Damn, knowing this reboot was supposed to be the start of the new Saints Row franchise. It’s depressing to just see it crumble down like this.
I mean seriously in the broad scheme of things what happened here? It’s like after SR4 they were all out of ideas.
Let’s try recreating Saints Row 4 but with Johnny Gat as the protagonist … and also he’s now in hell.

And IMO even that would have been okay (plus playing as Kinzie was far better) if it had been actual DLC. It was alright as a “I played SR4, and wish I had ~12-15 more hours to go in it”. It was essentially the same game, some new areas, swapped main char but it matters little, done. It was clearly once much smaller and meant as DLC, tbh.
Saints Row 2022 took a very different direction than all of the previous games combined, and it wasn’t a direction the die-hard fans of the series liked for the most part.
The same thing is gonna happen with the always-online likely DRM-filled freemium Skate 3 sequel called Skate. I can see that one end up flopping and that might kill off the series, and that makes me really sad. It makes me even more sad because it’s the first Skate game in the series actually coming to the PC, and they’re almost guaranteed to fuck it up. Corporate greed is killing gaming, modern gaming is shit for the most part.

Let’s try being Overwatch!
Let’s try starting from scratch!
Let’s try permanently shutting down!
I’m one of the few who saw Saints Row 1&2 as a discount GTA clone and fell in love with Saints Row 3&4.
Honestly I don’t know who the new Saints Row was for.
SR1 was discount GTA, but SR2 was its own thing already.
Huge and detailed world, infinite customisation options, and a story that balanced comedic relief with serious moments.
It’s a shame that the game is so buggy, because I’d replay it a lot more otherwise.
In comparison, SR3 had a lot less content: smaller game world, much shorter story mode, less side quests.
Truthfully Agents of Mayhem isn’t Overwatch… Which is kind of the problem. It wasn’t saints row, It wasn’t a new game. It just kind of existed.
