So apparently this game was supposed to feature the original Saints from the previous games and even have a mission where you would kill Dex but it got scrapped because Deep Silver was dissatisfied with it. This is so disappointing.

The meltdowns happened because of how cringe and disjointed the story was and because it was broken and unplayable at release.
Just wait until the inevitable moment when the game crashes in the middle of a tedious mission or side venture and makes you lose an hour of progress.

Generalrusty, I don't get what your comment was trying to convey. People didn't have a meltdown about the game just because the iconic characters never returned, but rather that this looks, feels and plays like an inferior replica of past Saints Row games. As Silnev mentioned the game was pretty bad, even those on Metacritic say so.

The major issues of the game were nearly everything else about the game. The game was busted at launch, and as mcthieve said before, still has poor optimization regardless of console or PC. And because the devs are totally dead (actually, they've rebranded as Shapeshifter Games iirc), this will never be fixed. Gunplay, gameplay, side missions and the general vibe of the game is so broken at design level. The sorry excuse of a Yelp knockoff activity and inferior versions of what used to be fun activites also don't help its case, nor should its overzealous Hobbs & Shaw physics and the hackneyed writing of its poorly-made character replacements. Should I remind you about the ridiculous PR publicity stunt on what used to be Twitter?

Saints Row '22 was just trapped from games past, rather than needing to evolve. This is why it suffered as it is, and it will never be fixed anymore.

I don't know why the comment WolfLover94 posted was deleted, because it did make sense. Anyway, my closing thoughts and extra critique about the game, and the legacy it left behind.

Last month, news broke out about the developer, Volition closing down for good. Fans were heartbroken, especially those of who played this game franchise, Saints Row.

I totally feel your pain about the loss of Volition. It's sad. Really sad, considering this game was not only a complete disaster but also a lousy product. This entry is a long line of recent games that have been butchered by incompetence, streamlined by modern gaming's most horrible sins, watered down by turning once-great modes and activities of play into a cesspool of glitches, bugs, and crippling issues left and right, and made to cater to a burgeoning Gen-Z era of no-name trends and unwanted changes that should have been moribund a long time ago.

I did a brutal and tenacious critique of this reboot in February, using some great points that Angry Joe did when he was forced to review the game. And it still stands to this day. And now... now that the developer is dearly departed, I feel now that it is time to give in to an additional critique about this game and its legacy.

When I was younger, Saints Row 2, released in 2008 - 15 years ago - was all the rage. Literally. It was the popular sequel to the original entry, Saints Row, released exclusively to the Xbox 360 in August 2006 (It's even backwards compatible on Xbox One and Series, although the windows are glitched due to emulation). Before GTA IV, players who were patiently waiting for Rockstar's top dog at the time had to either settle for GTA San Andreas, or own several more GTA-style open world games of the day (Think of games like True Crime: New York City, Driver Parallel Lines, and Just Cause to name a few). Saints Row was the perfect stopgap during that time because it had some groundbreaking features most other games lacked or were relegated to other games, such as an inventory system for food, drink or even beer (which you can't do in GTA San Andreas because it was cut). What also made SR so special was its plethora of activities, such as drug trafficking, chop shops, hitman, insurance fraud, mayhem, and even committing store robberies at night. All of this made the original game a jack-of-all-trades saga, and with a game with good graphics of its time, along with strong dialogue and writing, plus an A-list cast of the era, it was an instant classic. It's worth checking out the original Saints Row and the sequel. Both of these games still hold up today, and worth playing more than the reboot. Saints Row The Third was a very disappointing entry, with a notably large drop of cars and slipping quality of writing, which bolstered in crass sex jokes which were admittedly hilarious at the time, but as time passed on it stopped being funny. Add the inclusion of a paramilitary group that terrorized the city of Steelport to eradicate all gangs - and even waged a monstruous, full-scale war in the city against the remants of The Syndicate's Luchadores and the Saints - that even rival those of urban warfare felt too ridiculous even for an avid Saints Row fan. Saints Row IV was slightly better given its superpowers and Matrix vibe, but by then the old era has fallen out of touch. Nearly a decade later we had some hope that Saints Row would be revived again as a reboot. But the final product of that game was nothing at all what it set out to be.

This being an ultimate critique would be an understatement, because there is literally everything wrong with this reboot. It all starts from the publisher and the German-Austrian parent company, Koch Media (they are now known as Plaion). When the main publisher, THQ, folded permanently in 2013, many of its franchises that were in the publisher umbrella were bought out by various publishers. Volition went to Deep Silver. Others were taken up by THQ Nordic, and by Embracer Group AB, who owned the majority of Koch Media. So, when the reboot was revealed, many fans were skeptical given how it would turn out. Would it end up as a Fortnite-style game? Or would it become a realistic, back-to-basics game similar to the old games? Gamescom 2021 came with the announcement of Saints Row, and fans were livid. Devotists (aka Mental Asylum escapees) who were concerned about the game's direction took to the waves and forums, and on what was then known as Twitter at the time, and voiced criticism about the game's watered down art style and presentation, and questioned why they'd call it Saints Row when half of the game isn't even close to the old games. This is the part where I'm going to tell you that Volition's responses were some of the most deplorable things I've seen regarding criticism. They were the developer's equivalent of simping, chucking out condescending remarks such as "You just don't know you want it yet", "You played it then?", with a upside down smiley emoji, "We don't think you know what Fortnite looks but you do you", and some GIFs. This behavior is worse than even the Madden, Forza or even the NASCAR simps because this is a developer we're talking about, not some random keyboard warrior (who is paid nothing) banging out misguided logic and lies. But in spite of this, many fans/devotists still wanted to give the reboot a chance and even Volition had extra time, pushing the game back from February 2022 to August 2022, to optimize the game to make it "fucking awesome". During development, the dev leads made some extremely misguided statements about what happened in the old era, and they basically stated that the original era, with Johnny Gat and co., never happened. "We totally made it up", that was a blatantly hyperbolic statement.

