I love how Volition literally rebooted the series and still managed to fumble a clean slate, completely ignoring what made them have to reboot Saints Row in the first place.
*Insert more spam here*
@. Actually stop ur cringe af why do you think people will watch it
Npc reply section 💀
was saints row ever good, i always remember going into the character creation, making a freak, and then getting bored really quickly cringing at the dialog, and that was back in the demo so i wasn't even paying for it,
They need to reboot this reboot and do a proper job. Or just remake 2
What I don’t understand is how a game like this actually passes game testing and people say “yup good game, this’ll sell”
Same mentality that we allowed before... "Just get it through the door, we fix it later"....we older gen players know precisely where it all went wrong.
You really think they do game testing?
one f-word: franchising. companies think a name of a product will somehow be engouh to make them money. happened with star wars, justice league and gears of war. and again all the care about is money, not product
@@hamchurger4566 yeah, all corporations just care about money, thats kind of like their main goal
@@Umbojug tbh i dont get how people say that stuff and not immediatelt think because money

"The kinder, gentler saints row is probably a step in the right direction" an actual critic.
This made me feel like gagging. Great job, whatever paid critic said that
I can’t believe what I just read. Jesus Christ.
💀
That's what you get when you let politics overtake art
Anyone who wants a kinder, gentler SR is not a SR fan. And why are we making games for people who are not fans while knowing full well we're alienating the fanbase that allowed us to make 4 games in the series over the span of one console cycle?
This game manages to displease both SR 1&2 players and SR 3&4 players simultaniously which is genuinely amazing they got both saints row generations to band together to shit on this game.
In an alternate world this was a marketing stunt where the old crew just guns down the hippie saints row in the beginning of the game. Would have been the greatest come back. Anyway hope the franchise takes a rest after this.
Kind of a shame really

@@weshi5735 idk Watch Dogs 2 and AC Syndicate were pretty lived in, obviously they weren't GTA or RDR but what is lol
There is a fine line between quirky fun and cringe. The OG Saint's Row worked because the main cast were a group of good friends but didn't hide that they are ABSOLUTE PSYCHOPATHS. The villains were also ABSOLUTE PSYCHOPATHS but they had friends and family.
There is tragedy and sadness in Saint's Row, but they were the result of consequences. As a result, the funny quirkiness worked in balance with how dark the games can get. In other words, the main cast were capital G Gangsters and lived a life of crime.
Can you say the same for this cast? Where they literally sip wine, talk about capitalism and student loans? Saint's Row 2 had missions where you'd literally throw shit everywhere, and that game had a more nuanced and in-depth criticism of Capitalism than this game.
That is the most accurate saints row can be described
Exactly, people that say "Saints row never had a story" are full of shit, 1 and 2 have pretty basic but pretty grounded stories with enough dark humor and actual dark and depressing tones all wrapped with actual smart criticism towards capitalism and gang culture.
not only that but the cast werent one note, Gat, was a crazy rambo killer, but he knew when to push and when not to, he also spoke with his gf giving him a reasonable loving person side, Gat was the guy who was crazy to storm the battlefront with a supersoaker, but smart enough to take cover and plan the attack first. the reason why gat is loved is cause hes crazy and smart giving reason why he can surivive such a world for so long, the key reason for him being loved is that he had a no f's given attitude, one of his best scenes is him on trial and he just calmly tells the judge to F off. you cant say you didnt like him cause he was competant
I'm convinced the people who like this game aren't real people
@@jorgeloredo100 SR1, tackles crime, how a normal citizen gets affected by crime, joins a gang and goes from passive to actively taking down gangs, to bring peace into the streets, SR2 story is that cops/corpos, were using the saints to get rid of the gangs to allow themselves to control of the citizens, that the new gangs are used by corpos and are immune from the laws due to cops making them the neccessary evil. where SR1 was saying how crime can affect society and ppl will join gangs to bring peace or revenge, SR2 was about how higher powers politics and business can control streets indirectly. the story was great, its in 3 that it turns out the world is full of criminal empires like in 2, and saints go against one, so it just seemed like cash grab and not really pushing the story just trying to make a game and sell, 4 just went wacky af and while gameplay mechanics is the most fun its also the lowest note in story for the SR
The writing was done by terminally online Twitter users.
Let's be frank: did any of us really think the game was going to be spectacular from the very first trailer?
Yeah, definitely no. They tried the Watchdogs 2 hip and happening vibe and killed interest from everyone with a "How do you do fellow kids"
Nope, just thought it’d be a 7 and at least be alright but turns out to be a 4 instead and be the most barebones saints row ever
I at least thought the game was gonna play a bit differently, since the visuals in the trailer were a departure from the style of the past games. Lo and behold when I see gameplay that's not only running on the same engine, but with literally cut and pasted animations from the older games too. Why even reboot the series if you're just gonna do the same thing, but worse?
@@sketchywest1176 I Hadn't even thought of that.... shit your right, wtf?
Especially from the first gameplay trailer I could tell it was made with little effort and low resources.
The writing of this game seems to be written by people who give standing ovation to a tv commercial .

