- This game is one of the soulless releases I've seen in a while and If Volition wants to blame the fans for not supporting the brand than they should look into what they developed and ask if it's worth even a few dollars. Thanks for watching!

no
SR2
yes
Ok
i was contemplating getting this game so thanks
"we are not gonna use the same comedy of the old saints rows cause it could offend people" said the developers, without even realising their own game is what offends people
Beta cucked one might say?
Go woke, get broke
go woke get broke
But it is the same comedy
It's just making fun of stuff in 2022
What was cool in 2008 isn't What's cool now
@@oliverislost ehm, no? Not at all? The writing is worse than a 2008 game, that is just wrong
Whenever a developer/publisher is attacking the fans, it’s a sign that tells me not to support the game. I don’t understand why they think they’ll sell millions of copies being disrespectful
REALLY, like, have they NOT learned from the Ghostbusters 2016 debacle? Or from "The Last Jedi"? That attacking fans of a franchise for not liking the latest installment is virtually a DEATH SENTENCE for said installment?
If their game was at least good I could understand a cocky attitude but this shitfest is completely embarrassing
Exactly
They pulled a TLOU2 move... which anyone with 1 singular braincell could have said was a bad (abysmal) move
Yup
It's like the gaming industry forgot how to make fun games...
Every game just wanna be like Fortnite nowadays… shit is ridiculous
Go check out no man’s sky I’ve been enjoying it
the AAA gaming industry forgot, the indie scene is where 99% of the fun games are now made
@@meynut8292 truth. I don't buy AAA games (except the ones that the devs deserve to get paid for like Elden Ring) and I buy many indie games
It's just soulless Western studios like Volition, EA, Activision, etc. Say what you want about Nintendo, but their games are always great and well polished. Same goes for Capcom, Konami (when they actually made games), and Namco. Japanese studios actually give a damn about their games being good.
The writers in charge of this game should be permanently banned from ever working on any game ever again.
hollywood now is filled with this shit.
Correction: It's the worst game this year so far.
Developers always find ways to amaze us.
Agreed. There are still a little under four months left in the year. Still plenty of time.
I wish X-Play bring back Golden Mullet of the year.
Indeed the year is not over...There is some potential for failure.
I am curious why developers are so bad these times. I am working on an indie project with UE5 and i will be ashamed to release game in state like SR. I rather delay release than release unfinished game.
Haha good point!
The worst part about watching the cutscenes for me is that these voice actors are in no way terrible, they just have to deliver the worst dialouge and try to make it bearable. These voice actors could have spent their time working on a decent video game or show, I actually feel bad for them
Absolutely, in fact one of the characters is voiced by the English voice actor for the main character in the judgment series and is top tier at it. Hearing him go from one of the best video games I've ever played to hearing this really... Meh dialogue just felt so off.
@@AelaMusic ohh, that's why shirtless dumdum sounded familiar. Going from chad detective to a tiktok zoomer, that's rough but at least it's a paycheck.
aint this a direct quote from charlie's moist meter?
I doubt they give a crap , no different from actors in shity shows
They got paid who cares
UTorrent, Piratebay, and other pirating sites: “Yeah, that’s a no for me dog. Not even worth getting this game illegally for free.”
I wonder if it'll be down to $5 at GameStop in a few months...
steamunlocked is the best website they update
not worth the wasted disc space
It's fun for like a hour per day ... For free ofc 😏
not worth the time to download it, even if takes minutes. looks like SR 2,3 & 4 are better
Things I've heard almost EVERY reviewer say about this game:
"Buggy and characters spawn in the wrong spots."
"Not funny and woke at times."
"An AI trained on Twitter wrote this game."
"The characters are all unlikeable and the worst written in gaming."
"The gameplay is a downgraded, worse version of Saints Row the Third."
"The gameplay is boring and the enemies are bullet sponges."
"I couldn't finish the game and only made it 15 hours in."
"The game becomes repetitive and boring after two hours."
"The city is empty and lifeless; more so than any other open world game."
"This game has more bugs than _A Bug's Life_ and should be criminal to sell for full price."
"There's no non-licensed music in the game, so if you cut it off for streaming, there's no music in the game at all."
"Saints Row 2 was the greatest of all time and this game is an embarrassment to the franchise."
"This is the worst game of the year."
Everyone is right.
Bullet sponges? 😥 I thought we were past this 😔
Game breaking bugs are one thing, but to complain about characters not being interesting I mean come on, complaining about the “woke” aspect of the game, aren’t all fps games full of bullet sponges these days? Or am wrong or is this call of duty where people like to get shot once and then rage? The biggest thing against this game is it bugs, anything else mentioned by reviewers either got them triggered, bugs can be fixed bad présentions by developers on their part, but to review bomb a game based solely on it claiming to be “woke” is another thing, some of the things you mentioned here other reviewers mentioned complete opposites, the CZcamsr also in this video seems to have jumped on the “hate” train to get more views lol, I can definitely call him out on that.
