Because it's Saints Row and I love Saints Row and it has been almost TEN FUCKING GODDAMN YEARS SINCE GTAV and I'm so thirsty for a traditional sandbox game with GANGS and mayhem that this was like a cool glass of water in a fucking dessert covered in SHIT.

Although her description of the new characters really sounds ghastly (a guy who loves to cook and one who loves podcasts? The fuck?)
The developers say that Saints Row’s focus is, at least early in the game, going to focus on the material concerns of its young crew. These disaffected millennials turn to crime to, for instance, put food on their table, feel part of a community and pay off their student loans. Chief creative officer Jim Boone says that it’s, broadly, a “contemporary” millennial “power fantasy.” It’s only later that the game’s focus switches to the sort of empire-building that, in the previous series, eventually saw your character becoming president.https://www.engadget.com/saints-row-reboot-2022-200040315.html
I suppose there's scope for it to be funny if they lampoon woke people, q distinguisheds and the overall nonsense of the modern day world, but then you run the risk of upsetting the soyboy betacucks in the games media and there being an agenda against your game :thinkingI dunno, that type off satire is already stale in a way, because it's all you find on the internet, alt-right v woke, essentially.

Maybe why SR2 was the funniest, it had the "dumbest", less snarky kind of humor, and it felt more genuine, it straddled the line between serious and dumb well enough to make you think they were serious about it, which is the only way to be funny with that kind of material.
In other words, The Room is funny because it's trying to be serious, a The Room 2 where they embrace its mockery/legacy would be a piece of shit.
But Saint's Row never had biting commentary, it was toilet humor and references anyway.
The trailer on the PlayStation and Xbox channels are currently 50% and 54% positive respectively, while the one on the Saints Row channel is only 39% positive, suggesting the Saints Row fanbase is less encouraged by the reboot than the general video game community is.
Despite this, developer Volition has made it clear that it isn't going to change the vision it has for the game based on the initial reaction to the trailer.
After responding to a follower with a gif saying "haters gonna hate" and being told it was letting down the fanbase, the official Saints Row Twitter account replied: "We are not backing down on this game. We get it, it's new and it's a shock reaction to a reboot like no other."
I mean, SSX Deadly Descents apparently* turned out OK despite a massively-negative initial trailer and similar "We're changing the series almost 180 style-wise from the other games" vibes.Yes and no.
*what I heard
I think the fact that different people have different favorite entries in the series (I'm actually with boredfrom in that I enjoyed 3 and 4 the most, I *liked* dialing the absurdity up to 11 and the gameplay in 4 where you have super powers in the matrix is my favorite) just kind of shows that if they do the reboot well, it'll be fine. I have enjoyed all the games in the series, I dunno why y'all fuckers gotta fight over dumb shit. If they put out a crappy game, we'll know when we play it, but for my money they haven't yet.
Well, when they're saying stuff like this (https://www.google.com/amp/s/gamerant.com/new-saints-row-going-blow-roof-off-says-community-dev/amp/), can't say the brief gameplay snippets were achieving that feeling.
I know I'm dogging on it allot with too much still unknown, but the absurdity bar was raised so damn high with 3 and 4 it's hard not to feel a bit taken back by what they've shown so far.

*what I heard
It was an alright game in its own right.
It had nothing of what made SSX, SSX. So if you were a fan (i wasn't so whatever) it really didn't deliver on that.
A bit like Rainbow Six Siege you could say, it's a good competitive shooter, but if you liked the Red Storm Rainbow Six games, it really had nothing to offer you.
This one seems closer in general design, just the humor and style seem different, so even if you hate the style, you'll probably be able to somewhat enjoy the open world gameplay.
"KEEP WOKENESS OUT OF SAINTS ROW" says the person who has only played 3 and 4, while neglecting 2, a game about gentrification and corporate colonization of culture. A game where, the previous Saints hideout was turned into a memorial to represent anti-gang sentiment. Saints Row has always had politics hidden in the background behind the zaniness.

I agree with this, except this new edition literally looks like you are playing as millennial corporate influencer gentrifiers #squadgoals #relatable

It's okay if you haven't played 2, but the please be aware that the Saints franchise is all over the map and your idea of what it is and represents doesn't necessarily mean it's the only interpretation.

This could be straight out of a GTA.
But then it got increasingly about references and slapstick obviously SR is much more comedic than GTA.
Why is jank bad and why does jank mean mediocre? How can you possibly reconcile "pentacle of the genre" and "these games are mediocre?"Because in a game, jank means things like bad animations, shoddy physics, unpolished controls, etc.
Saints Row 3 isn't nowhere as good as 2, but it's still pretty fucking good. I won't mention the abortion that is IV. SR1 is better than GTAIV.
Who cares about jank and why does it make a game lesser exactly?
I think my wording of absurdity was taken wrong (or a poor choice of words on my part)... What I'm implying is the insane amount of customization that was allowed. In SRIII, Can you own a tank? Yes.. Can you paint it and decorate it? Yes... kind of. Doing and wearing whatever you want; whether it be goofy or serious, that's what made me love what it became. THAT's what I want to be "absurd"... the amount of customization. I want it to be so saturated with content and customization options... Let me wear 3 shirts over each other.. Let me adjust the level my pants sag... let me choose the design on the rims I put on my vehicle. Let me design the tatoos.. Let me choose what type of gun attachments I want on my tank or helicopter... Let me choose what sunglasses to wear with what hat I'm wearing and how I wear it... Let me choose what type of muscle tone or jiggle my character has when walking... Let me choose a variety of idle animations and posture... I want them to "Blow the roof Off" in that aspect.... but they have yet to show that... If it's in there, they should've showed snippets of that in the gameplay too, imo.
I wasn't implying; "Let's go beyond space and aliens and start doing time travel and go full Bill & Ted!!" type shit.

