but i'd have to play it to know. nice try you trickster.

Youtube guy liked the game so I like it

you're not getting a (you), frick (you).
baiting homosexual.
a reddit thread I read said so
pathetic
we hate minorities read the memo
Thanks for reminding me, I almost forgot
what memo
The one the journalist shills always write when the reviews for the billion dollar companies latest product are bad.
the one that says Black person on it 6000 times
you forgot women
love from kazakhstan
bump
yeah, you hate white people who are a world wide minority
Graphics are pathetic compared to any AAA game released in recent years
Characters are unfunny, unlikable and awkward
Humor is what you'd expect from kid's show
Violence was heavily censored compared to other saints row
The love shack song
Physics and combat are a huge downgrade from previous games
The love shack song
>The love shack song
are you implying this song is bad
what the frick man
Why did the music cut out?
Why is it 10 fps at times?
Why make the player sit through this?
Is this an early build?
pretty sure the 10fps thing is from the video maker.
I liked this part actually, they mention the karaoke at the start of the game
Good
don't forget the game is glitchy as hell.
it looks like woke garbage. it looks like woke garbage dude
it's based not woke
based in woke garbage you mean right? its like a troony did a shit on the game or something.
>woke garbage
I'm starting to really tired of people saying this. Both things are the same and sound so redundant.
It's like saying it's crap shit.
Being woke is just the black version of being red pilled
No, frick off you fifty cent army piece of shit.
No, he's right. Being 'woke' is Black folk acting for their own interests, like how being redpilled is whites acting in their own interest.
The difference is that black interests are foolish and self destructive.
you mean you're woke then huh welcome to woke culture
woke is a flavor of garbage that has a side effect of worshipping the thought leader
>ESG Larry Fink Hegelian tier bullshit
I call it finkcore because all the games have the same message thatbhe preaches.
yeah, its quicker to say woke
it's just a typical rightwing buzzword for 'thing that upsets me/thing i don't like'
Because the only youtbers praising it are sponsored by Saints Row. If youtubers don't even like it there's clearly a problem.
>main character perfectly still
>everything else is shaking from side to side
how do you even get bugs like this
>it's impossible to fail this "qte" since the game just stalls until you draw
nice final battle volition
I would colonize Neena just like my ancestor Columbus

By Hispanic standards she has a decent face too.
Arguably the most surprising thing about the cast is that Steve Urkel isn't the most hateable character, because he rarely talks unless he's talking about cooking your books
The shirtless twink deserves to be disembowleld by Johnny Gat
This should explain it all.
None of you will make it to the end

LOOOOL
the shooting in this game is abhorrent
why did they make every enemy a bullet sponge and why did they make the gunplay so shitty? bullets are incredible slow and lack impact, it's like you're playing some kind of shooter RPG
>NOW SHOWING

One of the most obvious red flags.
wait, this shit actually came out ?
lmao
ye
Even the box art is shit the old Saints row was to the point, very purple, very obvious, had like stylish lettering and the flure de lis
But the new one is just some girl(?) sitting on a big oldtimey cartoon cowboy head with the most boring font they could pick like why? why throw out the iconic purple when you're trying to sell people on a remake, the new gang don't look remotely like saints
>why
You starting to get a feel for these people? Beginning to realise that the only thing they care about is power? That they will, quite literally, sacrifice their lives by going into industries they hate just so they can rise to the top and oppres- I mean, "correct" things?
Black person sr2 box art had no purple l m a o
I played the game (Thanks Fitgirl) and here's everything wrong with it, besides the woke stuff
>first minute in
>Your first mission is you being a mercenary, not a gang member
>You have to guard an armored vehicle that moves at a decent pace, definitely the one bonus
>Your character moves like he's on ice with zero friction
>Your dodge sends you flying and is mostly useless
>Small objects can both get in your way and kill you
>Mindless combat scenes later, you're on an aircraft and have to shoot the remaining enemies
>You're completely invincible btw
>After that, you meet your friends who are rip offs of the main crew
>Basically, Shaundi, Pierce, and Gat but if they watched Netflix and had Tumblr blogs
>Next is a mission where you destroy cop cars where you discover every car you're not in, is made of paper
>After that, you get a turrent mission, where you're stuck on a vehicle 75% of the time
The game panders to people who hate Saints Row
>>Your first mission is you being a mercenary, not a gang member
Remember how Saints Row 1 started with you also not being a gang member?
>rip offs of the main crew
>who are actually the second crew
>who have totally changed by their second appearance
All that being said, I pirated the reboot, skipped all the cutscenes cos they were annoying, and uninstalled after an 2 hours.
