experience was enjoyable and more than occasionally frustrating: At times it feels like Volition is on the cusp of a breakthrough in both social commentary and open-world game mechanics, while at other times it feels like it’s upholding the status quo. I love the new cast of characters and what they represent to marginalized community members who will play this game, and the story is compelling enough that I persevered in the face of some irritating bugs.
While the series has always stood in the shadow of’s cynicism for gonzo humor and earnest character portraits. While never as rich or mechanically satisfying asmore than makes up for it with a pitch-perfect balance of comedy and compelling storytelling. That is, if you can actually play it without game-breaking bugs.” — Danny Loregames, you will probably like this one, and if you’ve never played one, this is a decent onboarding point.
Let them trash it. Meanwhile, I’m having a blast playing it.
It’s not a revolutionary amazing genre defining game, so they thrash it. Critics are not consumers. I just played a mission as a LARPer. It was hilarious. Crappy performance is true tho, but that’s not gonna ruin my fun
Should have given it 6 months more
Yet those who actually play it are having a good time. This was “the one” where reviewers all gave themselves an industry wide greenlight to trash the game in masse.
Hated every Saints Row UNTIL this one. Having a blast with it!
Same post again?
If you are a gamer you shouldn’t listen to them anyway. As if someone reviewing tons of games for a living has a clue about what you personally like. Look at metacritic Their scores and user-scores often diverge
People are forgetting how buggy the previous games were, particularly 2 and that was the best one. So far it’s not bad. It’s not 2, but thankfully they abandoned that mess that was 4. The charm of SR has always been how ridiculous it was.
Bought it as saints fan, really wanted to love it... it's bad and the bugs are the least of it's problems. The 'gang' being all brunch friends is cringe, the voice acting is awful and the gameplay takes too much from Agents of mayhem which is their worst game...until maybe now.
Is the dildo bat back in service?
You literally used this headline like a week ago🤦♂️
Except for gameinformer who rated it much higher than ANY OTHER major gaming outlet, then immediately ran a sponsored tweet promoting it! I will NEVER trust GI’s ratings again!
Garbage game
well fucking deserved
How it started...
Yet I’m seeing people have fun with everywhere I look.
That's because it's bad
Who could imagine that?
Because it’s the literal exact opposite of what every fan wanted
AeroGD got anymore terrible memes for us
Yeah I play a few hours myself and unfortunately it's as if you took an ounce of whiskey put it in 8 oz glass and then filled the rest with water.
Given that it was released on five different platforms (six including Google Stadia), with each of their own unique glitches, it didn't really help the developers.
Why tweet this again?
deserved
luckily that doesn't matter
This game is absolutely awesome and funny as hell even with the minor technical issues. I'm assuming the day 1 patch ironed out some issues, so I say screw the haters and enjoy it like the other Saints games
'What if we made saints row, but for kids who whine about online bullying?'
Personally I wasn’t all that impressed with the gameplay it looks like fortnights style graphics and I hope the story is good atleast
Omg it’s another cyberpunk 2077
i think it’s a great game
What kind of weapons are in this game? If there isn't something like a dubstep gun, or a dildo bat... then this is NOT truly a Saints Row game at all.
Did these fools even stop to think about asking the former SR players or anyone in the gaming industry about their (dumb) ideas? I mean it's not all that hard to figure out what made the previous games awesome, and just iterate on that and do it better/modern/extra.
60 on Metacritic is trashed?
I thought that was fortnite 💀
The game fucking garbage boi
Exactly what it deserves. Piss poor excuse for what was once a brilliant franchise.
I really don’t care what others think as long as I like it that’s all that matters
I've just been blocked by BigSliceGaming Came across one of his latest tweets where he was petting himself on the back for getting his first game under his belt. Right before he blocked me I checked the bio: QA Analyst... Seriously, and you're gloating with your accomplishment?
volition is over
I'll buy this in about 3-years time when the GOTY edition that includes everything is on sale for less then a tenner on Steam and the more annoying bugs have been ironed out. That is all.
No one has mentioned it’s rockstar fault because of the first one and it was such a good game too which had a great series I bet if it wasn’t for that lawsuit
I'm surprised you didn't say its being trashed by 'trolls' that's the normal excuse people give it
Games are ass now because they are mainstream lol. Back when gaming was a niche thing that no-one except the outliers did, games were good. Original COD MW2 and 3, older battlefield, postal... games were games back then. Now they are sold a product that needs to be (1/2)
Waiting for this to be free on EGS or available on PS Extra/Premium or Game Pass lmfao this is a shitshow
Think I'll stick with the remastered saints row the 3rd. Looks pretty good on ps5.
It’s woke garbage. Just like your website 😊
It's in the title, it's supposed to cause a row XD
The other thing you will notice is most game reviewers like kotaku love the woke stuff. So they won't bring it up in reviews. Wait for users for that.
