>The Saints Row Reboot has failed to meet Embracer Group’s expectations, and the franchise’s future is under evaluation.
Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors has expressed his disappointment in the reception of Saints Row, though he is confident that the game will make money regardless. He described Saints Row as one of the harder of Embracer’s franchises to get a high return on investment with.

maybe they should try making games that people want to play, instead of more mindless homosexualy pozzed garbage
When people say SR2 was the peak of this franchise, they should listen.
>mindless homosexualy pozzed garbage
probably the perfect way to describe the last several SR games
>y'all folx ready to get jiggy with the dubstep gun?!
it was over after that
yes SR2 was the absolute peak. SR3 was alright but it was the beginning of the end, the writing on the wall. they thru everything but the kitchen sink into that game, even a zombie apocalypse and an alien invasion
>force politics into fricking everything for the last 14 years
>"can you guys liek seriously stop talking politics actually for once god go touch grass"
maybe its you who should go touch grass, you absolute homosexual
SR3 was still.. okay-ish but it doesn't go with a bang since Steve Jarros and other veteran founders left the studio after SR4.
Can you seriously just go back to
? Do you even play videogames or do you just want to b***h about mindless politics in a game about gangs.
>whining about the /misc/ boogeyman again because you don’t like people discussing what’s wrong with a video game
https://www.resetera.com/
You have to go back
No game is perfect, maybe the games not bad, maybe its just not for you. Stop fudding a game just because its politics doesnt align with yours, you fricking snowflake.
Not that anon, but I can immediately paste a long list of objective reasons right now the game isn't good
>Stop fudding a game just because its politics doesnt align with yours
i would advise you do the same, in every regard. stop fudding things because their politics dont align with yours.
I think you're mentally ill for thinking this is a decent game
>maybe its just not for you.
Well according to the reception/sales maybe the game is just not for anyone
Cope and seethe. Even Stray was more of a success than this shit "game."
This game is not for fricking anyone except the devs
on top of being a pozzed piece of shit the story sucks, it's buggy as hell, adds almost nothing to the franchise (and in fact takes things away), and is so far alienated from the games that came before it that the fricking "aliens in space put the gangbanger president in the matrix and give him superpowers" game was closer
10/10
low quality bait
Live and let live only works if both sides agree not to frick with each other.
Since we can't agree to that by your side's hand, then the feeling's mutual. Frick you and what you love.

Hi Voliton Employee.
Are you one of those absolute morons that thinks criticizing a film with women in it = misogyny?
Those anons aren't wrong. Your ideology is fricking vapid, cringe, low IQ, worn out and busted. As evidenced by this colossal frick up of a game.
you have to kys
Yes, I have played Saints Row 1, 2, 3, and 4, and no, I will not EVER touch this dumpster fire
Go woke, go broke
You get what you fricking deserve
games are political, they made it that way
>game about gangs
I could kill and rape the 4 protagonists in a single fricking afternoon, this game is not about gangs, its about angsty twinks globohomosexual student debt fruitbowl homosexuals. There is no gangs, only monkeypox.
You lost.
/misc/ living rent free in these homies heads. get a grip!
Stop denying people escapism and entertainment by forcing yourself and your agenda upon everything and everyone. Even the normalgays are getting tired of your shit.
>ugh just consume products or else you're a white supremacist
Funny how a shitpost meme ended up becoming true.
That wasn't even my point. My point was this homosexual is saying "let people enjoy things, maybe it's not for you" when this homosexual is 100% the kind to shit themselves over a sexy anime chick with big breasts being in a game and how it's sexist or some shit and demand it be banned.
Calm down Wingefors
>maybe they should try making games that people want to play
They did. The problem is they were completely wrong about what people want to play.
Why would they do that when it's going to sell either way?
isnt this the thread where the ceo says the game didnt sell well at all and they are cancelling the rest of the franchise?
No. The article in the OP is specifically talking about critical reception, not sales. As long as GTA games take 100 years to produce any half assed clone that comes out in-between them will sell.
Mister Larry Fink has comparable leverage to consumers and they are an incoherent screeching mass that can be easily blamed

