This has got to be the worst reboot of all time. I can only imagine how fucking insuferable the devs must have been to create something like this.
HUZZ-
>>719401782
>We want the HR audience
>>719401782its a shame this series will staty dead forever and the only good games (1&2) are forever stuck on xbox
Don't forget how at every single reveal, the fans pushed back and those faggots had the audacity to call them "not real fans" and tell them they were wrong
>>719402162And then they proceeded to go out of businessKarma IS real
hmh i liked the game. was pretty fun
>>719402162>>719402447And with a few years hindsight, we can see how disasterous that is. It turns out that new AAA games are only 6% of the market, and "gamers" are aging out (most over 30 now). Meaning, that you already have this tiny slice, you can't afford to alienate them.The thinking was that AAA audiences will always continually grow, and this carried over from the 00s era onwards. There's always goign to be a new generation of kids, so who cares if the grumpy old fans don't care? Now it seems all the kids are playing fortnite and roblox.
>>7194021402 has a PC port but apparently it's bad.
>>719401782HATERS GONNA HATE
>>719402620Gentlemen of the Row patch fixes most of the problems.
>"don't like it? don't buy it ;)">people don't buy ityou love to see it
>>719401782THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND SO DID THE SAINTS
Good game besides the bugs.
>>719403713you don't actually believe this
>>719402619The most obvious problem is using the name "Saints Row">People who preferred Saints Row 1 & 2 weren't interested in playing characters the original Saints would murder horrifically for trying to use their name>People who preferred Saints Row 3 & 4 weren't interested in playing something that presented itself as "more down to earth" or as characters who would be collateral damage in any SR3/4 mission>People who never liked Saints Row weren't interested in buying a Saints Row gameThere was absolutely no fucking appeal to this game. Its existence is an absolute mindfuck.
WE NEED TO BE BETTER CRIMINALS
>>719401782but how does this affect you personally?
>>719404501and yet a whole team of devs got paid a salary for years to produce it.the game failing meant nothing to the majority of people who made it. this utter disconnect between produced worth and how much money was spent on producing it
>>719402001MY LIFE IS LIKE A VIDEO GAME
>>719404738it may not be this particular one but my country spends my tax dollars on subsidizing garbage video games
>>719404501Honestly new game should have just continued the absurdity of 4 with the time travel tech introduced at the end.
>>719401782i had successfully forgotten about this until you brought it up. how dare you.
>>719404738It kills the main GTA alternative, and I don't particularly care for GTA.
>>719404501I could tolerate the jump from 2 to 3 but holy shit, the reboot was like they purposefully went against everything that made Saints Row
>>719404738Vile art poisons society.
>>719404501it's pretty close to 3. like very over the top stuff, but not as crazy as 4. was fun. only real minus is that the side activities were pretty boring outside of the dustfaire
I can't believe this game failed horribly
>>719404501It was literally just a fuck you to the toxic dudebroism of the series.
>>719403835Don't believe it, the game is absolute ass and makes 4 seem like a masterpiece.
>>719406286Man 2021 feels like a totally different time now
RememberVolition closed before they could launch the SR2 PC Patch that would have made it playable on PC without requiring GOTR and pissed all over idolninja's wish soon after he died from cancer. The patch and the level editor were almost done according to playtesters but they never shipped it because volition fucking died.
>>719406481I miss when game devs/hollywood were antagonistic to the customers, daring them not to buy it. They kinda stopped doing it after they lost so much money.
>>719406596Give it a few years. I bet DICE will get cocky again if BF6 sells well enough.
>>719404501No, the game is bad on a technical level and being a brand new IP would have doomed it all the same because nobosy would have bought it on its own merits.
>>719406596Hilarious how their fucking faggotry has pushed a societal backlash to the extremes that we see today. They deserve it
>>719406783I hate the fact that BF6 will absolutley sell super hard because of the massive marketing push and the "we're so back" sentimentDICE doesn't deserve another chance, hell every swedish dev studio should get nuked out of the planet and their devs blacklisted from working anywhere, even at cafes
>>719406596The last instance of it I saw was with a Concord dev calling those heckin chuds 'talentless freaks' but it was deletedI think even the suits know better than to give the devs too much leash on social media after how these garbage games have kept flopping
>>719406929No argument from me. My memory isn't short enough to forget V or 2042 so I'm staying a way for at least 2 more games. Besides Squad and games like it are more my style nowadays.
>>719406481It's because back in 2021 we got to enjoy watching the world burn and developed a sense of comradery in a weird way. Now? The right has been completely co-opted by controlled opposition, grifters, and so on. Something changed in 2023, man.
Didn't you literally murder hobos in the second game?
I find this game fascinating. It's one of the most clear examples of a developer trying to manifest an audience that has no precedence for existing in the first place.
>>719402619>Now it seems all the kids are playing fortnite and roblox.Also, why would the kids care about an old franchise to begin with?
>>719402620Install juiced patch