@@awesomedesign7637 yeah. Imagine saying woke unironically
I mean just listen to this CZcamsr in full, almost all his critiques are based on the writing, who buys a saints row game for the story? Look at the past 4 games all have gone from gangs to absolute ridiculous aliens that’s just saints row and you can tell either 1 people went in with the exception that we get a GTA like story.
@@awesomedesign7637
Just because you started at Saints Row 3, never played the first two, and enjoy Twitter writing, doesn't mean the rest of us are going to pay $60 for it. You can financially keep Volition afloat if you enjoy it so much, but the rest of us aren't so happy.
The idea that someone would start a criminal empire that murders hundreds of people and still remain beholden to student loan debt is beyond silly in a game full of nonsensical silliness.
Yeah that is the most ridiculous part why are you paying your student loans if you're killing people you're willing to kill innocent people in cops what does it matter
The thing is, that idea could have been funny if they just ran with some level of absurdity and didn't make it so "in your face".
Like, your character takes a single painting class to unlock new car paint jobs? That costs $50,000 right there. Or take a metalworking class to get a gun upgrade? Well that's a $100,000, doesn't matter if you only took one or two classes. Have you character make a quip about how B.S that is before going off to rob a bank to pay it off, and that is it.
You get a point across while telling a joke that has the potential to be semi-funny without over staying its welcome.
@@curnott6051 Presentation is almost as important as what is being presented, and the presentation on this seems to be dogshit
Sounds like a modern socialist’s fantasy.
@@curnott6051 even funnier is that it's a concept from a mid 00s game that they can't even apply
It's almost a cliché for devs to be super pretentious about "dunking on the haters" only for their game to suck ass
If they do that they know we know that they made hot pile of garbage but dont want to admit it.
One would think they would know better from the days of Phil Fish, but if anything the only thing they learned from him is being an annoying little twerp that hates their fanbase with open contempt.
@@crimsondynamo615 To be fair with AAA games it's rarely the actual devs doing that. Studios have marketing teams running social media, the guy programming NPC behavior is too busy programming NPC behavior to be doing marketing. When a AAA game is bad it's almost ways the fault of executives interfering with the creative process and when game trailers are bad it's because of the marketing team.
Yea Saints row devs, "we're not backing down, haters gonna hate", but they suck in the end. Another good franchise stained for good.
Yup sounds about as common as it gets for basic a** game directors that just came outta garde school thinking they gotta an A on their SATs so they have nothing left to learn
As a long time Saints Row fan, this hurts. SR2 is one of my favorite games of all time and I love it even more than all GTA games combined. I wish the games would just go back to their roots.
Fun fact, in sr2, you can gamble in the casinos. Go to the casino you went to in the ronin mission and you can use the machines. Somehow a game from 2008 has more than one from 2022.
devs getting angry at the fans is like going to your favorite pizza place and getting served with salad. then getting slapped by the waiter when you complained that it's not what you ordered.
Underrated post
Yeah. You should just be happy that you got anything in the first place. They are entitled to your money and whatever they give you is optional luxury.
This happened at a burger king to me. They gave me the wrong sandwich and the cashier snapped at me saying that people in Africa were starving.
@mr squiggles based
exactly
As someone who played through all the Saints Row games in late 2018 to early 2019, I was disgusted at how Volition treated their own fans and how they've destroyed their own creation. I hope they enjoy the massive failure they have now with no one else to blame.
Idk what they did to their fans but IMO the game looked like it was gonna fail from the start
Ong even Agents of mayhem is better and that got bland quick.
I Agree!
@jstnfc Indeed😢
It was a really dumb idea considering how unpopular the game series is.
It kills me that the lead writer for this game was picked up for Beyond Good and Evil 2. Just, why? Why is failure rewarded in this industry?
Mark of the beast lol
noooooooo
Thats life. In every corporate structure, it rewards failure.
Lol I literally downloaded this game, and my goodness I’ve never cringed so hard while playing a video game. This industry is really done imo.
look at rockstars track record tho
I think it all by design, They’re not-so slowly killing everything we love from movies to video games. One franchise at a time.
It's all these companies hiring writers to make everything feel all gentrified
only decent releases this year was dying light 2 and far cry 6 imo , i enjoyed both games
@@Six-qr5kl rockstar track record is pretty solid tho, what crack u on ?
manhunt 1-2
bully
RD
RDR2
gta 1-5 (and spin offs)
LA Noire
should i really list more great games they made ?
Remember, customers saw all these problems ahead of time and warned the creators. The creators then refused to fix anything-- they just attacked the buyers. Volition knew it was bad, and it didn't even try to make a decent game. Volition just wanted your money and expected you to give it away.
