I remember downloading this game without any prior knowledge of the Saints Row franchise. I thought it would be a serious story like Doom. But when the Devil started singing, I fucking fell in love.

Serious..... 🤭 story he says.. 🤦🏻 like Doom!.. ... .... Wait for it......🤔 😆🤭🤣🤣🤷🏻😆💯. John carmack was quoted as saying: Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but it's not that important. Quoted in David Kushner, Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture Chapter 8, p. 120. Doom is a complicated story like your reading library. Devoid of any books except for the ones you were forced to read in Middle School. Thanks for the LoL's but get the f*** out of here.

[@amberdowden2182]

now that you said Satan sings I need to get GOH right now

[@hossdelgado626]

I highly recommend the older games... at least Saints Row 2 forward. This is my personal opinion but getting a recap on Saints row 1 is for the best, it aged like milk and feels like an attempt at copying gta, then sr2 comes out and it has a personality that hits hard and has great moments. 3 comes in and tries to upscale everything. Some people dislike it, but personally it was a fun experience and I still meshed with the characters. Then sr4. It starts alright but the premise bit off more then it could chew, with great moments but equally bad ones. I say it really was a bad place for the company and with Gat out of hell they tried to be funny at times, but the weird game decisions of so many minigames weighed it down along with it being rarer to get that personality they were know for yo leak out... the singing scene though, yeah that was 100% worth my gameplay up to that point.. overall, I'll miss Saints Row as it was, maybe one day it can do it all again. I hope you continue to enjoy the games though, ND I hope you have a good day

[@PoptartParasol]

Same here. I still don't know anything about the saints row series, so gat out of hell was/is still very enjoysble to me. I'll have to play the first and second since people seem to talk about how great they are, might as well see what the fuss is about!

[@craigrobertson1629]

I will say, when I played Gat Out Of Hell, the thing I enjoyed the most was using the wings. Everything else was meh. I personally feel like the controls for the wings was great. I got around the map with no difficulty at all and found myself flying between and over buildings, just collecting the collectables as I saw them. So I disagree with your point about the wings being bad in this video.

[@craigrobertson1629]

Also, did you forget about the boosting? There's a Wing icon next to your radar which indicates how many boosts you have. Boosts help you reach higher altitudes and increase your speed to help you get to objectives and places higher than you. The more wings next to your radar, the more boosts available for you to use.

[@cyberzombie038]

Same, I don't recall having much difficulty with the wings mechanics. As for the rest of the game, I always saw it as a 'no fucks given' but in a comical way. Like they knew they were going defunct.

[@Verchiel_]

The flying was definitely one of the most memorable parts about the game. I genuinely quite enjoyed 100%ing the game just cuz it's a comfortable package. I wish the wings would have been an add-on for SR4.

Once I figured out the wing controls, Flying became my principle means of getting around Hell. Maxing out Super Speed and Flying were two of my main priorities. By the time you're ready for the end game you pretty much can fly from one end of the map to the other with very little effort.

I had so much fun playing this game I was kinda surprised to find out so many people disliked it. Also I thought the flying worked well I didn't have any problems with it. I don't know much about the series as I only played the last two games, but it seems like the fan base for the games is split between those who like the wacky craziness and those who prefer a more serious take.

[@zombiewerewolf9189]

I thought of this idea not too long ago. It may not be the best idea, to be honest, but here's how I'll try to fix Saints Row: We split them up into alternative universes. Universe 1: The Prime and Cannon universe. This universe is made of the first two Saints Row games and is for fans who much rather prefer the seriousness over the craziness. Universe 2: This universe is very similar to the first, but it continues on to 3 and 4. After defeating Zinyak, the Saints, after having some fun with the time traveling technology, must figure out how to use it to restore the Earth and prevent the invasion from ever happening. This universe is for fans who actually like the craziness of the later games. Universe 3: This universe basically leads to Agents of Mayhem. To be a little clearer, How the Saints Save Christmas is canon to both Universe 2 and 3, but Saints Row GOOH is only canon to Universe 3. What do you think? Good, bad? Needs some work?

Compared to 4, it's story is just as absurd and nowhere near as engaging or even funny. Its mechanics are just 4s, and the game in general is just kind of dull to play, as 4 was already struggling to keep its momentum during progression through the game and this just adds new problems on it. Compared to the other mainline games it's an unfocused,messy dlc that comes out of nowhere and wipes them from existence, so that's not exactly a good look either.

