I feel extremely offended by some people comparing Saints Row to Cyberpunk.
Cyberpunk 2077 was just unfinished on release while Saints Row is a souless corpse that was necromanced properly.

@matrix i looked at downloading that but the reviews were so bad... trying to somehow keep relying on slapstick to carry it but trying to be woke at the same time :blobcatglare2:

@matrix i was just thinking about this actually. cyberpunk was at least pretty good on PC still. not exactly what i had hoped for but i never really had any crazy bugs except the one time i had a guitar loop on repeat in one ear and was invincible until i exited the game. but the game still genuinely looked good. its main problem really just came down to the fact that they promised it worked on last gen and then it really, really didn't.

but yeah, saints row looks like dick and plays like dick, especially in the context of the other games in the series.

@beardalaxy Well it isn't just the performance and bugs. Cyberpunk even now feels in some ways that it's missing content, but what was there on launch was on PC mostly playable and fun and it was set in a beautifully handcrafted world.
Saints Row's world is empty, missions lack engagement and creativity and writing is just garbage. The bugs are just a rotten cherry on top.

There's some extremely frustrating parts in cyberpunk, but I had plenty of fun with it.
I highly suspekt that the fun well be very limited with the other one
@matrix THERE IS A NEW SAINTS ROW GAME?? WHY?? I enjoyed playing 2 and then sr4 with my friend, they were fun games
@matrix 2077 was bad, and the bugs were just the most obvious of its issues, but it was also incredibly ambitious and did genuinely have a lot going for it. It wouldn't have been such an infamous failure if it didn't have potential, and didn't have some genuinely good stuff beneath it all to make people long for "what could have been".

Saints Row is just as buggy, without any of the quality parts that made 2077 worth caring about, and without even the tiniest fraction of a single percent the ambition. It aimed to be worthless garbage and that's all it'll ever be.
