Now that the dust has settled, the game has been out for a while now, and now I've played it, all I'll say is this.

I agree with the majority of fans. I did not like it. No hate if you liked it, just...no.

Please Deep Silver. Either remake the original 3 from top to bottom, or just let the Saints rest in peace.

The Saints Row reboot. I'm torn.

On one hand it's a reboot. This is what reboots do: they reinvent the series by keeping similar themes and narrative beats while changing certain aspects to attract new and old fans.

But on the other hand, I am getting some strong Agents of Mayhem vibes.

I'm an OG Saints Row fan. It was the first game I owned on the 360 after weeks of doing gardening work for my neighbours. I played it so much I bricked my console with a RROD two months after I bought it. Not to mention SR2 is one of my favourite RPGs of all time. Remember Carlos? Or the Shogo funeral scene? Or this?

If the reboot turns out good, I'll gladly eat my words and praise it. After all, all we saw today was a cinematic, can't judge it fully without some gameplay or plot. And please don't get me wrong, I WANT it to be good! The premise sounds great! But for now...I'm keeping expectations in check and taking this news with a huge grain of salt.

(And I swear if they leave out Gat or any other characters for DLC...)

#Saints Row #Saints Row Remake #just...the antagonists were horrible #there was no real plot #the whole millenial/genz fighting to clear off student debt and buy a toaster thing was dumb #it gave 'how do you do fellow kids' vibes the entire way #its was way worse than I imagined #it was worse than Agents of Mayhem. way way worse #it was like someone forced agents of mayhem and watch dogs 2 to make a babg and then tripled the cringe humour #oh! and the fucking FORCED RESPECT JOBS THAT I FUCKING LOATHE TO DO #theres more. and they made them somehow less fun #no hate if you enjoyed this game but this is by far the worst SR game #like buy 4 or Gat out of Hell over this game #sure theyre cashgrabs but at least their mechanics WORK. and their storylines make sense and have clear plotlines!#And their antagonist is set up and doesnt just drop out of nowhere!#the LAZIEST form of writing can be nailed down to 'just because' 'magic' and 'why not?'#jesus this game was the worst.#go play SR 1 and 2 for the love of god #3 is good but is 70% side missions. 4 is the same but got fun superpowers at least #agents of mayhem flopped. this flopped. DS just let it die.
