I mean, I could see this coming.
Saints Row reboot at least had an interesting setting and played okay. But it was let down by awful writing and a lack of scope.
It didnt have all the features of even Saints Row 2. The plot seemed to pander to millennials in a very "how do you do fellow kids" kinda way. Some of the gameplay was repetitive and boring and it had a few bugs.
With a different writing team and another year in development, it could have been a huge success, but they didnt so it wasn't. RIP Volition.
That's it! I couldn't figure out why, a SR fan, had zero interest in their latest release.
It's because that trailer was oozing with "fellow kids" energy.
