I love how the developers thought turning to a life of bloodshed and crime was relatable just because the characters are doing it to pay student loans. I can't believe they thought these people would be likeable
You can have make awful people relatable on some level, but this definitely isn't it. The biggest issue is the fact that they all talk like Big Bang Theory characters and obviously despise one another. Maybe if they actually talked with one another and did shit because they thought it'd be fun they wouldn't be so despised. Take the waffle maker scene as an example. It's just a bunch of petty assholes insulting one another and acting like absolute cheapskates over a fucking waffle maker. Why are they even insulting one another and refusing to toss in money for a waffle maker? Why the fuck are they even buying one? They're criminals. Just have them shoplift one together.
@@kingtut5520 Okay thank God I wasn't the only one confused by the waffle maker scene. It didn't make sense at all. They're all so casual about stealing cars and killing people (and don't believe in doing business with "morally corrupt corporations" such as Marshall's) but we definitely need to legally buy a $300 waffle maker? Sure I guess. Just makes the characters motivations confusing and make them unrelatable.
“I’m just trying to be part of a private military sector so I can pay off my student loans! Are we gonna make rent?!” Such ridiculous writing. They’re criminals who steal and make a shitload of cash, and they’re talking about making rent like it’s soooo totally relatable to the current generation. I cringe so hard hearing the dialogue that my anus collapses in on itself like a neutron star.
It would actually be hilarious if it wasnt terribly written. Like, theres something golden about hardened criminals just tryna make ends meat. Like rome in fast and the furious.
There could be something funny there as satire; that even hardened big criminals can't escape the all consuming hole of privatization and rent, similar to how in Robocop corporations having control over the justice system for a dollar. But like in Robocop it requires a lot of cleverness, wit and soul in the writing to make it work: something the writers for this game evidently lack.
Blackwater mercs apparently make $9k a month. It might have worked if they made it a kind of dystopian cyber-city, where life is cheap and death is common, but then they wouldn't be making a Saint's Row game and these annoying brats still wouldn't fit in.
In the old games there would've probably been a mission where you deal with an imposter gang and it's these chucklefucks. And Gat or Pierce or somebody would ask, "Yo, do we really sound like this?" Followed by the cockney accented reply, being, "maybe we do, but at least we can back it the fuck up."
I watched an interview with Tony Hawk on his skating games. He was talking about how he makes “real” money when his games hit “classic” and drop down to $20 a game. This game could be a way to drive sales of the MULTIPLE games they have in classics (whether intentional or not).
Ah, the same strategy automakers use in the US to justify not selling wagons in the USA, and the strategy Nintendo uses to justify not making games with non A-list IPs
The old saints row games would mock this new game. It’s so sad how we went from upcoming new saints gang member, trying to take back stilwater and revenging Aisha, getting revenge for Johnny and taking over this new city filled with crazy new mechanics and missions, becoming President but fighting off aliens, shooting Satan in the face. To what paying student loans? The Boss and Johnny would tag team beating these new saints to the ground. Disgusting.
bro the new saints barely got alive robbing a country side bank for a small payoff while the OG saints get asked for autograph while robbing a major rival gang bank and almost went away with a whole ass vault chamber
I love how they thought the word Rimjobs might offend someone, but killing people by the thousands is absolutely fine. Not only is the game not finished, i don't even think the people that made it are finished... brain wise.
It reminds me when Borderlands changed midgets to tinks in Borderlands 3. It was a *completely* unnecessary change that offended absolutely nobody to begin with.
"This is like the game Saints Row would have made fun ago ten years ago" It seems inevitable for just about every single Triple-A developer. Rise to power, fall farther than you ever climbed.
This game is not made by anyone that made the original games. It's literally a rip off by corpo scum executives that are so extremely disconnected from reality they didn't realize the franchise was satire.
