The malcontent for the new Saints Row game has continued to grow as developer Volition has released another new trailer that has generated yet more negative reception, and as most Western companies and studios are most inclined to do in the current era, Volition decided to fire back at those daring to criticize them.
Upon the release of the initial trailer at Gamescom, reactions were mixed, and many ardent fans of the series expressed their disappointment with the reboot, citing bland hipster characters that reminded them of Fortnite, and gameplay that seemed similar to Watch_Dogs.
The new “SAINTS ROW Welcome to Santo Ileso Trailer”, which has the developers sharing their thoughts and opinions, received similar bad reception and more chiding comments:
The like to dislike ratios reflect this contempt for the reboot:
As a contrast, the trailer for Saints Row 3 has a far better ratio:
Numerous fans of the series flocked to the Saints Row 3 trailer to express further hatred for the reboot and praised Saints Row 3:
Volition has taken notice of the backlash against their new game, and responded in typical fashion, calling their fans “haters”, while hoping they still stick around to see more of the game those fans have likely already written off. Volition resolutely stated they “won’t back down on this game”:
Not only is Volition hyping up characters that their would-be customers have called hipsters, two sources have confirmed that the studio is also taking the series in a new direction for current year, while writing off their older, incredibly popular games, as products of their time:
“We love [the old Saints Row games], but we also recognize those are games of a time. They made sense within that era, and we were able to do things that felt good back then. But that tone is not something that we feel like we want to do today. We had a different kind of story that we wanted to tell.”
To further the notion that this game is made with “current year” in mind, the Saints will have four total members in the gang who, after working for other gangs, set out to make their own start-up gang to ‘disrupt’ the criminal scene.
Perhaps to ease some worries, apparently the player character can be fully customized, “big or small, young or old, and anywhere in between”, so even if the rest of the gang looks like they need to be home in time for dinner, the player character can at least look like an actual criminal.
Ah yes, the standard ‘if fans disagree with us they are toxic hate speech spouting losers’. Next we will have the usual new site praising the game and further spite to gamers and then we will go to the ratings war. Western entertainment industry feels like it runs on the same shitty script.
Well, technically they are running off of the same script. If you’re not in the woke cult, you’re labeled as an alt-right, homophobic, islamaphobic, sexist, nazi.
Usually because it’s true.
It’s exceedingly rare that someone isn’t using some derogatory slang, slur or ad hominem from the “alt-right/far right/neo-Nazis”
Yes, yes, a piggy.
All those who are against the degenerate anti-human “woke agenda” aggressively promoted by a conglomerate of bastard western “woke” corporations and the media are “alt-right/far right/neo-Nazis”.
Everyone who is against the crazy religion “gender theory” and the LGBTQWERTY religious sect that believes in it is “homophobic”.
We all have long understood the script from your manuals, shekel bot.
Speaking of scripts
Your alts are showing, sheep.
Their community manager retired back in May to focus on trying to fix the Saints Row 2 port (he died of face cancer before the trailer for this was posted). Whoever is posting this s♥♥t on social media is has 4.5 months of experience at the most and no real connection to the fandom.
Kinda like you tbh
“This game is so diverse I can’t wait to play it!” -IGN 10/10
“Despite the lack of african american transexuals this was almost as much fun as watching my wife get gang banged!” -Kotaku 4/5
nah people will still buy this s♥♥t
It’s funnier when you realise that them not backing down was exactly the kind of s♥♥t Sancom wanted to see from game companies
But only when it’s about having the s♥♥t THEY want to see
You see where I’m going here? Peak hypocrisy – these people mad that they’re not backing down because they think it’s bad, but they’ll cry freedom if a company decides not to, as they say,”go woke” and shriek death to minorities meanwhile.
You know it’s easy to tell that you’re samefagging like a true rainbow-hair when you keep using the same phrases every post, right?
And so many emojis.
You know how easy it is to tell you’re on a bunch of alts samefagging and downvoting everyone?
Very, because one of your alts posts every time a surge of votes go on, and you project your insecurities on everyone.
I think it is fine for a company to not back down, even if their idea is garbage and it will flop and none of the old fans will buy their product. What I don’t think is fine is companies trying to shift their own blame, when their product being utter s♥♥t or hugely failing to land on the audience they advertised to when in reality it was meant for a completely different target audience with the excuse of “subversing our expectations” as if it was pure “hate”.
If your product is garbage, just take the criticism and the bankrupcy and move on, maybe make something people will buy next time.
You’re a hypocritical and lying bastard.
However, this is typical for a bot.
All modern companies and corporations have long been “woke” and you also understand this.
All those who do not support the degenerate anti-human ideology of your masters are purposefully destroyed and “canceled”.
Anyone who openly disagrees with this is quickly silenced by hanging on them a set of standard labels used by your degenerate SJW propaganda.
