However you spin a reboot, there’s no evading the eventual backlash from die-hard fans.
Here are, in our opinion, five of the worst of all time.
That said, it was a saga best served during a time that catered to vehicular combat without issue.
Fast-forward several years, however, and the community became somewhat less accepting of the concept.
This sloppy attempt at recreating an outdated concept ended up doing more damage to the series than good.
Should it have remained in nineties?
For crying out loud yes.
But boy, what a mistake that was.
All in all,Saints Rowwas a terrible mistake on the developer’s part.
That concept, though, revolved around online play, something that not everybody had immediate access to.
And that’s not the only thing that made the watered-down reboot a disappointment.
Let us not forget the half-baked episodic format with questionable plotlines.
Oh, and the glitch-riddled world that just so happened to be the game in its entirety.
Ion Storm, however, had the concept dialed from the get-go.
Of course,Thiefisn’t a bad game.
Its gameplay, which mostly revolves around, you know, theft, wasn’t too shabby.
Bottom line is, Square Enix saw a quick cash cow in this one.
Jord is acting Team Leader at gaming.net.