@@nabs7741 because 4 was literally created as DLC for Saints Row 3 and was just made into its own game because the DLC was big enough to be sold as one. This is common knowledge about the game dude

The comedic timing of Charlie making comments only to immediately be proved wrong by AI Kevin is great. Also, the police car missing that turn and the two monster truck incidents had me crying
Its entirely possible in current year. Like Arthur Morgan said. "This...this is over." All the real talent is long gone, now the hacks "learned to code."
I found a better solution: You just pirate the game, bypass the launcher entirely. It also fixes a bug where $60 suddenly go missing from your RL bank account.
@@eddiebell9486 honestly, i was sceptical cause of all the people bashing on it. But after playing for 2 hours. I really got into it and honestly, I am enjoying myself.
I actually would've given a shit if the game was just well-made "College students join a gang to pay off their loans" sounds funny enough. But they forget to make the game fun, the characters likable, and polish the graphics and animation
This series had a DLC weapon that literally shoves a probe up someone's ass until they die from it... Yet the words "Rim Jobs" was too offensive to be in this game?
The car physics are crazy too. Its def fun to drive in this game. They had everything right to make a good game they just handed off the script to some kid in the bay area
When I heard we were getting another Saints Row, I was excited. When I heard it was a reboot, I was worried. Here we are a few years later. I was right to be worried.
If there wasnt a sea of speds who buy garbage like this just for nostalgia bait it wouldn't happen, they just re-make a game and totally destroy what it once was and even though its happened again and again for years people still pre-order this trash, MW2 will be the next example of this.

I’d like to point out the fact Volition said they would give Saints Row 2 a proper fix almost 3 years ago. Only 2 people were working on it and sadly NinjaIdol died (the other person working on the patch and made Gentlemen of the Row mod.) meaning only 1 person is working on it. So while 1 guy is trying to fix the best Saints Row in the series Volition crew or heads of Volition decided to waste their time making this game, insult players who criticize the games direction (players who are long time fans) and leave behind some iconic Saints Row stuff like the names of the companies for the sake of being more “sensitive” and leave the “edgy” past behind.
Them changing rimjobs is so baffling. Like who in their right mind would get upset by that when playing what's supposed to be a saints row game of all things. It's just as confusing and makes as little sense as rockstar saying they're getting rid of or toning down the edgy jokes, or dark humor and stereotyping, and etc for GTA 6 when that's literally a large part of what makes GTA
Not to mention they straight up got rid of the old african american voice actor. Like that voice was iconic since Saints Row 2 and they axed him like he was nothing. Fuck Volition.
So the patch is still in the works? I thought it was just the guy who passed away working on it. Volition basically, in promoting this turd, disowned the original games as games they wouldn’t make now. So I don’t have much faith in them wanting them fixed or remembered. Let alone what we should’ve got instead, a remaster of 1 and 2. But now I wouldn’t trust them to do that as they’d sanitize the hell out of them
I don’t feel bad for Volition, after people criticized the trailer and they just said “fuck you” and “trolled” their fans on Twitter who had concerns about the game. Don’t feel bad for them if they go bankrupt because they made a game for the type of people who don’t play games yet are offended by them.
Volition also literally told people straight up, "We remastered Saints Row 3 before 1 and 2 because it sold well" and told fans to fuck off. They only respond to money, so I stopped giving them money for their shit personalities.
Some people just like being wrong, they live as a good, respected companies, like Blizzard or Volition, and one day it's just a "i want to be wrong... it's boring being successful" mood, you know?
Its not like we did not see it coming... 1. Insulting fans 2. Ignoring actual feedback and criticism 3. Consulting an activist for the game 4.Censorship 5.Bugs 6.Terrible writing and characters 7.Reboot
to anyone who is reading this I hope whatever you're going through ends up being alright and whatever you're struggling with ends up being okay. you got this!
Just like Assassin's Creed and Shadow of Mordor. Christ, between that and several other things about this game, are we so sure it wasn't actually made by Ubisoft?
They don’t care anymore it’s just a cash-grab. In this day and age your better off buying indie games like Ready or Not, Squad, Ground Branch, etc. The only game studio I have any faith left in anymore is Rockstar.

