Twinblade★ 4,074 Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 Volition spent around 5 years developing this, and their last game, Agents of Mayhem, was a colossal flop. This might actually be the End of the studio Link to post Share on other sites

This might actually be the End of the studio Given the major absence of GTAVI and any real major release until GoW, I think this could do well commercially with the casual market. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TLHBO 2,212 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I think Saucer summed it up when he said it was tik tok zoomers trying to pay off their college debt. Fucking hard pass Saints Row 2 was the best but they nevwr recaptured that magic. Link to post Share on other sites

Crackdown was flawed but it was a breath of fresh air. Then they tried to make the same game 2 gens later and there was no way it was going to impress again. Link to post Share on other sites

Mass Effect is better than Andromeda. Dead Rising is better than Dead Rising 4. (Haven't played the rest so I wouldn't know). It's not as if they made fantastic sequels that burned solely because said games played it safe. Link to post Share on other sites

That’s always going to color our perception of what It was doing at the time. but Saints Row would have definitely been a 7ish game if it were more polished. The bugginess is a big contributor to the low scores. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd agree that SR2 is objectively better, but SR3 was so fuckin' ridiculous I easily had more fun with it than SR2. Link to post Share on other sites
