Un ironically equating a decision that effects no one with the actual murder of a human. Maybe if every time we aborted a mission a volition developer died we could have a decent game.

Giga soycuck energy right there. I guarantee you a beanie wearing bespectacled bearded white male "ally" wrote that in the hopes of getting an attaboy from a fat septum pierced danger hair in the office. Also:

  1. The mission is not a human life.

  2. Abortion isn't about "your own character", it's about what happens to the other character trapped inside you.

  3. If the developers were cunts and purposely designed a bad user experience to vent their political frustrations, I just wouldn't play the game, which I'm not doing anyway.

after the reviews and all the shit the game has been catching, i was still thinking of picking this game up for $10 deluxe version when it hits that point, kinda like agents of mayhem. i am still a huge fan of sr 2/3 and willing to at least try this new one, but if that screenshot were real, i'd be completely avoiding this game.

Implying they actually PLAY the games. And this isn't a new thing. Just look at IGN giving Godhand one of the worst reviews of all time and that was mid 2000s, they don't give a fuck about games else they'd actually play them to really review em.

She Hulk is becoming a telling cultural example of this type of shit. Like when she tried talking down to an actual super hero that saved the world countless times and has dealt with things throughout his entire life that she couldn’t possibly imagine, which she one ups by saying some guys say she’s pretty or disagree with her at work sometimes. She doesn’t put it on par with what he’s been through, but claims she has it worse because she’s so pretty people try to ask her out or comment on it.

If I had a family member that not only was a war hero but a war of all wars hero, I’d sooner die than say that to him.

In context, it’s actually so bad of a character portrait of her it’s funny. “You remember that one time you were enslaved to fight in an intergalactic battle arena? That doesn’t hold a candle to even one syllable from the mouth of a man that says I have a nice ass.”

The 2nd, and best, was the one that was a goofy gta. After that they went full campy, with 3 having a dildo bat and an auto tune pimp. Them going woke, and now gta too is basically the gaming industry saying they are fully onboard with the neopuritan fag agenda.

The original Saints Row had just enough grit and edginess when GTA was over-the-top and campy. Then GTA 4 came out and it was dark, grim and humorless, with a washed-out color palette and no likeable characters. Saints Row 2 was released a few months later, and it was a breath of fresh air. It felt like a video game instead of a cheap knockoff of the Sopranos, and it had a lot of zany, outlandish elements while still retaining a good core story.

Then Deep Silver bought Volition and almost all of the original devs left the company. The SR franchise has been dogshit ever since.

It felt like a video game

It certainly did, with all the absurd padding that only a video game could muster. For all GTA's faults, it actually let me play the story instead of having to stop every mission to go grind more respect at a side activity I didn't want to play (usually). If Roman wanted to go bowling in SR2, you would actually have to do so every single time to maintain a proper amount of respect points.

I understand why people like 2, it has some of the best elements of the series. But it was still considerably flawed.

It was more lulz so random after the first game. I honestly can't think of a franchise that takes itself less seriously than SR. Like, to the point of annoyance. Funny when you're younger, but obnoxious the older you get.

Saints row was like a more immature version of GTA. More goofy and exaggerated. Kind of like the Fast and Furious movies if they made a comedy cartoon version of it.

What if we, the developers, decided that you can NOT do what you want with your own character?

You mean like many, many, many other games in history? Hell, everyone bitched about that with The Last of Us and they are the poster child for the woke mob.

In reality my answer to your question, developers, is just another factor in whether or not I even consider your game. The same as it would have in any other game, the fun of the gameplay loop would be main factor. Then you wrote the next sentence, and your game moved into the "Will buy when hell freezes over" category.

I haven't played it yet, but I hear Sleeping Dogs is pretty good. Granted, I think you play as an undercover cop in it, but it still the same general principle.

It's sad what the open world crime sim has become. And the worst part is there's no reason why there can't be more, especially since it's been ages since the last GTA and SR! >_<

What a shame. Saints Row had the most robust character creator I'd ever seen, until Cyberpunk 2077 came along.

Seriously, it was a model other games should have followed.

Plus I admit I adored how corny the fourth game got.

This? This hurts to see. But I'll do without.

Saw the video by Skill Up reviewing the game, he said it's like a Xbox 360 game that got ported over and the writing is terrible

To me Saint's Row ended with Gat out of Hell, I liked 2 the best but still had a lot of fun with 3 and 4 because they didn't take themselves seriously. It was fun and outrageous and it's clear the team that could do that have moved on. I'm REALLY starting to wonder if any video game company other than Nintendo managed to keep some semblance of quality control.

All i know is positive reviews are usually bought or compromise. The only reviews to consider are negatives. When buying things.. who care wtf the positives are when there is a glaring flaw or negative. Even if a negative review might be reaching or outrageous, you can see which negatives will influence if you wanna buy it.

Negatives are good for major controversies, but generally are only good for that. You can get a quick fix of basic things to consider, but it doesn't go beyond it.

The most useful information is always in the 3-7 area, because those people usually aren't fuming or shilling enough to give it top/bottom scores and instead have much more legit grips or praises to bring.

the SJWS couldnt give it low scores so they settles with 6s and 7s.

Anyone who's read game reviews for more than few years knows that a 6 means the reviewer thinks its irredeemaby shit, and a 7 is mediocre.

5 and below are reserved for games from foreign devs based on foreign IP's.
