They insist that it isn’t a new Saints Row, but it’s clearly Saints Row. I love the whole 80s Saturday morning cartoon thing it’s got going on. Also, children of the internet, every game that doesn’t look like Gears of War isn’t a ripoff of Overwatch.

Man this style is the hot shit of the moment, isn’t it. Speaking of, I hope Crackdown 3 has a “play it now” announcement at E3. I need those destruction physics in my life.

Did we really get so used to brown blandness over the past decade that being colorful and silly is a “style” now?

Still more interested in Mafia III.

Yup. I was so sensitive to colour that the amount of colours in Sunset Overdrive blinded me for a month

Same thing happened to me when I first experienced Forza 5 lighting.

God I love Saints Row. The first time “You’ve Got the Touch” started playing when I got super powers in 4, I had to pause it I was laughing so hard. The best.

The best needle drop in SR4 was either “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” or “What is Love”.

Also, the only correct way to play SR4 is using Nolan North voice. Since it’s Nolan North as Nolan North.

Sunset Overdrive is the single worst-paced game I have ever played. It never slows down. Ever. It’s 100% all the time.

Yup, this is definitely a Saints Row reboot. Not surprising after Gat Out of Hell’s ending.

It’s technically “set in the world of Saints Row” it’s pretty clear that it’s SR5.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the story winds up being that the game is supposed to be one of the many, many officially-licensed Saints products that appeared in SR3.

Some say that Overwatch is a TF2 clone in itself- cloneception basically

Also, my new catchphrase is “Ahoy, muthafuckas!”

At this point, honestly, I’d say that Overwatch is to TF2 what Saints Row or Just Cause are to GTA. It takes the best things TF2 did: how each class plays differently enough that there’s at least one for everybody to enjoy and how they were distinct in appearance and personality, making them both entertaining and easy to identify by silhouette, and just went mental with it.

That was the some say part. I think there’s really enough difference to say that overwatch is not a TF2 clone