nice rebuttal, homosexual.
Post something other than buzzwords if you want to be taken seriously.
>continues thinking about trannies despite nobody mentioning them
Good bot
Yep. It's not the best SR game but far from "le worst game evarrr" like Ganker claims.
>he admits that he’s from ResetEra
Time to go back
>a game made by trannies, featuring trannies, for trannies
>"HURRRR DURRR Y U TALKIN ABOUT TRANNIES ALL THE TIME"
Nobody claims it's the worst game ever, stop strawmanning
It's just a game with very little appeal, which is why it bombed
Did you buy the game?
Sounds like buyers remorse. I'm sorry the absolute pile of wank you put your political hopes in turned out to be as embarrassing as your beliefs.
Play the game instead of following Ganker's NPC groupthink.
Schizo?
Are the trannies in the room with you now?
>Play the game
What makes you think I haven't? Because I'm not stepping in line?
You lost. The game failed. Lashing out at the 'rightoid' might make you feel better but it won't change that reality.
>What makes you think I haven't?
People who have actually played the game aren't frothing at the mouth over nonexistent culture wars. You are.
>You lost.
Did you think this was some kind of contest? Don't buy SR, go outside instead.
>people I talk to online are in the room with me
Same advice, please go outside and touch grass
im outside touching grass as we speak, enjoying a nice whisky and a fine cigar. totally grounded to the earth. and youre still a israelite homosexual
>People who have actually played the game aren't frothing at the mouth over nonexistent culture wars. You are.
I'm not the anons you originally started arguing with, nor am I 'frothing at the mouth'. You are the one throwing out wild accusations about people being critical of the game as being 'rightoids'.
>Did you think this was some kind of contest?
You started challenging people. Now you are constantly being baited.
Man you are seething hard over this game being a flop
Played the game and it was shit, bugs everywhere , an hell of a cringegest with ten years old game mechanics and I want my money back. You are either larping or a pathetic excuse of a shill who can't even do his job correctly.
Either way, you are a homosexual that should kill himself.
yeah im talking to a troony right now, it keeps spewing buzzwords and it paid $69.99 + cuck tax to play a troony simulator
Yeah I couldn't give less of a frick about politics, which is why I don't want my game about gangs to have repeated fricking lines about student loan debt shoved up my nostrils.
But yeah. It's just Republicans
>I couldn't give less of a frick about politics, which is why I don't want my game about gangs to have repeated fricking lines about student loan debt shoved up my nostrils.
All the games were full of political satire, they were never just "about gangs" any more than GTA was only about stealing cars.
Seems that it's only a problem for you this time because you disagree with it.
k
>nor am I 'frothing at the mouth'.
Your writing style indicates you're angry.
I already said I didn't really like the game, what's your excuse?
>replying fervently to everyone who replies to them
>not frothing at the mouth
you are angry, your writing style and post frequency indicates that you are mad
Take a deep breath. There is no reason to get this worked up. This is an an opportunity to learn, use it instead of lashing out.
>angry combative post
>doesn't actually disagree with me
Go easy on the buzzwords, it outs you as a zoomer NPC.
>im not mad ur mad!
okay moron, enjoy your homosexualy garbage game
>doesn't actually disagree with me
>People who have actually played the game aren't frothing at the mouth over nonexistent culture wars.
Take your meds and keep coping schizo
So you're saying that you are actually frothing at the mouth? That sucks.
Thanks for thinking I'm witty, but I'm not trying to have a weird contest with you. I'm using a social media app for its intended purpose - discussion.
There are fairly reliable markers of emotion even in typed text. If you are really interested, you could find a few points of starting material on google and go from there.
>frothing at the mouth
not much more than you are, schizo. Also your english sucks shitskin, didn't know volition was broke at the point to hire pajeets to shill their shitty game on Ganker.
>not mad
>keeps on replying to everyone for the past couple hours
>keeps attacking people for disagreeing with him
>not mad
Sure buddy. Just don't overdose on that copium.
You must be really mad since you replied to me.
Impressive use of buzzwords, you must be a free thinker.
That's not what you wrote, though.
Hmm, not quite enough anger for me. Please try screeching louder as you type out your next reply.
If I'm mad what that makes you? You must be literally seething with pure unadulterated rage.
Try not to be so wordy
Good job "not caring" by writing your essay, but I earned $300 in the last 2 hours.
The satire is that murderous criminals are still paying student loans just like their generational peers. The situation is absurd, which is the source of the satire. I never claimed it's good satire, but it's there.
You remind me of the leftists who screeched at the "cowardice" of Far Cry 5 for not making the antagonist cult Trump supporters.
>>Try not to be so wordy
>while he himself is way more than me
Lmao, you're delusional. Tie a noose and have a nice day moron, you'd make everyone in this world a favor.
>I never claimed it's good satire, but it's there.
Ironic, "it's there" is the review most people who play video games gave it to.
That was my first post in this thread, meanwhile you have wasted over two hours of your life posting in defense of your warped worldview.
Wewlad, I'm going to close the thread because I don't give a shit what your mentally ill self has to say about anything at all.
>plebbit user being mad on Ganker about a steaming turd of a game
>calls everyone else chuds, racists, etc

You're malding, you need to go back or just kys and make everyone more happy, especially your family
I applaud you for making at least 4 shcizos shit and piss everywhere all while simply stating logical human interaction via their tantrums.
Do you actually believe what you wrote?
>Your writing style indicates you're angry
lmaoooooo that projection
sorry man, the game flopped
>Your writing style indicates you're angry.
Says the gay who is quite literally seething over 'rightoids' while having the gall to say someone who brings up trannies is the one in delusion/buzzwording.
You argue like a Redditor, i.e. a pseud.
Your writing style reveals your anger again.
>no u
k
So your issue is not that there's politics in this game, it's that the satire in this game isn't good? That doesn't really jive with Ganker's frothing at the mouth response.
>desperately trying to get the witty last word
>cant even help itself
They really are seething today
>Your writing style reveals your anger again.
What is my writing style and how, specifically, does it mean I'm angry?
hes mass replying to every last post replying to him. instead of just replying in general, non specifically. hes clearly the frustrated mad pseudointellectual r e d d i t o r here
>So your issue is not that there's politics in this game, it's that the satire in this game isn't good? That doesn't really jive with Ganker's frothing at the mouth response.
It's not satire though, it's just blunt political preaching. GTA does satire. This game plays like "baby's first tweet." None of it feels authentic enough to be biting satire. And it's not self aware enough to even be goofy satire. GTA hits everyone. This game has the most blatant political slant it is eye rolling
The game's utter cowardice is a symptom of it's woke left leaning nature.
>Seems that it's only a problem for you this time because you disagree with it.
It's not really satire if it has no nuiance, is blunt as a hammer, and doesn't really say anything deeper than "student loan debt amiright?"
If you are defending it, seems to me you need to raise your standards up by 100 fricking notches
>*Says the obvious answer that anyone with a brain can conclude*
>UM YOU ARE JUST AN NPC WHO HAS NO UNIQUE IDEA!!!
>2+2=4
>REEEEEEE NPC REEEEEE
lol the left can't meme
Hillbilly Jim-Bob-Abner-Gus. What they should have done was release a game that was playtested and had bugfixes before launching.
It would've been pretty fricking sad if this game sold well as an unplayable buggy piece of shit even without the cringy zoomer humor and tropes.

Damn homie, u dumb
The audio's not swapped, it's just SR launched with serious audio problems so the song itself didn't load. Like that Tom Cruise Mummy trailer.

Can't get that link to work, is it this?
A game for an audience that only exists within some social media algorithm, constantly alienating their fanbase online thinking they're the new Wendy's twitter, a downgrade to all the games before it. Who could've seen it coming.
The one positive thing I can remember from Gat out of Hell. Funny and actually well sang too.
>thinking they're the new Wendy's twitter
This is new to me, what's that about?
Wendys, the fast food chain, arguably started the whole idea of brands being quirky and talking back to people on twitter. A lot of companies afterwards adopted similar strategies of making jokes and mocking people whenever they said anything they considered insulting.
Speaking of Wendy's, Freckle b***h's doesn't exist anymore. It's literally just FB's now, and Rim Jobs is now Jim Rob's
my headcanon is that the audio for this is a placeholder they couldn't replace in time
This is the middest shit I've ever seen
Fr fr bruh no cap
It's odd just how lifeless it is despite clearly meant to be some energetic montage. Also what's with the horrible out of tune singing? It's not endearing like the old games since it was a relaxing things the characters did while driving around and laughing at their own singing, this sounds dreadful.
the biggest problem is that horrid framerate good god it's like a damn slide show
They love that waffle maker gag way too much.
stop linking this homosexual site i can't see it you fricking /misc/tard
If not for the enthusiastic crowd I would assume this is bad on purpose and the joke is that they're shit at karaoke.