I had no issue with the flying. The flying missions were easy. And I preferred this game over IV, perhaps coz of my expectations

[@PoptartParasol]

I get the feeling he prob played those missions before fully upgrading his wings. They are only enjoyable when you do this, at least, in my experience

[@jewelsdragonfly]

The thing to me that made the first 2 great was that there was weight in the games map and story. Like in Saints Row 2, there was so much to explore like different health stores, music shops, going inside a prison and a mall. Everywhere you go, there was something worth driving around such as Chinatown, university, trailer park, and of course the mall. Stilwater has to be one of the most interesting sandbox settings. SR3 and beyond is just "big city" there's nothing unique about it. Even the story felt like no one was safe because of the gangs being intimidating where the characters weren't safe. Characters died permanently, Gat being stabbed, and the main character getting development. SR3 and the rest make it feel weightless by telling the enjoyers, "Oh Gats dead and you let Shaundi die? Don't worry, you call Shaundi after she got killed off and she and Gat will return in SR4."

[@daemonvanmeir9697]

i think gat returned because people were mad about his death and they went the whole crazy alien stuff route anyway, shaundi could only be called if you saved her first and returns in 4 because the canon ending is saving her (if this isn't the reason then idfk what they were thinking)

[@DougJK]

Agree 100%

[@angrydragonslayer]

I felt like 2 had more stuff than several gta games, each of which in turn having more than 3 and 4 combined That's just how it felt, dunno if accurate.

[@jewelsdragonfly]

@@angrydragonslayer the mall in SR2 is a great example where you can drive inside the mall and get stuff in a store, inside a mall unlike most open worlds it's just buildings for show. SR2 had layers in an open world for a 2008 game.

[@darkdestroyer4228]

Well just one things to say: in the third we have the choice to save Shaundi, Viola and Burt if we don't go kill Killbane at the airport. The scenarist said this choice was the real one.

This was another "supposed to be a DLC" game, but at least this one was short, i actually enjoyed it and even got all the achievements on steam(that was a painful, but that's my fault, not the game's lol). And the flying part was actually my favorite thing about this game, it controls like planes and jets in about 80% of the games that have planes and jets, i don't get it why people think it's hard. Sometimes i would just put on some music and fly around for a while, pretty chill.

[@241lolololol]

Ironically enough the flying was the most fun part of this game for me and was the first thing I maxed out

[@nameisrubin191]

This might be a controversial opinion, but I really enjoyed the last two SR games. I really liked the niche in which these games live. They're an ironic take and feel so overkill (in a good sense) and the gameplay felt very refreshing from everything else to this day. I recently replayed SR4 and there's a certain sensation with it that just sticks with me. I love the setting of both SR4 and SRGooH and the game design is hardly reached by any other studio ever. It has that cartoony-naive and bold vibe which I really like and the radio in SR4 really influenced my music taste. Listening to In Flame's "Deliver Us" while gliding through the city is a core memory for me. However, I get the critique, and it's a good video. 👌

[@DKarkarov]

I don't think it is a controversial opinion at all. Saints row 3 was the highest selling game in the series, and 4 was close behind 2 while also outselling 1. Though I agree after saints row 4 what was there to do with those characters that wasn't just completely stupid? Nothing.

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

The 4th game was one of the most fun super hero games I ever played. It wasnt shying away from the fact that it was shitting on the previous games. They thought, at this point whats the point in trying to out-GTA the GTA games? Lets just make some crazy bullshit. And since GTA 5 ended up being the masterpiece to end all masterpieces, literally anything they make similar to Saints Row 2 would seem drab and lame in comparison.

[@dangerszewski9816]

If by "last two" you mean SR3 and 4, not 4 and GOA, then I agree entirely. 3 was the clear highwater mark of the series, a perfect blend of grounded enough to have narrative stakes and relatable characters, but also wacky and over-the-top enough I felt like I was getting a UNIQUE experience not a Grand Theft Auto clone. The gameplay systems also came together beautifully with the upgrade system and weapon unlocks offering a smooth power curve that made the gameplay consistently satisfying.

