5 Things I Dislike About The Saints Row Series

[@legxcii4778]

What I hate mostly about SR3 & 4 is the fact that it gets boring after beating the story or getting 100% completion. The city is dull & lifeless which breaks my motivation to keep playing and there's no ability to replay missions or cut scenes which makes it less replay-able.

[@gabrielandy9272]

the gameplay outside of scripted sequences is what the game trully is, so if you find that lifeless and boring then the game open world is lifeless and boring..

[@GeteMachine]

I was kind of bored with SRTT in general after replaying it. The story feels like its the characters just standing around most of the time, barely knowing what they're doing with just occasional fighting. There's also a shit fun of "filler" and the enemy gangs barely actually do anything in the plot. Unlike the first 2. But yeah, SR3's ovreworld is boring, but even with mission replay it would be boring because most of the missions before Stag shows up, are just activities.

[@bdrum]

@@GeteMachine I disagree tbh, I thought the missions were really fun in SR3 and I didn't mind having activities as missions because it sort of replaced the concept of needing to level up your respect in order to unlock a new mission, which I really disliked in the first 2 games. In SR3 you still had to do the activities, but they felt like less of a chore for me. I do however agree that the city is boring and lifeless, really feels like there's nothing left to do once you've beat the main game.

[@israelmateo2050]

@@bdrum The missions were fun ngl, but the story was stupid, first Phillipe was killed really easy almost at the start of the game, he was the man who "killed" Johnny, the only one who almost did that were the Ronin and they were way weaker than the Syndicate Syndicate had clones, planes, they owned the city, the saints were nothing in Steelport, they should have used that for the story Also the STAG, it was like Ultor 2.0 but better, they had all they needed for defeating the saints, even with that it was really easy

[@ScottishScrub]

1. The fact that there's no mission checkpoints, shops closing at certain times, lackluster clothes options, difficult to get respect up fast. 2. The downgraded look as pointed out in this video, no dual katanas, how they treated Troy and Dex. 3. No Gat after mission 2, SMGs are horrible to use, No day and night cycle, no cutscene viewer, no socks... 4. The story got too whacky wayy too fast, still a fun game but not a real Saints Row game. GOOH - Too short and not enough throwbacks to dead characters, seriously, Shakespeare and blackbeard but no Julius? Loren? Troy and Dex nothing but husks?

[@lolmetaknight]

one thing I dislike about SR2 is when my character is going ragdoll everytime he get fall damages he takes ages to get up.

[@sizzurpmp3]

Funny how The Playa cant handle 3 foot drops lol

[@GeteMachine]

Yeah. I wish they had better animations for that. It just ruins the flow of the combat when you're always knocked over by a hit or explosion but thankfully SR4 did address this with the recovery button. Its still annoying when thrown in the air from how slow it is, but at least that. It was just horrible in SR2 and SRTT.

[@TonyRedgrave-of9od]

Personally, my most favourite Saints Row game is Saints Row 2, it had a darker tone, sure, but the characters and the story was fleshed out better.

[@sizzurpmp3]

I agree. I just wish it's presentation was a lot nicer, but with the amount of content packed into a single map, I don't blame them for scaling back on the graphics. It ended up being a legendary game at the end of the day!

[@ultimatecontagion]

@@sizzurpmp3 I kind of like the visuals that SR2 showcased. Reminds me a bit of GTA IV's orange and brown sky filters at times. It makes sense for the sky to be like that in SR2's depiction of Stilwater. The whole storyline is dark af and having SR1's colorfulness would have kind of ruined the atmosphere.

[@ashrafhaider598]

[@GeteMachine]

If you watch the cutscenes of the first 2, you kind of see how lifeless the cutscenes become as they went on. SR1's had a lot of narrative and character interaction. SR2 had more action and killings, while SRTT the characters mostly just stand around and the Boss doesn't know what they're doing.

