But can we play hooky from school? That would be totally wild and wacky.

It's not quite directly pertinent, but I always thought there was an obvious story that would make for a great sequel to "Bully."
Basically, he marries the preppie girl, they get divorced, and she ends up with custody of their daughter, whom she sends to Bulworth Academy. Their daughter ends up being the same obnoxious trouble-maker he was, and he gets a job at the school to keep an eye on her while being horrified at her behaviour (and struggling with how he did the same at that age.)
But nowadays, I suspect if they did a sequel, it would be about righting all the wrongs committed in the first game. :p

The Saints Row reboot will be a wait for more inform and gameplay before I decide if it's worth getting. I know I will miss the characters from the previous Row games.

Call me prejudiced, but the frequency of their glucose and lactose intolerance problems, really hinders the suspension of my disbelief. You can beat them with a glass of milk and a doughnut.

To be frank I dont know any hipsters or gangsters by name, neither I am interested in any of these two groups to know any famous representatives of them. Well, aside from a couple of very famous, like Al Capone or Lucky Luciano.

There's a few gangbangers who were nerds (still intimidating) but they weren't hipsters. A hipster can attempt to become a gangster but the lifestyle isn't one that you easily adopt or seek because you think it's trendy or want to pay off your student loans.

Lets skip the fact that personal anecdotes are poor basis for making such general claims. Are you saying that this 'unrealistic' idea of hipsters becoming gansters will damage the image of Saints Row franchise, known for its hyperrealistic depiction of gangs?

Nice deflection and goalpost shift. You couldn't provide an irl example of millennial hipsters forming a criminal gang despite google search being a thing. It's obvious you didn't play the OG Saints Row which this reboot is supposed to be based on because the OG's gang designs were grounded, and they weren't equipped with futuristic tech like in SR3 - 4. www.polygon.com/22641295/saints-row-reboot-release-dates-ps4-ps5-xbox-one-xbox-series-x-pc-gamescom-trailerThe Big Bang Theory crew forming a criminal empire is just as goofy as Saints Row 3's and 4's premises.

Nice deflection and goalpost shift. Its not a goalpost shift. I asked a question, you answered, I said it was a bad answer and clarified why.I dont really see a need to continue that topic really. So I then asked you another question. Its obvious you didnt read the article you provided, because it clearly states that its not going to be perfect recreation of SR1, its not going to be 'gimdark Saints Row' and they are considering legacy of all SR games when deciding on its tone and themes.

I wonder how many people will create their character to look like one of the characters from Saints Row 1-4? I would guess Shandi and Gat might be the most popular?

I read the article understood it well, and it's still obvious you didn't play Saints Row... Emulating SR3 and Fortnite isn't going back to Saints Row's roots, and the grimdark comment is non-sensical because SR4 wasn't grimdark, it was Jack Ass the film in videogame form. The closest the series came to grimdark was the first 2 games yet Boone claims they're going back to the series' roots despite the reboot's already fanciful premise, and design.

I think the moment the devs said that they said that some content in the older games were "problematic" is a sign that is likely going to be an "In name only" game.

I still do. I dont see any fundamental barrier for hipster to become a gangster. A gang after all is an organised group of people created with a purpose to engage in criminal activity. Are you saying hipsters cant create organisations? O are they incapable to commit crimes. I read the article understood it well, and it's still obvious you didn't play Saints Row... Emulating SR3 and Fortnite isn't going back to Saints Row's roots, and the grimdark comment is non-sensical because SR4 wasn't grimdark, it was Jack Ass the film in videogame form. The closest the series came to grimdark was the first 2 games yet Boone claims they're going back to the series' roots despite the reboot's already fanciful premise, and design. You didnt understand the article because the grimdark comment wasnt about SR4. And the roots comment doesnt mean they are going to recreate SR1, it means they are going from alien invasions to gang wars.

I still do. I dont see any fundamental barrier for hipster to become a gangster. A gang after all is an organised group of people created with a purpose to engage in criminal activity. Are you saying hipsters cant create organisations? O are they incapable to commit crimes. Hipsters can create a hookah rental service for all i care but they are highly unlikely to create a criminal gang that engages in extortion and murder and trafficking due to a multitude of socioeconomic factors. There is no basis in reality for such a scenario. Plus jay walking, littering, and loitering are considered felonies but that doesn't mean the people who commit them are all capable of becoming sociopathic gangbangers. Nu Saint's Row being more grounded than SR4 doesn't mean much when it's premise already breaks the suspension of disbelief. We are far more likely to discover alien lifeforms than see Sheldon, Urkel and problem glasses form a crime organization that rivals mexican cartels. Saints Row 3 also involved gang warfare with outrageous antics, and was considered by critics (guilty) as a major departure from it's predecessors due to the game's tonal shift, and lack of content. Replicating SR3 while ignoring SR4 isn't a return to the franchise's roots. About the grimdark statement, SR1 and SR2 arguably have dark narratives with some humor to break the tension, yet the franchise is returning to it's roots. The statements in the article doesn't sound like the franchise is returning to it's roots.
