Sometimes the public just dont want what your selling.

CurbStompin3045d ago

F2P is the only thing that might fix it.

Nothing, it wasn't bad, just wasn't good enough to compete with the overly saturated online shooter market.

phoenixwing3045d ago (Edited 3045d ago )

I agree completely. I've been saying this for awhile, the online shooter market is too saturated and most of the people buying online games are fickle at best and stay with whatever is the top dog (overwatch). If they had made a multiplatform gears clone (or just ps4, pc) it would have sold way more as a complete packaged game. Who better to make a gears clone than cliffy?

InTheZoneAC3045d ago

As a ps4/PC owner I would never buy a gears clone or gears of war game

KillBill3044d ago

This is really the thing that bit Lawbreakers in the rump. Cliffy B thinking... shooters are all the rage and I can make a game with my name on it that will make it better than everything else on the market. He overvalued his marketing worth and delivered just the same thing everyone is already playing elsewhere.

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

Alos882d ago

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

welcome to your average n4g daily user lol

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac3d ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Huey_My_D_Long2d ago

OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope

If Nintendo re-released the Game Boy with a bigger, colour screen, it’d make a killing. Better still, a Game Boy legacy handheld with a 3D dual screen, able to play all games from Game Boy to 3DS, able to link it to a TV. It’ll never happen l know.
