      Nobody is overlooking how stupid the game's plot is. As someone who really liked SR1-2 for its story and its well done understanding of the politics in the story, I am well aware of how unbelievably ignorant, and generally stupid the reboot's plot is. This game is about people who live in condos thinking not having a top price waffle maker is a struggle. Turning Saints Row into Friends is right. Like what crime drama even out today would have a plot and characters like this?. The game feels like just a mashup of tweets that they told each other, and wrote out for their plot or something.
      Like their writer and director can tell you they didn't know what they were doing without telling us they didn't know what they were doing. The plot isnt even bad for its genre, it doesn't make a lick of sense for whatever it was about let alone it being a poor representation of gangsters, even if they were deconstructive. Gangsters come from poverty, but this game isnt about that. There is no way it could have been that hard to just research shit instead of just trying to appeal to journalists and twitter.

      And it goes from 'I can pitch in twenty!' to 'Lets go rob a store!' in the span of about a minute. At this point in time at least two of you have reputable jobs and the store is a block from your house, no one wears masks and you literally murder the police who come after you. The game has no sense of pacing at all.

Fast forward to release day and my dad buys it and we both play it and we kept our expectations low because we heard about the backlash and it was something.....we beat the game to get the full verdict and my dad then says to me "this is hot fucking trash" and i agree.

    I had a good laugh last night when I went to see how people were reacting to Volition merging with Gearbox and saw that they had released a major patch for the game just hours prior. I laughed because literally every comment I read was either "they didn't fix X or Y" or "Z is now even worse after this patch." The most significant example was the aiming; I dropped the game before finishing it because of how fucking awful the aiming acceleration was, and apparently now it's even worse. I don't know how that's possible but I have no desire to reinstall the game and find out.

Delayed for 6 months and changed nothing, game is still a mess on release, 200 patches now post release, and its still busted. Where did they seriously find these programmers? Or were their priorities just way too absorbed in their stupid marketing, or thought their younger fans would just care about the customization? Like this reboot way too much money into optics, messaging and trying to shutdown feedback than actual work into it being a good game. Even non fans think its mediocre.

    They're just buying whatever the newest game is and going to the theater for the newest movies.
    Ie, consoomers.
    They didn't care about Saints Row 1 to 5, probably didn't even know about them. They just saw this advertised as the newest city sandbox game, and got it on a whim.
    None of them even beat it.
    They don't have time.
    So that's who this is for. This was made for the average consumer, who doesn't have time to think too much about little things cuz they're just tryna live life and only ever want to blow off steam for an hour or 2 when they have free time.

      It only works with fat dudes, any character that's ripped is going to seem immediately off-putting and douchey if they refuse to wear one and their bare chest is only going to serve as a reminder of that first impression.

    Release an update where you get to play as the bad guy and your goal is to eliminate the current protagonists.

    I'll NEVER get tired of people shitting on my former second-favorite gaming franchise. Volition not only deserved this failure, but they deserved immediate firing/closing and Guinness Book of World Records level of shame for how fuckin' BAD this game is. Saints Row 2 is my favorite console game ever, and this reboot is the antithesis of everything that game was, _from 15 years ago._

    LMAO the bucket of bullets part is accurate, in most games like red dead online using a revolver over a pistol can be annoying becaue it takes 4 out of 6 shots to kill a ruthless difficulty enemy, once you put it on that level you can forget about 1 hit sniper shots, i hate games that make bullet sprung AI, i think gta 4 did balancing perfectly with damage.

      I can't speak for the offline but man an online game is gonna have bullet sponge enemies, no shit. Lol
      It needs to artificially increase difficulty because it's online and you can be helped via other players.

That's why yall losers won't understand that ignorantly using a word such as woke won't change its actual meaning.
