I was excited to see what is new and played for a bit. Loving most of the improvements. Looks and runs gorgeous for the most part that I played, feels fluid and snappy, but unfortunately lots of issues from Patch 8 remain, including the bugs and that goddamn hair color intensity that doesn't even belong in a Saints Row game, let alone a medieval inspired RPG.
I seriously hope that hair color eyesore is not there for release.
So I am not really overly excited or dare I say satisfied with this content drop that makes me feel like I really want to dig into it and provide more feedback. It's whatever. Feels like they just dropped the patch so people would finally stop asking about the level 5, Paladin class and reactions. And since it is the final update with 9 more months to go till release, I kinda am not really into playing it religiously as I have in Patch 7 and 8.
To me this is not a good update to leave to people for 9 months. It should have been better.
I don't like being negative, but that's kinda how I feel about the situation as well. I like (most) of what's being added but it feels a bit lackluster for a last patch. There is a lot that hasn't been addressed at all...or only partially (which maybe could give hope or be worrisome if they considered that as a final solution).
I feel like a spoiled brat for not being more excited about it after the testing the patch a bit. Maybe I've already had too many playthroughs in addition to what's been mentioned here 😅