@@wrldren Yeah, but at least the past ones were way better than this pile of crap.

@@DatMasterHunts That’s fair
@@zengoku4518 Right. I have both a love for both SR2 and SR3. They are really different in terms of tone, but at least they were fun to play.
For Saints Row 1 and 2 fans, I understand your issues with 3 or 4. Especially 4. I played those though, and 3 and 4 were still fun.
This, this is crazy.
I couldn’t agree with you more, respect homie.
2 was the peak of the series for me. But man 3 is a masterpiece compared to this.
the map is like if the desert at the start of cyberpunk 2077 was the whole game
1 and 2 are always going to be my favorites but 3 and 4 had their good moments and were still saints row and goofy fun. this was just complete dog shit
3 was cool and 4 was just loads of fun after fully accepting they weren't going back to the street gang aspect I was able to really enjoy 4 especially especially with mods lol
It’s actually unreal that you’re better off buying a random game that was made 30 years ago than you are buying a random game that’s made today.
Not only that, but you could buy several random old games for the price of one modern random game, and even more if you wait for sales, im done with modern gaming, im playing my backlog and indies while the industry crashes for good
It's not unreal, it just means there's more games today, and with a similar chance of a "good game" happening, more games means you can find more you don't like than you did years ago.
You were also more likely to know the fewer games that came out at the times, so they didn't feel "random".
@@juicejooos It takes forever to make games now. Games were being pumped out constantly back then by companies people had never heard of before, it wasn’t “random”, it was random. The odds are skewed entirely in favor of games today. Yet… they still suck.

@@kryptico2240 Games are still being released regularly by "unknown" devs, we just like to call them indie.

Feels great, innit. Nothing is sacred anymore. Even Max Payne is getting a fucking remake.
Everything woke turns to shit. Now we have Saints Woke.
Yeah, the only good remakes of games have been Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal.
i loved the part at the end of the game where the main character got in a boat with his friends and said, "Saints! Get to Rowing!".
this truly was one of the games of all time.

I really like how the recommended GPU for this game is the 3080Ti, according to steam. And it looks only as good as Overwatch. It really tells you something about the studio's priorities.
I had to look it up because I didn't believe you. You're right. Even the official saints row site recommends the $1000 gpu to play on ultra.
overwatch looks far better than this game lol
@@Rotbeam99 yeah I didn't wanna spell it out but you're right. It's partially due to Overwatch having an inspired art style
@@SuperGorak 100, like critikal says art direction trumps graphics everytim
A fucking 3080ti? Have they no shame? Jesus Christ.
The developers literally had step by step instructions on how to make a new saints row game from over a decade of feedback from the fans, and they somehow made the worst. Is it narcissism on the part of the developers thinking the fans are stupid and don't know what they're talking about, or just incompetence, or malice?
my guess is the director didnt gaf and wanted to make the game similar to the older ones for the same vibe.. but for some reason without improving on it. the beginning of the game was bad in a fun way in the beginning, but then you kinda realize that this game is actually dogshit 😂😂
I mean, in all fairness as a developer you don't want to just do everything your players tell you to do. But from what little I read, the developers seemed totally full of themselves and completely delusional. Judging from the state of the game, I'd also say incompetence played a key role as well.
Never listen to fans. Fans have no idea what they're looking for. The issue is the developers have no passion or care. The developers themselves should be the biggest fan of the product, that's why this has no soul, nobody cared what they're making
@@reservoirfrogs2177 fans literally had bullet point lists of what they were looking for.
For starters, if you want a crime game the characters have to be criminals, not people that got picked on in school and act like manchildren with no tough or imposing qualities
This is how every industry makes their product. They don't give a shit about the customer's input and will make a game that "they like." I guarantee you, GTA 6 will be the same.
I literally came back to rewatch this because Volition studios is officially shutting down today
Same
Genuinely amazing how they discarded their fans that stuck with the game through the beginning and even when it made a drastic change with SR3 and SR4 for a bunch of people who don't even care about their game in the firstplace. Bravo.
Yeah, they told us we weren’t wanted anymore. People like me have been there literally since launch day of the very first game. They felt if they went with the woke Twitter crowd instead of longtime and loyal customers, they would hit a home run. They get what they deserve and I won’t be sad if they get shut down (like they almost did with that piece of crap, Agents of Mayhem).
@@corvega_joe when will developers learn that appeasement to the Twitter monkeys will never work since those folk are never happy in their own lives.
This is far from the first time something like this has happened with a once-beloved franchise, and it certainly won't be the last.
@@corvega_joe like what about the woke Twitter crowd bullshit?
Just curious cause I haven't played it really so I was wondering what stuff you're talking about? Also isn't this a remake? So wouldn't this be from the original game years ago?