[@fredster594]

My issues with all Saints Row games: SR1: The slow enemy spawns, frame rate drops, stores closing during night, Insurance Fraud, the Westside Rollerz being a gang that felt pretty rushed, the fact that if you die or fail an activiity you have to go all the way back to the activity, the fences and barricades everywhere around Stilwater, and the lack of checkpoints in missions. SR2: The awful PC port, frame rate drops, and it's poorly aged graphics. SR3: Boring and lackluster open world, bad story, bad activities except the genki one's, upgrades, the quantity of horrible DLC's, and the removed features like layered clothes and mission replays. SR4: Pretty much the same thing as SR3 with the only difference being the lack of use of cars.

[@alienqueen4369]

Here are my gripes with each game: SR: not being able to play as a female is what annoyed me the most. SR 2: It's pretty ugly graphic wise. SR TT: it's got a pretty boring story and some aspects of it feel kinda pointless imo. SR IV: there's a lot of wasted potential in it. While I love it how it is, it could have been better and done Zinyak justice. For real, he's a great villain. GOOH: no radio

I thought the game tried too hard to be funny but in a childish way, and it didnt work for me. Hyping up a game just for a musical number, and a disney spoof is just lame. I felt the series was really losing its edge, let alone whatever story it had just lowering itself to being just random parodies now.

[@TareqGamer]

here are the things that i either don’t like or bothers me in the SR games 1 - there’s something that bothers me in Saints Row 3 and it is that Steelport is really an uninteresting city and the citizens are boring and you don’t see them doing random crazy shit like in Saints Row 2 2 - I noticed how the character models in SR1 look alot better than SR2 and SR2 uses the character creation for all the NPCs too 3 - I appreciate Saints Row IV as a superhero game but it doesn’t hold up to a true saints row game 4 - Gat of the Hell is well……it’s something else lol

[@sizzurpmp3]

Saints Row 1's character models still hold up. I wish all subsequent games kept this art style

[@AliciaInNevada]

Weren’t there protesters in SR2

[@ostrov3180]

My problem with saints row 3 and 4 is the city. Steelport feels too Grimy and bland. The only interesting places were downtown, and the casino Las Vegas strip ripoff place. The big skyscrapers downtown looked amazing and added more glam to the city. And then zinyak just destroyed that stuff and also the cribs which made the city even worse.

[@Simba2UU]

Sr1: Overpriced ammo. Buying the ammo for a gun costed the same of buying a gun. (Ik loan office exist but still the ammo is overpriced) Sr2: Graphics. I completely agree with you, I think the graphics are kind of a downgrade from Sr1. Sr3: My 2/3rd fav game in the series, I think the worst aspect about the game is easily the city. The City is bland and unlike Stilwater, didn't get more fleshed out with it's sequel, Sr4 Sr4: Not feeling like a Saints row game. It's fun but not a Saints row game at all. SrGooh: The game existing. I barely remember Gooh but I remember the activities being 90% of the game, as well as a short length.

[@sizzurpmp3]

Awesome list, 100% agree with the ammo price, it was waaaay too expensive. The only remedy to this was completing the tedious hitman missions which unlocks you free ammo for the awarded guns in the safehouse. That's a long process tho

[@automation7295]

I don't mind the graphics downgrade in SR2. I never played SR1 and I don't want to buy an Xbox360 just for SR1. I still like Saints Row 2, I don't care about the graphics, it's still fun.

[@notfatigue3169]

My true complaint about SR3 isn't the story, characters, Steelport. It's the lack of melee weapons and non-unlockable outfits. Sure we had the Apocofists, and Nocturne. But why no Sledgehammer, Nightstick, or Katana? They're literally in the Friendly Fire on the wall. Also why can't we keep the Minigun, Flamethrower, or GL G20? Have them as unlockables after you defeat a gang. Why can't we keep the Trailblazing outfit? Tron outfit or NyteBlade outfit? There in the game, let us buy them at the Let's Pretend.

[@sizzurpmp3]

Completely agree with you! I didn't like how many of the melee weapons felt the same. Also, the temporary weapon concept with was indeed awful, they should've just been an extra weapon slot for those. At least they learned from their mistakes with SR4

[@notfatigue3169]

@@sizzurpmp3 Thats one thing I loved about SR4, the weapons were such an improvement from SR3.

[@CrucialParodies]

Saints Row 2 is too grey and dull, like they brought a contrast slider down too much. NPCs all look like plastic dolls since everyone was created in the character creation mode instead of being uniquely designed like in Saints Row 1. Also a nitpick but all the clothes are way too tight in Saints Row 2. Like every shirt looks a size too small, not even just for Playa but for everyone in the game for that matter.