@@jackjohnaroni3 really hasn't aged well. Replaying the remaster I got about 3 hours in and found it incredibly bland. 2 on the otherhand minus the piss poor port has held up well.
I remember saints row being about gangs and drugs and seriousness. Creating bonds with characters and they die so you’d get revenge. This look family friendly😂
It was never really serious but the first two did an amazing job combining humour and self awareness with serious moments and great fleshed out characters. They didn't take themselves too seriously and focused on fun and humour, while taking themselves seriously enough that you could get invested and deliver some hard hitting moments.
The character creation for women feels like an afterthought. In SR4 my friend and I were strutting down the street in stilettos and fishnets twerking on top of cars. Where is that in this game? There’s not even a feminine walk style so my lady character walks like she always about to punch you in the face. Also that triangle body slider has always been awful but at least in the older games they had *some* hips and boobs. We can’t get that invested in the gameplay because we aren’t connected to our characters.
It is 100% intentional, especially considering the presets. It's like they were trying really hard to stop players from creating attractive characters.
I wish they had sliders to make better female body shapes for my character. They create a character lacked that when it was being improved in other saints row games.
7:10 Am I the only person that thought. “You’re criminals! Why do you need to pay back your loans?” When this game came out. Since, that’s the whole motivation for the story.

I don't understand how companies are just ok with releasing broken, unfinished games like this. It's clear that customers are starting to finally get tired of this, and hopefully won't pay for this kind of garbage anymore.
The reason is these companies have shareholders and they promise deadlines. The further you push something back or fail to deliver the more those shareholders drop their support because pushing something back costs mord money.
They don't care, they want their agenda pushed and to destroy what you loved while doing it. That's why this is a reboot too but called "Saints Row" ...these people are evil
@@aubreypressley1450 Yeah, no way the devs are happy about having to release it like this either after they've been working on it for years, but it's not up to them
It's sad to see that this is how Saints Row is now, they really should've just continued with the story of the Saints Row crew that we had the past 3 games, even know it had gotten pretty out of hand and silly, it was still enjoyable and I was interested with what would happen to the crew next
@@VioletMilks I prefer the more grounded games with the over the top boss character and just being a general badass. 4 killed the series for me and I was hoping this would be more grounded and enjoyable but it seems they threw years of open world immersion tech into the dumpster along with good writing. I don’t even think Gat saying these lines would be funny in an ironic way they’re that bad. Also the speed limiter in a criminal enterprise game is hilarious.
The restart from Gat outta Hell could’ve been a return to the style of 2, with the original members, but everything different. Different gangs, returning members from 3 and 4.
In the Mafia games, you could limit your speed. But it served a purpose. Cops would chase you down for a ticket if you went too fast. Also, it made the game even more immersive than it already was. But a limit in a Saints Row game is just pointless and dumb. This game is straight garbage. I knew it would be bad from the first trailer, but it is worse than I could have ever imagined.
I tried playing Saints Row 2 again after playing this for a few hours. Saints Row 2 is better in literally every way except graphically. Combat feels better, guns sound better and feel better, cutscenes are more entertaining and have better humor. It's sad to think there will probably never be a spiritual successor to the greatest game in the franchise Saints Row 2.
@@Mackenzie002 Now that's just being disingenuous. It's clearly the best looking Saints Row. That said it does still look like a game that should have been a launch title for Xbox One. Not even close to today's standards.
Man I miss Saints Row 2 and 3. Totally unhinged, non-cringey humor (for the most part) and nuts-to-butts action all in a nice package. Now it's just chaotic for the sake of it, and there's almost no semblance of an effort to make a good game. Reminds me of the old Borderlands vs the new ones.
