I got excited until I realized they meant the reboot and not the first game in the seriesā¦

Itās a pretty decent game, I still donāt understand why everyone was so down on it. I had a lot of fun playing it, there was decent variety, the gunplay was good, and the silly storylines were entertaining.
The frequent complaints I heard (which I double checked just now against Open Critic) were monotony, uninteresting story and characters, and enough bugs to be annoying.
Iāve heard it was because it was a tame, out of touch, white washed version of a series that used to be edgierā¦
Havenāt played it so I donāt know how true that is.
Itās just different, I donāt know as Iāve gotten older the āedginessā of the older titles doesnāt really hit with me anyways so I didnāt miss it at all and I felt it was replaced with a more modern take on the idea. They did some really fun stuff with it, for example thereās a set of missions where you go LARPing all over the map with dart guns in a kind of weird mix of mad max and high fantasy. I didnāt like the characters in the crew at first either but they grow on you I donāt think the gang in the other games was any less corny or goofy these ones are just more modern takes.
I think edginess had itās time, but itās old hat now. It still feels every bit a madcap gang adventure a Saints game should be. I wouldnāt spend $60 on it, but for $20 itās a winner all day if you just want a dumb fun game. Thereās plenty to do and plenty of actually new gameplay changing things to discover and unlock. Clearing out gangs feels a bit repetitive, but not much different from something like Far Cry 3/4/5/6
Maybe itās not your thing, and I think itās probably fair to level the critique that itās not what the hardcore fans really wanted, but I donāt think the game fails to deliver a good experience overall especially now that itās all bugfixed etc. (which it was shortly after launch but still that launch sucked a little)
I still laugh at the one-liners the PC gives after the boss fights. I fuckinā loved that about the first one. Youāre a silent protagonist, except during these random awkward moments after defeating a boss and then you just deliver the dumbest puns and jokes unexpectedly.
Might have had fun playing it if we didnāt have to try the same mission 5+ times because the vehicle we were meant to steal didnāt spawn in, if when i go to an area to kill the rival gang there its empty. Person i was trying to play with couldnāt get the fast travel points which was a bug as i tried to get it for them by using their computer and couldnāt but on mine i could. Things like that meant we lost interest very quick
Because the series hasnāt done anything new since Saints Row 3. Itās just the same game over and over again, and even that was just a more polished version of Crackdown.
Iām not sure what you mean. Saints Row 4ās large criticism was that it was too different from SRās heritage what with being a super hero game instead of GTA on crack. Past that Gat out of Hell isnāt a mainline title and was even further out there, and then Agents of Mayhem wasnāt even a Saints game, and I enjoyed the hell out of that gameās unique merits.
The SR reboot was the first real Saints Row release since 3, so you could say that it didnāt do enough different (which I canāt speak for, I didnāt play it), but saying the series hasnāt done anything new since 3 is not correct. Whether those games were super great or not is a different discussion, but they were doing something different, unless you just didnāt specify between something different for the series or something different from all other video games.
I loved Agents of Mayhem. Best GI Joe game ever released
It had flaws, but I found the three hero swapping mechanic pretty fun, especially due to each one having a class that made them better or worse against certain enemies, and I loved the whole triple jumping thing, combat felt unique and fun.
The rest of the game has a lot of not so awesome bits, but I found it absolutely good enough to warrant an improved sequel. Hopefully they do something with it one day.
Anything that doesnāt revolutionize a genre is seen as inferior nowadays :/
My biggest complaints about it is awful performance, and that it silently deletes the savegames if I uninstall the game, no cloud save even!
I spent so damn long in the editor creating this kickass Eddie Riggs wannabe and now heās gone because I wanted to wait a bit for a performance patch. š So I havenāt had the motivation to return to the game since I found out.
