Also, aside from me wishing Rebecca Sanabria is doing VA for this again, the information under that spoiler is an actual spoiler for SR3. I forget how often spoiler tags aren't used for actual spoilers.

Most people who play SR probably don't give a shit about the story (I do...it's complicated for me), but I want to be nice because I hate being spoiled myself.

what we saw Trailer wise was likely most what they had ready for the Dom DLC pack. Also its likely her because that other thing was very unlike Boss as to be a non choice.

>I think the fact that it looks so damn similar to 3 is what worries me. I mean, 1 and 2 looked different, and 2 and 3 looked way different. It's just the graphics, but still.
That's because it was supposed to be a stand alone expansion.

>>170649
It looks like some mad fun.

>>170652
Truth, Boss is all about loyalty to his friends, he wouldn't sacrifice them just to chase down some washed up wrestler he'd already beaten.

Honestly I'm fine with the over the top shit. GTA bores the hell out of me.

>>170656

Fair point, but I want to address this (largely false) dichotomy I see on the internet frequently. There is a middle ground between seriousness and wackiness, and it doesn't have to go too far in either direction.

I'm sure I'll enjoy this game, but I still think SR1 had the best tone in the series. And while it was more serious than its sequels, it *still* had a bunch of goofy shit going on in the background. One of your assassinations in SR1 was a guy in a hotdog suit, and one of the easter egg homies was a guy in a chicken outfit.

It just all seemed better when the game occasionally did something silly instead of wearing it on its sleeve. Anyway, as previously stated, I'm sure it'll at least be a fun game.

>>170662
I mean GTA takes itself too seriously now. I think after San Andreas. Then along came this series and I've loved it. The ridiculousness allows it to be way more creative. Hell in 3 you found yourself tearing through cyberspace, fighting S.H.I.E.L.D., teaming up with Hulk Hogan in the wrestling ring and fighting Zombies.

>>170665
And it made more internal sense as a universe then other sandbox games.

They acknowledge how your character is an inhuman murder machine who can take on impossible odds casually, and still throw plot challenges at you, rather then pretending that you don't casually kill hundreds of swat team members and that those pose a problem by themselves.

It went too far in the "wacky" direction. SR2 was perfect. This just looks tryhard and stupid.

>>170687
SR2 sucked because it forced you to do the side stuff. SR3 didn't make that mistake.

>>170694

I thought the side stuff was the best part of SR2! Better than the missions at any rate.

>>170665

Eh. Different strokes, I guess. IV was more serious, but I dunno if I'd call it *too serious*. The radio, TV, and some of the characters you met were still pretty goofy. I think it was a good tone for a crime game.

Also, as far as what I want from SR4, I want indepth gang customization. Better than what we got in 2. I'm thinking the game could give you about 3 male/female templates and you could dress them up in any clothes you can buy in game. I want to have a biker gang, or maybe even something straight out of The Warriors.

>>170695

The radio was as good as ever but before any mission I had to watch a long, tedious, pathos-laden cutscene. It was awful.

What really turned me off GTAIV, though, was the sex. Not that it was there, but the fact that it was both trying so hard to be shocking and edgy - strip clubs! Sex shops! - while also being so visually sanitized that it came off as grotesquely cartoonish. Although SRIII's handling of sex was definitely cartoonish, it had a sense of audacity and fun that was totally absent from GTAIV.

>>170695
Your friends calling you up to hang out all the time in GTA4 and getting pissed if you turned them down did make them kind of annoying.

>>170700

Oh, that too. The girlfriend mechanic was annoying enough in San Andreas. Why would they think extending it to the entire NPC population would be a good idea?

>>170695
>>170697
I still haven't beaten GTAIV because the controls just feel crap. Especially the driving. Steering got magnitudes harder, and cops, who are drastically harder to lose, now start chasing you for fender benders.

Taking a cab should not be a better option than driving yourself in a game called Grand Theft Auto.

