PSA: Don't buy it, the port is horrible

[Zaxx]

Yes I know it's not even 3 bucks now that it's on sale but trust me, you can spend that 3 bucks better on something else. In some countries that's the price of a meal, Deep Silver doesn't deserve that as long as the SR2 port isn't fixed.

Yes it runs like ♥♥♥♥ on console too i have XSX and like 5 fps on the first boat chase after the prison break.

Try Xenia, solid 30 fps there, the boat chase drop is some bug with the emulation on XSX.

DXVK pretty much fixed all of my fps issues

I'd argue that you're not telling the truth but since we're on the internet I will just say that DXVK did not fix the port's hordes of issue (that include but are not limited to performance) for me.

DXVK can help a lot of games, GTA 4 and Dead Space comes to mind as examples where there are clear benefits to using it but it's not a magic fix.

i literally said that payday 3 is more likely to happen before they even release the SR2 patch & behold they just announced payday 3 i know that doesn't realy have anything to do with saints row but i say Saints row and this patch is truly dead. it just vanished into the darkness of night never to be heard from again. $10 says GTA 6 and crime boss 2 will happen way before another saint row instalment or patch for SR2

GTA 6 is set for 2024 so that will definitely drop before the next SR. If you ask me there won't be another SR for a long-long time, the new game "Duke Nukem Forevered" the franchise and there is no easy way back from there.

As for the PC patch that's anyone's guess, honestly Volition is in a bad place now because even though the new game flopped they did start taking pre-orders for the season pass. So there is an obligation to deliver that DLC content for a dead game while the only part of the community that's worth a damn as a consumer base is waiting for the SR2 patch. Deep Silver really is a terrible publisher.

yeah true or... under new management with new rights and new oversight they remaster saints row trilogy unlikely but can hope they do

i was just pointing out how sad it is that we are more likely to have a lot of other titles for the fps, crime genre than saints row ever recovering from the death of there franchise this year and the season pass pre order thing well i am sure people can get refunds as i don't remember what game it was but i do remember it was a PlayStation game from memory where it did so bad at launch and tanked the company that those that brought the season pass lol never got anything for it but a cancelled project & refunded & what the studio did so far with that content i think eventually got re released as a multiplayer map instead because they never finished it

Doesn't seem that unlikely now after the reboot tbh. If Gearbox hires a good developer to do them and they don't turn out bad like certain other remasters (SR3 and SR4 Re-Elected lol) then it's easy money.

Honestly except for the reboot, Gat out of Hell and the horrible Agents of Mayhem SR had a pretty good run so if it dies, it dies. The reboot kind of proved that there was not much else to do with the concept that hadn't been done before.

There are some bigger gaming tragedies out there, for example I consider Radical Entertainment's slow death under Activision a giant loss for the "sandbox crime" genre. As the developers of The Simpsons: Hit & Run and Scarface: The World is Yours that studio actually implemented some really interesting designs and created much better games than half the SR franchise. The cancellation of Scarface 2 might have robbed us of a true classic and a game that could have offered a real alternative to GTA's game design.

On the other hand there are some things to look forward to: with the Mafia remake Hangar 13 finally got what that franchise is about so Mafia 4 could be a worthy successor to the first two games.

that's true but i feel crime boss showed what saints row reboot could have been if done right even if they thought saints row as a franchise has run it's course i suspect GTA to be the same one day that it will get to a point where they go well the gameplay is the same as the last there's nothing new it's run it's course and then it'll be another dead genre like party games or point & click adventures in recent years

Crime Boss? This one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX6CoWxwt5k
This seems to be a mission based co-op FPS / heist game similar to Payday and it's not open world. And this gameplay is really bad, genius bank robbers here don't wear masks, shoot half the city's population and the mechanics and animations make it look like a very cheap budget game (but to be fair it's not a 60 dollar title afaik). Seems like just another idiotic modern game to me but hey, maybe I'm wrong.

Edit: Aaaand it's Epic exclusive on PC too so lol, that's not great for a multiplayer game. Another one for the pile then.

yeah that one well the gameplay etc i think had potential even if most say what it lacks in gameplay is made up in visuals & story/cameos

better than what new saints row looked like i.m.o given the gameplay for that makes it look too fortnighty

and payday 2 is a best seller title and payday 3 is coming so perhaps saints row needed that a bit

Yep, on that we agree but that doesn't feel high praise to me. I produce something that looks better than the SR reboot every morning! :D
