Neocrisis: Has the Volition's dev team learned from the mistakes of Saints Row: The Third? Has THQ's bankruptcy and dissolution in January 2013 and its subsequent transfer over to Deep Silver, as its publisher, had a impact on this latest Saints Row installment?
Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.
Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.
I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
Juan at SwitchWatchTV got his hands on Saints Row 4 Re-elected for Nintendo Switch. Check out his review here and see what he thinks.
well ****...a 9.5
im actually expecting it to get 6/7s coz of all that dlc story
not that i want it to though
im among the minority who loved sr3 over sr2
guys if you wrote this review with a copy from Deep Silver you've broken embargo.
I don't think it deserved a 8-10 rating since it just look like Saint Row 3 with superhero power. 6 or 7 would be the best for it
