Saints Row

When it comes to "Saints from the third street" you are not expecting a GTA clone at all. You are waiting for a new heart-breaking story, a story without a frame. Such were the previous parts. They not only ridiculed all the stereotypes of people, but based on new trends, films, other games, the charisma of heroes and antagonists, the fearlessness of the script - they created an incredible cocktail. A cocktail where each of the flavors was brought to maximum sharp tones, but the harmony created an incredible taste. There is no new part of it. She is boring, uninteresting. This is when anticipation turned into disappointment. You can play (although there are a lot of bugs), but this is not a continuation of the series ((( 3/10.

I got really bored playing this after just a few sessions. I had no interest in playing the main missions they just didn't appeal to me. Wasn't likeing the story arc, if you can call it that, it's not really feeling like a story anyways that's really going anywhere and the only character that's got much of a personality just plane sucks as a character and don't have any desire to see anymore dialog from her. At first I would say I enjoyed about the first couple hours of gameplay, but mostly playing with the character creation which isn't all that enjoyable to navagate, it's really confusing at times switching between menus and the menus go 3 maybe for levels deep sometimes. They could have got rid of the color swatches and just had the color wheel instead, a lot faster as I'm constantly adding colors just to get a better tone of the colors in the swatch. It's still a good character customization but I'm not going to play a game just for that, and they put a lot of effort into it so much so they have a separate app just for this part of the game. Overall what it comes down to and this is what made me think it deserves such a low score is that so many of the missions after just one go, I didn't want to do them again and you look at the map it's the same stuff on every single section of the entire map, some new ones pop up but once I've played them in one region, there is no reason to do the same thing somewhere else. Another thing that absolutely sucks is the vehicle control, it feels so awkward from the camera controls to just handling, you hardly feel like you're in control and when you steer you oversteer very easily and it's just a pain to drive around the map and take corners accurately, it's not fun to navigate and go places in this game. I've got maybe 10% completion and I'm feeling like I'm done, I don't want to play anymore.

One of the fastest modes of transport I found that was easy to drive was a jetski, but there is so little in the environment I felt very alone in this game, very little to do in such a large space. I was looking around and thinking, where are all the boats docked. I couldn't even find one yet there were sailboats on the water and a random encounter with another jetski. And when you hit the map boarder there is this annoying 10 second timer telling you to turn around, talk about an immersion breaking game feature. This just made me feel that this game obviously was incomplete when released and it will never be finished or realized to a degree that this could have been. I just had the feeling that whoever made this game, didn't play it. So why should I.

Putting so much work into non-critical gameplay is such a waste, and clearly it was meant to sell skins and cosmetics as this is advertised on the splash screen. Well you got to have a good playable game for people to care about stuff like that and this isn't all that playable at least not for any length of time.

I could go on and on about what I don't like but it's just not worth the time.

It's an origin story, that's great.

It's an open world, that's great.

It's repetitive, bland, humorless, quirk-less, powerless and a chore to work through the same tired side missions which end up being stripped down versions of previous versions of the same style activities.

I was so excited for a new Saints Row, by looking at the box art and watching the trailers it's a fast paced quirky game with the charm and humor of Saints Row 2, 3 and GooH, it's not that.

Combat is slow but twitchy getting stun locked or completely overrunning enemies after upgrading any weapons, the activities are just scavenger hunts with look through the area and click on the buttons or try to figure out what's a target and what's scenery.

Bad, in all things gameplay, story and character development.

This game is terrible. It has the worst characters. I didn't like them. The game has many problems. I was bored throughout the experience. This may be the end of the franchise. I don't want to see these Saints again. The old saints from the other games would destroy these weak new saints. The people who made this game didn't care. They made something awful. There were moments during my playthrough when I was thinking "what is this garbage?" We want things to be entertaining and fun. We don't want this trash. It's time to wake up and learn. It's frustrating that there are games full of bugs these days. Finish the games when making them. We don't want something half finished.

I never liked the saints row character or story. I dont do so this time. And i dont care. The cringe fun dialogue, arcade gameplay, blowing stuff up... It works as a letting steam off game. Graphics are okayish, nothing state of the art, not too bad eighter. World is not extremly big but enough room for making insane stuff happening. The synchro is nice, the voice i chose sounds great.

I reall enjoy playing it. I dont see too much wokeness. You cant choose a gender, still was able to create a male and female, so what. I did not encounter major bugs till now. Its proper funny crazyness. Probably wont think about it anymore in a year but for now, its great.
