Devs asking fans for another chance, is this update enough to convince you to part with your hard earned cash or was this game’s fate sealed long ago?
Want to see a magic trick?
All you need is an open-world video game that flopped at launch and a popular subscription service with millions of gamers. And presto, you can bring a “dead” game like Saints Row (2022) back to life and make it one of the most played games on PlayStation.
Because no one is stupid enough to spend their own money on the game I imagine, so they will try it for free and then realise they still over paid.
The game is garbage. I spent probably 4-5 hours trying to like it. Telling myself give it a break its trying to break away from the norm and be a little fun. After that it just got deleted I'd rather have the SSD space ready for upcoming games.
But this agenda that keeps getting pushed about how the game is suddenly good because of how many people have now played it. Just shows how stupid the industry is. It's just been given away as a free game, of course people are going to download and play it. The consensus however is quite clear that the majority deleted it shortly after.
This was not a win for PS+ and not a win Saints Row either, far from it.
It wasn't good I played it on plus as a fan of the original games I watched the things go from bad to worse for the reboot so getting to play it on plus was interesting and it just wasn't good I did give it a chance I invested around 10 hours total before giving up.
it didn't update any mechanics to feel like a modern game it felt like a wave shooter in a lot of areas it didn't offer a real challenge but above all that talk about cringe it was to much I tapped out at the half way point.
Graphically it looked like a early PS4 game putting it nicely but the animations were ripped straight from 3 e.g. throw a grenade same animation cycle and that was a constant. So that made the game look like a fan mod. The world design felt like a step back getting around was slow and tedious.
The story was uninteresting and cringe Incan forgive more than most but I didn't need my gangster game to be an after school special on the power of friendship they couldn't rip on each other a little it was always I'm here for you type phrases who the hell was the games target audience.
I'd be kicking myself if I actually paid for it.
Saints Row The Heist and The Hazardous DLC has been dated and a launch trailer is expected to be released on the same day.
Even though I didn't hate the game as much as others, I honestly have forgotten about it until just now.
Deep Silver Volition writes: "We know we’ve been promising new content for Saints Row, and we’re delighted to finally be able to tell you we have DLC expansions launching in May, July and August of this year.
Together, these DLC packs will add new campaign missions, gameplay, weapons, vehicles, cosmetics, and more across both new and well-travelled parts of Santo Ileso. You’ll be able to buy these expansions separately, but if you own the Expansion Pass they’ll be yours when they launch.
Two of the packs will be expansions to the main Saints Row campaign (with all new missions set in all new city districts), following the continuing adventures of the Saints and their enemy factions. And one pack will introduce an all-new solo game mode experience within an (even more) twisted version of one of our favorite areas of Santo Ileso…
We can’t wait to show you more on these very soon."
You know, I appreciate them working on extra content for any game someone puts on the market, but this game is long time buried at this point. Hell, the series is even.
Cool. I'll get the complete edition of this game on sale for under $10 eventually.
Atleast they are supporting this “thing” lol rockstar never even supported gta 5 or red dead’s 2 single player dlc potential lol
Like I've mentioned before, they can keep this "Life is Strange: Gangster Edition" cringey shit to themselves. More doesn't mean better....they destroyed the series with characters the original Saints would have enjoyed beating to a pulp
I forgot this even came out and I bought it…. Unfortunately as a pre-order.
Maybe, I'll admit even after all the backlash I still have a passive interest in it. The kind where I'd jump on buying it if I had $20 to burn and I spotted it in that budget. But if the overhaul is good enough I'll re-evaluate buying it
Needed overhaul after 3. Three was good but they were never going to push it past that. Four was dumb. They needed to focus on quality and becoming grounded then ramp the wackiness. The recent Saints Row wasn't it.
Rebooting the reboot? Offer up a demo/free weekend. Not just the character creator this time.
I have heard that somewhere
The game's characters and story are so trash. You shouldn't have made them like fortnite characters. You made your bed, now lie in it. Saints Row 2022 is dead to me. I don't care what they do to it
