You play as one of the luckless souls trying to scrape a living in decrepit Stilwater City. At the start of the game, you're caught up in a random drive-by shooting and end up being recruited by a gang called 'The 3rd Street Saints'. They've not only got a taste for purple clothes, but they're serious about homicide, drug dealing, hijacking, prostitution and insurance fraud too.
Original Saints Row design director Chris Stockman has declared the Saints Row franchise is "dead".
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.
The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.
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.
Somehow, Saints Row returned. Well, kind of. In a giddy post on the Saints Row subreddit, a lead on the original game in the Saints Row series announced that someone, somewhere might be interested in firing up Volition's (RIP) open-world crime games once more.
OR ...
remake the first one but 1:1, very minimal changes ~ QoL changes that are necessary or beneficial
Please not made in fortnite graphics by whiny petty developers who argue on twitter this time
It always boggles my mind how developers like these get their hands on well known IPs and completely butcher it into a terrible mess.
My problem is I’ve played all of them but probably collectively an hour a piece for each. Never really got into them and always got them on discount. I wonder if that’s just the general consensus on this game. Because doesn’t feel like any of them are really worth it
To me Saints Row is one of those series that got a foothold in people's minds because the first game was in the right place at the right time (I'd put Dead Rising in the same category). In 2006 when the original came out, people were desperate for new games to play on the 360, and people were not nearly as burnt out on open world games as they are now. So the first one filled a void and served as a showcase for a new console that people were very excited about at the time.
I think the funniest thing to me was the Pecker sword in 3 but overall 3 was a pretty terrible game. I tell myself I want to go back and retry the remake of each version and I just don't feel like taking it to 1080p is going to change a pretty mediocre game at it's core
Get rid of the regenerating health, or only have a certain food type that regenerates health a bit. Regenerating health + food seems a bit much but just IMO.. I always found that a bit stupid.
The wait for GTA 6 is painful, but for less than $6 you can pass the time with the overhated Saints Row reboot on your Steam Deck right now.
This was free on something at some point, so I decided to check it out. It's definitely properly rated.
if its anywhere close to GTA VC or GTA SA (looks like it is) I am there. a high-def GTA is just what the doctor ordered!
Saint's Row is developed by the small team of Volition. They are quickly joining the big elite developers, and are becoming one of my hot favourites.
This company has the right idea's. Just think what there next game/s is going to be like. XBOX 360 is going to be having a blast thanks to companies like these. And to of added online gameplay is "dynomite!!" :))
The preview said there were framerate issues in places...I'm so tired of hearing about this! Is it a developer problem or xbox 360 problem? If its a developer problem then Microsoft should lay down the law and not allow the release till its dealt with! It's a gamekiller imo, if I'm in a huge massive war playing lotr, the last thing I want is lag.
Other than that, can't wait to play this game.
