Yoooo. This game f***ing sucks on every possible level. The writing is bad, the gameplay is bad, it looks bad. How could they have messed up this badly. 🙄

I feel like if I was tasked with Saints Row 4 with a direct follow-up what I'd do is have some sort of time distortion thing where everyone's sent back to prehistoric times, so like there are cars and skyscrapers and shit but it's all interspersed with like a jungle aesthetic and in addition to driving around you can ride around dinosaurs and whatever. Have like evil groups of cavemen drug dealers and the like. It really seemed like the next game was set up to be a riff on Assassin’s Creed.

Just as long as one of the new Saints is a hyper-intelligent velociraptor. You could've even tied that into Enter the Dominatrix because I think that also involved hyper-intelligent velociraptors. Maybe could have like a turf war between lizard dinosaurs and feathered dinosaurs.

Sorry for having an opinion and sharing it? I guess? Your opinion makes it seem like it’s the worst game ever. It’s clearly not. It’s average at worst if most of the review scores are to be believed. I enjoyed it just as much as the other Saints Row games as well.

A mate of mine got it so I had a go of it. Poor optimization aside (it plays worse than Cyberpunk did on a PC and doesn't really look that much better than 4 to be honest), I found the early missions dull and did not connect with the characters at all. And if I can't do that then I'm not going to enjoy the game at all.
As always, another few months to cook would have at least sorted some of the worst bugs and issues out. Nothings going to help that bunch of latte-drinking wazzocks though.

Honestly I was getting bad vibes from its quality just with how much the marketing was pushing, "Look at all this customization!" while seemingly going out of its way to not actually show gameplay. And the customization demo was really shitty anyway.

I'll wait for a sale, especially since I'll get on PC, and its only on Epic right now. Besides I just bought SR: The Third... For the THIRD time haha.

And the customization demo was really shitty anyway. I work at gamestop the ad that's been playing for months had only focused on the Wingsuit... and before that it focused on the car customization. You'd think there'd be some story trialer or something but nope... wingsuit and Cars.

It’s a boring mess and a slog.

I'm not spending £50 on this. I'm waiting for it to go on sale.

People are definitely setting their standards too high and expecting too much.

It looks like one of those games that isn't very good, but since so many of the wrong people came out against it, there's kind of an obligation to defend it to stick it to them and throw it in their faces.
But I was already turned off by SR4, so that's not remotely enough to bring me back.

It was slow for me to get into at first, but I've been enjoying it. Is it the best? No. Is it the worst? No. Could they improve on some things? Definitely. However, I've been enjoying it so that's what matters to me.
I will say that if you're planning on getting it, get it at a discount price.

Slept on it, gave it another chance today and it's running better. Driving is legit fun, but the writing is atrocious. This feels like it was written by people who have zero interactions with real people outside of Twitter.

I’m not without some complaints. Namely, the weapons. Every mission I’ve played so far takes away half the guns I have equipped when the mission starts and the skins I apply completely disappear whenever I even start a quest. What’s the point of weapon load outs and customization if they’re just going to be taken away during missions?