Everyone involved with this at any capacity deserves to be killed.
Wokoids might be the least charming group of people on the face of the planet. I think that if they got into a stand up comedy showdown with people from the 80s who's job is to write films for backwoods Christians who believe that D&D is causing their children to be possessed by Satan, they'd lose handily.
Dude, Veggie Tales, the pinnacle or 90s christian child media, has more talent than any 2016+ wokegay media

Quick reminder that this is the secret ending you get for 100%ing the game, collectathon and all. Every open world 'secret', every scripted fight, ever NPC quest - the lot. This is the.... 'reward'.

He thought a Asian man prostitute with a waffle tattoo, a beta black sissy, and a mid latina with gameplay and bugs worse than saints rows the third would make money. Literally all the dumb fricks had to do was remake 1 and 2 like they did the 3rd.
I never noticed before that the Asian gay had a waffle tattoo
What the frick? why?
Because when they have poor millenial brunch in the second mission he laments that they can't afford a waffle iron
They wanted that watch dogs 2 and Fortnite audience.
How is complaining about a reboot I played(friend bought it for god knows why) with shitty characters, shitty gameplay compared to SR3, and game breaking bugs makes me a pol tard?

A game made for Twitter people isn't profitable ?
Nooo 🙁
Do Twitter gays even play video games?
the "audience" they think they are targeting with these awful products doesnt actually exist. these people dont play games or watch movies. they just exist purely off of outrage.
How do we get rid of outrage culture?
i have an idea, but its very permanent. a final solution
It's already happening. Zoomers are starting to hate it, and it's only gonna spread from there.
It's already dying.
We ignore it. Complete apathy kills any form of social control and spreading the idea of apathy will start it
and yet they keep burning down one franchise after another in pursuit of this audience. when does it end?
They aren't trying to find the audience, they're trying to create it.
first of all, Twitter users are not people, they live in a different reality and they should be round up and shot to death for the good of humanity
secondly, no, they don't play games hence the flop of the game
Do bots play videogames?
The media/mega corps always forget that Twitter is like ~5% of the population lol.
Forget everything else. the fact the game only has 36 missions and only about 10 are about dealing with the other 3 factions is a fricking travesty. You can't even replay them.
>release absolute dogshit that nobody wants with a beloved name stapled onto it

This
I was a potential buyer but the EGS requirement was a hard pass. Fricking beyond idiotic approach with this game
Maybe they should try making a game people would want to play next time.
I would rather never see saints row again than this shit.

Cool deer.

Why is the Japanese have this whole thing pinned down and working but the West keep failing like this?
b***h got a diaper on or what?
Japaneses know how to please their fans and they are very self-aware they owe them fame and fortune.
Westeners are too proud and uncompromising and don't think alienating the fanbase is a bad idea.
Games became a political outlet in the west, it's no coincidence no good games have come out since
I have not once seen a primarily Japanese game pull that "STAY MAD HATERS" bullshit or heard a single Japanese dev rant about how much they hate X or whatever on Twitter, probably because they're actually working on the fricking games and if they put out a stinker then oh goddamn well it's a stinker and not a failed political/cultural statement stuffed inside a video game's corpse
Jews.
East makes games for the fans.
West makes them in spite of the fans.
The west has a general holier than thou attitude. It's why western devs don't seem to have any problem with mocking and shiting on the people they're trying to convince to spend money on their product. Because they believe they have the moral high ground and that justifies everything.
>Elden Ring

You say that like Bridget wasn't trooned out, Japan is turning
I think alot of people outright do not know just how awful the writing is in this game. The dialogue is excruciating and not in a way thats ha ha thats so stupid.
Some of it is the worst corporate safe lines I have ever heard.

>illegals are allowed to vote
Lol straight up fake news but okay where did you learn that? DailyMail?
your mom told me after i got done fricking her brains out, before i cam to tuck you in last night
As a former borderline communist who used to believe this, what you fail to realize is that those states were built up when they were swing states. Then they went far blue, started vampirizing their wealth and making themselves more crime-ridden, and now they're collapsing.
The left is civilizational rot. People in those rich states began to feel entitled to a safety net (managed by politicians; very smart) as opposed to viewing it as something that you need to build for yourself by working hard, keeping your family close, forming meaningful relationships, etc.
hope you can eat money then, c**t.
>The United States would not be where it is today without California or New York or Washington
So it wouldn't be full of perpetually mad homosexuals that shit their pants at the sight of boomers taking selfies in a building that they call it a violent insurrection?
False advertising by the way. I thought you homosexuals decided to kill your pedophile politicians. Imagine my disappointment when I found out there wasn't even a single corpse.
Fricking rip off.

you have to stop thinking that everyone who shits on far leftist garbage that permeates all society these days is a right winger. those actual nazis and racists you hate are a super minority. the internet has always been about ironic racism and you morons are destroying the world trying to fight them. Anti woke is the majority normie position.
according to the lefts own definitions, anything that isnt explicitly woke is right wing. therefore all of them. also you dont get to persecute people into hiding and then claim they dont exist.
Most military games especially COD it's literally America GOOD everyone else BAD the series

Pretty much every game made pre-2017 is far-far-right by nowadays lefties' standards so...

Alongside classic Disney and anime with hot girls, it's just another one of those examples that even far leftists prefer things that don't listen to them. They've had a decade of entertainment companies being willing to literally lose hundreds of millions of dollars repeatedly in the quest to court them. Do they put Aloy on their shirts? No, they put Cinderella, the epitome of feminine virtue.