I like plenty of janky games, but i like them in spite of the jank.
The only thing i'll concede is that jank can grant a level of charm, which as i said, SR played off of well.
Also "pinnacle of the genre" is something you said, and i think it's bullshit, so that's how i reconcile it.

Read my edit. Is GTAIII not a classic because it has "jank"?

A 15 YEAR OLD SERIES WITH 4 MAIN ENTRIES HAS INSPIRED DIFFERENT REACTIONS IN DIFFERENT PEOPLE, NEWS AT 11
SR2 is my favorite open world game from the PS3/360 generation, except for maybe The Lost and Damned and Sleeping Dogs. The graphics were already dated, the soundtrack is good but way too limited (I seriously never want to hear fucking Paramore ever again), the story is garbage, the acting is meh, but good fucking lord the game is just really fucking fun. I played through it several times - do the pimping side mission to get the dual uzis with unlimited ammo and just go to town for the rest of the game.
I can kind of understand the position that SR2 is 'the best' due to it being a bit more tonally restrained than 3, despite all of the mechanical improvements 3 brought, but I can't understand holding that perspective then watching the below trailer and going FUCK YEAH FINALLY BACK TO THE SERIES ROOTS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gdGxjdm6yE
Saints Row IV was p dope
Everything should be more Watchdogs 2.
Wait, so people are upset about these character designs?
The trailer looks like Watchdogs 2/3. Watchdogs 2 is one of the greatest sandbox GTA ripoffs there is. I get Saints Row has been more gangster satire, but if it's more Watchdogs 2 that is ok? Everything should be more Watchdogs 2.
Everything should be more Watchdogs 2.
:donot
No. No Ubishit, please. I want more of the awesome stuff that Volition did with SR2, 3, and 4.

Speaking of customization. We can't have a Saints thread without our beautiful fellow Boreans classic video.

The game sounds pretty good so far.
Anyhow, after that derail I admit I am one of the 5 people in the universe that really liked the vibe & cast of Watchdogs 2. When I think of Gen Z hip dudebro culture satire you cannot get any better than Hackers movie vibe. I guess this Saints Row trailer is more Fortnite vibe, but generally satirical self-aware multi-cultural geek Gen Z-ers works for me /shrug

I think after R* they're the most capable developer, when it comes to creating large virtual spaces.
Something Sony should learn from, going by Horizon and Ghost of Tsushima, for example.
But their writing is consistently shit and some of the worst, most annoying i have experienced in gaming.
They've had that "hello fellow kids" attitude with 90% of their games, in the last 10 years or so.
It was in Watch Dogs 2/Legion, it was in the modern portions of most ACs past 3, all the way up to Rider's Republic of which i played the beta yesterday.
It's still gonna be a day 1 purchase for me
:yeshrug
tbh this is making me want to replay one of the older games, not sure if I should fire up 2 or 3 tho. I never played 2 with the "Gentlemen of the Row" mod, maybe time to try it

The game sounds pretty good so far.
Aside from the lame lieutenants and rival gangs, everything else sounds solid, especially customization.
Also happy full coop wasn't dropped, it was a major leg up SR had over GTA and other open world games.

I'd say wait if you're wanting to play SR2. Idolninja, who is dying from cancer by the way, is finishing up SR2 on pc. Respect his dying wish and wait if you want to replay it for the fullest, bestest version of SR2 available.

What in the fuck are you talking about? They're completely different and I say this as a fan of both.
So what is the deal with SR2 PC port? Seems everything I read, it's mostly just glitchy? What was that big patch suppose to do? Like, remaster it is ways, or just iron it out some?
Is it playable now with current mods? I don't see any mods on nexus.
Just checked and Volition and Deep Silver are supposed to be finishing Gentlemen Of The Row at some point.

The tone of the games are polar opposites for one

Sr1 is a bit more self serious yea but..
So what is the deal with SR2 PC port? Seems everything I read, it's mostly just glitchy? What was that big patch suppose to do? Like, remaster it is ways, or just iron it out some?The version of the game on GOG (https://www.gog.com/game/saints_row_2) (currently 75% off, $2.49) should run fine on modern PC's. I don't know if the Steam version is as cleaned up but it's worth a try if you already have it.
Is it playable now with current mods? I don't see any mods on nexus.
The code for the port was thought lost for a number of years but Volition was able to get ahold of it thanks to GOG/CDPR.

