  1. I know my local Star wars fan people. They are complete suckers for anything StarWars and will dress up for it at the slightest excuse - not because they enjoy cosplay but because they feel the urge to tell everyone around how huge a fan they are. But they aren't necessarily computer gamers. The new star wars themed trading card game though immediately started eating up they paychecks.

  2. No mod. You can buy a barber set to give to prisoners to increase loyalty. It basically let's you alter their appearance a bit (hair, facial hair).

    The concept is that you have male prisoners and you let them shave, showing them you trust them with a small blade.

  3. 4 hours ago, Keyrock said:

    ^ What game is that? It looks like a metroidvania of some sort.

    I asked Duck Duck Go who Siruby is, and it replied she was the cyborg protagonist of this game:

    Transiruby, available on Steam, Switch, Xbox, Playstation 

    But not GOG?

  4. Saints Row side activities are hit and miss. Mind, I felt that way about side activities in previous games as well, and in other games of this type.

    I appreciate that in this game they tried to flesh them out. They did not do their best at integrating them. There is so much to do, and repeatedly, the main story is basically over, and you are still in the side activity drudgery. I completed my criminal empire, built the Saints Tower and uninstalled. Getting the skyscraper should feel awesome, not "good, I can uninstall now".

    It is unfortunate that the tedium resulting from "too much" side activity can overshadow the effort put in by the writing team to make the activities interesting compared to SR3 for example. Here rampages have a point - you demonstrate the destructive capability of weapons to buyers on the black market. Shady Oaks, the insurance scam, has well written dialogue which elevates is over the exact same activity in previous games.

    A couple of questlines, Eurekabator, Let's Pretend, Laundromat, are all well thought out.

    On the other hand, while I appreciate the Wages of Fear reference of Bright Future, doing that 12 times? Ugh.

    Similarly, grabbing things for Wuzyers Repo again and again is tedious and not that different from Choplifting - they could have cut half the missions from those two and merged them.

    And of course, by the time you get to Let's Pretend or First Strike Dojo, things like Pony Express and Wingsuit Saboteur may have tired you out.

    I 100%ed the base game. But in the end I looked up locations online.

  5. The publisher should hire me as a consultant then.

    By having out-of-game mega-transactions, they can circumvent all the negative reviews over in-game micro-transactions.

     

    And by making it an elvish language course, they can probably get into a literacy program and have 0 expenses.