It's their blatant narcissism that makes them fuck up everytime. As long as they treat their customers like amoeba, nothing will change. It's actually not that hard to make gamers happy. Just listen to them.. It will make the game better and gamers happier.
after agents of mayhem you would think they would have learned by now
That's why they released on epic. Get as much hype as possible, get epic to give you a good sales guarantee number, and then dump a game that just barely avoids a lawsuit.
@@TurtleSauceGaming Not even good sales numbers, EPIC foots most of the bill for the exclusivity so they don't even need to try. From my understanding of it at least.
@@NEEDbacon I'm sure some do try, and some end up outselling Epic's expectations and not getting any money. Like Borderlands 3 probably did well, but ultimately, this will end the launcher
Who knew telling your fans “haters gonna hate” isn’t a good idea when your franchise is middle of the pack at best
Reminds me of the time EA said if you don't like BF5 don't buy it, and so they didn't
I just wanted a remaster of Saints Row 2. Now the series is screwed. I remember being so damn hyped for a new Saints Row game, and then I seen the trailer...
@Kavetion 🤓
@Kavetion suuure you are bud here’s a fresh baked cookie and a warm glass of milk 🥛 because you definitely deserve it
@Kavetion 🤡
Fun fact: In the original saints row, they actually hired real life gangsters in order to perfectly simulate what a gangster would actually be like, one of the gangsters even got arrested during it's production that's how much they cared for the games authenticity. They devolved to being politically correct and woke and completely irrelevant for the sake of milking dying trends and failed spectacularly. serves them right, they wanna go woke? Then they should have prepared to go broke.
the problem with this game is not that it is "woke" or whatever you mean by that.
@@NCO643 woke essentially means it was made for people who get offended by literally everything. Such as people who cry sexism after a harmless joke, or people who cry racism in historical games.
Gangsters don't care about being offensive, they're gangsters. They do offensive shit all the time. So yes, woke is ruining the game. It's not the only thing, but it's definitely one of the main problems.
@@xxprototypexx5056 Saints Row flopped because it's a completely shallow open world with dated combat systems and unpolished game mechanics. Adding homophobic jokes to the game wouldn't have made it salvageable.
@@NCO643 the story literally killed it aswell
don't act like the story isn't the factor of their shitty game flopping badly
@@mellamojeff458 Saint's Row has never been known for well-crafted storytelling, it's known for bombastic characters and fun side activities. This game has neither. Even if this game had an Oscar worthy story the fact that it looks, sounds, and plays like shit would have kept it from succeeding. The "woke" story wasn't the problem, my guy but people like you want to blame that for EVERYTHING and it's getting old.
Apparently Volition fired any developer that dared to question the game’s direction
Thats the problem with people of today spinless. If everyone quit that company, they would've had no choice but to accept to listen and follow the devs goals for the game, those goals align with the fans needs and some wants.
Seriously? That's fucked..
the truly sad part about this is that GTA 6 is still years away, this could have been the game that redefined Saints Row (as a reboot should) and have it finally step out of GTAs shadow while bringing in a new generation of fans and finally giving GTA and Rockstar some competition, but instead they decided to take zero risks and made the worst Saints Row game which will probably kill the series.
I think Saints Row 3 made it an independent thing. Saints Row 1+2 were still just GTA clones but 3 made it have its own flair and personality
Too bad GTA6 is gonna suck too. After all these years of waiting.
@@Shannonhittson bold statement
@@gabrielgiron4273 Yea, I know. Given the direction these fools have been going to appeal to this new generation and PC world we live in, I'm not very hopeful. Aiming for backlash would be the correct move. Pushing the envelope far enough to be able to back lawsuits like they did in the past. And not just sell out. The cash grab its gonna be would be alright then. Considering there would be a reason to pay for their lawsuits.
@@Shannonhittson youre corny dude
guys, i miss the old day when games were getting progressively better and not dramatically worse
Perhaps games peaked in the 2010s and then all they could go from the top was down. Well that and another event that happened.
because gamers will buy any garbage game and defend it
Gamers are literally easy money to exploit
This year's been pretty decent for gaming. Same with last year
If they still made games with passion and without the sole objective of supporting certain real life political messages, we'd still have great games. We just gotta wait for this fad to pass, since everyone of these shitty games eventually fails and hurts the company
@@MrDaves95 what messages? The sjws? Gen z? I am in whole disbelief as to how this is happening, yes twitter but who exactly?
These are bad times to be a gamer.
These are bad times to be alive in general.
@@RM2011ish Wait for rhe unenviable climate crisis that we could have stopped at any time but we looked the other way. Shitty video games won't seem so bad when your house is getting flooded
@@RM2011ish And you're going to miss it
It’s because games are being made by shitty corporations now ran by old heads who don’t give a fuck about video games… years ago when games were actually fun, they were made by people and groups of people who were working on their passion projects and putting their blood sweat and tears into making an enjoyable game.. now it’s all about how much money these companies can make and how much they can milk out of their player base without offending anyone
@@RM2011ish Yup. The 1940s were much better.
