There are occasional appearances of trans flags and a few characters who may or may not be LGBTQ, but the majority of the characters appear to be cisgender and heterosexual.
Imagine completely ignoring a canonically trans character to try to dunk on a game. Also softballing that “may or may not” when half of the romance options are homosexual.
I had to pause the game because I was laughing too hard to play when this happened.
Important to note that immediately after that cutscene, you massacre your way through dozens of luchadores while “you’re the best” by Joe Esposito plays.
Though to be fair, saints row was always a game that set the bar of ridiculousness very high, then one upped itself in the next game, and it was gonna be pretty tough after defusing a launched nuke while riding it, then smashing through the white house to land at the desk. Which is fine, by the way, because you’re already the president. And the matrix stuff but we don’t talk about that as much.
Wall Street doesn’t lose money when you buy stocks.
Hedge funds lost a shitload though. Wallstreetbets basically engineered a short squeeze and a few hedge funds genuinely lost a ton of money covering shorts. Granted, a lot of those diamonds handers were left holding the bag, but the effect wasn’t insignificant.
Smart thing to do for any and every AAA game is wait a few months. Launch will almost always be a shit show, then wait for the dust to settle and people say “it’s actually good now.”
I’ll personally be giving it a miss because the need to shake up the meta in a pve game is baffling. If I just spent days farming perfect guns and anoints to do raids on mayhem 10, don’t fucking change how it works so I have to farm a whole new build.
What’s significantly different that necessitated a third game? And is it going to be monitized to hell like 2 eventually became?