>tells you to leave your belongings at the entrance so that they can go to the communal store

>in reality, the underclass are servants of the aristocrats who's lives are completely disposable
Oh you meant ShB
Also what the frick are you on about? You got a complete wrong read on this shit and you should've realized on that last point. Eulmore was essentially a gated cult that promised safety in a post-apocalyptic world, where the material contributors (the rich) were allowed to be lazy and everyone else had to become a loyal but disposable servant in return for that safety. It's not communism at all.
Eulmore is explicitly communist. All belongings are rendered to the state for communal use. It's supposed to be an imperfect reflection of Amaurot which you visit later, which is an actual post-scarcity communist utopia because they can make whatever they want with magic. Narratively, Eulmore is a deranged mirror of Amaurot and Vauthry is a wannabe Emet-Selch.
>Vauthry is a wannabe Emet-Selch
I wouldn't go that far. Emet Selch didn't see himself as a god, but a disposable foot soldier in the mission to restore the world. And he steps aside gracefully when beaten rather than pounding his fists into the ground like a child.
That's why he's a wannabe. The primary goal of Vauthry and Eulmore is to return to mankind to a state of Eden, before morality or sin. That's why his boss form is that of the angel guarding Eden, said in the Bible to wield a flaming sword which points in all directions (his ultimate attack). That's also what Emet-Selch is doing, except that Emet-Selch knows the actual truth of the situation. Vauthry is just a mentally-stunted pretender. They even set Vauthry up as a fake final boss by having the classic FF thing where everyone comes together to usher you into the """"final"""" dungeon, and his boss theme is the ShB main theme like Emet-Selch's, except Vauthry's is autotuned to show he's a fraud. Speaking of the main theme, the lyrics referring to angels are actually talking about the Ascians and not the Sin Eaters, another way Vauthry is a wannabe.

>right wing game
No one gives a shit about right wing shit. They just don't want fricking politics in their games.
I guess you could call Kingdom Come as that. Since it doesn't have nogs and the dev refused to listen to twitter historians
Anything published by Nintendo.
This game might go down as one of the clearest examples of go woke go broke. This will truly be one for the history books
>make a game that appeals to absolutely nobody
>flops
oh no!
B-BUT WE GOT TONS OF LIKES ON TWITTER WHILE FIGHTING THE CHUDS!!!
The internet went to shit once all the tumblr refugees went to twitter and spread their identity politics everywhere. I remember every site use to laugh at the dumb shit they do like identifying as tri gender fox people but now you can get canceled over making fun of me.
lmao are you me, I have thought of this multiple times.
thought I was the only one who noticed it but really if everyone just realized it was tumblr nuts from the beginning and wrote off all this shit, media would be in a better place rn.
meant to say making of them. Idk how I typed me
dude how did we go from laughing at furry homosexuals pretending there animals to now footplayers can walk around saying there women
wtf this is exactly what I’ve been saying for years
>dont buy our game then chuds
>NO WAIT
yikes
Shocking. Who could've possibly seen this coming.
Why is his drink IN the bag?? Who does that???
Gee it's like you threw everything out, told the original fanbase to frick off and are relying on a new fanbase while literally selling SR2 again with a worse story.
SR2 remaster is inevitable at this point.
And the fact that these pozzed basedguzzling c**ts are gonna have to make is as true to the original as possible to keep their cushy job is twice as delicious.
What fantasy gumdrop world do you live in? This just means the franchise will be shelved forever
NTA but I can at least see embracer forcing them to finish the patch to try and gain back some good will. I dunno.
It's literally the only lifeline they have left to keep their pos company afloat.
What the frick do you think they're gonna do ? Double down and make another pozzed flop or swallow their pride and actually make some money?
make another pozzed flop. theyll just do what 343 industries did and lie and say they learned from the last game. but itll be even worse.
They'll get their journalism arm at polygon or whatever to write some articles like,
>Was the Saint's Row reboot TOO intelligent for gamers?
Does anyone even read video game journalist bullshit anymore?
But there's no dosh to be made by doing that, how will they be able to break even? not mention make a profit?
>but it's not profitable!
Bitch, you think kool aid guzzling lefties care? It's not about making money to them. They'll double, triple, and quadruple down. Then when they eventually kill the company and get fired, they'll run to twitter and b***h about how gamers are still so problematic for not buying their games.
>But there's no dosh to be made by doing that
they clearly do not care about profit at this point
I mean at the end of the day they're still a company, probably run by some CEO, who really enjoys yachting with hookers and blow. So, once the funding for his fun times won't be there, he might actually try to do something about it and hire some talent.
yeah but these companies are all run by mega rich publishers funded by money laundering operations via the global narcotics syndicates. theyll just fire that guy and hire someone else
I doubt they have 343 money, they either gotta close doors, make another flop, or swallow their pride and make a good game
i think theyll make another flop
>What the frick do you think they're gonna do ? Double down and make another pozzed flop
Is this your first experience with leftists?
Neither. It's not like Embracer themselves were banking everything on Saints Row. They're far more likely to just cut their losses and do something else entirely. Volition will probably be kept around long enough to pump out some DLC since I think they already sold a season pass, and then they'll probably be dissolved.
>wanting them to touch the first two games at all other than the patch for SR2
They keep saying the first two games are unacceptable to "today's climate" with problematic racism, bigotry, and too many other icky issues and it's best that people just forget them. Do you really want these fricks touching a remaster when that's their attitude towards the games?
I won.
Burn Volition
BUUUUURN!
get woke go broke and good riddance
whats the next IP or company leftoids will parasitically kill off?
probably easier to ask which one they wont
Warhorse
It's doubtful they'll release an actual game ever again though.

>get woke go broke and good riddance
>whats the next IP or company leftoids will parasitically kill off?
Embracer is already confirmed to pozz the tomb raider ip, the leaked script showed she’s going to be lesbian