The original PC port was farmed out to a company which eventually farmed it out to an arm of CD Projekt with a very small timeline so it was very hit or miss at release. It got patched once in a way that actually made it stutter more. GOG has since tweaked it further though. (And computer technology has advanced as to simply power past lots of the original issues.) As mentioned, the Gentleman of the Row mod patches it up further and adds content. Volition is updating Gentleman of the Row as a formal patch for the game but there is no timetable on the release, it was one of Idolninja's wishes that they complete it and they agreed to it in honor of him. The code for the port was thought lost for a number of years but Volition was able to get ahold of it thanks to GOG/CDPR.
I personally recommend the GOG version if you don't have it, especially with it on sale. Great version of a great game that runs just fine for me.
More like Saints Row the Turd. I imagine the vocal minority you're seeing are the ones that think Saints Row 2 was the best and SR3 kinda ruined the franchise.
Wouldn't your conniptions over Final Fantasy put you straight into "Gamers are shit" category as well.
Saints Row the Third: you play as basically movie stars that are gangsters. All of this ignores the fact that college students that need to become gangsters to pay off student loans is, in essence, pretty fucking hilarious.
How is people getting fed up with modern progressive thinking not legit criticism? Everything about what they've shown makes me think they'll beat me over the head with their lukewarm "progressive" takes.
Not to mention outside of twitter "wokeness" isn't even a thing, and anyone who claims it is invariably turns out to either have fallen for right wing propaganda or have been told at some point in their life not to say the n word
Previous Saints Row games were tonally similar to Archer - this one looks tonally similar to New Girl.
Both shows might be fine sitcoms, but if you like Archer, New Girl doesn't scratch the same itch.
I like (the good seasons of) both shows :ufup

I agree with Cindy, gamers should be collectively thrown into the sea
It's less holier than thou and more "God these people share this hobby with me and I fucking hate them, what does this say about me as an individual?"

I have a very deep and dark secret.
Are you ready?
Some people here enjoyed GTAIV and Saints Row 2
Here's another secret, a juicy one
Videogames usually have shitty humor, this new Saints Row looks like it has really shitty humor. The game could be great to play still, and that matters the most.
Here's the darkest one yet
Posting on a videogame forum is less about taste, and what you enjoy, versus discussions or conversations about games. No one gives a flying fuck about taste, you're in a social environment where relative strangers exist, not a personalized party where everyone enjoys the same shit.
hello niko its your cousin ;)
I think GTAIV was the right direction to go in for the franchise, even if it was flawed in many ways, some that GTAV did fix.
Thankfully R* resumed that direction with RDR2, which is also their best game yet.
How's the loop?The campaign moves you (every X missions) from one "camp" to another, basically around the map, for story reasons.
How's the loop?
One of the best things about GTAIII and VC were unlocks. The loop was start on an island, then you collect hidden tapes or whatever and then unlock new stuff like free weapons at your hideout. This gives you even more reason to explore. Then you unlock new island and get access to new hidden stuff to unlock even more. It's an addictive formula for me that GTAIV toned down because pigeons don't have a reward every 10 pigeons or so like with hidden tapes. It breaks the formula for me and it's one of many GTAIV's flaws.
I like the simulation tone but it has to be tip top and GTAIV, while a worthwhile experiment, didn't full fulfill the metric. That said RDR1 succeeded where IV didn't.
to the point of not even having fucking garages where you could cram whatever you could fit in there, instead you get shitty outdoor parking spaces that were sometimes vaguely possible to store 2 vehicles there, often it'd glitch out and you'd lose something

it was a function of it, since the AI and physics meant that any weird thing that happened nearby could knock your saved cars off the parking spaces, if NPCs decided to start driving crazy or bumped into them or whatnot, especially with the more physics heavy engineI liked the outdoor parking, felt more natural.How's the loop?

The glitch wasn't really a function of it (the game doesn't care if you have a polygonal model of a garage around the spot marked for saving your vehicles) since the glitch of disappearing vehicles was also in the old GTAs as well as in GTAV with enclosed garages.

Saints Row wouldn’t be Saints Row without customization, so of course this game will have tons of customization! We’ve built the biggest customization suite of any Saints Row game; we have the most in-depth character creator ever seen in a Saints game. You can create exactly who you want to play as – whether that’s a stone-cold killer or a fantastic looking freakshow. There are eight customizable voices you can give to the Boss – four male and four female – all sound great, and again more choice than we’ve offered in other Saints Row games. And also, you’ll be pleased to hear, layered clothing is BACK! Well done to the eagle eyed of you that picked up on that. In terms of vehicles, we have a HUGE array of customization options to dig in to – and any vehicle you customize will be safely stored in a garage. There’s a lot to look forward to and much more to come, including some big surprises that we can’t share just yet, as well as some features that are sure to make jaws drop.:obama :ohyeah
after cyberpunk, a dick/pussy slider is essential for any quality character creator

I feel like I've totally missed out on SR2... The first one was so blah and meh back then, I had zero interest in SR2. Wasn't even gonna care for SR3 until it was free on PS+ and bork insisted I play it... I did and totally had one of the biggest blasts in my gaming memory... I had no idea.
If you thought the first one was blah I dont know why you would like the second one
1 was better than GTA IV in a lot of waysFirst one was a bunch of guys in Champagne, IL, making what they thought was gangbanger GTA game, without a sense of humor. They studiously avoided several GTA gameplay mechanics, likely suspecting it would awaken something litigious in Rockstar.

Looks much better than Steelport, though not exactly to a level where you can flex with a "just walk around" video, compared to the level where world building's at in 2021 open worlds.
I like the skyline at night though, if the game's fun it should do well.
Personally i would've gone with something a bit more vertically complex, to aid the gameplay.
I still want to see a lot more gameplay, but I also admit that the only reason I'm not already confirmed in for this is the EGS exclusivity period. I can wait a year for Steam.