>Mindless combat scenes later, you're on an aircraft and have to shoot the remaining enemies
it's a callback to the opening of saints row 3. that's all it is
>Thanks Fitgirl
enjoy your crypto miner
That's not a thing, it's a meme perpetuated by israelites.
explain why it wouldnt be a thing
The saints were more endearing when they were irreverent criminals instead of this whiny millennial shit
Saints Row filled in a specific niche of "GTA but more whacky and cartoonish", and peaked on the third game.
As soon as it stopped doing that it became boring and lost its identity
It's not even woke in the sense that it would be blatantly pushing some agenda, it just tries to be as safe as a Big Bang Theory episode while still being a game about building a gang. The end result is fricking absurd.
If a GTA game had a parody GTA clone inside it, this could be its plot.
Also lots of gamebreaking bugs, while being very dated technically and mechanically.
53 posts and not one of you can explain? ok
You are a man in a dress
im wearing a t shirt and shorts
haven’t played it personally but the dialogue is far too cringe to be satire, so I’m avoiding playing it
any numbered series that resets the number with a new title is trash be default
Because it's about committing crime and crime is gay
It looks like a shitty Netflix adaptation
Idk im not interested in it, but they did a good job on Logo/Cover design?
Like you see this shitty cowboy head and you instantly know its the new saints row, even just the blue cover can make you think of it
its easier to recognize than some actually good games
>Millennial-Pink/Salmon-Pink
>Magenta
These colors are warning signs. Whenever I see them I know some thing cringe is about to follow.
I want the old saints row back
Leftists will defend this.
I wonder if they would console themselves, as they lie disemboweled like her, that they were allies.
both look bad
That's how low the bar is? you're right but one of them is far WORSE and it's not the one that came out a decade ago
its a saints row game
Nah, explain to me why it's good. There are multiple hundreds of games released every year, and I physically cannot play every game I want to play. Saints Row is thus competing against hundreds of games, let alone the thousands from the past that I haven't been able to play yet.
A game doesn't have to be "not bad". There are tens of thousands of games in existence. Being "mediocre" is the same as being total trash for all I care.
>Nah, explain to me why it's good
es fun
I'm not doing your work for you, get to work wagie shill and earn your nickels.
A half assed reksin of Saints Row 3 with wrose gameplay.
listen to their witty banter and tell me it's good lol
OP is a gay
shit repetitive gameplay
empty world
glitches out the ass
bad story
I just saw a video of it (not going to buy/waste time something I'm not interested in) and right off the bat:
>it looks worse than 3 and 4 in a console 2 generations ahead
>It runs badly
>The writers hate the game and are obsessed with paying their bills and rent so much they shoehorn that shit in all the dialogue
>It went from a goofy wacky game to reddit and tumblr incarnate (and not the tolerable parts, the insufferable ones)
doesnt escalate like the previous games did
doesnt have the personality of the previous games
doesnt have the continual gameplay and story progression
like johnny said in sr3
they traded in their dicks for pussies
>bought the game
>installed it
>loaded it up
>went into the gameverse
>immediate quips and SUBTLE nods towards multi mullion dollar corporations bad
>Hope this is in my pay
>I better be getting paid 30 dollars an hour for this
>Uninstalled the game and refunded it
Good experience
The dialogue is cringe
First (voiced) Saints Row without a wienerney voice.
Fricking garbage.
It's probably considered "offensive" these days
And when even white people things aren't allowed to be made fun of you know you're in peak giga-clown world
I totally forgot the protagonist was a mute in SR1.
He wasn't, he just speaks in the last or second to last mission of the gang storyline and the final mission, so he has a total of four spoken lines. That's not many, but he's not mute.
Hello Yahtzee.
Disregarding the subjective elements (the story, woke or whatever), the game mechanically is extremely half assed and reuses the majority of Saints Row 3's animations and they SOMEHOW managed to frick them up as well, the engine itself seems to be a rehashed version of the SR3 remaster's and the majority of the activities are also buggy rehashes, not to mention the combat itself is extremely mind numbing and boring.
In short, the reboot is an extremely mediocre and soulless asset flip minimum viable product that represents everything wrong with modern gaming.
almost 100 posts in and still none of you have been able to explain what is "wrong" with this game
almost 100 posts in and you are still a man in a dress
Honestly, it's pretty gay, and kinda homosexual.
