Is Saints Row IV the last game for Boss and his crew? Volition previously hinted that this was possibly the end of the Saints we know. However, the ending suggests that this might not be the case. *Beware of Spoilers*
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.
devs usually do this to leave room for a sequel..
everything else is just dependant on sales
Spoilers! (The title mentions the ending so that's your second warning.)
I dig the time travel angle. Saints get stuck in like 1930's Stillwater or whatever.
They said it was "the end" when part of THQ. The new studio didn't buy the license just for one game, we all know that lol
Hopefully this time they take their time again though and make big improvements.
My god, i hope this series die's already, after the first two saint's row games
This series has been nothing more than just pure crap gaming...
the sooner it die's the better