>>170705

On foot controls were ass, but driving cars in GTAIV was godlike. Dem physics, dat satisfaction when you learn to drift.

This game better have Burt Reynolds.

>>170687
SR2 was the living definition of tryhard.

The unrelenting misery of the Brotherhood arc made me actively dislike everyone involved.

And it failed at the serious parts. Even though the fact that Killbane was a seriously weakened opponent for the climax of the game, he still managed to be more threatening than the entire Ultor Corporation, who was less threatening to the Saints than Veteran Child.

>>170742
I think part of that is just the varied level of the Saints in 2 vs Ultor you were a small street gang barely out of the hood facing a massive multinational empire. Though as of Three you are both massive thugs since you now own your Hometown and the conglomerate. To me facing the Syndicate felt more level since I'd already proven myself to be able to go head to head with the big boys and take on a City Directly no pretenses. I think taking on a nation and some Supervillain while were are at it sounds like a nice logical step.

>>170742

Can I just say that as much as I like SR2, the Ronin was the only enemy gang I actually liked?

I would prefer it if the Saints were still a band of gangsters. If you ask me (and no one is because no one cares lol), I would have never made the Saints celebrities. I would have had them take on international crime syndicates (Saints vs a South American drug cartel...why not) and branch out across the world or whatever. Just...anything but aliens at this point.

At the very least, let me like the rival gangs. I mean, yeah, they're my enemies and I'm supposed to like gunning them down, but there's no reason they can't give off a cool vibe as I run them down.

>>170649
Boss, Pierce, Viola, Shaundi, Kinzie. I recognise all of them, but who's the lanky stereep with the emo hair?

Is it the leader of the Deckers? He didn't get killed off and it does looks sort of like him but not quite, If the game is to feature VR he could be useful.
It was hilarious when him and Kinzie were sniping at each other over the comm channels in Third like it was xboxlive.

>>170728
Well if Shaundi and Viola are around we know they didn't kill off Mayor Reynolds.
I hope Oleg is still large and in charge too.

>>170772

> but who's the lanky stereep with the emo hair?

New guy i assume. He doesn't look as bad as Matt.

>>170772
Huzzah. I couldn't let Burt down.

>>170772
I hope Oleg comes back and is dating Kinzie by IV. Their flirting was cute.

>>170745
>I think part of that is just the varied level of the Saints in 2 vs Ultor you were a small street gang barely out of the hood facing a massive multinational empire.
And yet, that massive multinational empire was less threatening than a skeevy DJ with a bad haircut.

>>170823
that part of my thinking street gang vs Empire doesn't feel that personal while Empire directly called out by another Empire feels like its got more to give. Makes me wonder what 4 is going to do.

>AND they're releasing this right before GTAV.

>>170829
Better than releasing it after?
Not to mention, the people who buy won aren't necessarily the same people who buy the other? I mean after not even being able to finish GTA4 I'm not too exited about 5.

>>170924

1. GTAV already looks much better than IV
2. It's ONE MONTH before GTA V

Considering the sales for SR2 didn't come anywhere close to matching GTAIV (and those were months apart in 2008), it seems silly to release the game RIGHT BEFORE your major competitor is releasing theirs. SR is drifting in its own direction, but it still shares a fanbase (namely, the people who like open world crime simulators, such as myself) who are going to have to decide between the two.

I don't disregard those who will double dip, but I don't know if they represent everyone.

>>170926

I also acknowledge the inverse of the double dippers might be true, before anyone points that out. I should have said that the first time around.

Well the graphics look a little behind (as they usually are for SR), but I'm liking how this is shaping up personally. The last one was pretty much a super villain empire emulator and this one seems to take it to its logical conclusion.

>>170928
Yeah the Saints could fit in a comicbook universe, They took on the Syndicate and all of thier superstrong bullet-eating clones, they took on shield and jacked thier laser guns and high-tec VTOL.

I remember in the SRthree talk of big mech suits like a giant ironman being a good next step in high-tech bling, we might be getting that.

