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

I did see some hilarious bugs lol

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.   :lol

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
It'll probably get a second wind with a patch and a price cut for the holiday season.

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 morning
On 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. No matter how many purple dildos he buys.

By "skit" I meant he seriously went to the VGA and demanded Keighley accept his challenge and the Dorito Pope BTFO out of him then just left:

I honestly don't even want it for free. It looks like a disgrace to the franchise.

It basically put the noose around the neck of one of my favourite franchises. After laughing at it for being right about it in the first place, I now just feel a profound sadness.

Big November update incoming...
Quote
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.

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?

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.

Technically they just say they’re planning to support it, it doesn’t mean they will actually do it. We all plan to do lots of things that never happen.

Also one million sales for a game of this size and type is fucking awful these days.

Saints Row 2 was fantastic once they fixed the netcode, on a game that was online-only co-op focused.

I am going to buy this whenever they get around to fixing the broken stuff. If it's cheaper by then, awesome.

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.”

Realistic status of the Saints Row 2 PC patch...

This is all because you all didn't keep clapping and weren't clapping hard enough. Instead you all spent your time lamenting "woke" social studies warriors because a game dared enough to put a diverse cast facing real world problems front and center. And now instead of supporting their developers we have the fascist collaborators at Embracer Group throwing them under the bus for receiving hate from racists.

I guess we need to add Saints Row to the massive list of victims of Gamergate.

A cynic might say The Borg Embracer Group picked up a once valuable IP fairly cheap, got all the currently available money from porting the existing work to every platform available, then threw a bare bones intern project together to test the waters for its ongoing viability, funded almost entirely by an EGSclusivity deal moneyhat, before deciding if it was worth keeping, or reselling for what they paid for it after its been milked dry.

Embracer is different from most other borgs.

They mostly let the studios to their own devices a bit like what Nintendo used to do in the N64 era with third party exclusives.
Overall they provide the financial stability a studio needs to bridge the gap from one game to the next and they share resources.

What a lot of these studios underestimate is how much talent they lost over the years. In most cases management thinks they can easily develop an open world game for example because they've done it before.
However they don't realize they've lost their most experienced developers (or promoted them to management roles) and the folks actually developing the game are mostly juniors working on their first large scale project.
Also there's a lot of artists out there but very few game designers. So they mostly stick to old formulas and ideas they can copy from previous work or other games.

It's very hard for studios to retain talent especially now that most developers want to WFH. You simply move to whatever pays more.
While before people were excited to work on Metroid they're now excited to get a $100k sign-on bonus to work on DLC for Fortnite.

Good old sunk cost fallacy. Was an explanation given about why they stopped after SR4? I thought it was pretty popular and sold well. It didn’t seem to need a reboot.
