hearing the dialogue of npcs from previous games goes to show how far saints row has strayed from what it once was

[@ViktorKruger99]

this is why I like Ed Boon, the first 2 mortal kombats had stuff that no one but him in the studio knew about most of the secret characters was just him trolling his co-workers not to mention a secret code to play for free on arcades that was discovered just a few years ago what a legend

[@Brunoki22]

Holy shit! Playing for free on arcades?? Imagine how broken that would be if people knew about it back then! How the heck did this go unnoticed for so many years?

[@KopperNeoman]

@Brunoki11 I think having a code like that is fraud if the arcade operator can't disable or modify it. The statute of limitations has passed now, but if it was discovered I think Midway could be sued.

[@RusticRonnie]

"The percentage of gamers that even finish the game is already staggeringly lower than what you think it is" i assume that's why volition doesn't bother to finish developing their games and just releases them as half broken messes now.

[@RiveryJerald]

well knowing that in todays gaming climate, most games are released unfinished and overly drowning in promises and apology letters, is staggering

It’s attention to detail like this that makes games all the more worthwhile to play, a shame that most of the general audience will overlook it and just want to go by what they see on the surface alone. No wonder games these days feel hollow and vapid.

[@Zafiro_Regio]

my dad got me a copy of saints row 2 that came with a map in the case and in it you can find secrets and marks that would point towards easter eggs like the rabbit in the ocean. i remember calling my dad to my room to see the cool stuff i had found too. that remains as one of my fondest memories of saints row and video games in general also, i grew up w/o access to the internet or even a computer so finding this stuff by myself before i even knew what a wiki was feels really cool now that i reflect back to that.

[@Sharkmonger]

The SR2 Insurance Fraud easter egg was actually revealed on the Saints Row forums years ago in an easter egg competition hosted by then-community lead V-Singular. He kept giving little hints in a thread until somebody finally found the right combo of taunting and button presses. Unfortunately those forums are long gone (although they may still be around on the Wayback Machine) which is why that easter egg flew under the radar for so long.

[@Matthias9319]

I have been replaying Saint row 2 for a long time now and taking my time and it is just so good and replaying it is like meeting old friends and going on vacation to a place I really love, sadly there aren't a lot of games these days that can give me that feeling

[@Bloo_Frost]

that ending monologue about the rationale behind easter eggs was really well spoken

[@SpikeRose]

I still remember the first time I found the rabbit in SR2. kind of spooked me initially because I had no idea what I was following, but that kind of made it more memorable. As for whether or not players will see or care about easter eggs; if it gets players talking, gets them to play the game more, then I'd say it's worth putting in.

[@NEEDbacon]

Right? Sometimes you just got to do things for fun. So what not many people will naturally come across it. IF folks want to rationalize it to that point, why bother putting in an ending when less then 10% of people who play the game will see it. Actually, with the industry pushing live service games and such, they may have had that idea.

[@Hu-kun]

"Game breaking glitches, in MY beloved Saints Row?" Imagine if it suddenly segways to a part 3 of top 10 game-breaking glitches video haha

[@themaskedwander]

I wonder if that Zombie Uprising cut levels thing had anything to do with the what is dubbed "Mr Freeze"

[@apjmeredith]

“Legendary DJ from Britain” please papa flippy, we don’t claim that monster

[@TheNathanNS]

The dev isn't wrong about the amount of people seeing easter eggs being low. Thanks to Xbox/PS/Steam showing the % of players who got achievements, it's always like 5% - 20% of people who actually finish a game, vs something like 1.5% of people who go for 100%. That 1.5% of people are usually the ones who'll see the "secret" easter eggs. Most really do just leave and move on after the main story is done. It's perfectly understandable why those kinds of easter eggs aren't common anymore, why bother putting in all that effort when barely anyone will see it for themselves, and most people would just end up watching it on KZbin instead? I think games that have insanely easy achievements that pop up after like 10 minutes is usually something like 80%. So there's plenty of people who'll only play for the first 20 minutes and never touch it again.