The fact that a laugh track can fit right into the cutscenes is telling
The response those devs gave during the first trailer when fans of this franchise weren't happy with the direction of this game, that it wasn't very "Saints Row" like really rubbed me the wrong way. It's that kind of ignorance, neglect, and downright terrible business decisions to spit in the faces of fans that truly makes me happy this game flopped massively.
You get what you fucking deserve!!!
They don't know that customer service also applies to the gaming industry, I bet almost none of those who act like this worked in customer service.
Cue in Joker shooting the devs in the face. Sorry you said that last line and thats what popped into my head! XD
I don't think its fair to blame the developers for something public relations did
@@JerseyJake98 developers were literally on twitter attacking critics
@@mcgavinclapping9490 Ah yes, Twitter.
*_A good place for some unhinged people_*
I spent the better part of an hour customizing my character, as I usually do when playing a game with a character creator- The next time I was loaded into the customizer, it bugged and exaggerated every feature of his face. And after that, every time I would try to fix it, it somehow got worse. I was literally sitting there with my mouth hung open in disbelief of what I was seeing. He went from a normal looking guy to Botox victim, to Shrek, to an Oblivion orc, to a Minecraft villager. Incredible. Needless to say I refunded.
I encountered few bugs, such as my character standing up while I tried to blast helis with the apc turret, floating objects with no hit detection, this is only a few hours in, tomorrow, there will be no shortage of time, no shortage of bad reviews stopping me, and no shortage of high expectations leading to disappointing reception
I know you understand
I could tell it was going to be garbage so luckily I never even bought it in the first place. I didn’t think it was going to be “Millennial TikTok Stereotype/Criminal Mastermind” bad though.
HOLY SHIT YEAH, WHEN I TRIED THE BOSS FACTORY SOME FEATURES OF MY CHARACTER WOULD GET EXAGGERATED OR DULLED
Better luck than my friend had. About 45 minutes into character creation, his game crashed and he had to start over.
Unlucky not had any bugs yet
The Nemesis system was legally protected until a few years ago. Sad how game mechanics can be patented for so long. The law is lagging on protecting games in a way that allows innovation. Just as a rhetorical device, imagine Saints Row 2022 had 2 amazing mechanics the entire game was based on, and then it had to be completely remade because they found out that those are patented mechanics that can't be licensed.
You saved me from wasting 60 Dollars I had so much hope they'd take it back to the old way they made them. I ignored the idiocracy of the trailers and continued hoping... But after watching this, I can no longer be in denial... They wasted our time looking forward to another Saints Row... Here goes to waiting some more years if they make a new one...
Wow he seemed genuinely just over this game at the end. That “I’m out dude. I’m done.” The amount of dissatisfaction is indescribable almost
It's almost like he didn't like the game
I’m Better Than muta
Just wanna say that this bland game is exactly what a politically correct culture produces. It offends no one, and pleases no one.
The reboot: "how are we gonna make rent?!!"
Meanwhile in SR2: we were beating homeless people to take back the church. (The boss in SR2 is an absolute psycho)
What? Kill the landlord? Make it seem as though nobody owns it? I love you guys, out of touch, when I could fix shit up and make you hap- oh wait no your going to be pissed still
@@NepuSoggyMango But can you do that in the remake?
It sounds like a pitch to another tenacious d movie
Lmao!!! SR2 is still to this day my favorite. It was funny but also had a great story and some darker serious moments.
@@SoJackedTack I think I'm the only person on the planet who enjoyed Saint's Row for being a gang crime gang. Not a 'haha funny random stuff' generator. I liked the first one too. I'm the only one who wanted a crime game with dark elements. But they deliver on the stupid, 'haha funny man make funny noise', goofy storyline, and no one likes that either. So I am really confused by it. I get why I don't like it, I don't get why people who wanted that don't like it.
You said exactly what I've been saying about this game. Everything about it feels outdated and near to broken. It's like Saints Row 3 with more amount of issues. And the people that make an attempt to defend it just have excuses and are just being dismissive to the problems in Saints Row 2022.
I held off on watching this until I finished it. You are absolutely, 100% correct.
I was defending it as a mid game until, all of a sudden, it was over. That PISSED ME OFF. There was no depth, no heart, repetitive gameplay, the story was garbage.
I plan on making my first ever review just to rant about this game.
Breaks my heart to not see this game get the love and detail this franchise deserved from its developers
DONT READ MY USERNAME!!!
Damn these bots don't like ya.
@D.R fax
@fours04 🇬🇧 AYO?!?
@Flare I'm surprised he didn't bring up their Twitter. Just a bunch of sjw.
