Saints Row thread

You can really tell this game was written by a 40 year old single mom.

I love the shit out of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout is my favorite franchise ever. I don't think I've ever seen a main story moment glitch out this badly in any Bethesda game and that's saying a fucking lot.

This fucking thing was delayed for six months, how bad was it then for this to be considered "acceptable" to release?

 

[Mega Black]

Doesn't have the DLC, unfortunately.

Maybe a controversial opinion but outside of a couple vehicles I never really felt like they were worth the money regardless, and it's not like the plot ever got followed up on.

 

[Ruin]

Actually I'm watching the Skillup review right now and has anyone ever seen him actually get like unironically mad about a game's quality before? Multiple times you can hear his voice crack with barely constrained rage and frustration and I don't think I've ever seen another review where he did that.

 

[The Last Stand]

Irredeemable characters/story, boring gameplay, uninspired mission design, and being a broken mess even after a six month delay?

Guys, this just might be that game for this year, the utter shitshow that utterly destroys its IPs credibility.

Damn, not even major news outlets are liking this game.

It's mediocre AT BEST.

Here's a big fucking that Crowbcat will make a video on how bad this franchise has fallen.

Fuck, a 6 at both IGN and Gamespot is like a 2/10 at a reputable outlet.

Who was the person that wanted to spend $100 on this reboot?

Do what you want with your money, but you'd literally get more value by buying open world games from 10+ years ago.

That would be @Glowie Hunter Art Bell, though he's been awfully silent in this thread ever since the embargo dropped and the reviews started pouring out. Seems that he's increased his dosing of copium.

Lmao, I knew they were going to release a buggy, unfinished, piece of shit soon as they delayed it. Imagine how bad it was going to be before they pushed it back several months.

Hope Volition fucking croaks after this soulless flop.

Or maybe the Volition shill payments stopped coming in.

"Positive: The diverse cast of characters are fun to spend time with"

That GameSpot reviewer couldn't help themselves. One of the most heavily criticized aspects and they blatantly lie about if for obvious reasons. What a joke. lol

Feels bad to see Saints Row die like this

I know. I'm happy to see this reboot get shredded and won't shed a tear if Volition gets closed down, but Saints Row deserved better.

It might be possible for Deep Silver to salvage the series by giving it to a different developer, but people will still remember this disaster.

Hope Embracer learns from this mistake.

What even is Volition at this point? I assume most of the key talent left and the studio is now dominated by a bunch of millennials/zoomers. Similar to what's happened to Blizzard.

If companies are too afraid to do a proper Saints Row game out of fear offending ResetEra types why even bother? Anyone with common sense would know a "millennial power fantasy" has extremally limited appeal and fans of the series would reject that. The game being a technical disaster on top of that is just icing on the cake. I don't see how the studio or the series survive this.

 

[WULULULULU]

Idgaf, SMT Soul Hackers 2 is out in like a week. I'm going to drink and assemble a team of titty demons.

Just play Elden Ring for the th'd time. Even modern Volition somehow is fucking up on the open-world concept.

 

[Sunflower Samurai]

Lmao i wonder how the shills that were hyping up this game for culture war brownie points will react to every normie out there calling it a buggy piece of shit thats written like garbage

They won't even stick around for long. The next, newest, shiny POC-adjacent product will come out and blind consumerism will take over.

 

[blablabla]

waiting for ma boy sinthetic man review of this shit

Deep Silver's last open-world game was Ride to Hell: Retribution. That was dogshit.
