  • The Saints Row reboot has released, and to nobody's surprise, it's bad. But not just the normal kind of bad. It's inoffensive, bland, boring, corporate crap. Absolutely awful in every way.

      I didn't hate 3's gameplay, but I seriously couldn't care less about the story in that game. They could've tackled plot points that the second game had left perfectly lined up, like Dex betraying the Saints and joining Ultor... but instead they wanted you to, I dunno, fight some wrestlers and become a toilet with a gun instead. It was the beginning of the end for this franchise.

      @@SirCaco That's the thing, there was supposed to be another game in-between 2 and 3. Old Volition employees talked about in an interview some time around when 4 came out. Among the things they mentioned, it was actually going to cover the sell-out of the Saints to Ultor, and was actually going to cover the changes in the characters (like Shaundi quitting the drugs and even getting breast implants for her TV career). Thing was it was being developed alongside what would become 3, and it got cancelled because Activision stepped in and basically went "The fuck are you idiots doing making two games at once?" And 3 was the one they decided to go all-in on in that case.
      And it also shows in the audio logs you find in SR4 that they do finally address a lot of the plot holes created by skipping the plot of the cancelled game.

    I knew his was going to be bad, even as a Saints Row fan. It isn’t prophecy.
    The simple fact is that the Saints Row of the 2000s leaned on edgy humor, violence, and well, offending people. Those kinds of games simply can’t be made today. The change from Freckle Bitches to F.B. Is a perfect example. The developers are so scared of having an “offensive” moment that the characters, jokes, and plots are lifeless and flat. The only thing it is acceptable to show is violence, so they tune it up to the stratosphere. You have this hilariously stupid situation where it’s perfectly okay to beat a woman to death in the most gruesome way possible, but suggesting you did it because she wouldn’t make you a sandwich is a bridge too far. Give me a break.
    What developers don’t seem to get is that most players are very forgiving. You can launch with janky gunplay, vehicles, some bugs and glitches, etc. People will complain, but you can fix it, and have the time to fix it IF the game has a compelling story and gameplay loop. But the devs just as so scared to violate the modern strictures that they just are completely tame.
    GTA will have the same problem.

TES Oblivion tier character creator abominations. The worst Gen Z writing I've ever seen in a video game which perfectly sums up how cringe that generation is. Saints that look like kids who got shoved into lockers during high school. Supposed gang members committing crimes to pay off student loans and who whine about capitalism. And the bugs.

I grew up in the inner city around a bunch of gangs, so that first story about a young broke kid becoming the boss of a criminal organization really stuck with me.

    It's no surprise that the game uses the same cringe inducing reptilian dialogue that infects every product coming out of Hollywood recently.
    The story would have worked if all your friends get killed by the real gangsters because your friends were weak children. That could be used to motivate your character to become a real hardened gangster to get revenge. Running drugs, robbing banks to get cash to buy guns and pay gang members. And by the time you finished the game you realize that your friends were worthless people and you and the world are better off without them. BOOM suddenly you have a better story instead of spending 100% of the story complaining about college loans and rent.

      3 was parodying the over-the-top direction they took in 2; 4 parodied 3; and what I will simply call 5 parodied 4. The gameplay was still good, the humor was there, but the writing did sort of go off the rails, because the whole point WAS to be ridiculous and self-mocking. But that's the thing; the only reason more games were made was because they ratcheted everything up to absurd levels. The basic story of being a criminal gang in Stillwater, and that's it, had definitely run it's course by the end of 2.

      @@armplanet7524 not really.
      Only ridiculous things in the original 2 are the playa's jokes in 1/gags like FBs and RJs (which this game took out)
      2 which had an alien ship, certain Easter eggs for fun like GTA and jokes which where serious in nature but funny. For example Johnny's banter with Aisha was always over killing people or bodies on the ground, blood, the fact he always commiting a crime etc
      The entire story was 100% serious.
      The third turned whacky but it still somewhat grounded they just turned everything they had and made it bombastic.
      -mexicans turned into wrestlers
      -EDM era turned into a gang
      -The doctor's mini games which was always a nice touch.
      -stag (ultor) and the zombies now ain't a mini game but a mission
      -certain weapons.
      Etc, but it was still funny and had it's moments
      4 was just fun, not the saints row game I loved but fun, same with GatOutOfHell Just mindless fun
      "I'm gonna shoot the devil in the face"
      They did the same for this new saints but completely bleached anything funny that the third provided and just kept the rest, tried to make it serious but the dialog is bad/ the reasoning for them starting a gang is dumb. People wanted saints Row 1-2 back not 3 rebooted into an unfunny pile of garbage.
      Half of the world if not most of the people who grew up in the struggle playing the saints can't relate to this game anymore, this is why San Andreas is so beloved and why saints row had it's cult fanbase.
      The game starts at a low and only gets lower.

Never has a franchise been so disrespected by its' own creators so much that they had to shut down after long years of hiatus. Old fans won't miss you and new "fans" didn't support the new game either. It was marketed for an audience that hate games and gamers, or fun entertainment in general, and still complained when not their audience played it.
