#can we get some more depth to sr2 shaundi please

[kikidewynter]

i think it would be cool if there was a reason shaundi was always high. if it helped her mellow out and cope and people found her more agreeable that way and she liked it when everybody liked her. but eventually it got harder and harder to stay high and it just stopped helping and she went straight. and that’s why in srtt she’s so radically different. she still doesn’t know how to cope and now everybody’s looking at her like she’s crazy

Saints Row 5 Wishlist !

so, saints row 5 is expected to be officially confirmed in early 2020, so i figured i’d make one of these. you know, bc i’m trash. @volition

1.) bring back stilwater; and for the love of god, update it a little so it’s not the exact same map as 1 and 2.

2.) more interaction with npc’s; you can greet other saints, antagonize rival gang members, greet or antagonize pedestrians. 

3.) give us special events where you can run into homies (johnny, shaundi) on the street. even if it’s just a small interaction, or the beginning of a side mission, i don’t care.

4.) give us the option to attempt to recruit rival gang members to our side. i think that’d be hella interesting; if we fail for some reason, we have to fight them.

5.) GIVE US MORE TROY BRADSHAW CONTENT PLEASE GOD

6.) and not the ugly-looking troy we got in sr2, we need snack!troy back please.

7.) a better police notoriety system. maybe they’ll chase you and give you a ticket for hitting another car and running? if you rob a store or hit a pedestrian, they chase you with the intentions of arresting you, but don’t just start shooting to kill until you pull the first move.

8.) BRING BACK CARLOS MENDOZA.

9.) i also want a more in depth romance system. even if it’s just a parody of more serious games with more serious romance systems, i still want it. 

10.) whoever you romance gives you a special nickname.

11.) give the game more replay value by setting the character on a certain romance track depending on the choices they make. this isn’t a must in my book, but it could be fun.

12.) get rid of the super powers and aliens. they were fun in 4, sure, but it’s time to take the boss back to their gang roots.

13.) LAURA BAILEY !

14.) tobias and laura, even if it’s just for activities.

15.) bring back freckle bitches, cowards.

16.) bring back diversions such as muggings, store hold ups, ho-ing, etc.

17.) and bring back cutscenes for the start of activities. it gives more incentive to finish them, i think.

18.) a version of shaundi that’s still a little uptight, but way more laid back than she has been.

19.) bring dex back as one of, if not the, main antagonist(s). maybe you can try to redeem him instead of killing him? maybe he can be a romanceable character who the protag hates but also loves?

20.) every major homie should have a home or base where they can be seen acting idly; drinking, eating, shooing the protagonist out of their bathroom so they can use it, sleeping, etc.

21.) let us buy cribs again; and if we can buy them, we should be able to customize them again.

22.) this one is just wishful thinking but; maybe a first person mode?

23.) keep the cartoonish graphics, it fits the game more than realistic graphics would tbh.

24.) our choices in the game should carve what ending we end up getting, at least a little bit.

25.) kinzie and matt trying to get used to the gang life; they can’t just hack their ways into other gangs hideouts this time. 

26.) donnie joins the saints, finally, but only after doing a few missions to earn his trust. after unlocking him, we should be able to take our vehicles to his shop and get a discount on customization.

27.) the protagonist has a few missions dealing with their daddy issues and such.

28.) bring back the loyalty missions from 4, where the protagonist has the option to do them or not. maybe the loyalty missions are just homies inviting the boss out for a drink, or maybe they go to fight a few gang rivals, whatever.

29.) pierce or johnny keeps calling the protagonist and asking them if they want to go bowling. the player can choose to answer it, but the protag sounds a little more irritated every time they do.

30.) old gang members from old rival gangs sometimes try to take down the protagonist.

feel free to add your own!