People better be posting trailers and videos here as they find them, I need my fix of balls-out over the top action before the game actually comes out.

>>171107

I'm the OP of this thread and also the guy who's been highly critical of SR in this thread.

I want those videos too. I'm really interested in this game. I know I give SR a lot of shit, but I like the series. I've spent over 100 hours on Saints Row 2.

>>171114
You know what OP, you're alright.

Any new word on the game?

Found the storyline blurb

>In Saints Row IV, the head honcho of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States. But the Saints are just getting started. Now the larger-than-life insanity of the Saints series gets a new twist with a catastrophic alien invasion, and the aliens have transported the Saints to a bizarro-Steelport simulation. Wield gargantuan superpowers and fight to free humanity from alien granddaddy Zinyak’s mental grasp. Escape the simulation that’s trapped the Saints crew, or die trying.

>Saints Row IV lets players delve into an arsenal of alien weaponry and technology that will turn each Saint into an ultimate entity of destruction. Utilize out-of-this-world superpowers to fight all the way to the top. With intensified action and enhanced customization, players can use their newfound superpowers and leap over buildings, outrun the fastest sports cars, or send enemies flying with telekinesis in the greatest, most insane installment of Saints Row yet.


Dunno how much this is from the DLC blurbs and if its been updated since then. Would so love to be Rolling around Washington instead of Steelport.

>>172529
Nope, it's confirmed Steelport.

At least they're not cheating us on collectibles this time.

A'MMMMMURRRRRIIIIKKKKKKKKKAAAAAA

>>172992
This is the best pre-order bonus of all time.

>>172992
Fuck the game, I just want the 'Merica.

>>172992
Oh man. MURRICA FUCK YEAH!

I dodn't know preorders were available, got to get on that.

Is Bondage Hookers In Space or whatever it was supposed to be still a part of this game, or was it officially cancelled?

>>173256
watch the trailer in OP

>>170924
I like how you get to apparently redress your weapon in this game to look like whatever you want.

I wonder if the 4th game will have the same Boss voices to choose from as the 3rd.

You could make a female black russian Boss-President of the United States of America.

I basically just want Rico Rodriguez as a homie, along with JC2 level destruction/maps, and then all my sandbox dreams will be realized

>>174042
Just Cause 2 style maps and breaking things along with superpowers would be freaking great.
I'd love a sandbox game where you got to create superheroes with whatever powers you wanted and got to wander around such an environment, stopping crime and fighting super villains, stuff like that. (especially if it let you set up superteams and create the villains too)

>>174041
... that is exactly the character I'm playing now. Sans the president thing.

>>174042
>JC2 level destruction
How about Red Faction Guerilla levels of destruction? Dream big, man!

>>174048
Since I hated that game I hadn't really thought about it, but I guess it got that much right.

>>174048
Take it a step further
I want to rip industrial smokestacks out and hit home runs with tanks!
I want to rip bricks out of walls like they're made of dough and use them to snipe snipers in the next county.
I want to piledrive a godamn aircraft carrier and then fuck the moon!

Guys guys

"Yea, only Bigger."

"Cool."

I know that is how that whole thing went down, least the first part.

>>175499

Considering how stupid this game's story has gotten, there's no reason they couldn't have brought him back with time traveling and voodoo or some shit.

Volition's at e3, so hopefully we see something besides the dubstep gun.

>>175533
I think its going to be he played Julius in a movie or something.

I'm surprised no one is commenting on this trailer.

>>176708
But what if you are also murder crazy like the Boss? Does that cancel it out?

I hope there is a cockney voice again, I don't think i've made a character that hasn't used that yet. If not i hope we get a male russian voice.

>>176708
>>Implying you don't want to knock space-boots with "Princess Kwilanna"

Oleg.

Oleg is always the best option.

Speaking seriously now I honestly can't see my President Boss hooking up with any of his Saint lieutenants, its just not the relationship he has with his crew.

If we were talking a bit of casual fun though I wouldn't mind a foursome with the Genki Girls.