Just retcon 4 into one of the Saints’s shitty gangsta space movies and reveal Gat lived after a coma or something
And set it in an interesting setting like South Korea or something instead of the fricking desert
Just retcon 3 and everything after it as the Boss's deranged Loa Dust nightmare after celebrating taking over Stilwater.
based. and by the time he comes out of his haze and shandi pops her mouth off his wiener, he sees that the city has fallen to shit (aka modern lefty sjw nightmare) and he must unpozz the city, wiping out all the homosexual gangs. the sisters (gays), the spiders (fed glowies), the mongrels (Black folk and illegal immigrants) and the Troons, a bunch of purple haired trannies and tumblrina landwhales.
They have a fricking time machine, how fricking hard could it be to come up with a bullshit excuse to travel back in time and reboot the game with the same cast?
I just want to see Gat again, I'd be ok even with his loose cannon cop version from AoM
Just make Saints Row 3 and 4 a fricking drug induced dream. If you're ok with the wacky meme shit of those games then surely you won't have a problem with it's storyline being a drug trip.
That'd be ok too
I dunno. SR4 actually had tons of emotional developments for the main cast, with Shaundi finally making peace with her new role in the Saints, Gat getting over her girlfriend's death and everybody just getting their shit together.
I wouldn't mind if they were retconned, but they should at least keep that part of the characters consistent.
Retcon Third too
>Well liked series of 4 games
>Try to sell people a shitty reboot that flops hard
>Threaten the series future because of your failure
This is a pathetic temper tantrum but it's pretty common behaviour for companies that feel entitled to customer money. If you don't eat the shit you get nothing.
i wonder how the group that made mafia 3 rebounded? did they fire everyone involved with that debacle? or are mafia 4 and 5 doomed to the same fate?
Hayden Blackman was the main guy behind Mafia 3 and was the person behind most of the woke shit in that game and he’s gone from Hangar 13 so there’s that
I remember when EA did almost the same thing with Dead Space after they bought it, and I thought that was really fricked up, but it happens a lot now. If there's one underperforming title, well, that entire franchise is dead now, sorry.
Good. Accelerate. The faster the investors/shareholders fricks off from the AAA publishers and crashes AAA gaming market, the better. A second major videogame crash would put the industry back on a better path. Just stick it out with some good old vidya that aint on that as-a-service model bs. I still have an insane amount of games on my backlog, I assume it's the same with many others.
Oh no
anyway
I've been playing this game and I'm having fun. Sure, the new cast is kinda gay, but they're growing on me, and the gameplay is like SR3 but a little more simplified and kinda glitchy in a funny way. I'm just happy they dropped all the superpower shit from SR4 and Gat out of Hell, making cars the main source of transportation again instead of some godmode power.
I would be happy if they didn't forget cruise control
>pirate it
>play second mission
>they're robbing a payday loan place because it's le evil
Lmaooooo
Literally not even worth pirating
Does this publisher even have a lot of money? The Pozzed shit was obviously them trying to disract from the awful quality like how Capeshit movies do with quips and their writing.
But really this game feels like it was on a very tight budget it feels and looks like a mobile GTA rip off. Not an AAA game
It's been estimated that the budget is roughly 150 million, since Embracer has stated they need 2 million copies at full price to break even. This would make it easily the most expensive game in the franchise
Where did the 149.9 mil go?
What were their expectations?
#haters gonna hate
>players hear characters complain about paying for rent and student loans
>start jumping on couch and screeching at how relatable it is
>10/10 Saints Row is back with its witty humor and biting social commentary
>glitches? sure there's a lot, but they'll patch them out later 🙂
Lol the games just not for you stop b***hing and go play some boomer shit
Well, that's what everyone did
I would, but I've got so much RENT and STUDENT LOANS to pay that I can't afford them with my UNDERPAID CORPORATE JOB!
If it's not for me then who is it really for?
Where's your audience now, Volition?
I have a game for you to play
20 million copies sold in year one minimum.
return home to Saints Row (2006)
Why is Saints Row 1 so goddamn comfy?
Even the bugs had soul
Based. Emulation will truly save Saints Row games. Volition cucks have already memoryholed the SR2 patch.
I even hope the rpcs3 guys restore the coop mode, just like they have restored the online mode for demon's souls and 3rd strike fight for the future.
I'm getting filtered hard by the rollers mission Escort Service.
It feels like it's a dice toss because sometimes the AI are complete aimbots that will zap the target's health before I can do shit about it
and the final truck always gets fricked up no matter how quickly I reach it
I bum rushed the final truck and just got out of the car used the shotgun on them. By quickly getting out and running into the middle of them they started shooting me instead.
Hopefully this piece of shit company goes broke, their plan is complete global consolidation and they deserve to fricking die.
Frick Sweden and frick embracer
i am so sad this game flopped all over the place flop flop flop yes so sad what a shame goodness gracious ;-;
Saints Row can die. I don't give a frick anymore.
Even if they put a new leadership in charge and unpozz it somehow - which they never would - the games would still be broken clunky ass garbage. Just like everything AAA these days.
I will just play Yakuza/Like A Dragon for my silly crime gangster fix.

