The new Saints Row looks atrocious (gameplay video)

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Looks like a good contender for a "worst reboots ever" top 10 list.

I'm sure the pay wasn't very high for the VA, there is like 8 or something for the MC. So I wouldn't expect something great. Like I said before, I'll get this on steam a year from now when its cheap.

Wasnt this series always “GTA for kids”?
Are they suppose to go for the tastes of some old fucks that bought the game when they were younger.. or to all the kids of today.
Or are preteens too busy with FTP games nowadays?

lol ironically, this video may have sold me on it.
Saints Row has never been seen as some deep serious game or something. This looks like its pulling from that PS2/360 era gameplay tropes that funny enough is a great selling point for the idea of what Saints Row actually is.
Some crazy shooter, sandbox game with vehicles that doesn't take itself seriously. From what I see, I just can't say this is the worst we've seen from a game or something. If someone asked me what gaming is like in 2022, I don't think I'll have an issue showing them this game lol We've seen some bad games where the fucking game isn't even playable, where the AI is so slow, they can't drive cars or come after you or seem to not know you exist or something.
Sorry buds, but this game isn't some shining example of awful games or a bad game or something like that. You simply dislike it, but I'd argue one can say that about the whole Saint's series, but i don't know if I can reach to the level of say those are awful or great examples of bad games or something. I've seen enough from this very video that argues its a working playable game that seems to fit the objective of what they are going for with some sandbox chaos type thing.
So....are there people generally excited for it? I don't know, did you really fucking believe no on disagrees with you and no one will buy this or something? lol the fuck? You do know people have different views in this thing call the world right? lol Thats some narrowminded thinking bud. smh.
Infact, im just done withe the Vancouver part and has arrived on Mars. So this is the future of gaming, this Saints row or what its called?

I've actually seen a lot of people excited for this. Don't really know why. Gameplay looks rough. Story is abysmal.
I forget what video I was watching last week, but they said the camera doesn't "move" with the car while making a turn. You have to manually pan your camera. Not sure if that's a PC only thing or what but yeah, basically a 2002 game with 2015 graphics.

Nah, this is GTA for kids :

lol no.
The game doesn't suggest any of that, in fact it seems to purposely take a step back to those PS2/360 ideas of open world gameplay concepts. So a love letter to those games, homage, fan services to that type of gameplay etc.
I don't see anything here that the team is showing some revolunary thing, but they also don't claim that is what this is or something. I think all those mechanics are done on purpose to focus on those old school core ideas.

lol trust me, I don't think anyone hype for this game gives a shit. Nothing in this games selling point seem to reach to try to get sales based on what you are saying. It looks like its aim is simply for those old gameplay concept and not to take itself too seriously. If this was Red Dead Redemption 2 or a remake of Red Dead 1 or something I'd 100% agree with you btw, but it seems their focus isn't to sell to that type of gamer and more so a focus on the core gameplay stuff

lol Thats how I feel one should feel regarding a lot of this.
To feel this game looks awful or atrocious is to question the rest of those games too anyway.

I am more surprised that more and more people are just now catching on. It looked horrible from the start. The art direction is all over the place and the game design, animations and physics are really dated. None of the game looks cohesive. The story and writing seem poor as well.

These games have aged really badly and this looks like more of the same from the past 2 entries. Heck, it can even pass as DLC.
Animation, gameplay and graphics already look a generation old.

I had to google it, it is EGS exclusive. Yuck. I may wait until this thing is bargain bin price then, rather than going day on the PS5 like I was planning.

I don't know how to feel. On one hand, that gameplay (had to look it up since it's been removed) does look really janky (jankier than the old games which is depressing), and clearly the writing has been deflated by the fear of "punching down". On the other hand, classic Saints Row deep customization, and an empire building system where you can plop business fronts down in the world where you want and they become side actvities are cool features I don't see a lot of.
I'm tired of "liberate enemy camp" type open worlds, and I really need something different. Jank is ok to a degree, but gunplay has to feel good and this looks... floaty. So I'll take it, but maybe at a discount.

For some reason? The reason people like EDF is because it's brainless fun!

Saint Row 2 was the peak IMO.
After that they ramped up the goofy shit x10 fold and along with that came the x10 cringe factor. Whoever was responsible for that radical shift in tone deserves to be fired. It fucking tanked this IP.

depends on the class you play... playing as a fencer in EDF5 takes a bit of brainpower... playing Wing Diver less so xD

Looked like dogshit from the beginning. That some people are actually interested in paying full price for this shit is very fucking amusing to me. But it won't get a sequel because it's not going to sell meaningful numbers so at who cares.

The problem here is those kids finally grew up and are now the next generation of developers making shit like this. Dear Lord help us all.

(Amount is per millions sold)
The main thing potentially impacting this series was the whole situation with THQ tanking, and then THQ being absorbed by Deep Silver, Deep Silver doing business with Koch Media, and then Deep Silver then being absorbed by Embracer.
Look at Deep Silver's releases in the past 5-7 years, organize by 'new' and filter out remasters. Dead Island's sequel that's still nowhere to be found is more proof.