[@sizzurpmp3]

I completely agree with you

[@antmikedavis]

Fr I also didn’t like Julius, Troy, and Luz character models in SR2, they didn’t even look like the same characters and could pass as NPCs.

[@sizzurpmp3]

Yeah, that’s because some of their models were built off the same character creator that the player and pedestrians use. That’s one of the downsides of SR2’s civilians.

[@Alexindiegamedev]

For me SR3 the thing I dislike is that while in SR2 there was alot to do when not doing missions. SR3 took away all of that and SR3 feels boring and empty when just driving around

[@Ghost_Enclave]

I played SR up until GOOH, I never even considered playing that sht. And while I did get SR3 remastered, I think that was the initial downfall to the series. SR and SR2 were leagues above the rest of them. And tbh, SR1 was my favourite, gameplay could definitely feel stiff and awkward as far as I remeber, but it was straight up hood, even more than GTA SA. They used to call it a GTA clone but to be fair, it did almost everything better than GTA. Though as you said, a voice being tied to race limits the immersion.

[@clownsanity]

To be honest I never liked Kinzie and couldn't understand why she was in GOH and AOM but not Shaundi. Volition clearly likes her more than her or Pearce.

[@sizzurpmp3]

Yeah, I agree. I didn't really mind her in SR3 since her appearance were limited, but it feels like she overstayed her welcome during SR4 and GOH. Also, I had no idea she was in AOM

[@GeteMachine]

Yeah, they pretty much made her playable twice, and I didn't get how she was the one they paired with Gat in GOOH. They should have just let you play as any of the characters in SR4. And it is pretty obvious Volition likes her more than the other characters at times, shes like the only character that really does anything in SR4, and all she does is just talk to you off screen. Its weird. They made everyone else seem useless in SR4 and then proved it in GOOH.

[@kalumjackson4799]

“Man, Oh Man, look at those road textures”. I didn’t like the road textures in the first SR3, but I think the remaster made them look better.

The worst thing about 1 is that you quite literally NEED the repair car cheat because every mission in a car is the most annoying thing as your car crumples so easily and you just die in seconds and have to restart from mission start

[@leonnelillianna7575]

One of the thing I love about saints row is the character customization. In other games it's damn near impossible to create an authentic looking black character with my complexion. On top of that, if u do change complexion, often times makeups and paints look clownish because they're all fixed for fair skin; like for example in some of the soul caliber games. Hairstyles can be pretty limited as well, so can voices, or even clothing. I had a similar experience with the lack of hairstyle options for black characters trying to play elden ring(I say trying because I always get crushed in dark souls style games).

[@NismoRacer00]

Saints Row 1 and 2 are my favorite Saints Row games, I like 3 and 4 they're okay. I do agree about your opinion on SR2 visuals, it makes the game look like a nuke or something especially with the crappy bloom effect which is why I prefer SR1 visuals more, I don't understand why back in the day all games have this trend on using nuke filter with messed up bloom effects and call it "next gen" graphics and still to this day it still a thing, I even agree about your opinion with SR3 and 4 too

Wouldnt consider SR4 okay because its not Saints Row, and SRTT was very lack luster with barely a consistent story going on. I think they're kind of overrated. SRTT is short, mostly activities and most of it is just stuff taken from SR2 but with no depth. As for the visuals, I think SR2s is better than SRTTs simply because the explosions look better. In SRTT the explosions just look like cars popping then turning black like charcoal which i don't know what thats supposed to be. SR2 had car explosions that looked better and had lingering smoke effects into the air and the cars would fall apart. SR1 though had better character models and more actual drama going on in their cutscenes and differemt camera angles to tell the story, unlike the later games. In the later games the characters just stand around giving small talk, then mission start. Its lame.