After years without a new saints row, this is what fans get, it's basically a spit, slap, and kick in the face to them, and treat their fans like filthy dogs, this studio or company gets what they deserve

@@shawndorsch726 he’s got disabilities, best to ignore it. he’s commented it a ton likely for attention lmao
The writing was so cringe that I honestly felt physically sick hearing it. God can we go back to Saints Row 2 please like holy shit
The first time I’ve genuinely rooted for a game to fail. They had the easiest slam dunk of all time by making a semi realistic semi silly gang game, like a hybrid of the first two games. But they completely missed the mark and were very arrogant about it.
I can’t even fathom how they saw the characters, read the dialogue and thought this game would be good in any capacity.
"Let people have fun". Yeah, let people have fun by *making a decent game* .
I find it odd how there were so many great games in the age of hardware and size limitations, yet now the possibilities are endless, and developers put out totally crap games.
There's still limitations lmaaao
@@cosseybomb Way less than there used to be bruh. VR, 4K resolution, GPU's and CPU's that are getting better and better at handling bigger loads no problem, etc. The problem is, these devs keep misusing the tech being made available to them to make shitty remakes of older, better games (that were also made to look like kid's cartoons for some reason idk why modern devs do that) that had to deal with PS3 and *Xbox 360 specs*. Just because there are still limitations now doesn't make this okay.
@@mello6311 Way less. But its because gaming is so mainstream and profitable.
@@godfrey4461 It's only profitable now cuz people are used to getting the lowest common denominator games with maybe a few actually good releases once in a while. The modern gaming industry is as wide as an ocean but as deep as a puddle
@@mello6311 Aptly put.
What absolutely fascinates me the most about SR22 is that both sides of the fence, those who say SR stopped being good after Saints 2 and those that enjoyed the ride despite the weird turns it kept taking from 3 onwards, both finally agree on something. Volition managed to disappoint OG fans, the "new age" SR fans, people who may have only played 1 game, and those who have never played a SR game. Volition made it very clear they didn't give a rat's ass about the 'legacy,' or whatever you want to call it, that Saints Row had. Looking at it I can't even tell who the target demographic is. I really wanted this game to succeed despite the prelaunch backlash because I love this series, but damn, this is really how the Saints die, isn't it?
I love SR3 so much, but to me everything went downhill right after that - SR4 was supposed to be merely DLC for SR3, GOoH was supposed to be DLC for SR4. they're fun to a certain extent but strayed too far from what SR used to be. also, THQ going under, Agents of Mayhem being developed along with a new engine and selling not well, layoffs after its failure...
I didn't have high expectations for SR2022 and it seems it might put a franchise on hold indefinitely. won't be surprised if it will.
You can't tell who the target demo is because there isn't one. Companies think that tHe KiDs will like garbage like this lol, they either did zero focus testing or just rolled with it because they knew the release would be awful
Yes, because this is how every beloved franchise from back then chooses to die. They all planned a mass suicide by releasing absolute dogshit after another
@@sn-x-wt SR4 is fun but it kind of lacks details but still an enjoyable one time experience.
Likewise the writing of Reboot reminds me of BL3 writing. It's a literal garbage.
Death not In a blaze of glory, but as a fart in the wind.
With Deadly silence.
It's crazy, if they literally re-made the original saints row, the game's lifespan would've been longer.
Oh man, that disheartened "I'm out" killed me. You got some real passion for gaming, it's easy to see. It is shit that game developers continue to make subpar entries to beloved titles. If it's a small development team I understand, jank is fine, but when something clearly has no passion injected into it, it shows. Even the cover shows no passion, they seem to be distancing themselves from the older fans.
Sad how even in Japan, ryu ga gotoku or the yakuza series, was able to incorporate a lot of these open world mini games, to the point that every alley you go can has a lot more and unexpected events to occur. This was done years ago, and yakuza 7 is literrally a huge open world RPG game filled with hidden questlines. They literally have leagues to surpass if they want to make a good game at this point and all you have to do is to add more.
Yakuza became wackier, but it didn't lose sight of itself. The story is still a serious crime drama, even if Kiryu gets into wacky situations in his daily routine and everything is so over-the-top. The game respects him. It just tries to make everything feel impactful even if it is mundane (answering the phone). It tries to make the player feel powerful even if you can't cross a line (like throwing a transformer on a guy, but not actually killling him). It values the player's experience. Kiryu doesn't make cringe jokes before snapping a guy's neck to pay rent in a new town. In a way, it is like Saints Row 2 having a gritty story that makes you feel badass, but lets you have fun on side missions. Neither game grinds to a halt to offer mediocre "comedy" when you would rather be doing something else-- especially if it comes at the expense of the story.
Even the reboot did it well. Ichiban is a goofy guy by nature, but he takes his job seriously and won't compromise it. He might still enjoy the little things and make light of the situation, but it is out of gratitude rather than trying to make him hip and irreverent. Even his friends respect the situation even if they try to remain hopeful (Adachu appreciates the irony of his situation, but he doesn't exist solely to quip). Yakuza: Like a Dragon has passion, something SR22 lacks. Again, it wants you to feel good. It wants you to feel like Ichiban's friend, and friends help each other in many ways.