They got Saints Row, one of the wildest stories in any series, with insane over the top characters and lowbrow over the top comedy, and gave them to a team of hipster college students.
It's all that needs to be said.
I loved Saints Row 3, it was a very fun sandbox game to play for a while between games without having to spend a lot of time thinking, and, the best I can hope for this game, is that maybe, one day, Saints Row will go back to that formula, be good, and make fun of this piece of digital trash.
What they don't get is that the series was founded on a fundamental. Telling a gripping story with cinema-worthy writing and directing, while giving the players the offerings and freedom to do more absurd things outside of the storytelling.
Things started to take a turn when they decided that blending some of the absurdity to buff-up story plots and sequences was the way to evolve the series. 3 still told a decent story, but was executed in bombastic ways that felt like they belonged outside of it.
4 went south as a Saints Row. There was some series closure in the (sprinkled) main story missions, but the overall plot just murders the fundamental storytelling.
Now we have... what can only be described as something Shaundi Pierce and Gat would be watching on TV until Gat had enough and shot the TV.
Are we forgetting that in 2006 they released a fast and the furious wannabe simulator? This is no different.
You liked SR3? the game that had the worst city? hoo boy that revisionism is strong.
I really hate that a lot of companies are going in the direction of giving enemies health bars, even when it's completely unnecessary.
This is a perfect example of “when you let Ai make a game” because no human could produce this trash.
I dunno, Volition's got form. Saints Row 1 launched broken, Agents of Mayhem had boring, boring mission design and they've never been able to make good DLC.
There are plenty of people who would make this trash because they are massively untalented hacks given their position because of nepotism or some idiotic rhetoric rather than skill

This was Volition's chance to shine. The perfect time for them to give us a new urban open world. GTA 6 is still far off. Many people (including me) are worried about its direction. This reboot could've sealed the deal for SR to get back into the fight and be a strong rival against GTA. If they had hit this out of the park, this franchise would've gone strong even into the future.
Instead we got this. And as a big fan of SR to the point of jokingly saying I'm "representing" with a friend whenever we wear anything purple in other games or even in real life, I am absolutely disappointed. I don't see the Saints coming back from this one. Maybe as a mobile game or a skin in Fortnite, who tf knows.
I despise this game with an unbelievable passion, they could’ve made a game that re-defined a genre that has grown stagnant and instead ruined literally everything from the original series instead of even trying to make improvements. This series is unfortunately dead in the mud and it’s sad that it’s the truth. If they just took a look at other series such as the Yakuza series to learn how to balance seriousness with craziness alongside taking the core gameplay of older SR games and expanding upon that alone and we would’ve had an amazing reboot. Alas, this isn’t the case and never will be. SR4 was the last decent SR with the last great being SR3. Such a waste of a great series.
this broke my heart. I also say i'm reppping when I wear purple. SR is why it's my favourite colour. I grew up with fun whacky gmeplay where my OC makes goofy one liners and roasts the shit outta people. I miss SR so much. I hate knowing this is the end of the only true GTA competition.
I guess we’ll have to do with Pierce doing cameos in other games…

There was never a "golden age" of gaming. That is just pure nostalgia speaking. Bad video games have always existed but oh no, a bad new release and all of a sudden it's the "end of gaming". Also, you really choose SR3 and 4 as examples? You realize those games are divisive in the SR community, right? Many OG fans hate those games.

