      Nobody is overlooking how stupid the game's plot is. As someone who really liked SR1-2 for its story and its well done understanding of the politics in the story, I am well aware of how unbelievably ignorant, and generally stupid the reboot's plot is. This game is about people who live in condos thinking not having a top price waffle maker is a struggle. Turning Saints Row into Friends is right. Like what crime drama even out today would have a plot and characters like this?. The game feels like just a mashup of tweets that they told each other, and wrote out for their plot or something.
      Like their writer and director can tell you they didn't know what they were doing without telling us they didn't know what they were doing. The plot isnt even bad for its genre, it doesn't make a lick of sense for whatever it was about let alone it being a poor representation of gangsters, even if they were deconstructive. Gangsters come from poverty, but this game isnt about that. There is no way it could have been that hard to just research shit instead of just trying to appeal to journalists and twitter.

      And it goes from 'I can pitch in twenty!' to 'Lets go rob a store!' in the span of about a minute. At this point in time at least two of you have reputable jobs and the store is a block from your house, no one wears masks and you literally murder the police who come after you. The game has no sense of pacing at all.

    I had a good laugh last night when I went to see how people were reacting to Volition merging with Gearbox and saw that they had released a major patch for the game just hours prior. I laughed because literally every comment I read was either "they didn't fix X or Y" or "Z is now even worse after this patch." The most significant example was the aiming; I dropped the game before finishing it because of how fucking awful the aiming acceleration was, and apparently now it's even worse. I don't know how that's possible but I have no desire to reinstall the game and find out.

      That as the funniest shit I read too. They were like "we went hard on this one. Bright future" and the game is still shit. Now some people saying all the NPCs are gone from their game. Delayed for 6 months and changed nothing, game is still a mess on release, 200 patches now post release, and its still busted. Where did they seriously find these programmers? Or were their priorities just way too absorbed in their stupid marketing, or thought their younger fans would just care about the customization? Like this reboot way too much money into optics, messaging and trying to shutdown feedback than actual work into it being a good game. Even non fans think its mediocre.

While it is possible for it to return, since this game sold poorly it’s not going to happen anytime soon.
