I got it expecting to hate it, but as I kept playing, I found myself legitimately enjoying it. Not begrudgingly enjoying it, not enjoying it outside of one or two small details, but actually being engaged in the story and gameplay. Which leads me to wondering why people had a problem with this game in the first place again?
I haven’t played the new one, but I’m also a heretic who enjoyed Agents of Mayhem quite a lot. I’ve almost 100%'d it.
I also played SR:4 and Gat Outta Hell. Loved 4, never quite finished Gat Outta Hell.
My main gripe with the new Saints Row? It was a FortniteLauncher™ exclusive. I won’t buy it until it’s on a deep deep sale on Steam. I chose Linux, and they support my choice. Exclusives aren’t good for an open market, and I hate what Epic has done so brazenly to young audiences with predatory monetization, intentionally addictive systems, and dark patterns.
Fortnite is basically “FOMO: The Game”
Agents Of Mayham is a great game, sadly I think what killed it was its horrible optimization