"Vision trumps graphical fidelity."
Fucking thank you. Some of my favorite games of all times are either outdated graphically by now or look like absolute ass by intention.
Outdated graphically is not the same as bad graphics. For instance, Shadow of the Colossus is outdated by being a PS2 game, but it still looks good and miles better than a new Pokémon game, because they made the most of the limitations
@@aceman0000099 Yeah but some kids these days can't be asked to play games like that because "it looks so bad".
Meanwhile I'm over here playing Cruelty Squad being like, "...What's your point, ya spoiled brat?"
@Pulsar *deep inhale* Okay I'm gonna put my biases in check for a moment (I do not like modern war shooters for various reasons) to point out that you appear to have missed the point of the statement.
"Vision *trumps* graphical fidelity". At no point did I say "graphical fidelity does not enhance the presentation of a vision".
Your Battlefield game could have looked like complete ass and still have been one of the best in the series on the merits of its gameplay and sound design alone. I am not saying that good graphics cannot enhance an already enjoyable experience. I AM saying that if a person cannot enjoy solidly built gameplay because the graphics were not the best that could be provided or made in the HD era of gaming than, yes, that person is a spoiled brat and I will die on this hill. Not every game is made by a major studio that can carve their game from the shaved gold dust of God's holy throne, and if they can and still remember that they have to make an actual GAME than that's all the better for the experience, obviously.
I would be hard pressed however to think of a game with good core gameplay mechanics that becomes unplayable due to a visual element of the game. I'm sure I could think of one given time, such as something that overuses bloom and lighting mechanics, or failing to use visual cues properly, but that again falls more into the category of "vision" and subsequent failure of said vision than it does "graphical fidelity". Off the top of my head there's only one hypothetical example of how poor visuals would ruin a gameplay experience with good core mechanics to me, and that would be if the visuals in question are so chunky and muddled that reading what the player is supposed to react to becomes nigh impossible. Alternatively, expecting the player to react to too much visual input which isn't diverse enough to be discernable.
Daikatana may be a good example. Even Daikatana has redeeming factors I'm willing to appreciate despite the models looking like jagged play-doh, and the fact that the first several levels of the game are such a visual mess all I remember is brown and bright bloody green. What ruins that game is the fact that 3/4 of the game is a glorified escort quest written by a man with too much vision, ironically. Limitations of both gameplay AND graphics can be overcome by vision, so long as there is a unified goal to the presentation of the experience. People will feel that love and dedication, and try to fix what they can for years to come. What limited that game was not the ugly graphics but rather the overreliance on an ally AI that simply wasn't possible to program at the time, meanwhile the player movement and gun mechanics were actually solid because they were made by a bunch of the people responsible for Doom and Quake. This is why one of the most infamous games in gaming history still has a dedicated deathmatch community. When the vision of a thing fails however, the entire project goes down with it, regardless of the redeeming qualities therein.
Lower the resolution and poly count of a good game and it's still a good game that looks slightly worse. Raise the resolution and poly count on a bad game and it is still shit. If you can actually have your cake and eat it too, good for you, but that doesn't mean a game that looks bad cannot still be leagues better than a game that looks good. I'm gonna take this a step further and say vision can trump programming limitations as well, as long as there is genuine love put into the project and vision is willing to meet practicality halfway.
You can like good graphics all you want, but not being able to enjoy something without them does, in fact, make you spoiled. Not every good game is high profile enough that it is reasonable to request the developers remaster it visually for the modern age, and as the Resident Evil Remake series has proven it is updates to core gameplay mechanics that go significantly further in re-achieving the original vision in the modern day. REmake 1 was nice visually, while REmake 2 fantastically transfers a good story into mechanical gameplay that is genuinely more suspenseful than anything the PS2 era could have achieved. That has nothing to do with how good the game looks. Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed is coming out in a few days, and the first Destroy All Humans: Reprobed put significant effort into smoothing out the mechanics for the modern day and providing a few quality of life improvements, because they knew just tarting it up and making it look good wouldn't be enough. The gameplay quality must meet or exceed the quality of the visuals or the visuals do not matter.
Tl;dr "It looks bad" is not a valid excuse when "it feels good".
@Pulsar I literally had to look up what "gatekeeping" is to make sure it meant what the word sounded like it meant since the context in which you are using it doesn't imply what it sounds like. I don't think that word means what you think it means, because I fail to see how I'm limiting or controlling access to anything. Unless you somehow interpreted me wanting people to appreciate substance over style as me trying to tell people what they are and are not allowed to spend their money on, which would frankly be reaching for a reason to insult me.
I also now greatly resent you for insisting on continuing to use fucking Battlefield as an example when I made it clear I do not like this style of game in the first place. In fact it is my most hated genre of video games and the very reason WHY I decry the importance of a focus on graphics, but okay FINE since you insist.
Guns in later installments feel lazier, even too easy to use at ranges they shouldn't be applicable in balanced gameplay. They also removed the ability to shoot holes in doors which makes camping in houses easier to foil without countersniping or explosives. Additionally trench warfare will always lend well to a competitive shooter setting since it provides solid cover that can easily be foiled by a grenade. Speaking of, I appreciate BF1 taking the time to program actual craters in the ground from explosives which is strangely lacking from later installments. It also seems as though attention to detail was sacrificed in V as by all accounts there is less dedication to accuracy to the setting, and 2042 is nonsense that takes place in a hypothetical future so I'm not even touching that. I will observe that futuristic gadgets feels like the Assassin's Creed issue of adding in too many ways to kill a person that no one asked for. The colors also feel washed out at this point, and both games seem to have sacrificed something or another for the sake of following the battle royale trend. I'm not a multiplayer person however, so I'd rather address the story. A primary reason why I am adverse to these types of games it due to the romanticizing of warfare, and BF1's story is largely described as "dark" as apposed to "cool" which I take as a good thing.
So BF1 is also regarded by fans (at least in comments I'm seeing) as better mechanically because of an emphasis on balance without adding superfluous details/options which do not enhance an experience, and the better graphics are a bonus that only serves to enhance an already solid experience. Not to mention a more grounded campaign. So, none of what you said disproves what I said about how BF1 would still be regarded well if it had lower texture quality and poly counts, unless you want to actually elaborate on how the later games are mechanically superior in your own words instead of pointing me to someone else's opinion.
I also find it a very interesting decision that you would direct me to the review of a game by someone who actually seems to *share* my mentality regarding these things, that being that sometimes popular things are only popular because people aren't cultured enough to know better and simply eat the fanciest looking thing put on their plate. He's not salty about it like I am, but the popularity of Red Dead 2 only seems to add credence to my calling people who only want to enjoy things that look good "spoiled brats". You even blatantly admit that most reviews agree with the sentiment that Red Dead 2 is a shallow experience not worthy of the praise it gets from the general public, and you think this is proving your point that graphics are worth fan dedication? You and the general public can be entitled to your opinions, but sometimes your opinion is objectively wrong and you just don't want to hear it. That's the same reason people got mad at Charlie here for saying this game here looked like shit upon the gameplay trailer, cause they saw something shiny on their plate they wanted to eat it up like good unquestioning dogs. In this particular instance though the icing on the cake isn't distracting enough to ignore how little substance is in this Saints Reboot.
I guess taste doesn't matter in the face of broad appeal though. That buffet for the eyes is all most people care about, which is why it's so great that the vast majority of major game releases focus on giving us as little of the actually interactable and dynamic game experience as possible and instead focus on "look at how cool this thing is, now give us your money". It's this kind of mentality that is the reason why unique and interesting ideas never make it to the AAA market anymore, and all we get out of major publishers is the same tripe wheeled out year to year with a different, shinier paintjob, which demands more and more crunch time from poor developers who just want to go home, have dinner, and sleep for once.
Tl;dr You are simply part of the problem as to why the major gaming market has been suffering from lack of diversity and creativity, and so many people being a defender for shallow games that look good is why the Saints Reboot is allowed to exist in the first place.
8:52 lol man you really got me here haha that happened to me , i have played almost every saints row game and i really and honesty enjoyed it the silliness and over the top action and power you had but you are 100% right they went backwards with this game i only could handle it for about 2 hrs and i had to stop my self from playing it .
its crazy how the first saints row that came out in 2006 has a better map then the rebboot