Saints row IV is banned in Australia.
Man I'm glad I don't live in that shithole deathland, no offence Aus-bros. Living somewhere where every creature is poisonous and sustained by its hatred of all that is good in life on one side, and a bunch of puritan soccer-mom fuckheads in charge of censoring and banning everything on the other.

They are having to get a gimped "Down-under" version, just like is often the case with Germany and their turn the blood green/make everyone robots edits. (On a side note State of Decay also got the same reaction, being refused classification)

Is this overcompensation for being a nation borne from convicts?

>>176927
>gimped "Down-under" version
were you specificly looking foward to the "press X to rape passerby with alien dildo" feature?

>>176929
Umm, fucking duh?

>>176929
You notice they also get their panties in a bunch over 'drug use'. Really are you defending such pointless censorship? Are you actually Australian and you are taking offence to someone besmirching your nation's honour and thus getting overly defensive?

>>176963

Yikes. If anyone here is being defensive, it's you. I think he's asking whether or not the censored version is really going to be legitimately gimping the experience.

Like I heard they took the hooker sex or whatever out of GTAIII. Sucks, but it's hardly a big deal.

>>177016
In Saints Row 2, that would make part of the game unintelligible.

>>177016
Supporting nonsensical censorship of 'adult' games for people of legal age is stupid and should not be accepted.

Forcing the developers to alter the game just because they contain Morphine as a healing item for instance? Its stupid.

>>177027

Uh, okay. There's a difference between supporting something and not thinking it's a big deal.

So we know the Boss is getting superpowers but what about your homies? I mean being able to call them to back you up is a feature of the series I doubt they are going to drop now but it would really help if they were able to keep up with you when you are are running around like the Flash and gliding all about the place.

>>177027

Uh, okay. There's a difference between supporting something and not thinking it's a big deal.

>>177063
they've confirmed your Veep will get Powers if you so choose so I guess that will apply for the rest of your crew.

>>177061
I wouldn't mind having a Kinzie infestation.

So hey, the achievements list has been leaked... anyone interested in seeing what they are.

I've already been a dick somewhere else so it should matter if I bring it up here. But I can't talk about this game until it comes out. Dem's the rules.

So a QA tester for the game had a little Q&A session on 4chan. Spoilers I guess.

>>177183
Breaking your NDA is extremely risky.

How anonymous is 4chan really?

Before I enlarge, how big of spoilers? Also, did the guy give good proof as being real?

I clicked the image and the spoiler in the OP is one I predicted like two years ago. Does it get any worse?

>>177185
No more anonymous than any other site you simply visit.

As far as the beta tester being screwed, that would be harder. The dev has no legal basis to compel moot to give up the user's IP address (which is all they have), though they might get the content removed under some sort of copyright infringement maybe if they're lucky? Legally binding NDAs don't extend to uninvolved third parties.

And even if moot did give up the IP address, the company would still have to match it with the tester (which could be really easy to really hard, depending on a lot of things.)

I think I like her too much with Oleg to fuck her myself.

I don't know what it says about me, but in games, I want to see everyone else end up with everyone else. I don't know if I could pick anyone for myself.

>>177330
Speaking of Oleg I wonder how much he'll be in the game, we know he shows up at the Whitehouse near the start but we haven't heard much about him compared to other homies we know about.

Him (and Birk also at the whitehouse) have shown up though, unlike Zimos, Angel and Viola who I believe have had no mention yet.
I could easily see Angel and Zimos not being in 4, but Viola maybe being more likely to be a supporting character then them.

>>177331
If Angel did come back, I'd hope they replace Hogan with a more competent voice actor.

>>177332
Seeing as the "Saving Shaundi" ending is confirmed to be canon (As if The Boss was going to let two of their homies and Burt FUCKING Reynolds die...) They could easily explain it as Angel having taken down Killbane as he tried to flee on his own to get his final revenge but died from injuries sustained during his one-man army attack, Seems like a neat way to round it off and explain why they don't make a reappearance.

