It also makes better use of vehicles as IV made cars obsolete when you could super sprint and glide everywhere. Though honestly, I'd still take the reboot over SR4 because at least the city felt like a city and a visual eyesore pretending to be a Matrix parody. After it introduced aliens,I clocked out faster than everyone cringed once the reboot mentioned "brunch" in a cutscene. Ever since the trailer, practically everyone slammed the game for being "woke" just because it doesn't have dildo bats or whatever.Īnd I get it, the new characters are far removed from what we know from Saints Row, though honestly I felt the exact same way when The Third brought in a wrestler, a geeky hacker girl, and large Russian man with genetic clones.īut I was willing to forgive that because the game was still fun.Īnd while it may have it's fans (and still might, after everyone unanimously hates the 2022 reboot), I can't stand Saints Row IV.

Yeah, but the story and characters still suck and the game play is hit or miss.īut that's not what I kept hearing. Heck Volition couldn't even honor their agreement with Idol Ninja in regards to the Saints Row 2 PC patch. But as a reboot of a beloved franchise, it's actively a spit in the face of all those who came before it. Every fun concept is transplanted from an old Saints Row game (but usually done worse), the story is so boring that most people tend to forget that important things like the Codex and the actual gameplay is horrible (bad aiming physics, the takedowns being how you restore health, the pointless skills).Ībout the only thing this game has going for it is the game world.



It doesn't help when the developers would actively attack fans and call them terrorists. I don't think it's so much game critics but fans of the series as a whole. Is it disappointing? Sure, but I feel like all the criticism is lauded by a bunch of elitist reactionaries that dismiss anything that isn't The Last of Us or Elden Ring.īut again, how can I express a different opinion without being hounded by the mob of people trying to either ignore me or shun me for wrongthink? It's my opinion and I don't think it's as bad as everyone says it s.