They made a game kotoku should love. A game for twitter users who don't buy games. SR should be a no brainer but they managed to alienate the only people who mattered the ones who actually buy it.
Yeah because it's fun to clown on SR. Go try it for yourself. There are tons of movies and games that I enjoyed even tho critics gave them low ratings
Has any Saints Row game been great? It was always a wannabe more over the top version of GTA and Crackdown. Fun for a minute and then always forgotten.
DemonxSlayerFan I disagree with the critics. I've only played about a half hour, but I'm having a blast. It's better than I expected!
As is should
Can't wait for the Sisi Jiang article where she says that the mean reviews are a personal attack on her (and her games journalist friends)
😂
Whats wrong with it
I'm loving it. Better than gta any day of the week.
So far it's pretty solid.
Because it sucks lol
I almost bought this one glad I dodged it. I seen someone doing a walk through this morning and it didn't live up to the hype.
Poor performance and small map with bugs, lack of things to do and probably enterable buildings caused it to be a DISASTER.
I've watched the gameplay its no different than it was back then lol
Reading the reviews most haven't 'trashed' the game. Most are claiming how underwhelming the game is. Plus 64 is about where I and I believe most other people saw it landing. It's exactly an average game.
Was really looking forward to playing some SR and making some new gaming friends. Thanks for letting us down Devs. Guess I'll be buying that new Spiderman game instead after all. ☹️☹️☹️
I mean they are just critics...why dont we get some reviews from actual gamers.
I'm glad I didn't preorder the game. Saved me money!
Get your kool aid hair dye and your BLM flags people, GTA 6 is almost here!, pre-order now for new San Francisco DLC pack with the new hidden character 'bi-polar feminist Rachel' who is always in the mood for an argument on women's rights.
Called it
A soulless cashgrab is being trashed by critics? Next you'll tell me that Blizzard is a bad company!
Lmao the critics
I just want proper port of 2.
Lol don’t care SR4
pozzed garbage
Everything before and after 'the third' was downhill
when I see a game and gameplay that I like then I buy it. I don't give a single F about critics or user reviews, everyone is bias, especially at these times.Everyone is like 'my opinion is the most important i U shall do as I say'.SR is a dumb, mindless and fun game and i like it
We ALL knew this game was gonna flop. I am not surprised at all
What a load of BS, This game is so good will never believe reviews again cause their false !
Honestly I'd have to say it's the worst game I've played yet, it's very buggy, has horrendous writing, no substantial plot or end goal, a lifeless open world, horrible shooting mechanics and very one dimensional and cringe characters
Wow.. Whoda thunk it? 😏
It's bad I played it for hours and hours it is boring wait till it's on gamepass.
I don’t really understand the dislike towards this game. I’ll admit it ain’t the best SR, but I don’t think it’s worse than 4.
Good
I have an idea why
This shot looks like Fortnite. Terrible
The wish version of GTA
because its not edgy gangster shit, also because its cool to shit on younger gens. :/
Personally for me I love the saints rows game so don’t give too shits what the whinny little bitches say
In a nutshell, most of these reviews are, “it’s buggy, but I still enjoyed it.” One of the reviews even said, “it’s the first review, in a long time, where I finished the game, wrote the review, and went back to playing it more.” Kotaku, once again, didn’t get a review code.
When Saints Row 2 was in it's prime, I really believed it could've been GTA's competitor if not better cause it had different fighting styles and that sold the entire game for me but they decided to follow their own things.
Rightfully so.
I can’t believe this game got made while the SWKOTOR remake is in development hell already
This game is so ass 💀💀
Oh well hopefully gta 6 is good at least
Because it isn't a video game It's a woke anti men heterophobic agenda filled trash. TLOU II first tried this route and ended up a financial disaster and now this reboot. Get woke, go broke
Its not a game for critics at all. And 38 opinions are nothing. Wait for thousands of opinions who actually have fun with games, play games not for a number. Gamers decide if they like a game. Media should inform gamers. Fact. And a number attached to a game will never say sth .
i cant wait to play it :)
Knew it'd suck balls from the moment I saw the first trailer. Fortnite-colourful 'down with the kids' guff. It reeks of a game made by committee, ticking every box instead of making a game through passion for its' concept.
it is a disaster I just deleted it now and asked for a refund
It's called 'review bombing' 🤡🤣
Go woke go broke. A hearty fuck you to everyone who defended this shit when it was first announced. If they stuck to the original formula they could have made some money but they just HAD to drink the inclusivity coolaid and make a coffee shop simulator.
SKizzleAXE
It looks like a mobile game 🤮
As expected
How man games have critics called bad and I've enjoyed, can't count.