[@peoplebro_1294]

It's funny how I was introduced to saints row was the saints row 1 and I actually forgot that it was saints row 1 I played. It was like the evil farm game incident where people constantly remembered it as a game but couldn't pin point the name. How I remembered: the game started with your character walking and then a shoot out ensues resulting in you being dragged, so I guess I did play saints row 1 first buy always thought sr3 was the first saints game I played

[@littlegreengamer]

Personally, my least favorite things about the games are: -In SR2, the aforementioned filter that makes things look a bit foggy and causes a bit of eye-strain for me (though that doesn't stop it from being my no.1 fave game on the 360) -In SR3, the "gangs" (which look way too much like Batman rejects and not actual gangs like in previous titles) -In SR3 & 4, the redundant copy-and-paste architecture and scenery of Steelport -Even though SR4 had good gameplay, it's certainly far from a spiritual successor and takes away from the overall mood (since I liked being a fearsome and borderline ruthless gang leader *FAR* more than being a president or a superhero) Anyway, great vid!

Pierce is a gang banger, yet he does nothing. Angel is a professional fighter, yet they kill him off (him working with Gat would have been cool.), Viola is a criminal madam, yet she does nothing badass at all.

One of the downgrades of saints row 2 was the police system the swat cops at roadblocks had no voices but the ones in helicopters did. I dont know if its a coding error or if they were programmed like that its the same thing with the Russian mafia in Destroy all Humans 2 on the Tunguska map where they have no voice clips. Also the police chopper no longer deployed Swat and the police intelligence was heavily downgraded but it was improved in terms of APCs and police boats being sent after you and once again the same improvements and downgrades applied to Destroy all Humans 2 where the police and Swat increased in terms of numbers but it was at a cost of them being poor drivers and constantly being ejected every time they crashed they also made both games easier than the first game in terms of difficulty level.

Holding the pistol & smg one handed and sideways, running around with the shotgun & rifle slightly tilted and by hip angle. Felt like a proper gangster attitude especially with the protagonist being a new recruit from the beginning. But in SR2 the animations felt like you handed a middle age man a gun and told him to run and shoot in forward.

And I really felt that statement about the Hispanic voice in SR1, honestly felt like they got a guy from their office to fill in last minute lmao. But glad they got a proper person for SR2. Rip my hermano Carlos, would of loved to see him future installments but he hit our hearts hard in the second game.

[@sizzurpmp3]

@@Matumama157 Same here, Carlos was the boy. Apparently internally at Volition, they regret killing off Carlos, which is why they added optional mission endings in SR3. Cool to see Carlos leaving an impact towards the series beyond SR2.

[@KH0LRA]

Still getting into the series, but here's the gripes i've been having so far; currently mid onto SR 3 right now SR 1: No PC port lmao. Never played it but its kinda ok since I'm a woman and I can't be one there SR 2: Ultor plot felt a little rushed. Took a while for me to get used to the graphical drab of the game but I then justified it as the result of Ultor's urbanizations. SR 3: Gap too big from the previous. Didn't show properly why things really went into place in the beginning. I wanted to really see why Shaundi and Gat were so close tbh, I couldn't sympathise with her well because it lacked context. The Playa and Pierce underminding her grief was also not very homie like too. Gameplay wise.. maybe its just me but I got sick of places being based off of New York, which I saw Steelport being just another one. As much as I hate to have to compare it to something like Liberty City.. even for the depressing atmosphere it really had, it still managed to look pretty and memorable to me. This on the other hand managed to be less. The customization too.. they yoinked out clothes layering and getting accurate proportions on some levels of your character.. but hey tit physics and being able to have moles on your face are cool now I guess?

[@sizzurpmp3]

Welcome to the Row Playa! I agree with the criticism for Ultor feeling rushed. Besides Dane Vogal dropping in a few times during the story, it felt like they wanted to do more with him, especially since he's really likeable (imo) but were forced into concluding the game in order to get it out on time. The context and setting problems plague SR3 as well. I kinda wish we had some sort of prologue mission or cutscnee showing what the Saints were up to instead of the star wars wall of text we got, but I'm guessing the budget didn't allow for that much backstory.

[@KH0LRA]

@@sizzurpmp3 Thanks for your greetings and insights! For real, I wish they did more with Vogel and with what you implied at last, maybe that might have been totally the case since I heard SR3 was one of the last games original THQ made before it completely flopped?

