Saints Row reboot has been 7 years in the making with their A team and it is getting lower reviews than their previous game developed by their B team, Agents of Mayhem, which as we all know, flopped hard (we're talking $5 in a bargain bin in less than a year flop). After 2 big flops in a row, I won't be surprised at all if Embracer closes the studio. Volition only has themselves to blame for their demise though, they could have gone with the reboot of the series with the main cast that one of Gat out of Hell's endings teased, or followed up on the time-travel ending of Saints Row 4, but instead they gave us this reboot with an all-new cast that everybody hates, and then self-censored themselves with things like the removal of the series mainstay dildo bat and name changes to Rim Jobs and Freckle Bitches. Now we're seeing reviews with titles like "Grand Theft Adequate", because they drained away the soul of the franchise and went back to making mid tier GTA clones. I may have to go drown my sorrows with a 3rd replay of Saints Row 3 or a 5th replay of Saints Row 4. |
So did this game sell poorly?
