Bracken Lee-Rudolph from ITF Gaming writes: The Saint’s Row series has amassed a cult following due to its blend of crude humour, iconic parody and sandbox gameplay on the current gen consoles – as well as its fair share of controversy from crude, violent and drug-related themes. However, developer Volition Inc.’s habit of shrugging off criticism and getting on with their jobs has won more than one fan (including myself), as well as resulted in a series of games that was very true to their original vision. However, as we head into the fourth numbered title in the franchise, will Saint’s Row IV remain true to the ridiculous nature of the Saint’s Row brand?
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.
Well, the author apparently only played Saints Row the third. That is the first over the top and wtf Saints Row game; the first two were not at all like that and tried to be much more serious.
Looking forward to this,should keep me going until gta