Needless to say it was not awesome. It certainly wasn't awesome that a game selling for 70 dollars is absolultely infested with bugs and glitches left and right, and had almost none of the personality that the old Saints Row games had set forth in 2006, let alone 2022. It is not awesome to have gameplay that is so watered down with so many design decisions that scream Fortnite than any major open-world game. And, it is certainly not awesome to have the game come with exclusive content that you need to pay more, which makes it feel like you were ripped off. There's a major problem with nearly every aspect of the game. I detailed them very much so, with the shoddy gameplay, horribly-written script, Aritifical Incompetence, vehicle physics that ignore all kinds of laws of physics, and general boredom.

Shooting any weapon in the game feels like you're shooting BBs. The gunplay is so damn floaty that it's hard to get a bead on who you're aiming to and these enemies take more bullets than Tony Montana before they go down, meaning you'd have to rely on headshots. Many of the game's small smattering of weapons are infuriatingly powerless, with little to no impact and hit feedback, and many of them cannot be customized outside of paintjobs. What's the point if the paltry upgrades make it less of a poor gun?

The driving physics are the absolute worst in any open-world action game to date. The physics seem to be a cut-and-paste job of Fast & Furious Crossroads. Smashing into other cars is more akin to a lag switch in a racing game and completely ignore all laws of physics, making it a laughable spectacle, especially if there is a row of parked cars on the street. Collisions are incredibly inconsistent, a victim of taking blase stuff off movies and shoehorning them into a game. T-bone any car and watch as the car blows up. You can even destroy massive vehicles such as the Peterliner or Cheetah with a single side collision. I'm not making this up at all.

The writing is so bad I would even praise Ubisoft's terrible dialuoge over this any day of the week. Cringey lines such as "GG", among other things make it worse. I have never seen such bad writing since Forza Horizon 5's stories. The biggest monument of failure in writing is in the mission "Going Overboard", where Kevin says this line:

"This is gonna be an epic statement. That yacht's guarded A.F."

...which then ends up being a back-and-forth banter about the abbreviation. This has the personality of a cardboard box and will leave you begging for it to end.

For the soundtrack, which is the only redeeming factor, it's quite good. My favorite station is the Cypher station because it has some awesome classic hip hop beats, such as "Party Up" by the late DMX, Delinquent Habits' banger from '96, "Tres Delinquentes", and Pharcyde's "Runnin'", off their second album, Labcabincalifornia, in 1995. Every other song was mediocre at best. But what pulled this down is the fact that while many of these songs are licensed, and in this era, streamers have to keep cash rolling, hence the safe streaming option. Volition chose to go the cheap route and not bother to include songs that didn't require royalties. In general, royalty-free songs bring something new to replace copyright-sensitive songs like "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" or "Slam" - both from A Tribe Called Quest and Onyx, respectively. In Saints Row 2022, the copyright-free option shuts off ALL sound. No replaced music, just silence. Was Volition lazy? Yes.

Quite frankly it was tough to see a beloved franchise die on the vine like this. And especially one saddled by a talented team from the heart of Illinois who were caught in the line of fire by Embracer's restructuring.

Pour one out for this developer, and keep reliving the memories of Saints Row '06 and Saints Row 2.

Volition is gone. Thanks to Embracer Group's major restructuring plan, the 30-year-old developer from Champaign, IL has become a victim of its own failure. This source comes via X/Twitter reporting that many of its employees were let go and the company would be no more.

Here is what their farewell message says, word for word. You can read about it on the game dev's page:

"The Volition team has proudly created world-class entertainment for fans around the globe for 30 years. We've been driven by a passion for our community and always worked to deliver joy, surprise, and delight.

"This past June, Embracer Group announced a restructuring program to strengthen Embracer and maintain its position as a leader in the video game industry. As part of that program, they evaluated strategic and operational goals and made the difficult decision to close Volition effective immediately.

"To help our team, we are working to provide job assistance and help smooth the transition for our Volition family members. We thank our customers and fans around the world for all the love and support over the years. You will always be in our hearts."

- Volition Games

The cause of this is due to Swedish holdings group Embracer Group's disasterous $2 billion deal with Savvy Games Group (as Silnev mentioned before). The Saudi organization had withdrawn the sale in May, and Volition - who started off as Parallax Software - became one of the first casualties.

Christ. This beloved series is now dead on arrival, and I've said this before that this shit happened because of this broken reboot. I have the evidence. And now, the open-world action game is now bereft of another venerable franchise.

What are your thoughts now that Volition is buried and dead?