I swear saints Row should've taken place after 4 where the saints go back in time to somewhere between 2 and 3 and then create a new timeline as a soft reboot. They could've been so self aware and made so many jokes about it
They could've created a narrative where the saints are causing chaos and having fun throughout time then the boss realizing the saints were too over the top and have gone astray from thier origins and used the time machine to create a new alternative time line as a soft reboot and return back to a style closer to 2 or at least one that wasn't as over the top as 3.
That would have been fun though and we can't have that.
@@OtakuWrath yeah like I could already imagine a montage st the beginning of them joy riding across time, and the boss deciding they're gone too far from thier origins and the saints taking out the threats that would appear later in 3 and 4. Then finally the game taking place between 2 and 3 where the boss is the only one who remembers or know the events of 3 and 4. They could've made it self aware as hell while also going back to a place where they can tone down the craziness that came with 3 and 4
i had the same thought. An alternate saints row 3 where they didnt become corporate shills that sell energy drinks.
@@NidokingOtsutsuki I only played 3 and 4 and I've heard people saying they liked 2 since later games were too over the top. I would've loved to experience what everyone was talking about. And I felt like the time machine at the end of 4 was the perfect way to soft reboot the series. They could've done a montage that started off over the top but then also be self aware of how over the top they have become and the boss wanting to return to how the saints were before, and boom time machine for soft reboot