Driving and gunplay. Think I'm fully on board with this now.
This game really needs some kind of gimmick, because so far it looks bland as fuck.All I want them to show is the absurd amount of customization they claim it'll have. :hmph

Cool! I can't wait to see which of us is correct.Just for the record tho, i don't wish for this to fail or anything, infact i'll play it most likely, once it's on sale (or on gamepass).
This is going to be a Lawbreakers-tier bomba, mark my words. It's just so fucking sterile.It may turn out just fine... but that release window. :whew Good luck with that, Volition.
I think it will benefit from the fact that urban open world games have had only GTA V for something like 10 years now.Sole reason I'm interested. I don't care about the woke vs anti-woke debate here, but I have wanted a GTA3 style urban open-world game for a long time.
On the Xbox 360, when the first saints row came out, everyone was hungry for this type of game, and Volition beat Rockstar to the market for that generation. At the very least, I think people are craving something fresh now.
https://saintsrow.com/news/saints-update-from-jim-boone
Delayed to August 2022.
They need to model the new Saints on Era staff.
A crew comprising Cerium, Nep Nep, Slayven and Morrigan? :lawd
Saints Row will no longer release on the originally announced date of 25th February 2022, instead it will launch worldwide on 23rd August 2022.Translation: "We never thought we'd make this date but thanks for the pre-order money suckers"
Our priority is to create the best Saints Row game yet and, if we released on the original date, it wouldn’t be up to the standards we’ve set ourselves, and that you’re expecting and deserve. The team just need more time to do our vision justice; we’re doing some fine tuning and there won’t be much change in the game outside of overall quality and polish.Translation: "This game is a hot mess, we'll salvage what we can but you bought GTA Trilogy right?"
In all honesty, we underestimated the impact COVID would have on our schedule, although everyone adapted very quickly to the working from home arrangement and continued to be incredibly productive.Translation: "QA was left idle on ZOOM calls the devs forgot about. It was a big fucking mess and there was no direction. People suddenly left because they could work from home for any company they wanted"
However, due to the size and scope of our new Saints Row, it’s become apparent that to create the best game possible, we need to give our team longer to perfect their craft.Translation: "We have to cut some stuff, how the hell is this going to run on Xbox One?"
As mentioned when we announced Saints Row in August, this will be the biggest and best Saints Row game ever and, in order to achieve our goal, we’ve settled upon a generous, yet essential amount of time to realise our ambitions.Translation: "We have no idea how long this is going to take or what the end result will be like"
Rest assured, there will not be any changes to the story or the characters or anything that we’ve lovingly imagined over the last few years and already shared with you.Translation: "What's done is done I guess"
Over the past two years, all corners of the entertainment industry have been affected/impacted in one way or another. As gamers ourselves, we know what it feels like to have something delayed which you’ve been looking forward to; it’s frustrating and you feel disappointed. But we also know that when we finally get Saints Row in your hands, it will have been worth the wait. It’s our absolute priority to get this right.Translation: "Maybe we can salvage this thing with a day one patch or maybe not if you have to wait long enough you'll buy it anyway"
Keep it strange,Translation: "Cool tag line huh, I came up with that" 8)

I don't think its that, they'd have just pushed it to March/April if they wanted to get out of the way of other shit :trumpsWhy not both.
If it's still fun, I don't care if they woke it up. I'm just worried it won't be fun. Remember Agents of Mayhem? (that's a joke, no one remembers Agents of Mayhem)

I feel like SR6 gonna benefit from that it's been a billion years since GTAV and there hasn't been any GTA-likes on the market in forever outside Watchdogs Legion which was weak. Unlike certain crowded genres, it's been enough years that a good GTA-like would feel fresh again.For me it does feel like the timing of it's release is a sweet spot. With all the fantasy, horror and space games flooding the market currently, this may feel old school fresh again.. My optimism for this has been slowly increasing again. I just hope they have zany shit like driving the cougar around type missions.

Or will you get it on a Epic account like you did with Tony Hawk? :doge
\Not the best route to go, but since fucking Tony Hawk Remake still isnt on any other platform.... I mean what could I do? Its still not available elsewhere, not even cracked.
I have never spent a cent on EGS and never will.

Buy it with a legit account or on a console.I have never spent a cent on EGS and never will.
OK. Keep missing out on all the free games they give out, bullshit-free, all the time. We've had this discussion before on here. I prefer to get games on Steam, but there's multiple storefronts out there and Epic isn't any different than the likes of Origin, UPlay, Battle.Net, etc. I'll likely get this game on EGS over a console. It's not a big deal.

I dont care about the free games man, I have so many games Ill never have the time to play them all. Also 90% of their free games, I already have. Epic is different, they tie up games to be exclusive to their storefront. Origin doesnt do that, Uplay doesnt do that, Battle.net doesnt do that (Im talking about third party games not developed by those companies). I dont want to support that.
I dont have a current gen console at the moment so that option is out. I will buy any EGS exclusive if it comes to Steam later, and it's good and I have interest in it. I just dont want to spend anything on a guy calling out "walled gardens" but in the meantime making his own walled garden of his own.

