This was Volition's chance to shine. The perfect time for them to give us a new urban open world. GTA 6 is still far off. Many people (including me) are worried about its direction. This reboot could've sealed the deal for SR to get back into the fight and be a strong rival against GTA. If they had hit this out of the park, this franchise would've gone strong even into the future. Instead we got this. And as a big fan of SR to the point of jokingly saying I'm "representing" with a friend whenever we wear anything purple in other games or even in real life, I am absolutely disappointed. I don't see the Saints coming back from this one. Maybe as a mobile game or a skin in Fortnite, who tf knows.

[@chalkyplays5776]

I despise this game with an unbelievable passion, they could’ve made a game that re-defined a genre that has grown stagnant and instead ruined literally everything from the original series instead of even trying to make improvements. This series is unfortunately dead in the mud and it’s sad that it’s the truth. If they just took a look at other series such as the Yakuza series to learn how to balance seriousness with craziness alongside taking the core gameplay of older SR games and expanding upon that alone and we would’ve had an amazing reboot. Alas, this isn’t the case and never will be. SR4 was the last decent SR with the last great being SR3. Such a waste of a great series.

[@Karionyte]

this broke my heart. I also say i'm reppping when I wear purple. SR is why it's my favourite colour. I grew up with fun whacky gmeplay where my OC makes goofy one liners and roasts the shit outta people. I miss SR so much. I hate knowing this is the end of the only true GTA competition.

They got Saints Row, one of the wildest stories in any series, with insane over the top characters and lowbrow over the top comedy, and gave them to a team of hipster college students. It's all that needs to be said. I loved Saints Row 3, it was a very fun sandbox game to play for a while between games without having to spend a lot of time thinking, and, the best I can hope for this game, is that maybe, one day, Saints Row will go back to that formula, be good, and make fun of this piece of digital trash.

[@mr.voidout4739]

What they don't get is that the series was founded on a fundamental. Telling a gripping story with cinema-worthy writing and directing, while giving the players the offerings and freedom to do more absurd things outside of the storytelling. Things started to take a turn when they decided that blending some of the absurdity to buff-up story plots and sequences was the way to evolve the series. 3 still told a decent story, but was executed in bombastic ways that felt like they belonged outside of it. 4 went south as a Saints Row. There was some series closure in the (sprinkled) main story missions, but the overall plot just murders the fundamental storytelling. Now we have... what can only be described as something Shaundi Pierce and Gat would be watching on TV until Gat had enough and shot the TV.

Right? This is what Saints Row had over Grand Theft Auto: the true freedom to be totally unapologetic and truly satirical in its references to popular culture and the state of the world during its time. It was always a satirical parody of the times, not ever a "gangster simulation". Even GTA comes nowhere close to being a gangster sim. For those who expected it to be, you have Mafia and The Godfather to experience true organised crime in all of its video game glory. The reboot is satirical, absolutely, and it does make fun little jokes when it's being self-aware. However, it's too safe. Saints Row is no longer unapologetic (they abbreviated Freckle Bitch's diner and renamed Rim Jobs to Jim Rob's, like bruh) which is where Volition lost me.

But the game had personality from the cribs and personalization to the fighting styles (why don't more games let you choose how you fight anymore) and the villains of the game and even one of side characters were extremely fleshed out and perfectly executed.

As a kid I loved playing Saints Row games. The amount of hours I’ve put into the Saints Row franchise is actually concerning. Mainly Saints Row 2 because that game is a literal masterpiece. So when I heard a new Saints Row came out guess what I did? I pre ordered the game about a month before release. I even put the custom Saints Row background on my PS4 because I was so excited to feel that rush of joy and happiness I felt as a kid while playing Saints Row. Then. The game comes out. Before I play it I look at the reviews on KZbin and other platforms. Everyone was saying it was the worst game they’ve ever played, that it was so boring they’d rather shove their dick in a toaster. I didn’t believe them. I thought “No way. You can’t mess up Saints Row” (aside from Gat out of hell)….. and then. I played it. And oh my god the sadness and anger I felt seeing what my favorite franchise as a kid had come to. I couldn’t play for more than 2 hours. I uninstalled the game before the day even ended. This game is so bad I’d rather get punched in the face by Mike Tyson than play this game from beginning to end. Thank you this was my TED Talk.

Saints Row 4 was the perfect send-off. it was funny, gameplay was engaging, it balanced being superpowered without making the president OP, and most importantly, it had good characters that grounded the obviously ridiculous premise of the game. in the end, it's a bunch of friends, nuanced characters, hanging out. reboot saints don't even feel like real people, much less people i can endure interacting with in a videogame.

I won't say they were fleshed out as well as they could have been, but in the case of SR3, they were characters and not cardboard cutouts. We all love to go on about SR1 and 2. 2 for good reason but 1 had barely any characterization or purpose to some of the actions, where as everyone in two had purpose and a goal. Then SR3 built off of 2, and while not perfect, the effort was there. Then in 4 everyone got a body redesign, their personalities neutered, the plot murdered and Gat being put back in pointlessly (besides fir fans, their was no reason and it made no sense) Gat died in 3 because they needed new blood and he while an awesome character, was shown to be burnt out from the ordeal with Aisha his near death. They put him down in a way he would actually act and made it memorable, they used it to show there was stakes, a reason to take these new factions seriously. Then 4 goes, welp aliens got him before he died and he's been alive the whole time... because... ummmmmmm... hey guys it's Gat! Gat is back guys.

Worst reboot ever

[@Rozza2k]

In no other industry is there so many faulty products sent out to consumers and nothing be done about it, I don't get how many games are getting away with the way they are released. Criminal at this point and turned me off alot of franchises I use to enjoy