[@markgroves7851]

My main complaint with this series is tone in SR2 you have to mercy kill Carlos in SR3 you beat zombies to death with a purple dildo. SR4 just threw all sense of reality out the window. I do like all the games but I pray that volition tones it back to at least being semi realistic

[@Jamaal_Grant]

To use a diff voice, use a diff race, then alter the appearance so it looks like your race. That's what I did. I made a black character, then modified him to look Asian. But with the black voice.

[@sizzurpmp3]

Yeah, I mentioned that slightly in the video. Something always felt off with my character if i did do that tho, maybe its the face structure, i dunno lol

[@Jamaal_Grant]

@@sizzurpmp3 But that's the thing, you have to modify every detail to the last thing so that it looks like your character, but you start with a different archetype. It works. Just takes time. But fair enough. I hated the Asian voice. Sounded like a bitch, so I chose to create it this way because the black voice was much cooler and sounded more like mine.

[@josephbugeja3208]

Well it’s probably just me that’s thinking this but they probably used kenzie because her & the boss character had the most chemistry & at this point they were probably planning on having them both hook up later on down the line if they didn’t scrap everything else just for Agents of Mayhem.. 😕

[@GeteMachine]

I think the chemistry they give her and the Boss is a bit forced in though because now the other characters don't seem to do anything with the boss anymore as much as they put the Boss with Kinzie. They also never seem to have Kinzie interact with the other characters either. Shes just always with the Boss, while the other characters are left to be useless to give her more relevance. In SR4 they pretty much kill off everyone from SRTT but Kinzie (and matt, even though he's redundant.)

Saints Row 1. Overpriced ammo, when failing missions you always need to replay from start, there's no planes, motorcycles and helicopters, it's only on Xbox, not many missions are diverse, health regains slow, being busted and RPG aiming is bad. Saints Row 2. Graphics are foggy, Carlos died too early, PC port is lacked, when falling you get up so slow, Ultor is a big corporation and they have only like 4 missions and 1 stronghold, Dex got away. Saints Row 3. Gat is dissapeared after 2 mission, Steelport looks boring and bland, NPCs looks boring and they die like in 3 punches, there's no way to disable upgrades, SMG's are weak, bald chicken head on helicopter with sniper and fast ho with hammer, all what removed what Saints Row 2 was having, activities as missions, Pierce and Jimmy are terrible drivers. Saints Row 4. It's the same Saints Row 3 but with aliens and superpowers, there's no any day cycles, you don't feel like you are a POTUS it's only in 2-3 mission, they are still no any improvements, superpowers makes game easy and makes cars look useless, random saints are now useless, storyline, there's no any cribs and it's not a Saints Row game. Gat out of hell. I don't want to talk about this there's so many dislikes i have.

SR1. No actual subtitles for non English moments, rough gameplay, no textures, shitty gunplay, no female option, no boss fights at all (that I remember), playa doesn't have much personality or good voice acting. Good but rough game. Needs a remake. SR2. Very dumb and weak enemies, enemy cars are way too aggressive, boss fights are pathetically easy and no real room to play around, lack of story elements from the first game, bad animations, melee combat just sucked, and still no translation for the other language lines. SR3. Very short, story was inconsistent, too much was recycled from SR2, not much location variety, gang leaders barely did anything in the plot, the Boss acted way too mellow, too many missions were just activities, only 1 legit boss fight with Matt, yet you dont kill him, STAG wasn't very believable and feel too much like an exaggerated Masako, Shaundi does nothing in the story and just gets kidnapped. SR4, suddenly Sci-Fi and futuristic, kills off all the SRTT characters but Kinzie, very very repetitive missions, story has plot holes, none of the new locations are reenterable, cant use homies in main story missions again, awful DLC (from cliche Grinch parody, to the awful Enter the Dominatrix shit), but its campaign overall was better than SRTT. GOOH - Dumb premise. No character customization (Not even for the homies), campaign was the same as SRTT. Just to activities then cutscene. Making Kinzie playable but not the rest of the homies?

So Saints Row 1 and 2 are technically Destroy all Humans 1 and 2 but with drivable cars. That was a feature that was cut from the first 2 DAH games where crypto could originally drive cars.

Bro choosing the black voice cause it fits more isn’t blackface.