"I don't want to support THE EVIL EPIC, but I will pirate games instead!" OK. Really supporting those developers!
Who cares whether or not it's third-part or not? If you want to play all the games available on PC, you have to use multiple storefronts. If you don't like that, get a console- oh wait, they have exclusive third-party releases too.
:idont
Also, while it's nice to see EA put their games on Steam again, don't you need to still have Origin to play them? Ditto for the Ubi games. So boot up Steam to then boot up another storefront to then play the game.
Jim Robs is the same joke, maybe even funnier?
:huh
a rim job is a colloquialism for analingus, but naming a car customisation shops that might imply that they will do a job on your rims, as in that is their specialisation.
It is a pun.
Jim Robs suggests nothing about the type of business it might be, and the only implication is that the owner Jim might be a thief.
If you had a fictional garden tools shop and you called it "Cheap Hoes", you would be making a business that plausibly does what the name implies, but also punning on a more common usage of the phrase.
If you then renamed it "Heap Choes" its not the same joke. Its not funnier.
Wrong. You shouldnt have to. That's what Epic is trying to enforce. Most if not all publishers have already returned to Steam. I am trying to not support that "multiple launcher is a neccesity" bs.
And yes, I would rather pirate games than buy them on Epic Games Store. The developers chose themselves to align on that store, they know the consequences of barely any sales on EGS. EGS games barely sell. Their ROI is horrible.
If developers want to succeed, and spread their chances, increase their userbase, then it might be smarter to not launch exclusively on EGS. But instead launch on all platforms!
Wasnt Tim Sweeney's big thing about choice being important? Wouldnt his 'exclusives' give more back to the consumer? Cheaper games? I have seen none of that. In fact I have seen games stay at their high price (Kingdom Hearts) because they are only available on EGS. Fuck all that bro.
PC space shouldnt splinter like the console space. It never was that way, and it shouldnt be that way.
Going pretty offtopic in all this but hey. I have all Saints Row games on Steam. Why would I want to get the fifth one somewhere else?
How do I know they arent selling well?
Look at the numbers Epic had put out their year over year profits have barely gone up despite securing multiple big exclusives. It's just an annoying cumbersome bullshit that we shouldnt have to deal with, and im not gonna support that type of business. If you do, thats you. I wouldnt want to purchase anything from such a corrupt venture.
But it's also a gamble Epic Games is perfectly equipped to shoulder, for the time being. That's largely because of Fortnite, a game that was still reportedly making $400 million in revenue per month as of last April, nearly three years after its launch. Epic's willingness to take risks is also due to the Unreal Engine, which brings in a 5 percent royalty on sales from dozens of blockbuster games ranging from Yoshi's Crafted World to Mortal Kombat 11.
Put those together, and you have a company making $3.85 billion dollars in gross profit on $9.625 billion in revenue, according to court documents. For a company like that, spending a few years and nearly a billion dollars in losses on a new PC gaming storefront probably feels like dropping pocket change in the tip jar.
Them giving away free games is just an enticement to get you in their platform. Like I said, I have plenty of games and most of their free offerings I already have.
I wont scorn anyone for using their store, but I dont see how you can be so flippant about it. Its clear cut greed, doesnt give consumers more options, and is in fact in every way a downside for the consumer.
No clue why youd go batting for that kind of corporate greed.
I think its more so that the crusade against Epic is akin to platform warring for consoles.
Okay, I guess we know who the rising fourth-year PHD student in comedy school is. :badass

When I google it, I see that Epic themselves doesn't expect their store to become profitable until at least 2025 and that they can afford to keep losing money with all the cash they're throwing at exclusives:

I don't see anything they are doing that is any "worse" than any other big-ass vidya corporation. How DARE they try to get people to go buy things from their storefront! Look at those scumbags giving away full games!
:brain
Since there's no cockney/british boss I dont see how this game can be any better than previous Saints games anyway 😵💫What the fuck are they thinking with this game? smh
Saints Row peaked with 2 it seems.As much as this is true, the release schedule is rather empty this year. I can see it do well because there isn't much else out there.
Don’t really know what they are thinking with this one. It has bomb written all over it and created people not in touch with any audience.

Some good music in there.I've been obnoxiously optimistic about it lately... I realize it's mostly nostalgia though... However, I've been watching vids of SR2-4 lately and I can't help but feel this kinda goes in line with them gameplay-wise... I just hope those side characters bring it and "evolve" to some zaniness(?) levels like Zimos.
And that's great and all, but it won't matter if this game is crap. Hoping it turns out well.
lol I wouldn't be surprised if they wasn't sending out review copies.
Svejk, go check out videos of Agents Of Mayhem and see how you feel about post-SR4 Volition.Eh, I think they were definitely trying something else in terms of team battle crap that they could eventually monetize on, but it obviously wasn't what people wanted from them and failed, so it sounds like, so far, they got that from fans and are really trying to win them back. So much so, that they had that one guy (that passed away unfortunately) that was working on an official SR2 patch, and are supposedly still working on picking up after him... Of course, it's all hands on deck on the reboot right now. Who knows, this could be as good a reboot as Tomb Raider was, on a smaller scale of course.

Yup. It’s a Saints Row game.
It definitely looks last-gen.
Verticality of the city is drastically reduced from previous titles.
I have $70 of Steam credit waiting to be used from the motherboard I bought last year. I'd have pre-ordered this already if it was on Steam, but not spending more money I don't need to on this @ EGS unless it's even better than 2 or 3. Which I doubt will be the case. Fingers crossed bork

The dregs of this shitty forum, 14 years on, have finely broken me. Later y'all, you all suck and have shitty taste.
I watched the preview linked on last page and I'm falling into my knees in ectasy. Finally grounded yet insane Row is back. This is very SR2 esque, where the characters have their own things and passions. A big problem with characterization started in 3 where it became far more Boss oriented and characters like Shaundi were kind of changed in a weird way or the enemy gangs are barely characterized. Again, flanderization.
This looks back to basics in a lot of ways with the gameplay of 3 and the story/tone of 2. Strap me in.

