Man you know you fucked up when even Skillup who is arguably the easiest major reviewer to pay off with free merch/access can't find even one nice thing to say about your game.

no swag, hence the review

in general I'm surprised how many people even care, otoh watching a trainwreck is always funny. have to wonder how much of a nothingburger the game would've been if it was at least technically functional.
 
Volition should have gone under after Gat out of Hell and it should have gone under after Agents of Mayhem for sure. If they don't go down now, I am ready to crown them the DSP of game companies. Their last 3 games would probably sink anyone but the biggest sharks in the game development world. Epic Games propped them up for one last try but in my opinion it has to be over.

The only way out I can see for them is massive downsizing, re-releasing Saints Row 2 (or even better, SR1 since it never came out on PC) and hope to god it sells well enough to finance another AA game. I doubt it though, anyone with any actual talent is probably long gone.

PS: Anyone who didn't see this coming from the time of the first trailer should probably get their brain checked for tumors.

Apparently the zoomers looking for a SJW GTA preordered enough copies of the game to keep the lights on for a lil bit longer.

Would their current crop of troons and dangerhairs even allow them to remaster the first two games? As much as I hate to admit it times have changed so fucking much I have a hard time imagining some of the shit from the OGs like Gat laughing at the dudes he raped in prison or the boss implying Kenzie's pussy tastes horrible being allowed to hit the marketplace.

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.

Been at work all day, just now getting a chance to look at reviews. Don't think I'm picking it up.

Whoever said I was gunna spend $100 is out of their mind. I was gunna buy the base $60 version if I felt inclined. I had $100 in free Psn cash is probably what youre thinking of.

There legitimately seems to be a strange phenomenon the past few years where sequels/reboots to established games by established companies have a sequel after a few years longer than usual, only for the game to legitimately feel like it was made by a company that has never touched a game before, or have any knowledge of the previous entries. Andromeda, 76, Saints Row 2022, i'm sure a ton of others I can't remember right now, but it's a very specific thing.

Like you will have a series that is very fleshed out, the game engine works well, there aren't any insane bugs, and then you get a game like Andromeda where it feels like the designers legitimately didn't know how to rig and pose a simple human face. You'll have bugs that will make a Bethesda dev blush. You'll straight up have zero NPCs in your game.

These are growing pains sort of issues that you'd expect and understand with a brand new indie game company trying to make something beyond their talent, but it keeps happening with triple-A game series and companies. Remember that terrible Man Vs Wild game from the early 2010s? The game with button mashing quicktime segments that you didn't actually have to have any input during? The game was made by game design college graduates that never made an actual game before, and those were the sort of issues you'd expect.

It feels like publishers are legitimately hiring newbies with no experience without anything to work on from the past. It's like they weren't allowed to see or play the previous entries in the games, only to have them described to them, and then remade shoddily in Unity. It's just... baffling.

because they're not the same devs, that's the first thing that people need to get through their skull. a company name is just a brand, that's why EA labeled every studio "bioware X" so retards think OMG A BIOWARE GAME IT'S GONNA BE GREAT!

the next issue is who those new people are. look at the industry, look at the jobs - anyone with a shred of integrity and smarts is gonna stay the fuck away from that and either go indie or try to become a FAANG codemonkey, because there you at least get paid the big bucks (usually). no one is gonna crunch his life away for shit pay unless you're the kind of sucker that thinks OMG WORKING AT BLIZZARD IS SO GREAT AND FUN BECAUSE THEY MAKE VIDEOGAMES!!!!1. and outside of tech vidya was always the collecting pit for failed hollywood writers and other shitters. only difference before is that at least the industry had standards (ymmv).
so while there might be plenty of new (cheaper) blood to replace the devs that get pushed out because politics ("I'm just here to make good games") or know their worth and it's too much for the penny pinchers, all that new blood simply sucks (all the experienced talent leaving is a real issue, not just in vidya, but can't find the term atm).

at this point I'm repeating myself, but after wokeshit got injected it's basically the peter principle on steroids. it's not that people are promoted above their competency by circumstance or accident, these people get promoted on twitter posts, pronouns and skin color. and that only works so far - look at bioware, look at blizzard, look at dice. that's shit screams pure incompetence, yet was and is allowed to go on for years.

all we're seeing is basically the end state of that where a company is so incompetent from top to bottom, but at the same time locked in they can't get rid off all the rot (or sometimes not even aware of it, pissing off some chuds is totally worth it!) that they simply can't release a good or at least technically sound product.

slapping the name of an established series is just insult to injury at this point because the only reason it happens is said company trying to milk the IP name for nostalgiabux. no one would give a fuck if nu-saints row would've been called agents of mayhem 2...

eventually that's gonna happen, and if the game is actually good it will make mad dosh. that will be the point where wokeshit is truly dead. in the end money talks, and a company either goes down the drain or manages to change course.

or of course everything becomes so shit weimar 2.0 style that the whole industry implodes along with it...

My list of trusted devs has been small for years and lost another earlier this year when PolyPhony Digital fucked up. I actually pretty rarely buy games and just wanted SR to be good. Looks like my wishes are not granted.

The only people I'll pre order from anymore are Saber and Giants

I knew it was gonna suck, but I didn't expect it to match SR2's fucking PC port in terms of stability. At least that motherfucker crashes due to memory leaks and can be expected and kind of dealt with. With this you can't even get onto the game and have to deal with restarts due to it FORGETTING HOW TO INPUT.

It's so bad even shills struggle to defend it, and can't even say it's good. Fucking amazing.