Imagine if Ichiban became a criminal because Tokyo's rent was expensive, not because he strives to be honorable like the man he admires. Imagine he almost dies for Arakawa because he needs to pay off his loans and is essentially a slave rather than returning the favor for his savior and striving to do right by others even if society deems his methods unorthodox. Now the game disregards your enjoyment just because the writer wanted to try... something.
It's funny you mention Yakuza because I always thought that's the game the rebooted Saints Row should have looked to when designing the game. The Saints Row fan base is divided into two camps: the ones who like the more serious entries, SR1 and SR2 and the ones that like the more goofy entries, SR3 and SR4. Yakuza shows how you can make a game that would please both camps. It's one part serious crime drama and one part silly, over-the-top side activities. The stark contrast between these two things is what gives Yakuza such a strong identity and a strong identity is something Saints Row has always lacked.
@@nugsboodlepoo it's also because the ryu ga gotoku team and Japanese developers as a whole have the balls to put in stuff that woke western developers wouldn't dare to any more. And this is the reason why I have given up on western made games save for a select few
Saints Row developers love removing content each game instead of keeping them and just adding each game. They been doing it since Saints Row 2.
“You’ve done less than Ubisoft” Jesus Christ Muta you murdered the game so hard JayStation’s gonna come back and do a 3AM video on it
You must've missed Call of Duty Warzone's update: "Warzone Pacific" ruined weapons where Snipers can't Headshot. Garbage map (Caldera), horrible updates that only took away from players what we had months and years ago. Worst update in gaming history
the sniper nerf was unfortunately intentionally nerfed 😔
@@ReallyJTT ikr that's the worst part! It's all by CHOICE AND DECISION coming from 1-2 execs (like Caldera was 1 single guy's idea/drawing/design), forced upon hundred of millions..
Warzone got ruined back when cold war got shoved into it
That's where any resemblance of balance or consistent style got thrown out of window, alongside turning this crap into lazy marketing tool
Pacific "update" is nothing more than shooting already dead man
@@randomdude5993 RavenSoftware are the worst.. 2 years consistently terribly unbalanced weapons, SMG doing same damage per bullet as HEAVY SNIPER SHOTS.. horrible map, world war theme yet weapons comes with extremely modern reticles like it's battlefield 2042 or Starwars/Halo, weird RGB operators/bundles, and ravensoftware is always stubborn and in denial of this all
Video games companies have dropped the ball so much in the past few years that we keep have to go back and play older titles just to have that feeling of a proper AAA title video game. Tomb Raider, Doom, Assassins Creed franchise (pre-2019), GTA V, RDR, RDR2 and much more were so good (with a few minor negatives).
I bought Watchdogs Legion the other day for like $12, a game which sells for like $60. Apparently there is a bug in the game where you get stuck inside the hideout in the prologue mission which takes about an hour to reach from the beginning of the game. Once you are stuck in this perpetual hideout where you cannot leave or complete the objective, even after restarting the game and loading from the last checkpoint. After finding out that the only way to move past it is to restart the story mode all over again, I immediately uninstalled it. Apparently it has been a bug since release and Ubisoft hasn't bothered to fix it. The bug in question posted on multiple forums and even on reddit. But Ubisoft is too busy creating Iron Man skins for their Viking Era Assassins Creed game.
And lets not forget about the biggest video game IP in the world Call of Duty, which just released a frickin lazer gun into a WW2 based Multiplayer game (Vanguard), which did so bad in sales during launch that they're on their last leg to milk that cow dry with microtransactions, before the new game drops this year. Oh and all of those microtransactions become obsolete when the next warzone/modern warfare games come out and no one is playing those games anymore.
Video game companies don't care about what gamers want anymore, save for a few. They know we'll take whatever they throw at us. And we're gullible enough that these companies will just keep on pumping out shit games at premium prices and fixing the gaping holes in their games as time goes on and we just keep on indulging them. Unless there's some major rage about something from a content creator or a streamer and if they bring the problem to light or if it's unavoidable, then they might even try fixing something for once. But that's only true for some companies. Some don't even care to even acknowledge the outrage.
Agreed. I mostly play old stuff and indies.
C'mon guys, most of us seen this coming since the first trailer was release
This new Saints Row is an insult to the past Saint Row games.
Cringe af..
Yep it was obvious
seeing the comments and videos back then, not all of us evidently lol
A lot of people were shilling this game despite all the signs.
"But have you played it" is the first line of defense. "I'm having fun" is the second. You got it right on the money right there.
Thats every game thats bad that people refuse to see. Using the cliche boring and lazy defense mechanism.
