I'm happy people are still giving this game the recognition it deserves, there's so much detail and effort that was put into this game, and the fact there are still unsolved mysteries and discoveries, aged like fine wine 15 years later really shows how fantastic this game is. This is my favorite open-world crime game of all time, I love GTA games too, but Saints Row 2 borrowed some of the aspects they did and made it better. It wasn't just another "GTA clone", it also had a lot of things that made it distinct from the GTA series.

You can even see dust particles, and the knit of fabric. Freaking love the amount of details they put into this game. Like a shadow actually changing with the day! There are so many things that i see and I go "they didn't have to do this but they did" that I absolutely love. Like with the prison, they added all of those rooms and ways to get into different areas that most players won't even think of going into. They could've just blocked the area off (unless it was for a mission but had to cut it). And sadly after w they began to stop at the first half, "we don't have to do this so we won't." I didn't know that a day and night cycle was considered a luxury.

My favorite location... The science museum, the underground area of purgatory, and the airport. Most mundane area I love to explore is the factory district. There honestly isn't much but it really fleshes out Stilwater as a map. I also love that most mission locations are accessible to you before and after said mission. It makes me feel like I'm the main character of a game but not Stilwater, things exist regardless of the plot. Like the Loa dust labs. If i go beforehand then it hits me that narratively the SoS are in operation right here and right now. When it's destroyed and you can't return again that's the narrative of the story, as players we are effecting our environment. Same with the steel drum player, once the SOS are cleared out no more of that npc anywhere. I love details like that.

People need to stop acting like Saints Row is a GTA clone. Its not. Its a GTA PARODY. Comparing it to GTA is like comparing 300 to Meet The Spartans. Theyre not meant to be compared. One is an original, and one is specifically meant to be satire
@CaptainGlack3 ай бұрын
They are extremely comparable though, as are 300 and Meet the Spartans. In order to parody something you must first copy it, right? That’s literally how it works. Satire requires you to mimic the source material. You disproved your own point, there. Lastly, I mention GTA once in this video.
@amelioravictoriadionyssia33233 ай бұрын
@@CaptainGlack I would argue that parody is specifically not mimicry because it changes the subject material. There is nothing actually original about GTA. If you want to use that logic, then Vice City is just a copy of Miami Vice, and Miami Vice is just a copy of American Gangster, and American Gangster is just a copy of... Etc Mimicry means pure imitation, saints row doesn't purely imitate, it changes the subject material a lot. And GTA lacks the direct politicality of gangs/factions that exists in SR. The way the world works and the attitudes of the characters are drastically different. GTA characters are mortal and fearing; SR characters are extremely powerful and laugh at death. Even Trevor has more pain and fear than Johnny Gat ever will. They have different environments, and are set in different fictional cities (in respect to their real life counterparts)
