QJ: ''As the days of gamescom approach, good news has been in something of a lull. However, that won't stop me from weighing in on this week's hottest stories! Today I'll be lending my thoughts on how Microsoft's pleasure translates to the pain of Wii U, Saints Row and even Phil Fish. These are some opinions you surely don't want to miss!''
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.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
Juan at SwitchWatchTV got his hands on Saints Row 4 Re-elected for Nintendo Switch. Check out his review here and see what he thinks.
sorry bill gates!! your article is so full of crap, it's not even funny, of coarse the sony and microsoft trolls are going to believe this garbage.. If a five year old wrote an article saying the wii u is doomed, and Iwata stated the wii u will last, the sony and microsoft would believe the five year old before iwata, and iwata will of coarse end up being right!! so sorry trolls enjoy your garbage, the will u is going to last... but what ever helps the little trolls sleep better at night, i guess!! it's asd that people like this have no lives, oh well!
No sympathy for Phil Fish. All these guys claim they go into game development because they're "following their dreams." Then things get hard and they act like their job is the only one in the world with pressure. He's had more success and made more money than most indie developers will see.
And no one is forcing him to be engaged with people on social media. If you can't handle the criticism, then shut down your twitter account. He was VERY hard to like on that indie game documentary, and is even worse on twitter. Good luck with whatever he does; and if he comes back to gaming great. Just hope he doesn't act like he's God's gift to game development.
this article should be called confession of a Casual gamer
Fish shouldn't have badgered his own fans and he wouldn't have had a problem.