@@BS-jg7dy I agree the story might not have been the best and it had a few annoying characters but overall they stuck to rule #1 of making games "is it fun" which yeah BL3 is fun, the DLC were also pretty damn satisfying and arguably better written than the main campaign. Mayhem and scaling were very well done, even if you got to crazy OP levels of damage 1 solid mistake in a boss fight could absolutely end you on mayhem 10. Gun mechanics and sounds got an awesome rework and everything is satisfying to shoot, cosmetics were awesome and were all obtainable loot and not micro transactions, character abilities are fun to use and tweaking you character build with different gear was also fun like making zane embody "IM FAST AS FUCK BOI" I would also pic BL3 for re playability over the new tiny tine (just felt lacking with most bosses just having high damage AOE attacks as their only danger/gimmic)

@@kingtut5520 Okay thank God I wasn't the only one confused by the waffle maker scene. It didn't make sense at all. They're all so casual about stealing cars and killing people (and don't believe in doing business with "morally corrupt corporations" such as Marshall's) but we definitely need to legally buy a $300 waffle maker? Sure I guess. Just makes the characters motivations confusing and make them unrelatable.
“I’m just trying to be part of a private military sector so I can pay off my student loans! Are we gonna make rent?!” Such ridiculous writing. They’re criminals who steal and make a shitload of cash, and they’re talking about making rent like it’s soooo totally relatable to the current generation. I cringe so hard hearing the dialogue that my anus collapses in on itself like a neutron star.
Well, he'd hate to be a mass murderer with bad credit...
Yeah a PMC operator worried about making rent… even when they try to be relatable it don’t work.
It would actually be hilarious if it wasnt terribly written. Like, theres something golden about hardened criminals just tryna make ends meat. Like rome in fast and the furious.
There could be something funny there as satire; that even hardened big criminals can't escape the all consuming hole of privatization and rent, similar to how in Robocop corporations having control over the justice system for a dollar.
But like in Robocop it requires a lot of cleverness, wit and soul in the writing to make it work: something the writers for this game evidently lack.
Blackwater mercs apparently make $9k a month.
It might have worked if they made it a kind of dystopian cyber-city, where life is cheap and death is common, but then they wouldn't be making a Saint's Row game and these annoying brats still wouldn't fit in.
Every "saint" in this game seem like the type of NPCS the boss would run over in the old games.

I’d like to point out the fact Volition said they would give Saints Row 2 a proper fix almost 3 years ago. Only 2 people were working on it and sadly NinjaIdol died (the other person working on the patch and made Gentlemen of the Row mod.) meaning only 1 person is working on it. So while 1 guy is trying to fix the best Saints Row in the series Volition crew or heads of Volition decided to waste their time making this game, insult players who criticize the games direction (players who are long time fans) and leave behind some iconic Saints Row stuff like the names of the companies for the sake of being more “sensitive” and leave the “edgy” past behind.
Them changing rimjobs is so baffling. Like who in their right mind would get upset by that when playing what's supposed to be a saints row game of all things. It's just as confusing and makes as little sense as rockstar saying they're getting rid of or toning down the edgy jokes, or dark humor and stereotyping, and etc for GTA 6 when that's literally a large part of what makes GTA
They legit shot themselves in the foot for GTA 6 to takeover the genre for next couple years again lmao
Not to mention they straight up got rid of the old african american voice actor. Like that voice was iconic since Saints Row 2 and they axed him like he was nothing. Fuck Volition.
So the patch is still in the works? I thought it was just the guy who passed away working on it. Volition basically, in promoting this turd, disowned the original games as games they wouldn’t make now. So I don’t have much faith in them wanting them fixed or remembered. Let alone what we should’ve got instead, a remaster of 1 and 2. But now I wouldn’t trust them to do that as they’d sanitize the hell out of them
@@trial_with_an_error9687 dude was actually in it since sr1
5:50 is literally just Montgomery McQueen saying "I'm stuck in hillbilly hell! I'm becoming one of them."
I don’t feel bad for Volition, after people criticized the trailer and they just said “fuck you” and “trolled” their fans on Twitter who had concerns about the game. Don’t feel bad for them if they go bankrupt because they made a game for the type of people who don’t play games yet are offended by them.
I find it ironic that in Saints Row 1 and 2 they insulted this type of game. Now it’s all they know how to make.
