
I'm fine with things like the sex toy baseball bat or the guns that bring about shark attacks or make people dance. Those are fun and you don't have to use them if you don't want to. I'm not as big of a fan of spending a huge chunk of the main storyline in a tron-like universe fighting some wacky hacker faction.
The people who complain about the direction of the game wanted to see it stay true to the first two games. Even the second game was wacky compared to the first, but the first game was clearly a competitor that's theme was similar to San Andreas and none of the factions in the game were over the top.
I've still enjoyed the series for what it has turned into, but had I had control of the series it wouldn't have gone the direction it has. People not liking how wacky the story and factions have gotten aren't hating on the game because it has millennials as characters, or because the game has minority characters, or anything like that, it's because the series has you taking on gun manufacturers, the military on floating air craft controllers, fighting in digital tron worlds, etc.
I just want to have different gangs that are more grounded that are fighting for control of a city. The territory warfare that was in San Andreas that clearly influenced the original Saints Row is the kind of stuff a lot of people like myself loved spending time playing.
This isn't to say all haters are justified or logical. There are still idiots out there saying the game has gone woke because they marketed it with a female character, or because the characters are young, whatever. Those people are idiots and should be ignored. Not all people disappointed with the direction of the series should be lumped in with those people. Many of us would have rather the game kept a theme that was more similar to what the original game had going for it versus what we have gotten the last few releases.

So basically you can call the cops as well as all gangs?