shut up moron. i dont care what you think or believe but all posts that long are bad
Saints row was a failure even shitposters dont make threads about it. What a waste of time and money.
The people who like the new saints row seem to only really be into the deep character creator and don't really give a shit about the gameplay.
Maybe they should just roll that shit into a new agents of mayhem and re-reboot saint's row. There, everybody gets what they want.
It just might make sense not to buy games you dont like compared to endlessly b***hing about them in Ganker
I never buy any of these games
because one doesnt change shit if you already bought the game or if majority of people do in fact like the game game no matter whatever opinion you have.
You can spam the living shit about a game having big ol anime tiddies or having a gay black protagonist, but if the majority of people buy it matters for shit. Money majority of times dictates what video games get made, specially with big budget games.
I meant why not skip buying it and still b***h about it. You know, like Ganker does for literally every game already, including this one. Like I have no idea what makes you think there's a single person in this thread who spent money on it.
>hink there's a single person in this thread who spent money on it.
I would like to believe that but there are enough threads hyping shit up or morons buying into the idea of pre-orders it wouldn't surprised me.
Without fail, this image is always associated with the shittiest posts.
Good.
duh, no shit. Nobody will buy your game when your roster is Asian Guy, Dyke, and Steve Urkel.
Haters gonna hate
>"faithful to our previous games"
hahaha nice one volition
"no large changes"
And people actually preordered this shit
There's "diversity" and then there's "forced diversity"
>uh sweetie, its ALWAYS been diverse, chud
this is my favorite new meme phrase
The series was always diverse, though. Forced diversity is not a real thing.
The game's problems include (but are not limited to)-
>Blatantly unfinished
>Combat has no weight or satisfying impact
>Worse graphics than games from 2006
>Barely any pedestrians or cars on the road
>Story written by manchildren and womanchildren with no life experience or self-awareness
It has nothing to do with politics. The old Saints games were actually more diverse than the reboot, but they were, y'know, good, so no one gave a shit.
yes thats what i was getting at. its not about the diversity, its about the game being terrible and unfinished. of course a game about street gangs and criminals is going to be diverse.
>let's make the game diverse ! like we did with julius, lin and piercy.
>No actually let's make our new saints "relatable", like hipsters or some nonbinary millenial leftists at an antifa rally and let's make them fight ze ebil capitalism because of muh student loans
gee, I wonder why the story was so bad
they made the mistake of making the characters the most moronic stereotypes available. the story could have been fine if it was plotted a little differently
>be post college grad
>no jobs cuz all the politicians shipped them overseas
>local factories are shut down
>have to support a family/want a future for yourself
>turn to crime to support yourself and your family
see how easy that is?
yeah still seems moronic to me even if it makes a little more sense
maybe they could have done someting about a massive debt the protag has to repay or struggling to put money together to pay for a ransom because one of the rival gangs kidnapped his sister/brother
point being their idea of a "story" was garbage.
>what is reading comprehension
i didnt say i think youre witty, im saying that you think you are witty. you can tell by the way you post
>but they were, y'know, good, so no one gave a shit
thats what these israelite execs keep forgetting, the "good" part. movies and games and media have always been pretty diverse, you just never noticed because it wasnt forced down your throat, it was at least entertaining and sometimes even well written.
I bet there are no people left who were working on previous games.
Saints Row reboot is LITERALLY a worse game than agents of mayhem was on launch with all the bugs included. It's also less diverse and less fun to play.
No shit sherlock
I'm gonna keep saying it for the next 10 years like a nuclear powered turn table with a bad needle.
Get used to it
Nobody played Agents of Mayhem so his statement is not in the slightest obvious.
>No one has rebooted like this before
oh god this is so fricking ironic
What did they fricking expected? This was the cringe on the level of Video Game Awards featuring people twerking and making Minecraft jokes. Neither older or younger audience could stomach modern millenial humor.
The review score was destroyed
So the patch for SR2 will not be published?
Still being worked on.
>Le cringe nonbinary cyberpunk neko femboy pfp
> SR reboot dev crew
yeah sounds about right
I know this guy, and he is just a modeler. Look like embrace just lied to the dying guy.
So was Idol. Modders have experience working on the SR2 code so they're unironically the best people to be working on the patch.
Although Idol did get some advice from the original devs while he was still working on it.
There is a 100% guarantee they are going to patch out all the offensive content.
Lmao how did these idiots have actual expectations for this trash
Everyone who laid eyes on it knew it would flop hard as frick
>It keeps happening time after time
>Companies continue to piss of their audiences by making poozed products nobody want
Why though? I know people say BlackRock investments, but they can't possibly cover the amount of money companies keep losing or leaving on the table, including killing money making franchises as a whole.
It just doesn't make sense from a business perspective, because even if you think those investments are the real deal, it is simply is too shortsighted and bound to backfire eventually.
market research for video games is currently overwhelmingly influenced by twitter. of the single-digit percentage of people who use twitter, a further single-digit percentage of that is responsible for the majority of content. this content is, overwhelmingly, through both formal website policy and informal social pressure, pozzed.
it's the same idea as "we want the call of duty audience" from the previous decade, except even more out of touch (at least call of duty was a real game people bought).
also keep in mind that the vast majority of video game developers are themselves tapped into pozzed culture. making a game that could be seen as going against it is an actual risk social suicide for anyone living in san fran, chicago, and such.
>make game a complete parody of it's former self
>act surprised when it bombs
Fricking incompetent morons, I really hop volition just goes under already so they can no longer soil the SR franchise.
So when is Embracer gonna shut down Volition? It's clear these frickers have zero idea about developing shit people actually like. No talent left.
>Nahuali "joins" the saints
>He's nothing like the other losers in the group
>Enjoy his character
>Of fricking course - he backstabs you and turns out to be the twist villain.
Fricking hell, if only this game gave me a choice to get a "bad ending" by siding with him, this game would've been redeemable
But no, being a badass cowboy mobster is le bad
But being a drain on soceity who sings karaoke and b***hes about capitalism despite becoming a multimilionaire who owns the oxygen you inhale is le good
frick this shit game
Someone made a theory that Nahuali is supposed to represent the old Saints row fanbase and that Volition is killing off the old saints row
___ ___, ___ ___.
GO EPIG, GO BROKE.
Just remove all people that work for you from twitter. Get rid of community managers and all people that don't contribute to the actual game. Then they won't tell the fans not to play the game and that the game is not for them.
I've got a better idea: Don't hire people who use Twitter. There are only four prevalent types of users on there: company representatives, artists (check to make sure that their accounts are art-focused), Karens, and communists. The latter two like it because it's the perfect format for their half-thoughts, made all the better by the fact that anyone with anything interesting to say faces bans and suspensions. They can just yell "This is fascism!" all day, and the short character limit discourages anything more than a he-says-she-says response.
Also, move your company off of Twitter. As I just stated, the main demographics of Twitter users who are entirely on the consumer side are part of a broke lunatic fringe.
>Hey, we're doing a reboot of a somewhat popular franchise
>But let's make sure to alienate all the existing fans
Why even bother with an existing franchise in the first place?
>Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors has expressed his disappointment in the reception of Saints Row
Were they expecting this to become the next streamer meme game or in what kind of reality could this make enough money to warrant what they spent on it?
No matter what woke trannies or apologetic consumers say or anyone on any side says. The reboot is literally complete trash and the worst game in the series.
No way. WOW. It failed expectations...? Wow. I wouldn't have seen that coming, really. WOW. Fricking no way. Saints Row Reboot failed expectations. FRICK. Is there anything that remains sacred in the world? And now I heard it'd make the future of the franchise under "evaluation"?
Oh god. Oh fricking god. Who would have thought. I'm sorry, I'm literally speechless there. WOW. Can't talk about it, my brain is still processing that shocking revelation.
American devs are literally making games with Twitter mentality and we're gonna have a game market crash if this keeps happening
stop being delusional, it is not going to happen, market will only crash when out whole civilization collapse.
Delusional
At least we still have the Saint's Row 2 patch to look forward to, right?
I didn't bother reading the thread but the game is not even out on PC yet. Try as you might, all this tortanic shit is pure cope.
>B-but Timmy's store...
No one cares about Timmy's store. That's facts. The game will come out on Steam, it will be top seller for at least a few days to a week, and all this culture war bullshit you morons are larping about won't matter one bit.
Go outside. Play games. Why bother cheering for another disaster that won't materialize? Sad life!
Sometimes, people have higher values than sitting in their bedroom naked playing video games. Like good storytelling. Or good characters. Or a game without game-breaking bugs being thrown at you every five minutes. Or talent. Artistry. Gameplay. Humor. Good taste. Call it whatever.
I know you seem to value being peaceful, not making wave, and being defenseless over all the above, but fortunately not all people are like you. I say "fortunately" both because you're a waste of space, and you're making society objectively worse, by being a waste of space.
I wish you a good day.
Clearly you weren't a Saints Row fan then because the series never had any of that shit. Almost like you were taking an imaginary high ground to try and not appear like a moron!
Better luck next time.
>muh tortanic
Get Shazam'd GRANDPA.
ResetEra is really fuming over this game being a failure
The franchise was literally fricking done with 4, even the Gat spinoff was unnecessary and shit. And compared to the turd that is the remake of 1 it's still a masterpiece.
So how badly is ResetEra going to seethe? How long do you think they’ll seethe?
>release bad entry in beloved series
>it flops because it's bad
>a bunch of 60 year old men decide this means the entire IP is finished if for no other reason than to punish the consumer for failing to consoom
getting real tired of this shit. it's like video games have become too big to succeed because there's such a remarkable disconnect between what regular people enjoy and what boomers think we would/should enjoy. covid didn't kill enough old people.
But in this case they're correct. Saints Row is completely dead. The OG dev team is long gone, and nobody is allowed to make anything gritty and offensive anymore.
Those 60-year-old men could allow them to make things that are gritty and offensive to Karens.
moronic, low effort doomer take. so here's your low effort response.
Yeah, at this point I would have preferred that they had worked on Freespace 3 or something, but we'll have to see if volition continues to exist after this.
>go woke, go br-
-oke. It doesn't matter if it makes 100 million dollars if you spent 100 millions plus marketing on it. Don't forget how bloated game development costs are nowadays.
blackrock will cover the difference
To an extent. You can only take so many losses as a company until the big monolith decides that they can get their ESG scores in other companies AND still make a profit.
>2m copies to break even
-oke. apparently you don't understand marketing and development costs because there is no way that will happen. MW2 is coming out and will utterly eclipse this game. It's aleady been forgotten.
>barely breaking even is what investors and publishers want
is /v getting more moronic as time passes?
It's not what anyone with half a brain wants. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why.
You spend $100k on a project (we'll assume that this covers taxes, marketing, distribution, etc.).
You spend the next year on said project.
You make $102k in revenue.
You spent $100k and made $102k, meaning that you only made $2k. Depending on other circumstances (e.g. your car broke down during business travel), you might have only turned a profit on paper.
Damn, thats not epic dude. Not wholesome waffles at all. I hate the fricking writing, if anything, watch a playthrough to marvel at what they have done with this franchise.
Volition is obviously going to get shitcanned.
Which studio under Embracer do you want them to throw the Saints Row franchise at? Maybe have the Destroy All Humans team remake 1 and 2?
remember these guys arent square enix
they actually have realistic if not downright conservative targets for their games
so if the ceo is saying this then god i cant imagine how much this garbage bombed
which is funny because its apparently the "top selling" game on egs
>which is funny because its apparently the "top selling" game on egs
Funniest part is that Volition nor Embracer get any cut of those sales until they reach the expected number of copies sold, which was already paid by Epic Games years ago, when the deal was done.
This is a lot funnier knowing they kept alienating people with those moronic Twitter posts.
B-b-but we're so brave and controversial! Millennials should be banned from ever touching any medium. I'd take zoomers over my generation that's over run with homosexuals, and cucks any day of the week.
>ceo who had little to do with SR development is giving a report to Saudi trillionaire about a game no one on Ganker played that belongs to a franchise no one cares about
Do you figure the saudi prince starts caring about the white race if you post a silly webm or something
i wonder how bad this would have been without tim's bribe money
Zach was right, who the frick wrote this trash dialogue? Why is everything "Dude, rent" or "Healthcare"? People play games to be badass criminals, not whiny millennials. And furthermore, what the hell is up with the "dude we're good guys" whipped pussy shit?
Honestly, even as fricked up as the game was, they would've gotten more sales if they hadn't turned openly hostile towards their fans and generated tons of guaranteed no-buys and shittalkers.
Dumb social media managers all think they're going to be the next freckle b***h account, and wind up costing sales instead.

