Saints Row (2022)

This is such an unnecessary reboot. Don't understand why they couldn't pull the series back a bit and make it about new people without losing the story and characters of the previous games.

Cause nowadays if it ain't woke, break it.

Nobody cares about this C-tier relic of the 360 era.

It definitely looks like a cool series. We have all the games but they've been sitting in the "To Play" pile for ages. I know she started the first one once upon a time but got distracted and never went back to it. They're technically "her" games and thus I'm not "supposed" to play them until she does or she gets pissy. But by this point I'm probably just going to try them out for myself and be like "You literally took 15 years on this, screw it."

You guys should really get on 'em. It was a solid GTA clone with its own unique elements but the series really came into its own with 2 and 3. With the exception of part 1, the thing that has made Saint's Row stand apart from GTA the most was being able to play through the whole game in co-op. They really found their niche there and it's probably the only reason I'll eventually pick up this reboot. You don't really see anyone else doing co-op sandbox games and Rockstar had the opportunity with GTA V and even after Red Dead II it seems like the obvious next step for them. So if you guys have 2 Xbox consoles and can get your hands on another copy of each game, I'd highly suggest you just play them together.

That's an idea! No idea if that'll come to pass but it's certainly an idea.

I think I've heard that Hogan, Piper and Flair have cameos in some of the games and I'm definitely interested in that.

Yeah, Hogan plays one of the new recruits in Saint's Row: The Third and there's an epic They Live reference in Saint's Row IV with Roddy Piper and Keith David. Rob Van Dam voices a character in a Saint's Row IV as well but I'm not too sure about Ric Flair.