Still gonna play it, I play saints row because it's cheesy and makes no sense
Not surprised. The formula devs/publisher had was pretty easy. You have a franchise that kind of built-up a reputation as the Fast and Furious of open world sandbox genre. You have an established set of characters in the series & you decide to 'F' it all away by rebooting it.
Guess what ? I’m still buying it because Idgaf
More importantly, it is getting trashed by players too. The opinions that really matter. What happened with the critics? lol. They didn't pay for the gold review in time? lol.
I mean game looks lime a steaming pile of goat shit. Is anyone actually surprised?
I play them to he entertained. Which is the purpose of video games in General I'll still play it
Deservedly so
Probably because is a buggy mess that keeps fucking crashing
Wtf were they thinking
It’s a broken woke mess of a rushed game. Its targeting a younger demographic. None of the male voices sound masculine. If you’re a fan of The REAL Saint’s Row games you’re in for a buggy glitched mess of a time. Day 1 patch aside it’s a 5 out of 10 for me… Wait For Discount.
Knew it was a crimson red flag when they took EGS' million shekel safety net exclusivity deal.
Supporting cast looks like they would make tic toc videos on why the opposing gangs should be canceled
We all know that by miles the game was going to flop, still don’t know what a waste on money in this game
I read the article - they reviews seem maybe mixed, but with a lot of critics saying that had fun. Am I misreading something here?
They sucked all the over the top characteristics that made saints row unique.
Shocking
That is what happens when you make your game look more like Fortnite. Fortnite graphics is like Big Mouth animation, its shit but too many hacks use it and it ruins everything!
This honestly looks really fun. Im definitely getting it!
Maybe they should just have made Freespace 3 instead?
The least surprising news I've heard all day.
Shame looking forward to it. Wanted something silly to play
Hehe.. I approve. I loved Saints Row. GTA but not serious.
Saint's Row without Johnny Gat? No thanks.
Looks like a ps3/360 game
Not surprised.
I don’t doubt it. I remember playing Saints Row the third and absolutely hating it. The story, gameplay, and mission objectives were abysmal.
Anyone else old enough to see saints row as the go-bots to GTA?
Pretends to be shocked.
Because its... well, TRASH
Boomers that used to play lemmings and tetris
Is anyone surprised?
well luckily critics don't matter
The most damming thing I’ve seen about SR 2022 is that it thinks it’s still 2011. SR3 had it time, but when Gat out of hell came out the SR bit was getting old. So doing more of the same but in a buggier state in 2022. That just doesn’t cut it.
Not really surprised. Didn't look anywhere near as good as the 3rd and 4th. Looked as underwhelming as 1st and 2nd was.
You mean 'some critics', voicing their views about their game, giving their opinion. Play the game yourself.
W
Because it's shit.
Because...
Well that’s what happened when you tried to shove your woke trash
I felt like it being Epic Exclusive was a big red flag that they're not confident in their release quality, so I'm not surprised.
Don’t listen to the one sided critics. A few patches and this game will run and play great. If you like the last two saints games you’ll enjoy this one after day one issues get resolved
Imma just play 4 again
DreamcastGuy gave one of the better, level headed reviews and actually went in depth at the activities and mission structure of the world. It seems like the top reviewers had a “bad game quota” they needed to meet before years end and SR pulled the short straw. Hyperbole
is it ACTUALLY bad or are these 'critics' people like OneAngryGamer and some guy on youtube in a fedora who's constantly huffing Jordan Peterson's balls
I don't think the developers will survive after this game. Haven't had a successful game in a while.
even the third is better. Another disappointment for the gamer world. When will they actually deliver what they promised?
They took out the multiplayer and made a generic 8 hour single player game, what a joke Saints Row used to be awesome
damn this game looks like a piece of shit i took this morning. i grew up with this franchise man i fell inlove with it when i was just a kid. why they gotta ruin it's legacy
They completely ignored the fans so it's their own damn fault. Next time maybe listen to the people who pay your bills. But I do like a great shitshow like this.
It's true this game is so many bugs I feel Scam like cyberpunk 2077
good
It's a buggy, repetitive, boring, and complete mess of a game. I'm not surprised by this lazy garbage dump of a game.
Because it’s woke sjw trash
That's, so absolutely crazy. Who woulda thought Not me. Certainly not.
thats bad news, but ı believe still.
🤣🤣🤣
Damn that’s a surprise
Sucks especially knowing this was volitions last chance really. Especially after barely surviving the flop that was agents of mayham
Put it on Gamepass I’ll play it
Hope the studio won't collapse. Ivstill have good memories of previous saint rows.
Don’t forget about me and everyone else on Twitter. It’s fun to trash a game hahahaha
I mean they haven’t been great since three lmao
and rightfully so.
I wish they would have just remade the first two games.
No way ? I wasn't expecting that AT ALL !