Volition also literally told people straight up, "We remastered Saints Row 3 before 1 and 2 because it sold well" and told fans to fuck off.
They only respond to money, so I stopped giving them money for their shit personalities.
It's a real shame though. I would pay double price for a proper SR2 remaster. This game had such potential. Then the trailer dropped.

God I hate today's pc culture
I was downright heartbroken knowing one of my favourite games would have a terrible remaster like most game remasters.
my man mr white
I"m not even mad at the remaster, but they took Gat 😭
This isnt a remaster, its a reboot
this is a reboot not a Remaster
@@adamk.7177 I disagree respectfully. Saints Row 1 was great for its time.
Why tf does everything in this game behave like it's doused in nitro glycerin?!
Man I miss Saints Row 2 and 3. Totally unhinged, non-cringey humor (for the most part) and nuts-to-butts action all in a nice package. Now it's just chaotic for the sake of it, and there's almost no semblance of an effort to make a good game. Reminds me of the old Borderlands vs the new ones.
At least with borderlands 3 its only cringey half the time
@@BS-jg7dy I agree the story might not have been the best and it had a few annoying characters but overall they stuck to rule #1 of making games "is it fun" which yeah BL3 is fun, the DLC were also pretty damn satisfying and arguably better written than the main campaign. Mayhem and scaling were very well done, even if you got to crazy OP levels of damage 1 solid mistake in a boss fight could absolutely end you on mayhem 10. Gun mechanics and sounds got an awesome rework and everything is satisfying to shoot, cosmetics were awesome and were all obtainable loot and not micro transactions, character abilities are fun to use and tweaking you character build with different gear was also fun like making zane embody "IM FAST AS FUCK BOI" I would also pic BL3 for re playability over the new tiny tine (just felt lacking with most bosses just having high damage AOE attacks as their only danger/gimmic)
@@aveng3r89 all bl3 needed was a dialogue skip button and it'd be fine to play through again,(that's the biggest complaint for it, you have to wait till people stop talking to progress)
SR3 sucks.
@Cosmic Borderlands 3 writing was so bad the only way I finished was by turning off the character voices half way through. Couldn't go 15 minutes without a headache with them on.
Volition was literally told this game was a bad idea by everyone and just gave us all the middle finger.
sigma volition
And I’m glad they did. I’m enjoying it.
@@WhiteTenpenny badass!!
to anyone who is reading this I hope whatever you're going through ends up being alright and whatever you're struggling with ends up being okay. you got this.
To come from great Saints Row games like Saints Row 1 and 2 to this tragedy is just depressing.
Saints Row IV was even worse IMO
@@NASCARFAN93100 At least it worked just fine,unlike this piece of crap.
@@NASCARFAN93100 at least 4 was some what like the others
@@sendit5473 fr, saints row IV was better than this
If you don't follow the opinions dictated to you by internet personalities and play the game, you'd realise this is the best SR game since 2.
Yeah the developers either didnt give a shit, were under payed, or wanted to make a bad game on purpose. Or even a combination of all three of those. No one's buying the next game Voiltion makes.
The devs lost their shit on Twitter, they genuinely think this game is good
Damn, that’s a shame. I remember playing through Saints Row 3 and having a blast with all its absurd antiques.
If u enjoy 3 you should enjoy this one. Try the game for yourself, u might like it.
@@AkaHoodie nah this game is garbage as you can tell by charlie playing this. writing sucks and gameplay sucks so yeah worthless game.
@@AkaHoodie game is Awful 😭
I mean u can still do that in this one tho....ppl just don't like the characters
@@burningdeadman gameplay? Now ur just capping.
Play the game for urself.
Sr 3 writing wasn't that good either
The only thing I can see from this game that even slightly resembles any of the other games are the menus...you take the Saints Row name off of this game and it really has nothing
When they announced this game I got excited for all of 2 seconds and then I remembered we’ll never see a game like the first one again
I just realized, Moist's character looks like the old man from monster house but on steroids
