Kotaku: These days, Saints Row is very much a household name in gaming. It's a critically successful franchise, a game that has become notorious through its marketing and gimmickry, but also by being a whole lot of fun.
The Saints Row concept really came into its own in the third game, which I liked quite a bit. The over-the-top seeds that were planted for that game were sewn during Saints Row 2. But of all the games in the series, I actually became the most gruelingly addicted to the first one, back when it was just called Saints Row.
Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.
Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.
🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh
First 3 games were great. Then 4, Gat out of Hell and the Reboot were flimsy in comparison. Aliens, demons and a weak reboot in terms of intensity made the games forgettable.
Epic Games has just revealed the latest game made available for free for a day on the Epic Games Store, and it's Saints Row.
Lmao wouldn't touch this mf rip off saints row if it was given to me, lmao I'm good still enjoying the real saints rows 1&2 someone should buy this ip n give it the real proper treatment
I saw it was free and it still seemed over priced for what it was and didn't bother adding it to my library
let the lesson be learnt, any more woke crap games will be sent to die, even more if they destroy a well loved franchise.
All I remember from this was I saw the news about how you can't make a well endowed female character and most of the settings don't help much with the female face. However they thought it was completely fine to let you make your character a toilet and went to great legnths to get it added. But yeah a dolled up female was out of the question.
The rebooted Saints Row on PS Plus has seen a huge influx of PS5 and PS4 players — enough to make it the second-biggest PS Plus Essential game debut of 2023.
They are tracking 3.2M PS5 players. They say the Saints Row's PS Plus debut player count fell 23.64% short of the Battlefield 2042 PS Plus debut.
Everyone downloading to see for themselves just how garbage the game actually is, then they'll play a few hours and delete forever lol
They're tracking just the ones who downloaded it not kept playing. These are people seeing if it's good.
How about report numbers of people who kept playing.
Saints row reboot was an embarrassment to the franchise and it killed the developer.
I played the entire game of SR & for me the gameplay experience wasn't bad especially for a PS+ game.
I greatly appreciate someone drawing this to saints row fans attention. As i am a huge fan of the entire series i believe with SR3 the game lost who it was... I fell in love with the original SR but i have to admit SR2 was not only my favorite game in the series but my favorite game of all time. I am sad they took such a dramatic change with the series. Even if some people feel it isnt a huge change i do and i breaks my heart :( great post tho :)
Love the first one bc the online Pimp hand people online all the time....SR2 was great for the co op...saints row 3 same with co op
I think if they combined Saints Row 3's over-the-top story with Just Cause 2's game mechanics...it would be a MASTERPIECE!
Im new to the franchise just started playing last week (sr3) Man i love this game, and the best part is i bought it new for 41 dollars, got it home and put in the online pass and to my surprise i get sr2 for free, i was like that's pretty freaking sweet, but i now going to buy the first one also to get the complete story and to support the devs so they'll keep making this games