>>177330
Well if not Kinzie there is always Gat according to those achievements.

>>177335
I dunno if he's my type. I like the big beefy dudes and nerdy girls, and in this case, they're together.

>>177333
The canon existence of Image as Designed, and its apparent ability to fully recreate Cyrus Temple, makes me think they could easily just get away with saying "He wanted to sound like Mick Foley now, instead"

Aww my SR3 guy's jacket isnt in the game anymore, its sort of a good thing anyway since it forces me to change my look which I really wanted to do anyway. I guess I'll give him a presidential suit since I assune this is how he'll look in that starting cutscene as the president.

I have great fun making characters, hell I made a second which I'm going to use in my second playthrough, I just wish you could do more with the people you make... like maybe if you could use this character editor to create 'unique saints' and add them to your gang, so there's a chance they might show up in the place of a regular saints grunt at random.

So if we get to Five I see this doing Mass Effect stuff better than Mass Effect did.

>>178925
From what I hear this is the last game in the saga.

Like the next game would be unrelated to the previous four, or at least not a direct sequel.

Wait, did- did they cut the Hispanic Female player voice? Rebecca Sanabria?

Damn it, I was ready to get this game. To me her voice acting- and getting to play a brutal middle-aged latina thug- was always the best thing about the entire Saint's Row experience.

>>178948
That's what they said about Mortal Kombat Armageddon.

>>178948
A Science Fiction Mass Effect type universe shaped by The Saints. I'd play it. Surface its all proper Star Trek like Decorum but then we travel into the inner Saintum off the elite officers of their Saints those that handle things the way the Saints have for centuries. Love that Saints Ops already been setup as a thing just in the intro of SR4.

>>179026
Taking up the role of a new Saints Officer from the planet Saints Row going through the Saints Academy to join the Saints Starforce?

You know the Saints Academy parties are wild when the official curriculum includes courses on how to take alien drugs in order to get the best high and how to bone all the known alien races (of all possible varying sexes) that make up the interstellar community.

In relation the combat training would involve dedicated drilling towards learning the positions of the genitals of different species and how best to strike them for maximum impact and humiliation

>>179038
Oh man, a game where Xenobiology is a major aspect of space exploration.

"Where are this thing's nuts?"
"We... we don't know."
"THEN HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FIGHT IT."

>Those framerate woes for console
Maaaan, maybe I shouldn't bother.

>>179064
>Saints Row on Console
I hate the meme and all, but seriously; top lel

>>179069
I know it's inferior by default by dropping mods, but some of us just don't have gaming rigs.

But yeah no that framerate, fuck that.

Trying not to watch more videos, is it worse than it was in 3?

>>179071
How so?

>>179080
Why am I not watching more videos for SR4?
I feel I've spoiled myself more than enough, I am going cold turkey on the game until I actually have it

>>179087
I just misunderstood what you meant.

Its pretty crazy. Basically details of half the game has been leaked.

Man, it sucks that there's still 3 days to go until this game is out, in not america

So is anyone playing this?

>>179398
I would be... if it was out here yet.

>>179398
It is eating my life.

I love hearing Keith David in games.

It sort of boggles my mind that Dr. Facilier has never been in a Kingdom Hearts game yet. It's like they wrote the movie with KH in mind, and SE just didn't get the memo.

>THE BEST END CREDITS EVER MADE
>THE NARRATOR REVEAL

This game is the best.

For some reason I seem unable to dismiss followers in my game, Holding down does nothing.

British XboX360 version if that makes a diff.

If I had any complaints about the game it's that they neutered customization EVEN HARDER then 3.

Fucks sake even the banada, former icon of the games is gone and 90% of the clothes I used are now parts of non-customizable "outfits" which while it doesn't really affect the game that much pisses me off enormously considering how much of it is reused assets.

FUCK SAKE DID YOU REALLY NEED TO MAKE THE SUPERHERO OUTFIT ONE PIECE? Fuck.

