Saints Row is terrible (Review)

Outdated in every aspect from its open world design to its core gameplay, riddled with game-breaking bugs, absent any sort of coherent plot and starring an insufferable cast of characters, the Saints Row reboot is a disaster.

I remember someone saying "These Saints look like people the old Saints would bully." after screenshots of the characters were first posted a couple months back. Man they were so right.
-
People who said "the new Saints look like they hang out at Starbucks and complain about their student loans" when the game was first revealed are going to have an absolute field day because they were completely right.
-
In the first game, the Saints were formed by Julius after watching his city being torn apart by gang violence, and watching his best friend become no better than the gang-bangers they were fighting against. In this game, the Saints are formed because... the founders didn't like student debt and middle managers. What an embarrassment.
-
“Becoming a gang to pay off student loans.” Sounds like a one off joke someone would say from Saint’s Row 3.
-
I love living in an age where everything I used to love is dug up out of a grave and forced to exist for the sake of corporate greed and lack of original thought in the larger industry
-
Volition has seemingly managed to create a game that can't be marketed to anyone
-
Imagine how much better this game could've been, if during the gangs naming scene, when they are standing around in the church; all of a sudden, a fucking portal opens (kinda like terminator style) killing the new cast in entirety and out pops Gat, Shaundi, Pierce, Kinzie and the Boss and the first thing we hear is the Boss saying "Where the fuck are we Kinzie?" That's the kinda shit you'd expect from a Saints Row game.
-
When a gangster turned president fending off aliens with his superpowers is more realistic than the cast of this game.
-
This feels a lot like "How do you do, fellow kids?" the game.
-
I mean yeah, credit where credit is due, the reveal for the game sent us all a clear message: "This game is gonna be really bad, we haven't listened to you guys for over 10 years, we're not starting now". And indeed, they delivered on that message.
-
What I found very strange about this game was that they literally didn't do ANYTHING new and yet somehow messed it up. How? Why?
-
I knew this was going to be bad when the developers started saying they wanted to move away from the previous games wacky, edgy, and over the top humor, and wanted to appeal to ‘modern day,’ sensibilities. That assumption was confirmed when the first mission had supposedly hardened criminals fretting over student loans.
-
Starting the final mission without realizing it was the final mission must've been the best part of reviewing this game.
-
This was expected. The writing sounded terrible in every single preview. The narrative sounded so lame and so unrealistic. No surprise here. Its like the writers gave themselves a challenge of who among themselves can write the most lifeless characters and they picked that story
-
Saints row 2022 : "CaN wE TaKE A hyBrId? yOUr caRbON foOtPrINt alWaYS maTTeRs" GTA 4: "After you walk into a village and you see 50 children, all sitting neatly in a row, against a church wall, each with their throats cut and their hands chopped off, you realize that the creature that could do this doesn't have a soul."
-
Character: wants to overthrow capitalism Also character: wants to be a successful entrepreneur. Lmao. This is actually realistic writing.
-
Remember when the Twitter account was telling people "No game has been rebooted like this before". Well they were partly right I guess, I can't think of another series that has gotten a full reboot that missed the mark this much. EDIT : The subtitles of the Middle Managers speech do not match the spoken dialogue. Lord.
-
I will never understand why modern writers will try to force us to like characters that are just nasty and unpleasant
-
The line about the creators assuming that you already like these characters is soooo like the modern comics.
