Embracer Group CEO Lars Wingefors has said he’s disappointed by the “very polarising” reception to the recently released Saints Row
labelled the game a buggy, dull mess, and it currently has scores of 62-66 on review aggregation site Metacritic.Speaking during the Embracer’s AGM on Wednesday , Wingefors claimed the game had been “very polarising”.
“Personally, I had hoped for a greater reception to the game,” he said. “It’s been very polarising. There are a lot of things that could be said in detail around it, but I’m with one hand happy to see lots of gamers and fans happy, and at the same time I’m a bit sad to also see fans not happy, so it’s difficult.
“On the financial side, I know, or I’m confident we will make money on the investment. Would it have as great a return on investment as we have seen in many other games? Not very likely, but we will make money, and that’s a very good starting point at least.”The Saints are back in one of the most dated - and bug-ridden - open world games of the last decade