What kind of “freedom of speech” can you even talk about in such a reality, bot?
>shriek death to minorities meanwhile.
Where have you seen such a thing, you hypocritical lying bastard?
How much do they pay you, bot?
Mfw Z01DX hiding from downvotes because people got tired of his shilling s♥♥t LOL
Back to your pen, sheep. @06:13 @10:15
@06:23
You’re such a funny piggy.
I won’t even ask where you saw “no u” in my post. Because you didn’t answer my previous questions, “where did you see the shriek death to minorities?” and “how many shekels do they pay you, piggy?”.
I understand that you are a bot and your training manual says never to answer questions. Your goal is not an adequate discussion, your goal is trolling and shitposting in the comments.
However, I note that to confirm my words that all corporations have long been “woke”, it is enough to look at the “List of Traitors to America” and see how all the largest companies and corporations actively expressed support for gangs of murderers, robbers and other bastards from the american terrorist organization BLM.
Oinks more, piggy.
Keep gaslighting, denying and “no u”ing while you can, bitch.
Watching you cut yourself.
Except they totally will back down to pander to sjws and other degenerate trash who won’t even buy their games to begin with, but when it comes to pandering to sjw trash, they won’t back down. This is the real hypocrisy, not the bullshit you’re spewing.
You all ain’t noticed you’re doing the same stupid s♥♥t yourself? Sankaku posts incel hate bait—>you got bated.
So if they want to tell a new story, then just say that this isn’t a SR reboot.
From what I can tell is that they themselves are not confident with the story they want to tell so they decided to use SR as a way to get an already established fanbase. It is fine if they use that tactic on a business perspective. But they’re doing it while shitting on the people they’re trying to sell to.
Western devs are composed for trannies, gays an faggots. They dont know how create a game or work. They just know how go to twhitt and cancel the others. They are parasite like media that try shape reality.
QFT
The real parasites are Sancom, seeing 90% of their s♥♥t is stolen, pirated or crying about wanting everyone dead. All while living in a basement off their parents.
Where did you see something like this, bot?
Show me this.
Give me concrete examples.
Or maybe you should shove your pathetic fantasies about us into your fat “woke” LGBTQWERTY ass?
I’m looking right at him LMAO
Cope harder, sheep.
You must have a lead a very enriching life if you get your kicks trolling a backwater site like this.
Pot, meet kettle.
The biggest issue with this marketing tactic is that it’ll only work once. They’ll draw in the SR crowd once. Then when they see how much of a disappointment the game is, they’ll never come back.
If only it works that way. There are die hard fans who would still buy s♥♥t as long as it has the label of what they are supporting. Look at Apple overpriced, not even as good as it used to. And people still buy it because APPLE.
just like the nintendo switch it does not have the most popular games but people still play them anyway.
Just because games aren’t popular doesn’t mean they aren’t fun.
s♥♥t like apple and nintendo are more like cults
Since the modern soya numale is a godless heathen it is understandable that it would take things like politics or brands as their religion instead
“We love [the old Saints Row games],…”
Bullshit.
“…but we also recognize those are games of a time. ”
Which is exactly why SR shouldnt be whatever this new “game” is trying to be.
“But that tone is not something that we feel like we want to do today.”
What tone exactly? The one from SR2, SR3 or SR4? Those are the tones that actually made SR in the first place. This new s♥♥t has none of that.
“We had a different kind of story that we wanted to tell.”
New IP, how about that? SR then wouldnt need to add a retarded cousin into the family. Not even as a Reboot. BTW, just by looking at that “boss” character, i smell “but muh fewings” s♥♥t all over the place. A black wahman…………..well of course she would not only be a wahman but also black. Surprised she doesnt have pink hair and s♥♥t (you probably will be able to costumize “her” but talking about base model).
“Its this weird combination that i dont see in any games out there of humor, over-the-top and badass”
HAHAHAHAHA. Your fat ass needs to play some more games.
*woman
Sorry, typo.
Maybe you bitches are the ones who are out of touch? Because you’re 50 year old wizards.
Nobody’s ever made a reboot that shits all over the original franchise before? Interesting claim, Volition.
DmC Devil May Cry. Yup, that certainly wasn’t made to spite the fans. Not in any way, shape or form.
Capcom sure learned their lesson from that ordeal, DmC was developed by a western british studio (who is now part of Xbox) while DMC5 was developed back in Capcom in-house with the longtime director Hideaki, suffice to say that the reception and sales says everything needs to be said about the whole ordeal.
Exactly, but I believe that if DmC was released today it would be praised by journos and twitter because “get owned gamers” kinda mentality, bonus points if they said Vergil is nonbinary and that dumb spray lady is actually lesbian. It would be as popular as TLOU 2… well popular to all the twitter trannies and cucked game journos.
yep and i hope they enjoy those lower sales to cause f♥♥k this game
everything that made saints row good is now all gone
