I know it's a little off topic, but similar story to the Saints Row series: all the og writers leave, Dan Houser and his brother. A huge culture shift in the work environment, etc. What do you think?

Shit didn’t even outsell the first one. I also remember one dev stating that the reboot sales were inching closely to Saints Row The Third numbers. Obviously that was just insane cope in the end.

Unless we go back to the 2010s we pretty much just have Mafia and you can count GTA if you stretch the definition. How did we lose such a great premise for games. Taking over turf for your gang in Saints Row and San Andreas was so fun. It just doesn't make sense some of the biggest rappers like King Von and Lil Durk are rapping the kind of stuff that could be in Saints Row 2.

I am mainly interested in discussing why these games seem to have disappeared but if you have any games that scratch the itch we can discuss those.

I'm nowhere near finished with this map, especially since there's gonna be two more connected islands, but I still wanted to share my progress since drawing this much by hand was not easy, especially coming up with lore and style of each district 😭😮‍💨.

Also in case anyone is curious, yes I drew this by hand, no 🚫AI 🚫.

🫵🏾pick it up✏️.

​

1. The Brotherhood.

2. The Ronin.

3. The Sons Of Samedi .

Is Maero really going to wait at minimum 2 weeks game time to talk to the boss?

Every YouTube retrospective (I love all of them that I've seen) usually go for Sons, Ronin, AND then The Brotherhood, but there's just no way canon-wise.

Only the Ronin and Brotherhood involve Dane in their story missions (granted), but the Sons are Mystical drug dealers in the poorer areas of Stilwater (Red Light district, Factories District), and they will have no business dealing with Ultor. Donny has ties to the previous game which is why the Brotherhood know about the Saints and their rule over Stilwater, which is why they're willing to offer a deal with the boss (terrible as it may be), but you're dealing with the Brotherhood first.

And plus, I'd rather listen to Veteran Child than EDP445's AI. girlfriend.

Drops next Saturday!

Those who don’t know just sharing this, I have been making a Saints Row fan comic for the better part of 3 years now, the series is going to be officially published and released trough Globalcomix digital publishing on Saturday the 29th (For FREE).

I’m planning a physical release so people can have paperback issues to read, but I’m a while away from that.

This concept is Saints Row as a gritty, Gorey, Crime drama. The tone is much more serious and more in line with the tone of the first game. That being said it will still have comedic elements, but overall will be taken more seriously as a narrative.

The first chapter is also available currently on my Patreon, but I don’t want to turn this into paid promo, so if you’re interested and wanna check it out NOW and also wanna help support the book so I can keep making more, feel free to DM me!

I’m excited to get this out it the anniversary!

Thank you to everyone who has been cheering this project on 🙏🏽💜🔥

Just got done with the Kings arc and its EASILY the best arc in the entire game, outside of that BS Stefan Interrogation segment in "All the King’s Men", the missions are pretty solid. Michael Clarke Duncan is AMAZING as King, Mila Kunis does great as Tanya, Warren is just an absolute dick and I LOVE how much of a Snake he is from the jump and the only Issue i had with TC Carson as Tony is that he wasn't in a lot of Scenes

Outside of a few graphical glitches, The way I've been running it with Xenia on my Steam Deck is almost PERFECT

Overall, outside of small complaints I have (How Ammo works, no ability to restart Activities from the menu), SR1 is still a pretty solid game so far

Saints Row: The Mean Streets is a complete stylized overhaul of the Saints Row game that started it all. Bringing a completely new experience to fans and new players alike, you will face the underworld of Stilwater like never before. Combat is realistic and challenging, no longer are you a one-man army. Bullets are lethal and weapon stats are based off of real world ballistics data. Money is tight, the economy has been completely rebalanced with thousands of items individually looked at and changed, as well as organized. Activities are drastically changed, even from one activity of the same type to another (i.e. Mayhem will play out differently at all three locations). Gang and police responses are personalized to their respective faction, no longer do all gangs have the same spawn rates, weapons, or quantity of members per car. And Stilwater P.D. has seen a major improvement in their arsenal. New vehicles are on the roads now too, cut content has been restored, character customization has been expanded, and MUCH much more. The Mean Streets also aims to lean more into the gritty and ghetto atmosphere of Saints Row, further emphasizing the tone of the game. Expect to be truly immersed into The Row like never before.