This is why GTA Vice City is probably my favorite GTA. The story is incredibly simple, build an empire by being a violent sociopath. All the characters are scheming, slimy, and impulsive.
Yakuza as a franchise also benefits from having really ruthless and intimidating characters.
College students wanting to fulfill their dreams, and starting a life of organized crime to do that, is fucking stupid.
Young people that are high-school drop outs, kids that didn't fit in, young adults that see normal life as too boring, so they decide to feed their impulses or try to feel alive? That's captivating.
College kids with majors? Dumb. Very dumb.

I'm still interested in seeing how this turns out once they've patched it up and actually gotten it playable. :brainI'm trying to remain hopeful they'll miraculously get it somehow and go full-on Sean Murray and spit shine the fuck out of this back to goodness, but they've probably already gone too woke to transition back to what it was naturally born to be.
My last vent on this...I remember devs really having trouble when female/male options became the norm because they had to animate everything twice.**Rant that may be sensitive to certain people**Just watched a SR3 (not remaster) female playthrough intro to make sure I didn’t have beer goggles on back then (although I did drink while playing it), but no… my memory served me all too well on how defining the character creation/boss was back then.. And it was beautiful.. And this was on PS3 mind you…
This shit here,... is blasphemy. I was in denial with the Boss Factory showing us ALL what is in the character creation. Volition and dumbfuck journos touting this has “the greatest amount of customization and representation in any SR game” is utter horse shit. Going this “non-binary only” bullshit approach with the confusing gender identity sensitive options; half-assed, unisex walking animations; package-touting only idle stances/animations; fortnite level emotes; PS2 level lack of body physics, is just plain insulting. Not bashing that community, just Volition and journos for the favoritism towards it like it’s the ONLY OPTION moving forward.. How fucking difficult is it to have male, female, and “non-binary” presets? How hard is it to have a sex appeal slider like before, but rename it if it’s so lolffensive?? How hard are body physics this gen?? Is that too degrading to the women working at Volition?? Lofl We can have naughty bits and very suggestive covers and clothing, but can’t have an ass or tit jiggle in the slightest?!? This contumelious approach expecting players of all types to accept this as a new norm… they can fuck right off.
If I’m wrong, then Volition is totally blind to past efforts and are lazy pieces of shit. This isn't a Reboot, this is ResetEra tier trash trying to cancel out what made the game good.
:sistine[close]
Also why not wait 2(?) more months to release it to fix some more bugs before shipping.Remember, this was supposed to come out back in February.
Why release a broken ass game in the middle of the summer.

Hey, at least us GTA clone fans still got Watch_Dogs.spoiler (click to show/hide)Hahaahahahahaahahahaahah. Fucking hell, Legion was so bad.[close]
Seriously.
WD2 was so good, and built on the stuff that worked in WD1 — Legion was so frustrating and cheesy. That AI-driven synthesized voice garbage was remarkably distracting. The gameplay was not bad until getting in any car or motorcyle, at which point the camera devolves to an unresponsive and frustrating trail-cam with limited "peek" angle. It was SO MISERABLE.
that has to be fake
The Beta Network? :comeon
There is a pretty huge Day 1 patch that got released. Not sure if any of the reviewers have commented on this yet.
(https://abload.de/img/srapd1p.png)I don't get what's supposed to be bold or daring or a gamble about this "REBOOT THAT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE" when it sounds like the same game?
Monolith's gamble to reset and reground Xenoblade Chronicles pays off generously. A visual delight with plenty of gameplay mechanics to keep players goofing off for days and the Aionios setting is one of the best in video game history. Sure the combat get redundant after a while, but with so much to see and do you can go hours between battles. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 manages to retain what players loved while feeling fresh and new. Other reboots, take note - this is how you do it.

The day one patch will surely improve the story and shooting
What'd people expect? For them to patch in a better game?
It looks like the day one patch is only up for the Xbox version right now- explains some things. I'll keep watching it, but if they don't address the big issues, I guess I'll check it out once it goes bomba and is $20-$30 or just pass on it.Basically where I'm at. Not gonna totally dismiss it, but not getting it now at full price.
I like how some of the shills are straight up lying about the game. "You couldn't rob a store in any of the games."
You can in all of them. 4 taking place in the Matrix had you hack them instead. What does lying about this shit even achieve. It only shows that you didn't play the old games in the first place.
"The Saints' legacy ends here - not with a bang, but with a whimper."
Killbane's words couldn't have aged better.
Hope Volition don't fuck up the long awaited PC patch.
Holy shit.... is Sonic Frontiers gonna beat out SR?? :ohhh

Opinions are all over the place. Looking through the Reddit sub, there are people acting like said shills, people reporting problems so bad that they can't play the game, people shitting all over the game for being garbage, and people legitimately enjoying it despite its issues. I still want to play this, but I'm not going to buy the game in the state that it's in.
It doesn't look like PS5 and PC have gotten any patches yet so nothing has changed there. Pretty ridiculous when there's people reporting that they can't even PLAY the game on PC or have to close out of numerous startup errors just to get it going.

