Newest Saints Row: The Third Cherished Memories trailer has unethical panda shooting

Saints Row: The Third really wants you to remember it, and it doesn’t care how insanely effed up it has to be to get your attention. It’ll shoot people dressed as energy drinks or heavily reference Tron just to win your favor. And then there’s the case of the neon, giant-headed, Japanese cat-man (or man-cat) Professor Genki, host of his own killer reality game show, but just how do you play his crazy game? The rules are simple, and mostly involve killing people. Let the newest “Cherished Memories” trailer explain…

Here’s a quick rundown of how we see the rules: shoot one-eyed tigers, don’t shoot pandas, kill people dressed as soda to get money, use that money to open doors, get set on fire, murder time fun time. See, that’s as easy to remember as Saints Row: The Third’s release date of November 15 (November 18 in the UK).