If I see half of this shit come out as DLC I'm gonna be PISSED, meanwhile I wait for a mod to fix it before I do another run of the game.

Where the fuck is my Saints of Rage full game?

I just found all of Kinzie's audio logs. and now I am sad :(

>>179500
Oh that fucking broke my heart.

Are the homies any use in this one? I mean I've never really been one for calling thm up but I tried it after I got roball, but it didn't really seem worth it since Kinzie and Keith couldn't seem to keep up at all, kept getting stuck or something way back.

Does it get any better when they have powers of their own?

>>179502
Yeah, they beast pretty hard once they have their powers, Kinzie's AI in particular is on crack once Super, everything she does is a map clear.

Shrek's Row : The Fourth

>>179517
I think that gave my cancer aids

>>179519

So if your cancer has AIDS and AIDS kills, that means AIDS killed your cancer and you're now cured.

Is there anything Shrek can't do?

>>179520

Cure the AIDS I have now.

>>179486
Hah I just got to that part, it was pretty fantastic and caught me by surprise

>>179539
I REALLY NO JOKE WANT IT

Man I am LOVING the mission where All the Saints are fighting together to escape the Ambush that got sprung on us when we were planning on hitting the Zin with King's plan. times like this in a game where all your people are involved in levels actually makes you FEEL like there's a reason you assembled them, Hell I mean even FUN SHAUNDI was there! also we looked pretty awesome all in our purple hero outfits.

Alos of note EVERY FUCKING THING to do with Gat, especially his loyalty mission when "the boys are back in town" started playing

Dammit by game just jammed in the middle of a mission. I'n starting to hate my xbox, is there any tip for having it run cooler? Like I've got it lifted off the floor on a platform of boxes and stuff I had and there's space around it instead of having it in my cabinet with all the other stuff, any other help?

>>179501
Well its not SO bad once you reach the end at least since they can just use time travel to abduct all their friends like Zinyak used to do.

>>179552
OH MAN, I think fucking favorite was the roulette wheel on the round table

>>179558
THE GREATEST

>>179558
oh for a Doctor Who Saints spoof.

"Time for you to play with Mr.Tentacle you jibbing Tin Man"

"That doesn't go there."

"Today it does."

>>179561
No, save it for Saints Row 5, Saints vs The incarnations of the Master, each incarnation of the Doctor becomes a homie.

I don't know about any of you but I screamed "NOBODY FUCKS UP BIZ MARKIE!" as I killed Zinyak.

Biz Markie - Just A Friend (Official Video)

Dance party in the credits was SO GOOD! Jesus christ you think Shaundi would be sexy but Kinzie's dancing gives ALL THE BONERS! And then of course at the end big man shows up to bust out 'the worm'.

Completing all the challenges in the quest menu seems alot more painful in this game than it did in three

>>179590
Yeah, as someone whose done it, it's infinite frustration, but can be a lot of fun...except those fucking insurance fraud missions.

>>179586
So flawless.

>>179596
Getting all golds on minigames can be tricky and a struggle, but certain ones like get a billion kilometres travelled in alien vehicles in a game where vehicles are something you barely use is ludicrous

>"Leveling up is the best experience in gaming."

I have to take issue with this. Leveling up provides the illusion of accomplishing something, and games can also provide the chance to ACTUALLY accomplish something.

Look at the Souls series, or Day Z- ask someone about their experience in one of those games, and they'll be able to vividly recall some amazing sequence of events that happened to them. Their avatar was virtual, but their courage and fear, the mistakes and moments of inspiration, those were REAL. They'll remember that moment for decades because it actually meant something. Leveling up is just an artificial substitute for that.

To be clear: I'm glad he's enjoying the game, more power to him, just hate to see someone undersell the medium's potential like that.

>>179638
>Leveling up is the best experience in gaming

what is this plebeian tier world of warcraft fatass heart-stopping donkey shit of a failed thought

Yeah that why I totally didn't hack my way past the grind in almost every jrpg I've ever played.

