Here’s something interesting, When enter the dominatrix was still dlc for the third, there was a saints row game intended as the 4th that was in development. It was called saints row 4 prime or part four, it would feature a brand new city to explore, parkour, a cover system, and more. The plot would’ve had Ultor create an evil clone of Johnny gat since he was originally supposed to be killed off, Ultor also ends up cloning Genghis Khan, cleopatra, and Joseph stalin, they would control different districts of the new city just like the gangs before. Definitely sounded very interesting

One thing I really loved about SR4 were the little references to older games. Not just the obvious stuff- SR2 Shaundi, the SR1 level- but smaller things. Like, for example: If you listen to the Reggae radio channel, you'll find it hosted by Mr Sunshine, the voodoo villain from the Sons of Samedi. Putting stuff like that in shows the devs cared about making this the capstone to the series, and wanted to remember what had come before.

This is one of the reasons why I hated SR4. I'm all for crazy action but this just feels like overkill to me. I actually didn't mind the car controls in Saints Row and I had a lot of fun with customizing cars like it was NFS Underground, but when the game had a bigger focus on leaping and sprinting like Sonic The Hedgehog, I quickly lost interest.

26:08 fun fact, when the game was still in development and didn’t really have any assets of its own (it was literally saints row 3 with some very janky superpowers to get the concept down) the game was called saints row 3.5. if you watch volition’s saints row anniversary stream on saints row 3, they show the early version and it has saints row 3.5 in the title

@gluserty 4 года назад

The explanation for Zinyak not killing all the Saints is two-fold: he wants to torture the boss mentally with the simulation, and he's a collector of certain human beings to learn from, and especially someone like Kinzie is really useful intellectually.

@forehand101 3 года назад

Gat out of Hell I liked better than SR4, but it's also so much shorter. The biggest positive about GooH is the map which I believe to have been completely redone, but by mostly using assets from SR4. The super powers are all the same, you can actually fly a little instead of just gliding, some activities are pretty similar (new ones were added which were nice), weapon customization is almost non-existent (makes up for it with new and cooler weapons I think), cars are actually pointless now, and on and on. I think it still worth a review though since it is the latest game in the series even though it plays very similar to SR4. It's like they tried to pull a "Enter the Dominatrix" type thing, but didn't quite get there.

Yup. When I got a hold of Saints Row 2 for the first time, I remember absolutely loving it. It was fantastic, and had just the right mix of serious and silly. Then 3 tried to kill off an extremely popular character, changed a really popular character so much she might as well have been a different character, introduced not-Stilwater, and tried too hard to be silly without any of the gravitas and seriousness that kept 2 pretty grounded. Not to mention they replaced Charles Shaughnessy with Robin Atkins Downes in future titles (to be fair, that's more or less a personal nitpick). What makes it even worse is knowing that Saints Row 2 was more or less a fluke. The only reason it happened at all is because Volition fucked up the ending of the first game and decided "lol oh well." Christ, this series deserved better.

Wow, these comments are toxic. People write off SR2 (and to an extent, SR1) as a baseless GTA clone and people crapping all over SR IV for being too over the top, and all that stuff. Me personally, I enjoy them both for different reasons. I like SR 2 for the open world stuff, and SR4 for the chaotic action. I don't have to debate which is "better," since I can just pick up a different game whenever I'm in the mood for something else. What this? Someone who enjoys different games? Wow, a foreign concept. I miss the time when people respected others' opinions without being toxic about it. Oh wait, this is the Internet, and "respectful" is something many people never seem to comprehend.

@archivedaccount5990 5 лет назад

My thoughts on this game is complicated. At first, I thought it was interesting at most, to the point where I considered it "Superman 64 done right" and yes I actually compared it to that. But when I went further into depth, it ruffled my feathers a bit. It just doesn't feel like a Saints Row game to me and I just couldn't get into it as much as the previous games. I get trying to differentiate itself from GTA (hell, I preferred SR2 over GTA IV back in 2008, and even now), but for the most part it plays like a bootleg Crackdown/Prototype. I pretty much HATED everything about this game. But then, I eventually made my peace with it. I took another look at it, and I still wasn't fond of it. While there are a few chuckleworthy moments here and there, most of it just feels dumb for the sake of it and it gets really tiring overtime. It also gets boring pretty quickly (to me at least), since there's nothing to do after beating the missions and you can't even replay them after completion. The constant super-jumping and super-sprinting gimmick doesn't interest me that much, either. Personally, I prefer the first two games but I can see the appeal of The Third and IV, even if I'm not fond of them.

Saints Row 4 is the best Crackdown game and probably the best Prototype game. Saints Row 4 is not a Saints Row game, and the game’s story is literally a shitpost that only connects to the other games through fan-servicey references to Saints Row 2. But put that aside it’s honestly a way better GAME than Saints Row 3. SR3 was in this really weird in-between period of Deadpool humor and sci-fi elements in something that ain’t sci fi. To me, Saints Row 4 took that all the way and made it great instead of riding a weird in-between line of corporate gangster and goofy sci-fi. Saints Row 3 is too over the top for me, but Saints Row 4 isn’t, because of its shitpost nature, if that makes any sense. Plus, at the end of Saints Row 4 they found a time machine so that’s probably an excuse for Saints Row 5 to go back to SR2 type of stuff.

