Paul from DJ Podcasts writes "This week on the Daily Joystick Podcast we discuss all the latest gaming news including the recent unboxing of the Xbox One and the brand new headset and 4K HDMI cable included inside every box. Also, we look at the recent MA15 classification for Saints Row IV and compare that to GTAV’s R18 rating and our thoughts on the rating system in general. So tune in for all this, plus our video game reviews, editorials, reader mail, shout outs and more."
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.
Insomnia seriously if you don't like MS and enjoy cupping the sack of Sony, do it in your own private space. What the feck is with recruiting people to Sony? At least MS is making decisions, all Sony does is wait for MS to make its move and then it creates its outcomes. Sony is a follower, not a leader. MS and XB1 will trump Sony this generation.
