Has Saints Row IV Gotten Too Crazy?

IGN: ''Three IGN editors recently sat down to discuss the latest showing of Saints Row IV, due out August 20 for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.''

As long as it's still fun, then no. We have a bajillian other, nitty gritty titles out there. As long as I get to co-op with my bro, slammin into cars and shootin guns everywhere, I'm there. Only now I can throw fireballs and fly too!

Doctor_Freeman3968d ago

I agree, its looks outrageously crazy and fun.

The only reason I liked SR3 was because it was completely insane and over the top. If I wanted to play GTA I would just play GTA. But unlike the GTA games I actually bought, played, beat, and thoroughly enjoyed SR3. I hope they keep the same over the top craziness and lowball humor.

claud33968d ago

it's got more freaking stupid and sad

It looks like THQ was desperate for some money and told Volition to put everything they wanted into the game as fast as possible and then resell SR3.

perhaps trying to distance themselves from gta. leaving behind their fans from SR1&2 though. merry chrempus guys

Volition's Saints Row 4 PC upgrade was meant to be a make-good, but it broke the game instead

Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.

Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.

I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.

i can't help but laugh at this comment. Gearbox can't even run themselves.
