Soys Row 2022

How truly pathetic this game is. It shows what a bunch of souless, lazy, worthless diversity hires worked on this pos.

I might actually play the game if it had a laugh track. This one is better/worse than the other one I just posted.

Team Building!

Soys Row is a failure.

It's all so on the nose it makes me wonder if this was manufactured. You make this pos game on the cheap, generate mass hatred. Then release the one they've been working on which is obnoxious and they set themselves up to be heroes. Or something.

Yes I'm cynical but fuck gaming either way.

Naw the playbook is to label the fans as racists etc... because they refuse to accept the destruction of the things they love.

It's so weird, this team woke or team cancelled, fucking clown society needs to burn.

So a game that is also a parody of the soy culture. Interesting.

It's basically Saints Row 3's Saints Row 3.

I don't know if it is just steam. But I see that all of Volitions games are suddenly on a deep sale.

Volition made Summoner? That game wasn’t too bad. I’d almost ask for a revisit to that IP.

I've pirated it and only managed to play it for 1.5 hour. Immediately deleted from my system. What happened to the shooting and driving mechanics of The Third? The game feels like Saints Row 2 wih missing animations, cardboard cars and whatnot. The UX is terrible and full of glitches when customizing your character. Gameplay feels like 2008 again. Also doesn't help the fact main characters are happy to rob 7/11 store so they can go for Karaoke or eat homemade cakes.

I may buy it once the price tag matches $3. Volition just got cyberpunked.

Could be the case. Sometimes reviewers dunk on obvious trashfires to get some street cred, but this one is too much of a failure so I'm not sure.

gen Xers moved on and were replaced with millennials and millennials can't do anything right

The joke would land better if anyone was having fun with the game.

Are all game designers and companies nowadays supposed to be smug douchebags who hate their fanbase and alienate potential customers with their rhetoric?

Yes, Biden added it as a law.

I don't see it anymore but that doesn't mean much, when you release a new game it's better to put your older ones on sale so people who came to check it out will walk out with something, even if they don't buy the new one.

Here is one of the few reviews that found the game to be stellar. Its by a black dude (going by the voice at least) who received the game for free. Says its one of the most fun games and isnt woke.

I was curious to hear from someone who liked this game and the first thing he talked about was how he had a tough love childhood which is one weird ass flex. Who gives a shit. Being terminally online on social media will brainwash you no matter who you are and the discipline to not be a dumbass is on you, not your parents, but I digress.

Regardless, I find it strange he’s praising the story and also not calling it woke. They removed places like Freckle Bitch’s and Rim Jobs just to name a few. Volition claims this was done out of market research and fans didn’t want so many sex jokes which is really fucking weird because Saints Row 3 and 4 were even praised for taking an open stance on sex jokes. So they actively took out things even progressives liked.

The characters might not be sitting around talking about gender, sexuality and race explicitly but that wouldn’t make this garbage any more woke. It’s a product from self-congratulatory out-of-touch leadership who think they’re making a difference in the world by making a game where whiny people can feel “seen.” And now they look like totally unpleasant hypocritical psychopaths. Look, they like cats, they have trouble paying student loans, they jab at capitalism. Isn’t it funny how this guy likes waffles? So random, right? What if the Saints were a start up? Turns out, it’s not fucking interesting to anyone. Certainly not to the devs who were shoved into their cubicles or open office probably spending half their time reluctantly agreeing to whatever design said and the other half polishing up their resumes to find a less sinking ship of a studio to work at. They didn’t write a story or characters, they made something that could be chopped up into gifs on Twitter.

I finished it.
It took me a while to get around to it because, well the game's shit.
I'd call it a transcendental experience. I really felt in touch with the ancient martyrs.

I wholeheartedly reccomend that everyone watch a walkthough of the last two missions.



You're on the codex, you can spare the time. At least so you stop parroting ideas from when the trailer first showed up and realize the true terror of what volition has created.
Like the post above mine, he just doesn't know. He doesn't know.

I am having fun laughing at the game.
