So Kenobi gifted him the game.

I don't understand? It says the game was released on August 24, 2023. And there's only 171 reviews. Have they re-released it in order to get rid of old negative reviews? Did previous owners get to keep it?

e: Was it only released on Epic Store previously?

It was an Epic exclusive for a year and now it's finally on Steam.

Finally!

They also finished the legally required DLCs so they can finally kill it for good.
Even I can't stomach MORE larp shit (last DLC's theme) so I'll just assume they haven't fixed the aggressive lack of cleavage on female underwear.

Soys Row is a failure.

I called it back in 9/2022. I just love it when I'm right.

The game was so bad it killed a 30 year old company.

 

[DeepOcean]

Well, they done it out of their own Volition.

Im surprised the were still around after that Agents of Something cringy game to even make this heap of trash. Felt like a suicide move.

Proof that dem ESG bucks aren't always worth it.

Saints Row is being given out for free on ps+ right now, but I refuse to taint my game library with its presence. That's how fucken trash this game is, you can't even give it away.

PlayStation Plus users download controversial game just to get free store credit​

One user said “I only installed it as it's the smallest sized game to launch among the 3 in order to get the 50 points PS Stars reward.” If you didn’t know PS Stars essentially act as store credit when redeemed, and while they’re offered for various things, downloading and playing certain games is an easy way to rack up points, even if you just play for a minute.

This thing is today's EGS freebie if you're morbidly curious.

Welcome to Santo Ileso, a vibrant fictional city in the American Southwest [...] rife with crime, where lawless factions fight for power

People actually think this way.

I guess the new meaning of "vibrant" is "avoid this shithole."

Today it's free on Epic Games Store.

Thanks, but just read a couple posts above yours.

Its vibrant because of the muzzle flashes and bombs.
Really lights the night sky up. Like 4th of July 24/7.

Well I was morbidly curious and I lasted 30 minutes. For some reason the audio mixing is insanely bad. The tutorial starts with you attacking some gang hideout and there is barely any sound. Only my character and another npc sound normal everything is just muted. Gunfire, explosions, jet engines etc. are almost muted.

It’s funny the new game seems to have more problems than the old stuff. I doubt any of the 360 era games cost anything close to what this was reported to have cost. The even lost details the original games had.

They would’ve been better off just building this game on the back of the first two games.

---

I wonder who makes the next Saints Row game? I doubt the series dies with the studio. Black Forest Games GmbH, who’ve been doing the Destroy All Humans! games for THQ Nordic seems like the obvious choice. But Volition got shipped off to Gearbox before being shut down, so maybe they do it. The Space Marine 2 could probably do it too.

 

[Fedora Master]

Imagine if they had used the money to recreate SR2 instead

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

Well, it would’ve still been shit. It would’ve just been a shit remake of the second game.

I just like taking the freebies to cost Epic money in licensing fees. I don't think I've ever actually played any of them.

The box art for this game is awful