Or or or we know how to enjoy things and not spread hate like a bunch of insecure losers? Maybe pick up a controller and have fun instead of spewing bullshit on the internet
For the first scenario
If “Yes”;
“Then stop playing it if you don’t like it”
If “No”;
“Then you don’t have the right to hate the game”
I’ve noticed that ever since TLOU2 came out, people have started acting like you HAVE to play a game in order to figure out if you like it or not… As if the internet doesn’t exist and that they’ve never looked up footage to judge a game by.
Then again, these kinds of games are made for Twitter users, who don’t play video games and probably haven’t ever looked a game up before buying. It’s so goofy
@@friendlyfire2374 There are no “bad games people refuse to see”, it’s just people having a different opinion than you. There’s no objective measure of good or bad. They don’t need to defend themselves for liking something. Even if I think the new Saints Row sucks, that isn’t a “true” statement no matter my own reasons for disliking it.

At least CP77 had the graphics to somewhat back up it's poor performance. This game looks like it came out 15 years ago yet somehow has higher system requirements than RDR2? Like what the fuck? And after all the patches CP77 got, even that game runs better than Saints Row, it baffles me how a game can have 3 different graphics modes and none of them are playable: DX11 stutters like mad, DX12 crashes randomly and Vulkan doesn't even get past the loading screen.

Every day we stray further from Saints Row 2 .But that days would be this dark? I did not know
Gat has been one of the best characters in gaming history in my eyes. He's been a fucking powerhouse and a joker through it all. The characters in this new saints, johnny would have broke their necks. Its just not the same as it should have been. Rebooting was the dangerous part, and honestly I would have prefered a remaster of the first 2
They’d ruin the games and make the older ones harder to acquire gta style. Be careful what you wish for.
Source codes, does nobody understand THQ (not THQ Nordic, completely different) went bankrupt in 2013, how do you expect another Mike Watson to scour for SR1 source code, then re use it to make the PS3, Wii, and PC ports? Then use it again to make the remasters for PS5, XSX/XSS, and pc, add XB1 and PS4 if they can test how they fare against a graphically intense game like both remasters
The reality is though, Gat and all the others were big losers. Younger people are more likely to join and/or form gangs. If you’re still trying to join gangs do gang activities at all you’re a loser, but especially if you’re older and still try to partake.

Dear big game devs. If you read this. Please know. Those older games that everyone looked at and loved. Didn't always have the best of everything. But what they had was love. Someone made a game that they loved. Graphics be damned. Game play... sure. But damn. I want to feel a game that feels like it was loved.
I still go back and play Saints Row 2... like absolutely awesome game still, soooo fun. Glad I didn't buy this reboot crap.
I agree 100%, to me, this is main problem with today's gaming (at least triple A gaming, indie devs are just as amazing as they always were) , I can forgive outdated graphics, outdated mechanics, and even some janky gameplay to an extent, what I can't forgive is souless bland experience that lacks any personality or any personal taste whatsoever
nobody is gonna read your comment lmfao, post this on a blog or some shit
@@clockworkNate I played the games in reverse. Started with 4, had some insane fun. Then played 3, had some more fun. Then played 2, and had the best fun in the franchise.
If you have playstation or PC play Rollerdrome… the devs put a lot of love into it
9:25 - 9:38 Another cool thing about the in game gambling system of GTA SA is that you could actually get in debt if you keep on losing badly in the casinos. Your money counter will turn red and negative and CJ will get some unqiue phone calls from a debt collector. He would call you 3 times on most occasion. First call is just a reminder, second call is a small warning and third call is a "friendly" visit from the debt collector's hit and run party. Never seen something like this in any other open world game where casinos are present.
The funny thing about that is that Saints Row 1 (a game that came out in 2006, 16 years ago!) had this mechanic where if you got into debt, a debt collector would call you and give you warnings, then eventually send a hit squad out for you. Very similar to what GTA SA had. Things like this is really what made Saints Row great but to expect something like this in the reboot is like... nope. Never gonna happen. Volition have just completely disregarded all the open-world interactions that made the OG SR games the reason why they were so great.
@@tac0maus Damn that's cool. I've never played SR1 (played all the ones after it) so I might go give that one a try as well. Also screw the new higher ups at Volition for f**king up the SR series with this horrendous reboot!
12:44 This makes me so angry because the exact same thing is happening with the Battlefield franchise and BF2142. They made all the worst design and project management decisions possible ("Let's get rid of the class system completely!") and naturally, the game they finally released was a buggy piece of dog shit. And now some moron executive is going to look at those poor sales and say "Battlefield franchise is dead, no more games".
Now let's see if the same thing happens with GTA6...
You mentioning the older games that did things better, made things fun, makes me feel glad I decided to go back console generations to enjoy the PS2/PS3, 360/OG Xbox era of games.
"How does it feel to live long enough to see all of your favorite franchises go down in flames?"
"Feels great."
