@@BSPancake Exactly. I was HOPING for a Saints Row 3 in the desert but this game doesn't deliver that at all.

This right here, I played 3 and 4 first then went back and played 2 because of sale and DAMN it was tight even after aging a bit it was still really good and fun and the saints did some horrible things.

Its ok if you like it man, having bad taste isnt a crime. If youre having fun thats all that matters.

I, too, am enjoying the game very much. I am having a great time, and ultimately, that is all that matters. Games are also developed to entertain. It does not matter how many reviews you watch or read; the only person who can determine whether or not you will appreciate anything is you.

Thank you! This was what I was looking for, an opinion from someone who like me isn’t really familiar with the other games in the franchise - it’s even better that you’re familiar with GTA since that’s where I come from as well. I don’t want to know what the game is like compared to the other games in the franchise, I just want to know what the game is like period. Your comment made me jump off the fence about this game.

Definitely check the epic store it goes on sale often

Definitely don't start on this. As a fan who's played all of this, this one is disappointing.

Start with 1 & keep going from there, you won’t be disappointed

Another vote for SR3. Was a lot of fun.

@@E1evenDegrees until you get to this rebooted piece of garbage

Elden Ring is way better than this shit

Thing I loved about SR2 is you could tackle any of the gangs in any order. It meant that you got a good storyline and characters from each arc. I hated that it had a more rigid storyline in 3 and that Phillipe was almost immediately killed.

@@jameslazaridis4180 yeah, how dare I like things and be fond of something that was made with good ideas and creativity. What a moron I am.

I can find some fun to be had playing the game and that could be partly because I have barely any soul to speak of either but please don't go ruining other people's fun with the game.

I hoped they were going for more of the vibe that SR2 had. I'll probably still check it out once I finish what I'm currently playing

I absolutely adored SR3 back in the day. When 4 came out I was very excited but ended up playing for maybe two hours max because I ended up really not liking it. I was stoked to see them doing this reboot but feel quite disappointed. It just doesn’t look fun or even unique. Glad to have a channel that gives honest genuine reviews though.

I liked sr4 with the whole matrix vibez gat from hell was basically the same as sr4 you just playing as gat which was fun for me but I bought all the games on digital sale sooo my views might be one-sided 😅😅

@@nigelturner5300 same even tho sr4 was major diff I still enjoyed it just as a superhero game I didn’t go into the game thinking it’s gonna be like sr2 it’s all about your perspective when starting the game

What would patches possibly do?

I had a friend that made fun of me for being excited for a game called steelrising and he said this would be better

Pre-ordering digital games these days is pointless. Not like preordering a game then collecting from Electronics Boutique at midnight. ahh the good old days.

I came into Saints Row with the 3rd. I honestly really enjoyed it since GTA pivoted even more into a realistic tone in story and visuals at that time( which I did enjoy as well). I don't know who they're trying to market the new one too since..The physics are extremely whacked, more crazy that 3 and 4, but they want to tell a visual style of the first two? Identity crisis for sure. 🤕

@@Estirvana It screams out to me that the project changed its focus and direction 4-5x during development and I can almost guarantee that the lead person in charge of this reboot changed multiple times as well. I am super disappointed I wanted to pick this game up on launch but I think I will wait for a big sale before I consider trying it out.

@@LeechyFC I want to be extremely optimistic.I know fans of 1 & 2 have been dying to get a new Saints Row with similar vibe for a long time now. I just want more of 3 without the insanity of 4- hoping this reboot isn't the last.

I enjoyed the sandbox super power game in SR4, but as a Saints Row game it sucks ass. That plot is garbage. I agree overall, 2 does have my fondest memories from the series. Honestly maybe after 3 they should have done a “reboot” style game with a new gang starting from the ground up, maybe even with The Saints still existing but this new gang is rising after The Boss has stepped down or gone into hiding or something and The Saints have lost their way. But retaining the humor and ideas of past games instead of a full reboot or trying to continue the story past 3 (which they did do, and it sucked (again, talking plot and not gameplay)).

Yeah 2 was awesome. I miss chilling at the airport shooting at the planes taking off and watch them hit max speed within a second and crash usually.

We weren't kicking it while it was done to enjoy it. Og fans didnt like the game because it was everything we didnt want. Imagine supporting a company that made 2 great gangster games from 2006-2008. From 2010 they release a decent game sr3 it gets some new fans but the majority are the OG fans arent feeling it. The gangsters are now celebrities. we give them advice and say we dont like the direction they went let's take it back to the gangster stuff and finish an important plot line that the game ignored. Instead they release gangsters going to space and fighting aliens in sr 4 again we didn't ask for this we want the gangster stuff back. They then proceed to release gat out of hell were the saints go to hell to fight satan and do Disney sing alongs, these guys are suppose to be gangsters like wtf. They release agents of mayhem which flops. Then they tease the OG fans with a picture that makes it seem like they will be going back to the gangster stuff and guess what they dont instead they actively make it clear that they will be avoiding everything that made sr1 and 2 special. OG Fans are mad and try to give volition actual criticism instead of taking criticism from the fans they send out a tweet saying haters gonna hate TO A FANBASE THATS BEEN LOYAL TO THEM FOR OVER A DECADE. Go search up house hexagon and he'll clear things up even more. If you got treated like this as a consumer you'd have every right to be mad people calling us "band wagon haters" dont actually know the full story go checkout the history of saints row and its fanbase

I don't understand, people say bad things because of bad things how do you relate that to "kicking it while it's down"???

@@TheRealDarth_Vader I agree with what you say and from what I've seen its annoyed me too as SR 2 is one of my favourite games and I had high expectations for this. I could even look past the new reboot first controversial trailer until I saw the game properly. What I should of worded better in my response is that I don't like the over clickbaitin titles that everyone is using saying do not buy this game at all. All jumping on the same bandwagon whenever a new game flops. Gameranx always try to see some positives in games as well as show the negatives. It isn't a barrage of one sided opinions.

@@nBasedAce Wasn't trying to shit on it. It just didn't hit the same marks as the first one did, at least for me. if you enjoyed 3 that's great, I'm glad you did.

And it having the same mechanics as the first game doesn't mean it will be as good. What made Crackdown 1 great back then, isn't exactly revolutionary nowadays. And for me it just didn't offer anything new. And with Saint's Row, I'm just gonna give it some time. Let them patch some things up, maybe add some new content and then I might be willing to pick it up later. Doesn't look bad at all, it just doesn't grab my attention right now.
