    How to spit on the face of your fanbase? How to go against what made the OG franchise great in the first place? How to try and adapt the modern far left lunacy and identity politics in video game format? Just make this abomination with awful charaters, awful story, poor gameplay and full of bugs

    Ok so I'm going to keep it realistic,this game should be alot more fun but all the bugs,voice acting and graphical issues ruined this game.Its not a 0 but it's far from a 10 far far far from a 10 so I gave it a 4.

    Too much preco was not delivered. Just DeepSilver's charade of making the pc game release exclusive on their platform 4 hours before delivery, to sell Notorious packs at $90 has put me off.
    I was able to test the game for a few hours on Ps and it calmed my hype.
    I put a zero point to DeepSilver and a place in my list of game publisher to boycott. I'm fed up with all their ****

    I really hope people really read the negative comments because this is worse than cyberpunk 2077s launch. At the least, 2077 had a great story and devs actually poured effort in. Anyone praising this game has no knowledge of past saints titles, likes low quality games or is a troll and/or casual.

    Us saints row fans asked volition to listen to us, to go back to the og sr1-2 roots and actually make a decent game, the devs told us to go away.
    This game is broken, lacks depth with npcs, cant rob stores, the vehicles undersides look WORSE than a 2008 game.
    They went to massivly appeal to tik tok gen z and this backfired massively and this is politics aside.
    The saddest part is, santo ileso the city has so much potential, the desert has potential, the car damage models are amazing (scratched paint marks etc)
    but all the minor positives are massively overtaken by all of the negatives. and boy oh boy the game is 99% abysmal at best.
    when will game companies understand majority of gamers want old school games and quality, gen z just wants fortnite low quality dopamine hits. and dopamine hit games flop.

    edit- i still cannot get myself to even complete the game, i have been gaming since 1998 and ive had my fair share of bad games, and you as a gamer can tell if the devs put in some love, soul and effort in a bad game, i can overlook alot in a bad game and still find some hope and light if you will. THIS IS THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED. honestly it really is and im more sad than mad at this point because they had an opportunity to bring a classic series back to relevancy in the open world crime genre, since you know, R* milked gta v for the past 10 or so years.    … Expand

А сейчас не могу успокоиться второй день, потому что мне подсовывают "СЕРЬЕЗНЫЙ" хреновый сюжет, диалоги не понятные, геймплей не понятный , багов много, персонажи как будто подростки с оружием.

    Если во второй части концепт был крут, в третей миссия с самолетом (я до сих пор помню как рубился целыми днями). В 4 части, симуляция, борьба с пришельцами и общий веселый мир (я даже со стула помню упал потому что какая-то шутка меня взорвала), то тут ничего нет. Персонаж бегает по миру первые пару часов без какого-либо обоснования. А в сумме с теми проблемами которые есть включая малый размер карты. Сложность игры тоже смешная, на нормале в меня пулемет на машине стреляет и мне все равно.

    Я бы поставил 3 или 10 балов если бы это была Sains row, но от Sans row тут только некоторые отсылки и фишки

    It seems that Volition spent more time ensuring LGBTQ representation and arguing with fans over twitter than, oh I don't know, fixing bugs, developing a better physics engine/gameplay, halfway passable writing, or fixing the atrocious main characters.

There's just something zen about throwing yourself in front of traffic after using a mobile meth-lab as a wrecking ball in the Nevada desert. I'll be honest, I skipped almost every cutscene. The less you pay attention to the writing, the more fun you'll have. My Boss was a posh British lady and I thought she was pretty great, but the rest of the Saints were all garbage. The enemies fared a bit better, but they're just less fun versions of the SR3 gangs. t's better than Agents of Mayhem, I guess...right? Probably not, actually, but I DID finish SR22 and quit AOM in about 3 hours. Wait for a couple stability patches and a sale.… Expand

    A buggy embarrassing mess with an empty open-world ad the "villains" and protagonist look like a bunch of people who hang out at coffee shops 5 days out of the week and cry when they have to drink whole milk. They're just unlikable characters and it stings the soul when the game tries to make them seem like "heroes.
    Who is this game for anyway? Twitterazis, oversensitve SJWs? Anita Sarkeesian???

    Starting from the character creator that where not only is it there very few options to customise how you want to look but apparently there is no easy way to choose if you are male or female because that obviously offend some blue haired wack job that was never going to play the game anyway.

    All the characters in this are annoying prats that I wanted to die. There is nothing of the style, glamor or larger then life appeal that the other games in the series had. The men are either total wimps or fat lumps and none of the women are attractive.

    If you want a fun game stay away from this and go play Saints Row 3.    … Expand

    Man this one was of my favorite game franchises, I've played every game in the series. I personally think this franchise peaked at SR2, and while I enjoyed SR3 & SR4 it was the beginning of the end for Saints Row. Abandoning the tone of SR2 which balanced over the top gameplay with a gritty story, in favor the extreme over the top nature of the future games was a huge mistake.

Now the reboot is here, and it's a buggy, outdated, terribly written mess. It feels completely soulless, and objectively to me it's the weakest entry in the franchise. And don't get me started on the story and characters, they PALE in comparison to SR2. Overall, I'm concerned for the future of Saints Row there's a lot they can improve upon in a potential sequel, but that's if even sells well enough for them to make a sequel 5/10.… Expand

    Gaming in 2022 is dead. This is one of the peak games of industry greed and lazy corporations.
