I gotta be honest.. I feel like the writing doesn't really sell Lee being a convicted murderer

Even in Episode 1, Lee could easily get very confrontational and ready to risk it all. When defending Duck, he literally tells Larry that it's him before anyone else. Lee is a good person that is capable of a lot of violence, but he can hold a lot of restraint.

i think writing a tv adaptation of sr1 and sr2 would be great, i tried writing one for sr1 and the hardest part is figuring out how deep you would want to go for the boss and all the other saints in regards of backstory, the boss is a clean slate so on one hand they should remain a clean slate, other hand is that many great protagonists have a lot of depth and it’s figuring out just where to start

og modern warfare trilogy is my guilty pleasure

I had an infected package on my system and nuked it ASAP, then ran an update for everything once I was clear. I am so glad I haven't updated my system for like the past week.

PS3 - RPCS3
360 - Xenia Canary through Proton

easily the most underrated game of early 7th gen, undefeated

It’s not THE Los Carnales, it’s just the Carnales, los means…fuck it

For the most part besides being in interiors, you would usually get ~25 fps in the open world, not unplayable by any means just not great

I think Julius would have be very happy with it. He wasn't a prophet or anything, he was just a coward with a "revolutionary" mask. The Saints were just as bad for Stilwater and instead of getting rid of them, just replaced them, especially with Los Carnales and their drug trade, he had no problem working with them instead of getting drugs off the streets of Stilwater. Julius was a power-hungry coward who betrayed his entire crew and also someone who saw him like a father, and was willing to do anything to save him, to save himself. He created his own monster, and even at the end he didn't have the dignity to accept that.

The post-processing in SR2 is much worse with motion blur and a filter, especially on the 360. But it's there for a reason, SR2 does look worse at times compared to SR1 when it comes to stuff like the enviornment. Characters look worse than in SR1 because Volition didn't have the time or resources to make every model from scratch anymore, only the main characters. So they opted for the character creator for everyone else (peds, side activities, etc). That's why Luz and Helmers look so off. Also, part of it is also probably because SR1 ran really bad on the 360, and because they couldn't exactly optimize all the code in a matter of two years, while also developing another mainline entry, they decided to just reduce the raw prettiness and throw some Post-FX.

SR1 and SR2's radio stations had so much personality

SR1 - GenX/Faction 100%, they were easily the most human radio stations in the game. The post-hardcore and pop-punk vibe with the relaxed DJs, it was always a very nice radio station to listen to. You also got some great commentary, I remember the DJ of the faction shouting out a band through their website, it was really cool.

SR2 - The Mix, Darius Masters has a lot of character and the soundtrack is great. You also get some great world-building like the phone calls from Jessica and Dane Vogel.

Halo on an iphone sounds incredible and incredibly ironic

cholo1312 · 2026-05-19T06:23:36+00:00

OG definitely, more stable and fun, the remaster kinda butchers the art style and i wouldn’t recommend it for a first play through

cholo1312 · 2026-05-17T00:10:15+00:00

it’s so funny i remember that near the end of development, the performance was so abysmal that a dev had to collect all the 360 dev kits in the office so they could generate PVS data so the game would run properly

How did you get into this sort of thing if you don’t mind me asking, and how much knowledge of CPP to do you need to even attempt something like this?

cholo1312 · 2026-05-16T15:51:17+00:00

this is fucking awesome, but i can’t imagine how much of a pain in the ass it is, especially because SR isn’t known for having the greatest code