They thank the Reddit mods in the credits, apparantly those mods have been viciously silencing negativity on their forums since the development. I dunno I never went there but LOL
Believable, that’s why Reddit will always be trash. A better forum would be staffed by mods who can only be bought with titty games and the finest hentais.
In the case of Volition creative director Steve Jaros, the answer is simple: owning up to what he calls "a problem in the game industry."
Speaking to The Escapist, Jaros said, "I actually think [Tropes vs. Women creator Anita Sarkeesian's] right in this case." He went on to say that he believes the Saints Row series developer has improved in its treatment of women over years but said they still have room to grow.

Embracer Group takes a hit as new game is panned
Negative reviews of the new Saints Row video game are hitting at an awkward time for Swedish gaming giant Embracer Group, as it tries to prove itself a powerful player in the industry.
Driving the news: Critical drubbings of the game commenced at 10am ET today. The stock price for Embracer Group AB dove right after.
It’s down more than 7% for the day.
I'm sure Anita LOVES that you can run around as a half-naked -or completely nude- woman in this game.

Saints Row is done. It was great while it lasted. There's no returning from this...

Internally they see this as a big success, they shipped their second AAA game and in a well known franchise this time.

Its not even that though. Saints Row was done with IV. Volition's games from that point on were all very mediocre or serviceable at best.
The hype for this was rooted in nostalgia for a series that got 4 good and often great games. Anyone with eyes could see this was gonna be a rough game.
And genuinely from my heart, himu and human Snorenado can suck on my chubby rocket for being such obnoxious, toxic as fuck posters regarding other people's tastes in videogames.

:heh :heh :heh :heh :hehI watched the preview linked on last page and I'm falling into my knees in ectasy. Finally grounded yet insane Row is back. This is very SR2 esque, where the characters have their own things and passions. A big problem with characterization started in 3 where it became far more Boss oriented and characters like Shaundi were kind of changed in a weird way or the enemy gangs are barely characterized. Again, flanderization.
This looks back to basics in a lot of ways with the gameplay of 3 and the story/tone of 2. Strap me in.

What I'm saying is, I don't need somebody telling me how bad this game is for 50 minutes when five will suffice. :doge
Instead of watching a 50-minute review ( :mindblown), I watched a few minutes of a live stream of the Rerez guy playing it and shitting all over everything. It looked even worse than I had seen in some other videos- at one point during a mission, he drives a vehicle to a spot on the map and enemies come driving in, get out, and...just basically stand there and let him shoot them all. There was one enemy caught in a weird animation loop, attempting to draw their gun, and failing, over and over. :lolIt'll probably get a second wind with a patch and a price cut for the holiday season.
They've released a second hotfix and I'm still seeing that the game is broken. I still can't believe this is how Saints Row is going out.
:tocry
Joe does put some efforts into his skits, and he's been a fan of the series since the first game. He even bought a purple dildo to review SR3. Its a pretty good review too but I didnt have anything to do on a sunday morningOn the other hand, he's Angry Joe, a well known inarticulate idiot whose only funny skit was demanding an Interview To The Death from Geoff Keighley at the VGA red carpet.

When it's $20-$30, I'll think about it. Maybe it will be somewhat fixed by then!
We are so excited that Saints Row is finally out and in your hands. More than a million players have taken Santo Ileso by storm, and begun to build their criminal empires as The Saints.
While we have been quietly working behind the scenes, everyone at Volition has been following your response to the game, and we want to thank you for your enthusiasm, support and feedback.
We are supporting Saints Row for the long-term, and while we'd have preferred to be talking about roadmaps and expansions, right now we feel the focus must be on telling you how we're going to improve the Saints Row experience for all players in 2022 and beyond.
BUGS & FIXES
We know there is still work to do to improve your experience in the game, and we are working hard on fixes to community-reported issues, and improvements based on your feedback. You can see some of the progress we've already made from recent hotfixes here. Make sure to bookmark this page and follow our social channels for the most up-to-date Saints information, and a peek at what we're working on.
But there's a lot more we want to do, and right now our development priority is delivering improvements over new features. In keeping with that, we're going to ship our first major update in late November to pack in as many improvements and fixes as we can.
This November update will feature over 200 bug fixes and stability upgrades, and it will have a particular focus on challenges, overall stability and co-op. We're especially aware of issues some players have been having with co-op and we're sorry these fixes have taken longer than expected while we apply and test them thoroughly. Separately, we know that the game doesn't always clearly explain how and when co-op is possible, so we are working on this too. In the meantime, please make sure you check the co-op guide for info on the best way to team-up and tear-up Santo Ileso with a friend!
QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES AND ONGOING IMPROVEMENTS
At the same time, this November update will mark the beginning of a series of quality of life changes and new features for the core game. This update will include many requested improvements including reducing repetition in some activities, making challenges more rewarding, improving vehicle management, a revamp of rumble and haptic features, and more.
But the quality of life improvements in this update are just the tip of the iceberg. These are wins we feel we can get to you quickly while we work on even bigger and better improvements based on your feedback.
We plan to update you more regularly soon on what changes we're making and when!
FOR 2022
While delivering new content has become less of a priority for now, we still have a few nice additions for players in 2022.
This week we release the first of a series of cosmetic packs – the Front to Back pack – to all players for FREE. If you own the game, all you have to do is go to your relevant platform store and download it.
Front to Back DLC
We'll be releasing more free cosmetic packs this year for all players, as well as several additional cosmetic packs that will be given to Expansion Pass owners at no extra cost. The Expansion Pass will also be made available to purchase later this month (remember: you already have the Expansion Pass if you own the Gold, Platinum or Notorious editions of Saints Row).
2023 AND BEYOND
As we said at the top of the blog, we plan on supporting Saints Row for the long-term. 2023 will be a hugely exciting year for Saints Row owners with a raft of content, including all-new story content (included in the Expansion Pass, but will also be available to buy separately) and free new gameplay experiences and areas of the city to explore.
All this will of course will land aside even bigger quality of life updates, more free packs and more stuff we're not quite ready to talk about yet. Please stay tuned for regular updates on our progress and letting you know what's new with Saints Row.