Bad ai
Scripted fighting areas where you die leaving it, even when you're in a big open area. Sometimes ai won't come into the area because of bad scripting and you can't kill them getting you stuck
Scripted events don't work properly half the time
Your shots have a big delay
Forced auto aim that's bad and floaty
Cars and pedestrians don't spawn in half the time
Story is moronic
There is no recognizable main villain or leader of the gangs
Predictable betrayal
Main cast are just cringe
They made side hustles like insurance fraud no fun
>Scripted fighting areas where you die leaving it
>try to flank the enemy or get up to a sniper nest
>RETURN TO THE MISSION
>5 SECONDS
>MISSION FAILED
they do this because they know the player will figure out some tactical advantage that the devs don't want you to get so they can enforce a narrrative
Explain to me how constantly listening to the main characters only talking about:
>rent
>capitalism bad
>rent
>capitalism bad
>rent

I can see 4 things wrong with it
name them
Chink (person of Chinese descent)
Women
Black person (black person)

excuse me
are you dissin
Johnny Gat
Shaundi
Pierce
Laura Bailey(default female boss in 3)
There's nothing wrong with hating dollar-thrift store versions of the SR2 crew.
Truly the ur-exemple of "dishonest advertising". Volition can go sit on a big rusty pole or a splintery post and suck a bowl of dicks for that dick move.
It's gay
It's uber gay
It's a game made for/by homos
They got rid of the purple motiff for some reason
Most third person shooters are mediocre and this one is glitchy, poorly balanced and has no enjoyable characters.
At least from what I saw via footage, I'm not buying this shit.
> glitchy, poorly balanced
This game is clearly dogshit but you are also clearly using words above your station so I'm going to ask you to cite some examples.
>Glitchy
Look at any footage of the game with players getting stuck, vehicles physics start flying out of nowhere or that infamous cutscene glitch of the showdown that has been shared a lot.
>Poorly balanced
Combat just doesn't look balanced. I've seen videos where basic enemies will just take 3 headshot like nothing or grenades and special moves would only remove about 20% of health even at direct hit.
The game looks bullet spongey with no real satisfying gunplay or weaponry.
Nobody likes bullet sponge shit in shooters. Except maybe MMOgays but I don't consider them people.
>explain to me why this game is bad
I don't have to. It doesn't that on it's own.
>broken, bugs out the ass
>characters are all fricking ugly, even in the character creator it's next to impossible to make someone who isn't hideous
>gameplay is shallow and boring and repetitive, and also broken as frick
>every mission is shooting bullet sponge enemies, driving, or driving and shooting bullet sponge enemies
>game mechanics are moronic, literally. The enemies have non-existent AI and headshots DON'T INSTANTLY KILL THEM WTF THEY'RE HUMAN BEINGS NOT SUPER POWERED MAGICAL ALIENS OR SOME SHIT
>the world is boring and devoid of life. It feels completely dead and there's not shit to do in it.
I could go on but it's pointless. The game is objectively shit from every perspective, you don't even need to address the narrative or subject matter or characters, even if those were all great (and they are terrible) this game would still be complete trash.
Also anyone who cries "le racism" in response to the criticism is a fricking moron. All the Saints Row games were full of non-white people and no one cared.
The game forces side content to progress the main content
The side content is fricking garbage, one of which is being the driver of a heist, but you never participate in the actual fricking heist, you just wait outside then haul the npcs that do the heist to the next place.
We are dealing with developers that thought waiting outside while npcs do the fun stuff was entertaining.
The writing is god awful and painfully unfunny. One of the most egregious moment is near the start where nothing is happening, but the writer thought the best way to fill the void is to make your character swear up a storm like a tourettes patient
Shooting is mediocre and anemic as frick with enemies taking like 3 fricking headshots to die. Even Saints Row 3 and 4 are more merciful.
You regenerate health by doing press x for awesome takedowns, but they last so fricking long as if they wanted to punish you from getting shot in a hitscan game. Saints Row 4 fixed this fricking problem already by making enemies drop health upon kill so the pace doesn't get broken up this badly.
Fricking LARP jokes and a mission all about LARPers in current year that is as entertaining as jamming rusty nails into your fingernails.
Play Sunset Overdrive instead. We have reached a new low when that fricking game is more entertaining.
During the initial teasing of the reveal, I thought we were really going back to the series's roots. Then the rug was pulled out from under me and Volition said they were going to make the new Saints Row "their own way" and that I should go frick myself if I liked the older games.
Holy shit to think back then when I really though they'd try reviving it
I can't believe all it turned out to be is some cheap cash grab for an invisible group of "twitter gamers"
2022 gaming is dead
I can't
>LET ME JUST FINISH MY CHOCOLATE ONIONS!
well, homosexuals and Black folk, basically.
I played it to 70-80% completion, so it's not that the game is bad, but holy shit is it genuinely of the most frustrating cases of missed potential I've ever seen.