The EGS rating system is so moronic that it vastly inflates review scores.
well you know something is wrong when you can't click on any of the things to see details and have to go find a github page to get any sort of useable data
Reminds me of when I was house-hunting and the town I ended up living in was one of those nice places listed on like "Top 50 best small towns to live in America" type of thing. And they were listing out the pros and cons for every town on there. What this town had listed on the "cons" that it LOST points for was "lack of diversity." I was like OH NO. The author had to either have been an absolute dyed in the wool libtard who truly believed that or a rare troll.
lmao exactly
this town is in the south which made it even more funny since the white people here are not libtards by and large
Funnily enough, Saints Row is literally one of the lowest rated games on EGS

Don't worry. Rather than finishing his work on SR2 PC, they'll just have the team that made this new one remake SR2, with a lot of changes to modernize it.
It’s sad the saints row the third got more respect by the devs.
I actually liked the shirtless dude, he was fun.
It's so bad my turbozoomer 17yo nephew hates it with passion.
And yet it sold more than the TLOU remake. Just how poorly did that game perform???

saints row is a cross-gen multiplat while last of us is stuck on unobtainable PS5s
This game is literally less then a month old and they're already giving it a funeral.
It's absolutely fricking over
Uhm what do you mean you don't want to play a fricking epic game about paying your fricking student loans and your fricking rent with your hilarious roommates and chosen family in tow????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>put in on gamepass.
It must suck to be a Saints Row fan,
>SR2 PC Port Forgotten
>SR3 sucks ass and it was missing all things that made SR2 good
>SR4 isn't a Saints game
>Gat out of hell is shit
>Agents of mayhem was soulless shit
SR3 is to this day the best game in the series. Cope, seethe and dilate
>He fell for the SR3 meme
There is a reason why everyone holds SR2 above it, moron. SR3 is soulless by comparison.
>everyone holds SR2 above it
>Muh bubble is the only reality!
Sad
I just take solace in the fact that Saints Row 2 had a pretty rock solid ending. Nothing after that is canon.
I spend 9 years hoping for a new saints row game, but I see now that the series is too based for CURRENT YEAR so at least I have proper closure