Yeah, that number sounded a bit shoddy to me too. Especially for being out for almost 2 months already. I don't think a Steam release would've boosted sales too much further tbh.QuoteWe are so excited that Saints Row is finally out and in your hands.

Given how PR works and the assumption if it was >1.5 million it would have been "almost 2 million", aren't those sales... kinda sorta really crappy for relatively high profile release, large marketing budget and known IP, and lack of much else in competition at the moment?

Volition will soon become part of Gearbox following a disappointing reception to its Saints Row reboot, Embracer Group has announced.
In a statement released alongside its second quarter earnings results, Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors explained that Volition will be switching operative groups from Plaion (formerly Koch Media) to Gearbox Entertainment.
“The reception of Saints Row did not meet the full expectations and left the fanbase partially polarized,” he said.
“The game development studio, Volition, has been working hard to improve the player experience.”

I have a lot of love for the old Saints Row franchise, but I don't quite understand you guys thinking this new one is even worth the time to play it. Let alone a monetary value.

I think they just didnt know where to go after 4. Seems like a logical choice as to why it took so long and in the end they thought a reboot would work well. Take the series back to its roots somehow. No clue how they messed it up but I thought the last Volition game Agency of Mayhem was already really vapid and mediocre, so I never had high hopes for this reboot.

How is people getting fed up with modern progressive thinking not legit criticism? Everything about what they've shown makes me think they'll beat me over the head with their lukewarm "progressive" takes.
Because Saint's Row has always punched up and made fun of whatever's trending when it came out. The lieutenants very much look like a tongue in cheek handling of wokeness and millennials to me... like, has SR ever played anything straight?
Not to mention outside of twitter "wokeness" isn't even a thing, and anyone who claims it is invariably turns out to either have fallen for right wing propaganda or have been told at some point in their life not to say the n word

Even Saints Row IV was kind of so-so and was just a reskin matrix map of SRIII.
It's weird in that II and III rocked and then it's like they had no budget and had to do these reskins instead of making a full new map, new story, new SR and then they finally do that with this reboot but it's too late and the franchise is dead by then.
Just odd given that SRIII seemed like a big success that they didn't take their time with SRIV and make a proper full fledged new game.

It started out as an expansion to SR3 and then they just decided to turn it into a full game because of how large it got, IIRC. I was bummed by the asset and map re-use, but it did feel like a different game since the play mechanics were changed up so much.
Played the patched version for about an hour, its less janky than i recall, but the game still is pretty rotten.
Its so fucking boring to play.
You play as one of four contestants. The Boss has already aced it, so it’s time to put some new skills and combat styles to the test. There’s a former cop out for justice, the rightful heir to the Panteros who’s jonesing to take over, a big game hunter after his biggest prey yet, and a Murder Circus superfan who somehow got added to the roster. Each contestant has their own “Rival” - an ultimate boss they will face when they max out their level to truly test their mettle in this battle for infamy.

I thought I might finally get it since it's priced right at under $20, but the user reviews largely indicate that the game is still a buggy mess and there's way too people saying it doesn't even work with controllers.:jeanluc
:nope
Its apparently coming to soy pass next month :doge
My advice would be not to waste precious hard drive space on it, you could have something way more worthwhile taking up that 50 odd gig.
I decided the get it. The question is...will it be even decent enough for $20 or will I be refunding it? Let's find out!Guess I'll be trying it out too next week. :aweshum

I don't pay attention to this side of things, but does SR2 on 360 run well with emulators? Could be a viable workaround.Xenia apparently emulates it well.
That aside, the game play seems OK and it still feels like a Saints Row game, but a lot of the dialogue and story are just bad.
They tried way, way too hard to appeal to a younger crowd and they really missed the mark. And now they're shuttered. The game doesn't really scream "woke" like some people made it out to be (at least so far), it's more like they just toned down a lot of the dumb, crude humor and replaced it with bland, boring story and characters instead.

They actually got rid of some of the worst dialogue with one of the DLC updates.

The PC version is fine too though, especially the GOG version which has the CPU limiter on by default. The PC version has been fine for over a decade as technology advanced past its issues, I have no clue why people have refused to play it. It wasn't even unplayable at the time, I had few issues with it personally and it's always had tons of options including more than the later games. Mike's patch was an upgrade with new content but it hasn't been necessary just to play the game normally.

This is kind of hilarious, but I guess counts as an improvement? :lol
"edgelords who chant “go woke, go broke” and stomped on the McDonald’s countertops when their Rick and Morty McNugget Sauce ran out had more to do with the failure than anything valid. "
The writing is probably just shit like most of their work post Saints Row 3