>>179656
You seem upset.

>>176705

>>179638
>>179656
Explain Cookie Click then.

>>179668
...Cookie Click?

>>179623
I am so happy to see CID getting love.

What powers does Zinyak have naturally, TK and being FUCK HUEG?

The teleporting seems to be tech or a device.

>>179677
Yup, just the two, he is to his race what President Boss Saint Playa is to the human race.

A over the top completely insane nearly cartoon version of a Zin who is non-stop seizing power.

Come my darling, its time to wacky smacky.

>>179696
I took that and started destroying the world to this.

The Protomen - Act II: The Good Doctor

I can't be bothered getting gold in all the challanges just yet so I'm going to start my second save where I do everything different and shiz.

I think I'll go with the southern female voice this time since the latin and russian aren't in it.

Does CID actually do anything when called up as a homie apart from float around and have conversations with other homies?

Getting gold on some of the challanges seems like such a pain in this game.
Plus I still need to get a bunch more DeathFromAbove kills which are hard to get since its so hard to actually kill aliens with it.

Apart from these completionist niggles it was a gret game, I loved the story and the superpowered gameplay.
I'm looking forward to the DLC expansions.

-Enter The Dominatrix- DLC is out. Its free if you bought the season pass.

Personally found it fun, also hilarious. Oh if only we had gotten that ending instead of lame old time travel adventures with Jane Austin... what a shame...

>>181899
That was easily the best DLC Saints Row has ever done.

While I appreciate giving Zinyak a larger role, Enter the Dominatrix sounds way better then what we got.

>>181902
Uh, no it doesn't? The dominatrix was an awful villain and it brought nothing of worth to the table by itself. It was an amusing dlc.

Did you mistake my Joke spoiler as sincerity? The ending was hilarious but it was clearly a total joke, it wasn't mean to be taken seriously even in the terms of an SR game.

Santa has been kidnapped by aliens,

Are you a bad enough dude to save Christmas?

>>183605
And the number one question, will Mrs.Claus be a homie and will she let me fill her stocking with care.

>>183611
Do you really think your South Pole is up to the task?

>>183624
Gifts aren't the only packages coming out of my workshop.

I loved when the classic Christmas songs stated playing in the DLC. It just felt so good.

>>183781
>Matt's Face

Daww give that man some hugs.

Finally getting around to finishing up #3
I've been at 50% for a year trying to make outfits (yay flying around the entire godamn city) and upgrade my and stats weapons to not be shit so I don't drop instantly when 4 stars are hit.

>>183799
I'm honestly surprised at how much he's grown on me considering I wanted to kill him on the spot in 3. I guess it does helps that he was one of the more interesting characters introduced in 3, which gave them a lot of ground to work on.

>>183826
Boss and him bonding over Nyte Blade is so dawwww

>>183826
Ditching most of the obnoxious goff makeup and smirking so he looks like a more mellow Jared Leto clone helps a little, yeah. Just hope they don't milk the hurr creepy Nyteblade obsessive jokes to death and make it his only trait from now on.

>>183836
>"I can't believe I'm saying this...You don't have to die a virgin."

Some parts of the game made me laugh hard, but that line always makes me grin.

>>183876
He still has his personal rivalries with Kinzie and now his working friendship with Asha.

Oh damn. Can't unthink.

>>184019
Fucking terrific.

>>184019
Don't they both have a lot of dubstep in their themes too? Man, I thought Iwasaki doing it was bad enough, but now Sawano seems to be getting in on the act too.

>>184063
Clearly you are just too old, yelling at kids about their nonsensical noise-music that they are playing too loud.

You've fallen behind on your broken hip, YOU AREN'T HIP ANYMORE!

>>184063
>hating on Holy Wubstorm
>hating on Avalon
>hating on anything from Gatchaman Crowds
I shiggy diggy.

>>184104
I was never hip and I have no intention of starting now.
