I miss when the activities had back stories to them. It made you feel like there was a point to them, in the third and IV, they're kind of just there, and they're more annoying than anything else really.
SR1’s atmosphere was intoxicating, it is easily the most “complete” and polished game in the series. Instead of being the main focus of the city, you are just a simple gunman in the criminal underworld of Stilwater, which made it feel very populated, like you weren’t the only person hustling.
Commits crimes for people all over Stilwater, doesn’t say a word to them. But when a person lies about current fashion tends, that’s when he decides to talk.
Loved this game but lmfaoo It's funny how our mute character just walks up to different jobs and they're offering him shit to do right off the back.. just talking and talking without our guy saying a word
@@forgottenfuneral Julius mentions at the start that they had " some friends in town". I think it might hint at the fact that most of the employers were expecting a visit from a Saint.
Kinda wished Saints row 2 kept cutscenes for activities like hitman and chop shop, gave them their own bit of personality instead of only having phone calls
Man i miss how they brought back minor details in these cutscenes as recurring jokes. Didnt really happen in 3 or 4 unless a big flashing hey do you get it pops up.
It’s criminal how many people didn’t play this game and herald SR2 as the holy grail. For me this game will always my favourite in the franchise for the writing the characters, gangs, music and setting. It knew exactly what it was and did it to perfection. Didn’t need all the crazy added gadgets and missions it’s story and side activities were strong enough. Still enjoy it to this day 14 years from day one ☝️
These scenes were definitely the best in the first game. Big variety of characters, sensible comedy, memorable personalities, and even some decent representation all around
@@M4DAttack what the hell thats an amazeing detail see this is why saintsrow one is the best in the series its all the small details that make it perfect
@@stephenvalleley1820 no its the same guy that explains why he has a cane in saintsrow 2 and is referred to as cripple as akugi says leave us cripple its the same guy getting shot in the knee cap with a 44 shepherd can do that
The problem that I have with these cutscenes is that in Saints Row 2, Boss doesn’t walk around or be active while talking with the person who’s offering them an activity they could do. He (or she) just stands there running his (or her) mouth with the other person. Other than that, though… I’m fine with the rest of the game. :3
11:31 So, Pierce was a racer before he was a Saint. Interesting. He's also been through his fair share of hats. Edit: I'm aware that this probably isn't Pierce, as the Caucasian male in SR1 sounds exactly like Donnie, so they must use the same voice actors for multiple characters - However, we can't rule it out until his name is mentioned.
Thank you somebody mentioned this. Its hard to tell if that is pierce or not because they used plenty of the same voice actors from 1 in Saints row 2.. this racer guy is most likely a random unnamed ped if volition hasn't named if already
What Lee did before he protected a little girl was being a lawyer and taught legal history. Then when Zinyak came, his personal hell was the Walking Dead.
Thanks! I just went back and replayed this game via BC on my Xbox One (i'm playing SR2 now) but i had a lot of glitches, especially with the weapons cache not working properly. Anyways i had forgotten that the game doesn't keep track of what activities you actually complete like how SR2 does so i probably visited the same ones 10 times only to find out that i had completed them already, haha!
MrToastsandwich the original Saints Row And original Dead Rising are some of the best games of all time and much better than all their sequels. It's awesome to see somebody who helped me beat both commenting on this :)
So many evil people in Stillwater lol the player is fucked too they are less evil but can be pretty bad, one of the things that makes this franchise unique is the fact your gang is called the saints but they all do devilish stuff, kinda ironic and an oxymoron but at the end of the day they are basically antiheroes, the people of Stillwater and Steelport are the evil people and the antagonists obviously are too i cant really think of a true hero in this franchise its kinda like a Quentin Tarantino movie
I like the newer games more than the older ones, but one thing I can appreciate about the older games is that these cutscenes actually added context as to why the activities actually made sense.
That thumbnail reminds me of my childhood. Not because of the game or anything; that's just what Dad used to do all the time before he went to go grab some beer from the supermarket and never came back.
7:26 Eugh... That dude gave me the creeps, especially with his line. The only other character in any game that even came close to scaring me was the organ-harvesting doctor in GTA 4...
