I didnt see any control complaints.
They said they played it early so it is possible your experiening the game after a day 1 patch and therefore having a more polished time with it?

These guys said it the best;The game is telling the player what they SHOULD like, instead of looking at the past games and keeping what worked and go crazy with it.
Because all those stuff that we liked in the past makes us every -ist in the dictionary
So what you’re getting at is this is probably a bigger cyberpunk than Cyberpunk.
With all the shit this game seems to be deservedly getting its surprising to see how many reviews are actually still favorable-

No because I don't think anyone cared as much about SR as they did Cyberpunk. I mean it's not like the last game Volition made was any good either.
I dunno why you seem to have such a hate-boner for me dude.
I played early, you played on time. There was a day 1 patch so it's possible that a lot of bugs could be fixed.
However bugs are not the core of the game's issues. They are annoying and cause some issues but not to a super unplayable level. Removing the bugs doesn't fix the terrible writting, or the bad graphics, or the outdated gameplay design. or any of those fundamental things that make a game....oh what's the word....oh yeah! GOOD!
I even said that there are times when the game can be fun, when things are working and you are just in missions blowing shit up, there is fun to be had with the game for sure and its probably better with a co-op partner because everything is better with a friend. I'm glad you're having a blast with it, but your fun doesn't make the game good. Though to be fair, my opinions do not make a game bad. Every review is meant to just be a reference guide for what each person might or might not have fun with.
Here's an idea, review the game yourself and tell people why you think the game is good, it would be a nice counter-balance to my review and could lead to further discussions.
Excuse me....Puckish Rogue!
In the streams and podcasts Marty comes across as the kind of guy who wants to be friendly with everyone, get everyone laughing and having a good time AKA something akin to the class clown. Based on that and the fact he apparently enjoyed the previous games I get the really he really did want to like it and was doing his best to find positives in it, but at the end he also says "Sunset Overdrive basically does the same thing and that was a decade ago and it's hard for me to not just recommend that instead" or something to that effect which means even then it he couldn't quite click with it, which is honestly not a good sign for the game.
As someone who likes the series much more then GTA(I've beaten a grand total of a single GTA game: Vice City. I could never get through San Andreas and that's supposed to be one of the best), I'm kinda sad this isn't that good because I was kinda looking forward to it. Then again, I played Gat Out of Hell and after that my hopes for the series aren't particularly high. I've been taking a cautious "Wait and see" attitude on this so I wasn't hyped but I am a little disappointed still.
I still own SR2-4 so I couldn't always go back and play those again. I could also play sunset overdrive which I got on sale at some point I don't remember for something cheap and never installed so I got choiced.
I also picked up the Mafia trilogy for $23(Noah Gervais keeps talking me into things and I can't decide if I'm a sucker, the man should run for public office or I just missed that much over the years) and yes, I realize those are almost nothing like SR but basically what I'm saying is I got plenty of other things I could play or replay despite SR reboot not being great.

You can't threat/rob shop owners in a game about running a CRIMINAL EMPIRE.
How is this game a gang boss game again?
Not with that body count.
Tommy was the best GTA protagonist because he wasn't a fucking misery guts or whiny *****.
And here was me enjoying the SR games (2 and on, anyway) because they weren't huffing their own farts on REALISMS and SERIOSITY...
Ray Liotta voicing Tommy helps a lot, just saying. Also, at least Tommy didn't have to take his idiot cousin bowling every 5 minutes.
But for me one of the things that SR did to tell sell me was that mission in SR3 where you jumped out a helicopter into a posh penthouse party to smash up the joint while Kayne's "Power" is blaring in the background. That game had issues but missions like that was why I show up and why I stayed.

I was really rooting for that series to pull itself out of the hole it's been in since 3. Saints Row 2 was such a good game, man. But it seems like it really was just a fluke.
There's that, too... but I still think he'd have been a poorer character for being a misery guts like Niko or a whiny shit like CJ.
I mostly played darts with Little Jacob when the game demand I do a social side mission thing... He was the only 'contact' I could stand.
Yeah, it's a solid setpiece and they nailed the atmosphere.
After playing for a while with the day 1 patch installed, I honestly can't tell if they improoved anything. I've crashed three times so if anything it might be worse now. Enemies will now shoot at me without looking at me and facing completely different directions, so that's strange. Oh and I fell through the map a couple of times when getting out of a car.
It's really unbelievably how shody this game is made. I was hoping it would be a nice return to SR 1 or 2 form, but naw this is more like Ride to Hell than it is to any SR game.

Sounds like it’ll make for a good episode of “Wha Happuned?” someday.
And honestly, I wouldn't even mind the bugs if not for the fact that even if the game was bug free and polished it would still suck. The story doesn't make sesne, characters come and go like we should know them already but they are literally never mentioned outside the missions that involve them. It feels like 50% of the actual plot of the game is just missing. The characters that are there, your crew, make no sense being criminals there is no build up no explaination for their gangbangery nothing. It's like a bunch of college kids who go out and kill people between exams or whatever. It doesn't fit, it doesn't make sense, it has no build up nor does it have any payoff.
I'm legit mad because I don't understand how they can make 3 or arguably 4 great games and then just shit the bed like Amber Heard.
What’s funny is even regardless of how shoddy the game is technically, the writing was all over the wall back when it was revealed.
Even going by comments it seems most fans predicted what was going to happen.
I hate that the game doesn't look like that. The cat in-game looks placeholder and shit. UGH! I'm even more mad about this game.
I really hope someone fucked up and the wrong build of the game went live and we are all just playing a beta build or something.
