Game should just go free to play

[Niteχ]

Everyone knows about this game and it's reputation and I don't see anyone paying to play this. $8 on sale is $8 too expensive. Make it free to play and bloat the game with cosmetic micro transactions if you want any hope of making a profit. I'd play this for free to see if it's really as bad as it looks.

"Regardless of how much anyone paid"

1: FYI : FREE is not a Form of Payment

2 : "I've very likely spent more time, and money on this franchise than you have out of diapers" You sure are funny individual & you have no clue as to who has spent money on Saints Row Merch,

I have bought all of the games since

Saints Row 2006
Saints Row 2 2008
Saints Row: The Third 2011
Saints Row IV 2013
Saints Row: Gat out of Hell 2015
Saints Row 2022

As they came out for the platforms

And i bought them again for Steam in order to have the Digital Version.

Not once were any of them Free. ( As in i bought all of mine )

And i have a Vast collection of Games from other platforms & i have bought systems all the way back to The Commodore 64, Atari , Sega, And the list goes on...

Ah great that clears that up. You're not ignorant, just crazy.

The general tone is SR3 / SR4, and if you enjoyed the side-activities in those games SR 2022 isn't a bad time as there is a LOT of stuff to do. I enjoyed the desert aesthetic too. But the dialogue / conversation is as cringe as you've heard.

Also the game crashes a lot. Seems to happen most often when I'm running missions from the Wanted app.

No crashes for me. I think I got enough time out of the game to throw a fiver at the publisher. All the DLC is currently available for $5 at EGS.

How much of that does the now-dispersed developers get from it is something I don't know.

So as one who got the base game for free, I think it's worth $5.

The dialog is something you'd get from a teen movie with more immature language than you'd get from an adult movie, but that's really par for M+ games.

The plot is something you'd get from a teen movie being really shallow. M+ games that lean into humor tend to be like that, but at least they're actually funny. This game tried to be both serious and funny and missed on both counts.

No its not. Your adult movies must be rated PG

It's crazy that people that make games and expect to get paid when they should just give their work away for free by the arbitrary whims of the OP. Seems like a very sustainable plan, and something an adult with responsibilities would suggest.

Nah, I get it. You're a cheapskate with bad ideas. It's cool, we can't all be smart. Someone has to dig holes.

Nah, I just don't feel like arguing with someone coming into a 2 month old thread that can't be bothered to read and is obviously coming at me in bad faith.

The game is bad and will never get better unless they do a re-reboot but that'd be pathetic at this point.

The studio that made this game, Volition, closed down in 2023 so any decisions made now don't affect the original devs. I'd expect any adult with knowledge of the industry to know how that works.

Now go crawl back under your bridge.

I've purchased it on sale and to my surprise the game is pretty fun. Not only I haven't uninstalled it in the first hour (like it happened to ~90% shooters) but played almost 60 hours and now am thinking to re-install it

It could become a major MMO if it had peer-to-peer 16 people maps like GTAOnline. And less whiny player base, of course.

Have you kept up with recent events in life ? What i'm trying to say is DO YOU EVEN KNOW that Volition is Closed & that there is no way for anything to happen, when it comes to improving the game?

I Loved the game when it first came out on Steam & bought the Game ( at Full Price ) & all the DLC's for the game. Few day's later The Company that owned or owns the IP for Volition, closed it down due to greed ( imo ), & also cause the IP owner lost a deal with another company.

Why would this game ever go f2p? That's ridiculous.

The game is bad so it should be free? it's so bad you would play it because it was free? I'm laughing at how ridiculous you are. Anyone with any degree of knowledge of the industry would facepalm at your silly argument.

Yep just keep maintaining that current status quo. Don't try new things when the video game industry is going so well right now. Just do a Saints Row 2 reboot in the same exact style and shut down another studio, waste another dev teams time. Enjoy my clown to add to your other 150 you've accumulated over the 18 YEARS you've had a Steam account old man.

It's rather a Tard move to ask for the game to be F2P so that YOU can play it, if you don't even like the game then MOVE the F on instead of Begging for the game to be free, if you want to play it then pay for it, otherwise move on & stop being a T with your Posts that clearly makes anyone that posts such posts as a cheap mo**.