I don't hate the characters, I don't even mind the whole "family" aspect that they're trying to do. But I just don't care about them either, since there's no real conflicts outside of Eli occasionally disagreeing with the Playa/Boss. Eli's the smart business-type that'd rather go legit judging by some minor dialogue so they could've had him try and secretly buy out the Saints empire in his name, they could've given Kevin some inner conflict due to being part of a commie techno-cult, they could have even introduced some minor conflicts between him and Neenah since they were both from different gangs, but they just don't do anything with them. I liked the old gang from SR1 and 2 but it's not like I hate these new characters because they aren't them, but it's just that they don't really have anything going on. We really don't go through any hard times or interesting with these characters, compared to Johnny's relationship with Aisha, Carlos's death, or learning about Julius and Benjamin King.
And it's because the game just doesn't really have any stakes after the first act, outside of the last mission. They had a genuinely good workable premise, assuming you can ignore the bad dialogue, of the MC being part of a private military company, then fired after already struggling to make ends meet and going deep to a life of crime. They had the opportunity to take inspiration from many gangs that you see featured in Vice docs on Youtube like young people joining cartels, the growing true crime research in recent years, shit they could even take inspiration from Mafia's 1 and 2 of how people get into organized crime. But they don't really do that or anything. After the first act that all goes out the window and it just doesn't have the growing stakes or structure the first two games had.
Continuing with my autism rant
You know how in SR 1 and 2 you could tackle gangs in any order and how each gang was like it's own "arc"? They don't really do that here, its more of SR3's messy storytelling, but arguably worse because there's no feeling like you're conquering the city and putting the pressure on, there's hardly any interactions with rival gang bosses or cutscene jumps where the actors can really steal the show and really make you look forward to the next mission. The Nahuali is the most developed antagonist in this game but even then his reason for turning on you is silly, because he wants friends he basically turns on you and tries to leave you for dead, trying to live your life.
And it's frustrating because beyond the bugs the gameplay actually feels to have some effort. The city of Santa Ileso is genuinely good and they bring back the colorful environments badly missing from the series since SR1 and 2. There's some decent district variety (not as much as SR2's Stilwater) but its a huge step up over 3 and only the downtown district being any interesting/not copypasted. Customization is better over SR3 in terms of clothing options, guns, and you can really tweak individual difficulty options which is legit great and could be a bandaid fix for the damage sponges returning from SR3/4. Wingsuiting around Santa Ileso is also fun, but the side missions vary wildly in terms of fun factor, even though they try to give you interesting rewards outside of XP/clothing with the occasional odd cool weapon/perk. And it has the SR3 problem where the world isn't open out of the gate compared to SRs 1/2, you gotta progress the story to unlock more side content.
I don't hate it but it's just a 5-6/10 game and it's me being generous. Because there's potential but Volition deliberately played it too safe. Not worth paying for in its current state, but a huge improvement over Agents of Mayhem at least since I at least beat it.
Holy shit
>autists falls for garbage yet again
Go back to playing johnny games. At least they're free and have passion in them, in a mentally ill kind of way
It’s not Saints Row 3 or 4 far from it
Shooting looks ass, driving seems okay but Mad Max did whatever it's trying to do better, characters and writing are absolutely unbearable Twitter speak that normal people can't handle for more than 2 sentences.
Unironically ask yourself how is it good.
Imagine if every therapist asked their patients this right off the bat. It would go somewhere fast.
explain to me why israelites need their own state
Because we've tried letting them stay elsewhere 109 times.
>ctrl+f, "store"
NO ONE MENTIONED THAT YOU CANT ROB STORES ANYMORE IN THIS GAME?
It is worse than the game from the same franchise released 14 years before
character customization seems more pointless now because all the dialogue was clearly written with a black female lead in mind. making a grisly old white guy and seeing him go "YAAAAAAAAAS QUEEN" is just off-putting. Were the previous games like this?
nope.
unironically everything
Because it's set in a desert and desert areas suck wiener
Actually the world is the one redeeming factor it’s kind of like Las Vegas I think, steel port was a shitty world in some really fun games
>marketed as "old game but new"
>has almost none of the old games memorable traits and features
>few returning traits are lobotomized
You forgot sanitizing anything that could be considered edgy or offensive so now it's completely soulless and only appeals to twitards.
This game is the prime example of how creatively bankrupt the triple A studio has become.
Incredibly annoying characters including the protag
Generic weapons
Shooting feels like shit
Driving feels like shit
Generic missions
Ripoff gtao side missions
No white characters
it was made by people who probably never played saints row in their lives or they detest what the series is. for design and technical issue, it's the writing that completely misses the point. as if someone decided to make a parody of saints row, but thought they were nailing it perfectly. just comparing the swearing from the first game and this reboot hammers that point home.