@ZetaRidge7 5 лет назад

TBH, I really like this game and as a saints row game it's quite decent if you don't mind the over-the-top gameplay/story. Me personally the game was quite fun and definitely an improvement from the third. It's probably my second favourite game in the series next to SR2. =)

@sentinelcheese3420 5 лет назад

Speaking of Saints Row, the sequel is confirmed to be in development by THQ during their earnings. In the meantime, you could review the Gat out of Hell DLC and Agents of Mayhem which is a very different game to Saints Row but has almost all the characters of Saints Row.

As someone who went through all the games fist only (excluding missions where guns are mandated) max difficulty I can say that this one was the least difficult. Incase anyone is curious, the order of difficulty is from hardest to easiest 2,1,3,4. In one I actually enjoyed it a bit more with fist over guns cause of the wonky controls. In terms of which is the funniest fist only I belive 3 takes that cake.

I just want to say that Saints Row 3 is one hell of a game, it has a lot of hate, but damn it was funny, a lot of silly jokes but they were good and it also got them out of the “GTA clone” tag. I personally didn’t like Saints Row 2, it was trying so hard to be like GTA with a story that they made it kinda of boring and very lifeless, no personality at all. I do agree that Saints Row fucked up real good. I just hope they do a new Saints Row forgetting all about 4 and having the junior of 3 and a bit of seriousness of 2, and for the love of good, improved graphics, thanks if you read until this point, I’d love to see your comments

Saints Row 4 is a very good game if it didn't damn crash every 30 to 90 minutes on pc. I think I've had 8 game crashes in the span of four hours trying to play the game casually, and not to mention that I have a high-end pc as well.

The Third and IV are fun and all, but I felt little to no attachment to the Third Street Saint as a gang at all. It won't hit the spot for those who want a somewhat "serious" or little "sensible" plot regarding gangs and stuff.

@josephbugeja3208 4 года назад

I don’t know why but I get the feeling that if there’s ever going to be a new Saints Row sequel they’ll have to make a bold move to get anyone interested in a new Saints Row game again after all of that AGENTS of Mayhem bullshit fiasco & that’s to make a major reckon. A change to bring Saints Row back to it’s roots of being a perfect mixture of both of the over the top silliness & serious grounded tone. Hear me out, what if the events of Saints Row the Third onwards was all just a series of videogames created in the Saints Row universe. Like those simple mini games you would play in your crib in Saints Row 2 just with a lot of conveniently placed Saints Flow Product placement to go along with it, think about it. It’ll lower stakes, it gives them the chance to make the games story more personal & fleshed out, it explains away why their world has become soo cartoony & most of all it removes THQ Nordic’s urgency to try to top “conquering the entire goddamn universe” & they can finally pick & choose what they want to add to the new game with the simple explanation that “some” of the elements of Saints Row the Third onwards did happen like STAG or the Syndicate or even being in a Metal Gear satire missions esc hell you can even throw both Prfessor Genki & Genki Bowls Murder Time Fun Time in there. Just not the crazy stuff like accidentally causing a Zombie outbreak, earth getting destroyed by aliens & or literally going to motherfucking hell!.. & somehow doing whatever bullshit AGENTS of Mayhem did because nobody wanted or liked AGENTS of Mayhem since everyone with a brain knew that they weren’t even trying at that point. Since the novelty of their “Over the top action of their cartoony direction” has worn off & has outstayed it’s welcome.. 😒

@deadweight4887 5 лет назад

I love SRIV almost as much as The Third, but yeah the recycled map didn't help. I still had tons of fun thought, there's something really magical about running around a city with super speed, jumping etc. SRIV sure could've been much better, but it was good enough for me to replay it 3 times and achieve 100% completion :)

@Dark5tar001 5 лет назад

For me, it's a mixed bag. Personally it's my favorite in the series purely by how fun it can be in solo and coop and the sheer absurdity of the game. I can see how people were alienated by this one. I can't say I'm much of a fan of Gat Out of Hell though, hope you get to take a look at that.

My apologies to make a request so indiscreetly, but I see you have a lot of racing game reviews, so I found it appropriate. Could you check out Xpand Rally or its sequel Xpand Rally Xtreme?

@CsubAzUrmedve 5 лет назад

It's interesting that because of GTA, Saints Row completely passed you by. To me it was the kind of the opposite. I found Saints Row, and I can't enjoy GTA that much anymore. I love the 3D GTA games (GTA 2 didn't age well sadly), especially San Andreas, but after that GTA 4 was kind of underwhelming. Who am I kidding... it was a disappointment, I'm sorry to say. It was a good game, but the content, the fun was lacking for me. The vehicle control drove me insane. The friends that constantly nagging you about bowling and drinking, always driving from mission start to where the mission actually starts, Roman shouting about tits were tedious. Ragdoll physics can only be fun so many times. GTA 5 was awesome while it lasted, but I completed the story only once. The several mind numbingly dull missions and other annoying things that I ignored the first time made their effect complete the second time around and I just zoned out. Helicopter controls are a stuff of nightmares... Don't get me started on GTA Online... Because of GTA 4, my brother and I found Saints Row 2. It was a blast from start to finish.

@TheKeyser94 4 года назад

The latest GTA games PC ports are really bad, even GTA V, they really fixed the graphical problems in GTA V but continue with the same problems with the controls, they are very hard to configure, Rockstar seems to forget that it a fucking PC; and it shouldn't be a nightmare configure the controls.