Its going to be interesting to see if GTA ends up following the same path tbh. Big games today seem to have the idea that pissing on their audiences and calling it rain is the way to go now.
I just wish SR3 had that Black person Dex be part of the syndicate if not the head. Would have solved a lot of problems. also not "kill" Johnny too early
Good. Snuff it out. It shouldn't have had a new one anyway.
Literally all they have to do is remaster SR2 with all the console DLC.
Keep every single mechanic as is but just upgrade the graphics to be on par with SR3/4 without giving up layered clothing and the like.
SR2 is the golden flash in the pan perfect blend of comedy and seriousness. SR3 tried to be too comedic and failed. However SR4 went full moron and it actually worked out well.
SR2>SR4=SR1>SR3>>>>GoH
>see some homosexual with broccoli hair running around in purple shooting a super soaker at people
Why the frick would anyone play this? It's not even a political thing. That just straight sucks, I don't care who you are.
He loves podcasts. That's his thing.
>Saints Row 4 was a flop
>Agents of Mayhem was a major flop
>And now Saints Rowbooted was a colossal failure.
Is Volition gonna be gone for good this time?
You say that like if any of the OG Volition crew that made that studio what it was even work there still.
I'm interested to see how GTA6 is going to go story-wise given the main writers of the series all left R*.
Sure the people are gone, like practically every other beloved studio today, but the name and the building still stand. How long will it be until that finally crumbles?
>main writers of the series all left R*.
Rupert Humphries and Michael Unsworth are still at R*.
>Saints Row 4 was a flop
Did it not sell decently? I remember a guy from there said it sold pretty good after selling 1M in a week
From what I’ve seen Saints Row 4 sold less than Saints Row 2 but more than Saints Row 1 and that was when the series started
Wonder if they fired the moron handling the game's twitter account
One of the battles that needs to be had is clarifying what normal people (not blue hairs and Bible thumpers) find offensive. For 80% of people, I can guarantee you that breasts, gore, and edgy humor fall firmly under the category of "fun". Meanwhile, things that almost everybody (I live in an internationally infamous far blue region) finds offensive, like having an explicit agenda to portray men as inept and/or evil, is labeled "socially acceptable". If the overwhelming majority of people are unoffended by the """offensive content""" and are offended by the """socially accepted content""" that """speaks for the modern person""", aren't those mislabelings?
BTW, the first step to fighting linguistic propaganda is to stop using it yourself. One of the few things that you have full control over is what comes out of your own mouth. Yes, it might mean having arguments or at least repeatedly explaining yourself, but if you can't even be bothered with that, you don't deserve to live in a free society.

This is the smartest fricking thing I have read in this board in a long while.
needed puffy pussy physics if it wanted to sell over 5 million copies
>he is confident that the game will make money regardless
imagine getting paid just to be "confident"
lmao
He’s just saying that as a warning to get his money back
It'd bad business to announce defeat before the scoreboard is settled. You'll accelerate a downfall that might have been stopped.
It's also immoral, I'd argue, since you have employees that are counting on you doing good business. Of course, the best choice that you could have made for the employees who deserve their paychecks was to not hire a single smug bluehair to your staff in the first place.
Can someone explain embracer group to me? They seemed to come out of nowhere as this huge juggernaut in gaming.
From what I understand they're an AA company who buys off IPs from bankrupt companies like THQ to make modest profits but from many IPs
So they are, in more ways than one, the modern THQ.
GET WOKE
GO BROKE
Volition should shut down for lying to a dying man and entire community and letting his final work go unfinished.
Volition is seriously the Black person of developers
It didn't have to be this way they knew what the frick people wanted and they chose to spit in our faces instead with their holier than thou attitude.
This is the main fear I have with Embracer owning so many properties now. They'll basically let studios have a free reign as sign of goodwill, and then the morons will frick it up killing franchises forever.
On the contrary, I hope they have enough frick you money to let them make more of this shit. Giving Volition free reign just shows everyone that the studio has gone to shit and should be restaffed with actually competent developers.
Came to this thread to remind everyone the lead writer is a childless binge drinking LA rapidly approaching 40 who tweets about fascism on twitter.
Bro culture made the games we love.
I can never tell if this is a case of fricking around too much or not getting enough dick to actually settle down.
both, actually.
the best media produced by a woman in the last twenty years was Harry Potter. look at JK Rowlings bio and go from there
I would face frick the SHIT outta her.
Probably only does BBC though.
Has "the look"
She really does have that 10,000 wiener stare
>10,000 wiener stare
that's also her all dolled up, and she still looks haggard as frick
>Has "the look"
The JAP look?
If you're wondering why the game is so trash they put a literal wine aunt in charge of writing the jokes
If they didnt make the main characters insufferable I would have been more forgiving that the game play is pretty shit.
thats the fricking worst is that even if they somehow patch the game to not be ass it'll still be outright unplayable because the writing is just awful
Who was the target audience for this game Ganker?
it was made in case the leftist strawmen made by right-wing webcomic artists came to life
homosexuals and troons get the rope
Just goes to show how out of touch CEOs like Lars are with their target audience. It's not the series' fault that the game sucks, it's your fault for greenlighting a game with a bunch of cringe dialogue and janky controls.
>College kid loses his job
>Mandatory depression level
>Gets together with a bunch of his friends to try and be "Gangsters"
>they're all shit at it because, I mean, fricking look at them.
>Maybe the MC has a knack for it but that's it.
>They need a mentor or a guide of sorts.
>Character emerges from the shadow
>Johnny Gat.
Just fixed 50% of your game.
>johnny emerges
>caps all of them there and then
>"Who was that?"
>"i dunno mate"
>boss emerges next
So what happened to that Huzzah shillgay bastard? Did he neck himself after finding out that Volition/Embracer scammed him?
That was all just ironic shitposting bro
>sr1 will never get remastered or released on modern platforms
>sr2 guy working on fixing it fricking dies, volition decides to let his work rot away
Could have made a couple easy millions for less effort than it would have taken to make this shit game. Now the franchise is gonna get wiped because of it. Bravo!
>Make game for Twitter gays.
>Blown away that twitter gays prefer to tweet about games, than actually play games.
It is as if boomers are completely disconnected by what society does.
and water is wet
gays lesbos, weak white men ruining gaming take 500
We did it Saints rowsisters, we bullied a dev into early retirement and bankruptcy .