A friend also described it as a game made by people who don't play games. I found it be like they were following just a check list of things but not understanding why.
>People like the physics and things like the insurance job
>Okay so cars explode if you touch them and we have a dedicated smash button
The guns also all feel like shit, I could understand the Marshall guns being pew pew futuristic but how does the shotgun have the same amount of force as the starting pistol?
I think it would be redeeming if it wasn't so empty. For a small world, it really lacks details or even a variety enough of NPCs. Trying to get one of the photos done,I had 2 npcs saying the same lines at me with the same head.
>First fast travel point was broken
>Constantly removing my characters clothes
>Clothes colors wigging out, changing or outright defaulting themselves
>Underwear and israeliteelry randomly equipping/unequipping with menus
>Fell through terrain on several of the closed off story missions
>Cars popping and vanishing
>T posing when using melee weapons
What the frick do the QA people do these days? They get paid more now and it seems like nobody actually played the fricking thing. Unless it was in an even worse state before.
>What the frick do the QA people do these days?
QA almost always gets the raw deal as doing nothing, but the truth is deadlines are so tight devs are perfectly aware of the reported issues and simply don't have the time to fix them.
>Volition is still shilling this shit
Lmao, was the Epic money not enough?
>mfw thanking Reddit and Discord mods
>that ending """singing""" cutscene
Kinda kino thanks to the glitch
Really though not even a fricking reaction minigame? No dueling reticle? Just RT in the middle of the screen
why has the west gotten so lazy?
is the modern publisher afraid of crunch?
>lazy
It's calculated corporate risk. There's not a single AAA studio that isn't part of one of the three (or two, can't keep track of all the acquisitions and mergers going on right now) conglomerate video game corporations. They have zero, in fact negative incentive to take any risk whatsoever. What moves units highest and fastest? Do that until it doesn't work anymore. That's all the thought that goes into it now.
Problem is when your safe bet reboots are not panning out either.
I don't think Saints Row belongs there. I don't know anyone who was excited for this game, even among the normie goyslop circles. I kind of forgot it even existed until now. Can you really call it a disappointment if there were no expectations to begin with?
>dat feel when September
What can still flop?
This series was never good. 6 games and they still can't get something as fundamental as DRIVING feel good, still? Don't bother making a gta clone if you can't get what you do 70 percent of the game right.
Source: have played all of them except that agents game
Uh no one of the reasons Saint Row 3 took off is because it felt more fun to play than GTAIV and yes people pointed out at the time that SR3 had better driving than the slippery punishing driving of GTAIV
I don't mind you commending the old Saints Row games, but don't try defending the driving lmao its terrible
Youre also moronic as saints row 2 came out just after gtaiv. Zoom zoom back to your moms vegana
I feel you anon. So many GTA clones can’t nail driving and then they add a fricking race sequence into which makes it so difficult
>mafia remake race
>sleeping dogs street race
>watchdogs (I think that had races)
Glad someone agrees. Sleeping Dogs was actually pretty good but again, the driving is terrible so I can't enjoy it.
Worse thing about Saints Row? Caf customisation is excellent but what's the point when I don't wanna drive them
Is the first game worth emulating or should I just skip to 2? Any xenia tweaks I should know?
First game is the best on the series because it had identity, closely followed by 2
in many ways it's a prototype for the second game, but sure
>Any xenia tweaks I should know?
make sure "--protect_zero=false" is set in config or it will crash. keep in mind there's sound tiny sound delay, especially in cutscenes, that I don't think has been fixed.
Never played it but watched enough reviews to know this game is 10 years behind AAA games. Absolutely pathetic in terms of driving, combat and gameplay. Hell, watchdogs is probably better
Watchdogs is undeniably better, ubisoft at least know what they're doing and have aim
I pirated the game just to see how bad the game is myself and yeah, pretty much all the complaints are true.
the gameplay really is that fricking bad. it just boggles my mind at how much of a step back they took with this game.
there are so many open world games out right now that they could have just copied from but nope. im convinced the people who worked on this game have never made a game before and were just "fans" of open world game.
its like that one shitty movie where their selling tagline is "from the producers who saw shrek".
literally the same vibe with this game.
the only decent takeaway ive gotten so far is that i was able to make an ok looking waifu
It's not good.
Only one guy on the team had any ties to previous SR games, and it was the one who decided 3 and 4 should be more zany. Disaster was to be expected.
writings shit, it's a buggy mess, you can't rob stores like in older ones you literally do it once in a mission but can't do it while in the open world