Saints Row 1 & 2 were great. I really, really loved 2 and played and replayed it many times. Then when Saints Row 3 came out I played it but it wasn’t as good. I’m honestly shocked they’re still making them. I had no idea this game came out.
As a kid I loved playing Saints Row games. The amount of hours I’ve put into the Saints Row franchise is actually concerning. Mainly Saints Row 2 because that game is a literal masterpiece. So when I heard a new Saints Row came out guess what I did? I pre ordered the game about a month before release. I even put the custom Saints Row background on my PS4 because I was so excited to feel that rush of joy and happiness I felt as a kid while playing Saints Row. Then. The game comes out. Before I play it I look at the reviews on UA-cam and other platforms. Everyone was saying it was the worst game they’ve ever played, that it was so boring they’d rather shove their dick in a toaster. I didn’t believe them. I thought “No way. You can’t mess up Saints Row” (aside from Gat out of hell)….. and then. I played it. And oh my god the sadness and anger I felt seeing what my favorite franchise as a kid had come to. I couldn’t play for more than 2 hours. I uninstalled the game before the day even ended. This game is so bad I’d rather get punched in the face by Mike Tyson than play this game from beginning to end. Thank you this was my TED Talk.
I loved SR3 and 4, I know SR4 is still a buggy mess today (my items and everything always disappear when visiting the portal door), but the gameplay is so fun. Love the superpowers!
SR 2 is good too.
Saints Row 4 is awesome in my opinion. It wasn’t afraid to get a bit weird even for Saints Row standards and they really let you feel overpowered. The game is a blast and that’s all it needs to be.
The powers is what killed the series for me.
It made vehicles and even some weapons useless.

I watched the last video you made on this and genuinely thought that it was a bit of gameplay from a previous entry that came out earlier than 4. I couldnt see any kinda of hint that it was a new game and hearing that it had in fact come out recently hit as a bit of a surprise. You said it like it is mentioning that it seems like something that wouldve been on the 360.
It's been said countless times already, but the release of this game has solidified it: SR2 is the absolute peak of Volition, and I don't see them ever getting close to it again, let alone matching it. Sad to say, sad to realize, but that's where we are.
It's mind-blowing that Volition is the same studio that made Saints Row 2 and Red Faction Guerrilla...
Saints Row 3 wasn't even bad, just should've been a different series... and 4.. well... yeah no, I'm not defending that but hell, I'm surprised to say I've got a game that makes Gat out of Hell and Duke Nukem Forever look good

But the game had personality from the cribs and personalization to the fighting styles (why don't more games let you choose how you fight anymore) and the villains of the game and even one of side characters were extremely fleshed out and perfectly executed.

