If you're talking about VtMB2, yes, it's most likely in development hell rn.
I played VtMB and VtMR, but it was a long time ago. Who's that exactly?
SPOILERS I want everyones honest opinion
- Thread starter SHADOWSAINT303
- Start date
Well.. Breaking Bad was well written for starters.
Breaking Bad is also a generational trendsetter who's talent calibre comes infrequently, which definately not everyone can and will get.
Like I get what they were going for. The street gangsters of the 2000's are not as cool as they used to be and now younger people look up to "Self-Made" "Hustlers" who peddle platitudes while defrauding their followers of money through get-rich-quick courses and pyramid schemes. That plus the "Marvel dialogue" that was likely stylish and fun when this game was first being conceived but has gotten stale by launch-time.

Developers pet character from the dice book. He literally was everything and so broken that they wrote him out of continuity by have reality hate him so much he imploded into his own inescapable dimensional prison fatally.
My honest opinion is that the game was passable, which is a shame. I wish they did more with the story and they did more to make the side activities more fun. They aren't. They are very general and there is way to much fetching.
I wish they focused the story on how the boss meets Neenah, Kevin and Eli instead of having them already be friends. I think it would've been better if the Boss was part of the Marshalls for a longer set of time. Just spitballing, but imagine if the boss was already part of the Mashalls for a while, maybe even a higher rank. Or maybe you start out as a rook, but your actions make you grow through the ranks faster, causing more competition with Gwen, which could be a fun thing to explore. There are 3 gangs ruining Santos Ileso and a bit like now, Neenah, Kevin and Eli are eacht part of one of the gangs.
In your missions to uphold peace (and abuse your power as a PMC) you meet the three, and every mission, you help eachother out. Starting a friendship individually. Then the boss brings the other three together and they find a liking to eachother. So the Marshalls in the meantime are getting more brute and start to blame stuff on the boss, like the failure of their missions. They are also needlessly brute against other gangs, bringing the Boss, Neenah, Kevin and Eli on the idea to bring all gangs together.
So they start to work towards that goal, but things fall apart, the gangs betray the three friends and the Marshalls betray the boss. So then they decide to start their own gang, the Saints (with a little joke that one of them heard the name somewhere before, but couldnt place it, leaving it open to a crossover when the series start to get more crazy) and they can finally start some work, unlocking the last of the missions to take over the city.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, the story was very generic, could've used much more work. The sidemissions were mostly boring. The bugs destroy the game, I can't play coop because of many bugs. And I have no motivation to 100% this game, something I had with Saints Row 2, 3 and 4. I do wish they will return to their edgy, over the top humor. That they will parody other games and point out their ridiculousness while being ridiculous themselves. That they come with more fun activities. Bring back Fight Club, more transporting missions, racing, Fuzz, Crowd Controll... I mean, they have so many examples from their previous games, there is no excuse for this game to be an average open world game. Even Far Cry 6, the most basic open world game from UBI feels more fun. Which is a damn shame.

I understand the direction they were going (kinda), time for a change. It was only so many scenarios they could have made with the OG Saints anyway so I see what they were doing. I’m all for changes, but there’s just some things they should have left alone, like the recruiting process: Now it’s only our contacts that can follow you and may or may not be busy rather than someone waiting on command, not only that but there’s so many diverse unique styles that just go to waste because of it now. I love this new reboot don’t get me wrong, but that was one of the key fragments of the series, you take away the full use of your army you take away the grind of getting so many of these businesses outfits for them. To shortly answer: I like the Structure background with this new reboot, a chance to make new history while The OGs go on in the history books, but I don’t like some of the new changes. If (God hear my prayers) they do fix some of these things in a patch with the release of one of these expansion packs then I think the game would be more fun, but as of right now even with the fresh new backgrounds I feel like I wasted $100 on the platinum bundle.
People really don't buy physical copies much these days. So that was probably more of getting it out to be looked at.Yeah, about that

We can only hope this isn't the final nail in the coffin for Volition. AoM was a disappointment, and AoM is looking to go that way as well.