[@Goblindeez935]

Love shit like this Easter eggs are so over saturated but your editing and sense of humor always makes it worth a watch

[@fiestafool658]

hearing flippy saying “game breaking glitch” always feels so right it’s like his catchphrase

[@vrclckd-zz3pv]

6:47 wait, is that why the "Freezer" exists? I vaguely remember that being a thing where if you glitch the game to escape Zombie Uprising it can brick your disc

[@Outside998]

The Freezer has been proven a fake, I believe

[@hellohello-zn5im]

That 70s idea actually sounds sick

[@Brunoki22]

I didn't know who Jimmy Saville was and went searching for it. Now, after reading about him, it seems calling him "legendary" after him having abused over 500 people in his life time, both old and young, and never being caught, doesn't seem so fitting. :/

[@mkarg5012]

I think nowadays whit many people just straight up looking at files or instantly sharing their findings are the reason easter eggs are bevoming less interesting and engaging. There was a certain mistery and nostalgia factor in reading something like a myth and then going yourself to check it out. Damn, even finding one on your own made you feel accomplished and happy that the developer actually thought of something more than a mere alien model dot exe.

[@NvFongyy]

The Castlevania and Shenmue easter eggs would've been awesome to experience!

[@NinjaskKing]

The suit and ties suck all the fun out of everything. Who wouldn’t want a game filled with cool easter eggs to find?

[@KopperNeoman]

Easter eggs were originally intended to put credits into games where publishers didn't allow it. That no longer happens, and on top of that things can catastrophically break down, so...

[@therealrat]

I hate every single saints row game I have ever played but I will keep watching your content

[@alalvarez7301]

I never thought hearing the homies teach me speedrun glitch strats would be so funny. Ah man, in a perfect world we'd have gotten this shit 2 years ago instead.

[@Rayjaya]

There are 2 easter eggs that I will remember for my whole life, number 1 is the cabbit in the ocean from saints row 2. I found it all by myself long before any videos had been posted online just by goofing around and following the arrows. It was probably the very first Easter egg I ever discovered by myself. The other is Patricia tennis riding a fish from borderlands 1, I discovered that while waiting for my then gf (now wife) to get back so we could continue playing. I just happend to shoot the barrels in the right order and was so excited to show her I needed to reset the game and didn't save 😅

[@jasonjean5333]

omg the homies playing video games in the crib wouldve been PEAK esp with that dialogue haha

[@jasonjean5333]

man that last one was somber i was talking to my friends a while back about how i dont see much easter eggs in videos games now and how they are basically non-existent in Open World ones and to hear devs dont put them in bc a majority of gamers wont care bums me the hell out

[@XAlmeidaPT]

Does this mean that The Freezer is a leftover from these extra levels and therefore freezes your game?

[@ThatDudeCalledMax]

THAT is an interesting point

[@LewdSCP1471A]

The freezer also has a tendency to break saves. Holy shit you might be onto something here, the question now is. Was the freezer intentional or accidental?

[@OG_Kratoes]

I really hope open world game developers continue to drop Easter eggs like Saints Row 2 did. SR2's Easter eggs were so good to the point where I personally discovered some that I never knew about until years later after beating the game multiple times. TAKE ME BACK!

[@doctoradventure413]

Easter eggs in the saints row series always felt really special

[@Scootakip]

The Shenmue reference made me happy

[@sjsiemka]

I just wonder why all of sudden over 5 years of abundance, you care about Easter this time and didn't miss out making a video on it. I'm glad you're back tho, just curious.

[@Twister-V1]

The marketing benefit from easter eggs has to be considered by these devs when deciding what to add to a game. Although little easter eggs here and there wont be seen by 80-95% of the players It will be talked about and featured in articles and videos that get thousands to even millions of impressions. Like mortal kombats secret characters and cheatcodes is arguably one of the key reasons why the sega versions were more popular than the snes verisons.

[@realsaint7571]

If all this was in sr 1 i couldn’t imagine how much more would’ve been added In sr2

[@lolcatzidk]

You worked on SR2?

[@gapho5198]

I hate the idea "so few people will find X or do Y that it isn't worth putting into the game" At that point, why not just make a game like pong? Can't do anything but exactly what the developers inteded.

[@JaysasterGaming]

They Referenced Shenmue, I love that, too bad no Money Island references though

[@dewottmaster7720]

So uh, are you still making that Saints Row 1 series?

[@SammEater]

I wonder if these game breakin easter eggs are the origin of that shadow man we heard about it in gaming urban legends. Maybe the reason why the dude breaks the game is due to some spaghetti code shenanigans.

[@broldencaulfield7411]
