Fan Outrage Focuses on Saints Row: The Third

With the recent announcement of the new Saints Row: The Third expansion pack, Enter The Dominatrix, fans were outraged. This pack was originally brought to the player’s attention on April 1st as everyone thought it was an April fool’s joke, however, now we have been informed that this is far from a joke. What THQ has is a game that they attempted to make every gamer love instead of having fans of a select genera stick with the franchise. Saints Row: The Third was intended for both fans old and new but in the end it has proven to be a bigger let down to people who previous loved the series, not to mention those who picked up their first Saints Row title as Saints Row: The Third seem to be getting a little burnt out with all the ‘fun’. What is it that drove the diehard fans of the series away from Saints Row: The Third and what is keeping new fans from continuing to love the game?

I really wish the series was more like how it was in Saints Row 2. i love the humor in the third and i ever love the game but the "over-the-top" stuff they got in it gets old fast :/ i want answers from the first games not a bunch of pointless bull crap lol

kamruk4369d ago

i personally loved the saints row 2 (never played 1) for it's take on the "gangster tale" being over the top and crude, but at the same time well written in a fun way. it felt like what action games would have been like if they would have developed straight from the colourful wacky era of video games, it felt fresh in comparison to todays market.

TheSuperior 4369d ago

that is exactly how i feel. i just think before it was funny but still cool and gangster. now i just dont have as huge of a connection to it

Gamer19824369d ago

I agree the secret stuff in SR2 left a cliffhanger ending that was never answered in SR3 they should continue that. Or if they are going to do an expansion do a return to stillwater expansion with the SR3 engine.

Hufandpuf4369d ago

Is the DLC even worth buying? I've heard the DLC only lasts for 2-3 hours when they were supposed to be expansions.

Janitor4369d ago

No, it's crap. I got it free with season pass pre-order, and that's what it should cost everyone: $0

Gamer19824369d ago

The other DLC were a giant waste of money I bought the season pass and I wish I didn't this has put me off pre-ordering DLC in the future. Especially as this new DLC doesn't come free with it? That's a joke!

Janitor4369d ago

Yeah, that was a short "season" huh.

Dark_Overlord4368d ago

Same here, usually season pass's include ALL DLC, this joke of a pass included 4 packs? and that was it. Complete rip off, aint ever buying a season pass from them again

TheColbertinator4369d ago

Regardless I'm excited for the expansion.

ZeroChaos4369d ago

I guess it was less story driven and more weird and wacky plots. Which were really cool, but they were more like Michael Bay.

Saints Row 1 and possibly 2 had heart. In this their like the Million Dollar man, perfect in every way yet its missing its soul what made it SR.

TheModernKamikaze4369d ago

Does thq know the meaning taking a joke too far?

Saints Row - Where it All Began

Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.

banger8845d ago

Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.

kevco3345d ago

Or an angry purple streak in their hair to demonstrate they're a rebel.

SimpleSlave45d ago

And they claimed this place was one of the outhouses for Gamers™ and gamerGate Incels. Pfft! But look at bangerBro99's amazing display of Homo-eroticism. How far we've come.

So proud of you, bud. Now you go grab them balls and have all the fun. 👍

Outstanding!

PhillyDonJawn45d ago

They should remaster the first 2.

1nsomniac44d ago

I think the first one was the best in the series by a long, long way!

Demetrius44d ago

🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh

TheColbertinator44d ago

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.

Profchaos44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

But even 3 ventured into rediculas territory with zombies and stag. Zombies in 3 to me was just a hey you know what's popular zombies let's do that

TheColbertinator44d ago

The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.

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

Gamingsince1981115d ago

I saw it was free and it still seemed over priced for what it was and didn't bother adding it to my library

RiseNShine115d ago

let the lesson be learnt, any more woke crap games will be sent to die, even more if they destroy a well loved franchise.

BlackOni114d ago

Contrary to your arbitrary argument, this game didn't fail due to "wokeness" lol.

phoenixwing115d ago (Edited 115d ago )

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.

HankHill114d ago

Attractive females are offensive in current year.

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.

shinoff2183225d ago

I downloaded it to try but I was never much of a Saint row fan to begin with. If they re released the older ones I'd probably try them to.

jeromeface224d ago

its sad we live in an time where people seek out retro software vs playing whats fresh and new

shinoff2183224d ago

Jeromeface that's funny as shit. I've complained tremendously about ff16 and you know what I get told

If you want turn based go play the older ones.

Anyway I play new shit all the time. Had a blast with star ocean 6, tails of arise, ys newest games. But I can do both. Play retro and new stuff. Sad thing is alot of new stuff I find whack atleast alot of the aaa games , I'm not a huge fan of shooters,online games, online shooters and gatcha games and that's alot of the shit shoveled out.

There's still plenty of dope stuff coming out though

Baldurs gate looks good
Yakuza
Ys
Got a dragon quest some year
As much as I bitch about cyberpunk I'm looking forward to that dlc(hope it ain't broke)

It's refreshing to have a mix.

CrimsonWing69224d ago

@jeromeface

Um, that’s because the stuff from the SNES to PS3 era were way better than what we have now.

Publishers/Devs were willing to take risks and it wasn’t all about GaaS or monetization. Games felt like they were made with passion and not afraid to try things. Yea we started the whole DLC trend in 7th gen, but the most a season pass cost back then was $15.

The industry has really shifted and the whole trying to translate the mobile game model to consoles and all this talk about games being too expensive to make like a Baldur’s Gate 3 is depressing.

shinoff2183224d ago

Crimson looks like it's just me and you on that one. Alot of these most be people under 25 or something

TallDarknWavy224d ago

I really liked 3, although part 4 tried to be a superhero game and it was just dumb as shit.
This game is also dumb as shit as the writing is peak poor, there are no jokes that I'm aware of as I never laughed once, and it's glitchy and disorganized AF. The story makes no sense, as it's typical campy "Oh hey we're doing crazy things like killing people etc." but everyone is somehow super chill about the mass murder as if it's nothing. This is common theme amongst today's trash woke writers.

Vengeance1138225d ago

Everyone downloading to see for themselves just how garbage the game actually is, then they'll play a few hours and delete forever lol

dumahim224d ago

I add everything to the library, but I'll never get to it. My Plus sub ends in Dec.

ravens52224d ago

Me too lol. Black Friday is the only chance of me renewing. But I have all the games from when ps5 came out. Soooooo many ps4 games and a bunch of ps3 ps+ games. All soon to be gone cause fuck that $80. I'll just buy what games I want.

InUrFoxHole224d ago

That's one of the best features. Adding to library without having to download it

This is what most people do to even good games, including gamepass. Kind of funny when you think about it.

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.

Elda224d ago (Edited 224d ago )

I played the entire game of SR & for me the gameplay experience wasn't bad especially for a PS+ game.
