Damn. Was hoping people would give a high score despite how good or bad it actually was (for Fantasy Critic).

I watched some streamers last night who had the full game it doesn't look great. The dialog is fucking atrocious.

I might still check it out as long as the open-world has fun side stuff to do - that's pretty much all I care about from open-world games these days.

I have absolutely zero interest in this game. I am just so sick of these generic open world games does it even bring anything new to the table? Maybe ten years ago I would be slightly interested in this game but in 2022 I have seen it all in terms of open world games and this just looks like Watch Dogs 2 to me only worse in every possible way.

Didn't need a reboot in the first place.

Also the general goal of a reboot is to be better than what came before. These new "saints" look like chumps compared to the originals in literally every way.

IDK. I feel like the story kind of did since it went off the rails in 3.

From what I've seen this reboot isn't it though. I don't really get a gang vibe from this cast of characters.

What's the level of customization supposed to be like? Because this is what ultimately sold me on SR2 - between the character editor and clothing options / variety, SR2's level of customization was second to none.

looks like it's got the same problem hollywood has had with reboots; too superficial in its adaptation of the source material to win over old fans while also not being new or different to attract people who weren't interested in the original

Ive never been so confused about a game before. Besides the cringe dialogue, which is just a different type of cringe from the earlier games, this game looks exactly what we expect it to. A fun arcade-like GTA experience. Yet people are lampooning this game. You guys are far, FAR too harsh on it.

I think people are tired of open world clones. If this had come out a few years ago people would be more welcoming but the genre has been so flooded and there's been very little innovation on the formula.

Say what you want about Bethesda but no one has yet to successfully copy the feel of their games. I'll be curious if Starfield gets hammered too because it doesn't seem like Bethesda has improved their standard formula since Skyrim/Fallout 4. Their saving grace is ease of modding but who knows how Microsoft may try to clamp down on that if they do.

I mean, everything I've seen of the game suggests that it was written and pushed by the half-shaved haircut Twitter crowd. So some people will hate that and everything it means for the game.

The high point for me is probably what was shown of the city. I dig the southwestern vibes given off.

I imagine the people calling it outdated or stale are probably correct in large part. The formula has been done before: Saints Row itself has a half dozen games now.

Those scores do not surprise me in the least.

Thats what happens when Volition listens to the fucking pathetic humourless crowd that went "wahh wahh wahh we have no sense of humour. We dont like humour in our games. We dont like Saints 3 & 4's humour wahh wahh wahh! It is the humour in Saints 3&4 that made those games for me and why they are amongst my most played games.

It is also what happens when you base your game on hot garbage like Red Dead Redemption.

After reading about the game over the last several months I had this nagging feeling that would get middling scores.

I still want to play it but not until it comes to Xbox Gamepass or goes on sale.

Yeah. It's hard to tell how serious reviewers are taking games like these without reading into it so much you ruin the fun surprises. I remember being surprised people cared so much about everything I shrugged off about 4. I wasn't there for the same reasons.