@@GeorgeFloyd-iw8vn being absolutely OP was pretty fun
Right? This is what Saints Row had over Grand Theft Auto: the true freedom to be totally unapologetic and truly satirical in its references to popular culture and the state of the world during its time. It was always a satirical parody of the times, not ever a "gangster simulation". Even GTA comes nowhere close to being a gangster sim. For those who expected it to be, you have Mafia and The Godfather to experience true organised crime in all of its video game glory.
The reboot is satirical, absolutely, and it does make fun little jokes when it's being self-aware. However, it's too safe. Saints Row is no longer unapologetic (they abbreviated Freckle Bitch's diner and renamed Rim Jobs to Jim Rob's, like bruh) which is where Volition lost me.

sounds like you need to expand your game preferences. not being sarcastic. Seriously. i had to do the same to finally enjoy good games made with passion.
When I tried the character creator demo I immediately knew it would be bad and my expectations were very low. Turns out they were not low enough.
The Yakuza and Judgement series especially the latest ones are absolutely amazing.
You probably don't like games, look for another hobby.
It blows my mind that it is easier to make games than ever before since there are so many resources you can use but AAA million dollar companies are still consistently churning out shitty games. I remember back when games were actually finished when they came out and they were consistently good. At what point in time did almost the whole industry seemingly agree to make it look like creating an actual good game was an impossible task. Games are important to me and the decline in the industry genuinely makes me sad.
It’s because these days they aren’t just trying to make fun goofy games. They are trying to have a “message”. They wanna “critique capitalism” and talk about pop feminism. When did gaming industry get taken over by duechy hipsters?
@@Re-Todd_Howard even if that was the case how would that stop them from making good gameplay
@@lilbltxh it’s stoping them because it’s making them out of touch with what the average kid actually finds fun. There is only a limited amount of development time and they spent it on all the wrong stuff, clearly.

@@Re-Todd_Howard the cancel culture shit is so exaggerated if gta 6 has a gimp suit no one will cancel it for having a gimp suit but that’s beside the point i was trying to make, mortal kombat X for example had a horrible story but the gameplay was fun so people liked it. good writing can help a game a lot but bad writing doesn’t cause gameplay to be bad
@@lilbltxh I'm not 100% on they're reasoning here, but I will say that a bad story can make good gameplay not seem worth it to play. I've had a few games where i actually enjoyed the gameplay, but the story completely took me out of the world and caused me to stop playing. Off the top of my head Lost Ark, and Borderlands 3. Both made me give up purely because i just couldn't get into the story or world no matter how much i wanted to, and i'd definitely say that borderlands 3 had many improvements in gameplay compared to 2 and i still enjoy going back to 2 just because the world is more enjoyable.
Today 80% of games studios dont need to exist.

I truly feel like with all of these absolute blunders AAA companies keep throwing out, this is a very, very good time for a strong Indie dev company, or even just a small indie dev team, to heavily disrupt the AAA market.
I doubt it will ever fully pan out that way though, the moment an indie company comes out with a killer game that gravitates them to the top of the industry and in a position to influence it, a AAA company buys them out and either ruins them or keeps them successful but nowhere near as influential as they could have been.
Just look at Mojang, the moment Minecraft proved itself to have staying power they were bought by Microsoft and now they are JUST the Minecraft devs, they were never allowed to influence the industry in some meaningful way beyond inspiring a few good games (and legions of terrible copycats)
It’s crazy how they made the first two games, as well as 3, and then every subsequent release from Volition has gotten worse and worse over the years. Saints Row 1 2 and 3 all had more going on in their cities. How did they not innovate on one thing? Everything seems like a downgrade from everything that came before it.
3 was where everything went downhill. They completely lost the soul at that point.
I always loved Saints Row for it's unique, cool, and funny weapons.
The Dildo Bat, The airstrike, the one weapon in 4 that literally goes up the enemies ass and turns them into a nyan cat firework.
I also loved how fleshed out the character creator was for a game back then.

I don't like it when people say the gameplay feels dated. It's not dated, if it was dated it would be fun. The gameplay is trash, it tries to reinvent the wheel at every corner and fails miserably, if they had copy-pasted the combat from SR4 or even SR3 then it would be a lot more bearable to play, if nothing else.

So the whole game is basically those couple types of missions that were side missions in 3? Even in 3 things were starting to go downhill and there was still some variety to the main campaign. It's like they looked at 3 and 4 and made the reboot out of the wrong parts of them
Saints Row 2 was the peak of this franchise. Such a great game with a memorable soundtrack but the rest have paled in comparison.
false. the third was amazing.
Yeah, I don't quite get the reverence for Saints Row 2. It was good but it was ostensibly doing San Andreas because GTA IV was such a buttoned up experience. Fine for the time but The Third will be talked about for decades.
Third was the best one imo
Whichever (that's probably not a real word is it) game had superpowers and had you kill aliens was really cool. That one and 2.