Biggest takeaway from this video is that Left Alive was indeed a game that was released, and not a dream I had years ago
SR 2 and 3 were such fire, that mission in 3 where you dive into the skyscraper pool while Kanye Power is blasting is one of the coolest things in any game I've played 🔥 absolute shame they've been infected by the AnitaVirus 😔
2:25 I love that you give one small positive for “some credit where credit is due” when the rest of the score card is barren for Saints Row 2022. Customizations are another, but that’s where it practically ends for many people.
This is why Saints Row 1 and 2 will always be the OGs. Sure 3 was ok. But anything after that was dog shit
Nah, even President Vs Aliens is fun when you shit stomp all over them.
SR4 Is good if you haven't played the others. But after playing 3 I realized that 4 is just a copy & paste with super powers
Saints Row 2 is still the best open world game and gameplay age very well in 2008, San Andreas is also a great example with the best GTA that came out 15 years ago. Gameplay and Open world and great customization.
@@Bubbagaming90000 SR4 is actually a LOT better than 3 in terms of story because for me at least I felt connected to them instead of them just being there like they actually had personality

I was afraid of this ever since I saw the first trailer. While Saints Row was always a bit ridiculous and corny, it knew that serious moments and comedy moments needed to be balanced. This seems trying to jump too far into the “lol so random, I’m so quirky” style of storytelling.

SR1 had no soul, it was basically a watered down gta clone. SR2 is where they started to hone in and refine the setting, characters and gameplay, but it still played like shit. SR3 is where they nailed the identity of the series and most of the most memorable scenes come from 3. It's IMO the best SR game.

I too am convinced they just re-used the same engine with a new coat of paint. They really couldnt let Saints Row 3's engine go.

Also thank you Muta for actually liking GTAIV and it’s story(unlike a lot of people). I’ve liked all the gta stories, but I think 4 was the strongest and most immersive.

And he goes from a lost and quiet “yes man” to a wisecracking bad*ss.

Your laugh at the beginning sounds like the laugh you hear when you go inside the Option House in Mario Party 1.
You know... After you mentioned the Game Awards joke, I think they should go through with that idea. "Worst AAA Goty." Maybe the bad press will "inspire" publishers and developers into puting forth a better effort. Of course, any press can be good press to some... But I would like to believe negative word of mouth will dissuade potential consumers, thus giving even the slightest bit of extra risk to launching a terrible, broken mess of a game.
Neat idea, but it would never fly with the sponsors of the event. That's why you'll only ever see independent outlets and creators bashing big releases - those from the big powerful companies
@@olic22 I actually considered that, and you are right. Big publishers have their hands in a lot of pies in the industry, likely including the Game Awards' sponsors. I can imagine it now: A big company pulls out the "Bullying card" as the reasoning to reject the idea. Even though all they have to do is make a good product.
Although I think it would do good for the industry by adding additional incentive towards making and releasing good, functioning titles, I'm well aware of it just being a silly idea.
There are plenty of rating sites that hammer in bad games, the fact people are rating it doesn't mean people don't buy it they can see the sales numbers themselves. Sometimes the bad press doesn't even reach their core audience like sports games or gambling P2W projects that hook people in then slowly improve to a playable state after everyone forgot they exist
It likely wouldn't lead to anything. EA was voted as the worst company in America for years, and yet nothing changed.
Game Awards voting committee/sponsors consists of High Level executives of AAA gaming companies, they’d never let that slide
From what I was able to dig up, before contract bonuses, hazard pay, and other sorts of additional compensation, the average PMC operator can expect on average to make between $38,000 in their first year on the low end of averages, up to $90,000 in their first year on the high end of averages, as well as making something like $120,000+ with more years of continued service. Again, that's BEFORE bonuses and extra compensation. So even if the PC of this game got stiffed on a bonus, that salary says that yes, they can easily make rent.
For all I know at first, the worst issue of all is the lack of cheat codes which will put players in almost no-win situations and give them bad results and give them nothing but unfavorable statistics like even so much as one death or arrest or even mission failure at your expense. It's embarrassing.

The point you made at the end of this video is very poignant and I think a message that a lot of dev studios need to understand. This was a game with a great title history and name recognition. If they had taken the time and had the passion to create a fun and meaningful product here and marketed it accordingly It could have been a huge critical and financial success much in the way rockstars initial releases are. Which begs the questions, do these people making six figures a year not understand that? Did they not play the older titles in the franchise and their direct competitors games ( even ones from years ago) and then play the new saints row back to back and understand its a far inferior product? I simply don’t see how thats possible which leads me to believe this was the intent (and is the intent of a lot of companies nowadays) all along. Instead of investing time and resources into creating an awesome gameplay experience which will grasp user’s attention for years to come they rather release a mediocre piece of garbage for a quick little cash grab and then blame the consumer for it’s failure. Its scary to see how this laziness and greed is consuming the industry and as a lifelong gamer i’m concerned as to the direction of gaming in general.