My biggest issue with the Saints series is that they took what we loved, a story that got dark and gritty but has some random hilarious bullshit scattered around the open world to keep it from looking like a 13 year old's MySpace page, and stripping it down to JUST the "random hilarious bullshit scattered around the open world". Only now that stuff has also invaded the story itself so we're left with nothing to actually ground us. I mean, come on. Look at what happened to Carlos in Saints Row 2. They haven't come close to what they did to our boy back then. It's shit like that I miss. We legitimately didn't know if someone was gonna make it through the story or not. But that didn't detract from the fact you could then call Eye For An Eye and get a Zombified Carlos as a homie.

[@Parker--]

"they took what we loved, a story that got dark and gritty but has some random hilarious bullshit scattered around the open world to keep it from looking like a 13 year old's MySpace page," Hate to break it to you, but the early games were never dark and gritty and did in fact look like a 13 year old's myspace page. The Third was the best because that was the one that finally dropped the 13 year old's unironic B-Rad from Malibu's Most Wanted interpretation of gangs and just leaned into fun and comedy.

[@dangerszewski9816]

I do think SR2 was the best of the series in terms of story (though the gameplay was a half-baked GTA 3 clone at that point, later gameplay was FAR better and, I'd argue, actually ahead of GTA consistently), but they also saw that GTA was going to have a lock on that. If they wanted to break out of Grand Theft Auto's shadow and differentiate themselves they had to go a different route. And boy did they. SR3 for me was the perfect sweet spot of wacky and random but still having narrative stakes, good story beats, and interesting gameplay. SR4 just took it TOO far-- it felt like you were on an acid trip just drifting through different hallucinations "oh, I'm in a spaceship now... sweet. Oh, now I'm a superhero in a cage match... awesome!" the setpieces were good in their own right but the flow and narrative stakes were nonexistent.

If someone asked me what my favorite parts of Saints Row were, I would say yes. In the first place are 2 and 4, in the second place 3, in the third place 1, fourth is Gat Out Of Hell (because I didn't beat it) and finally the Reboot which, although I haven't played it, I've seen comparisons with other parts, but I'm going to play it.

[@deletedwaffles]

SR3 is definitely my favorite of the series. It has a right balance of goofiness to typical GTA clone stuff. Like, you get to drive cars but some of the cars can be suped up or zany. Characters were crazy and the story was just absurd. I loved it. Then 4 came out and made the driving pretty much obsolete. That was why I loved Saints Row, the driving around. Instead you can run as fast as a car and it just kinda turned me off.

I knew exactly how they should have done this. Make your boss character in character creation, galactic empire, blah blah. You get nostaglic after character creation and use the time machine to go back in time to Stillwater, maybe youll prevent the aliens from blowing the planet up later? As soon as you appear on the streets of Stillwater, you are hit and killed by a car. That car is being driven by your character in their prison outfit heading to the clothing store on the first mission of Saints Row 2 and you just play Saints Row 2 again

[@mr.moonlight7810]

Saints row 4 and gat out of hell was very fun games to play. Not sure why people look at this series like they are gta or something. It's dumb as hell.

[@Ash_79997]

Although I felt disappointed playing Gat out of hell I still had fun with it, my biggest stipulation however is the lack of a good soundtrack/radio system within the game because SR from my experience from the first to fourth game has ALWAYS had bangers in it's music catalogue. especially 2. I distinctly remember when I first played this game of when you first get into hell and get into the car I tried to mess around with the radio to find that there's NONE except for the musical numbers in cutscenes which I did not care for in the slightest.

[@felman87]

I feel like having the Saints go on to conquer a planet for the 5th game made sense. Like all their games, it has you starting from Square 1 and forced to claw your way to the top. Since we're dealing with an alien planet, it lets the writers flex their creative juices to come up with interesting scenarios and characters for the players, since we don't need to be tied down to being on Earth. If 5 was successful, they could've released a DLC that had you going to that planet's moon to conquer. Like all DLCs, it'll be smaller than the original game, but unique in its own way. Think of how unique Far Cry Blood Dragon, especially since the basic structure of the game was just Far Cry 3.

See, I would have gone the time travel route, but the Saints being the Saints, end up fucking literally everything up and causing various time periods to merge together, so you have a Steelport that is made of different versions of itself through various time periods and realities, like the Wild West, the 1920's the 90's, the 31st century, and an alternate reality 1970's where Germany won the war, just so we have an excuse to slap Nazis with rocket propelled dildos. So that way we'd have missions where we'd be robbing trains with Jessie James while having intense gunfights with terminators. If you're going to jump the shark, commit to the jump.

@@thatdude1435 Thank you. For a standalone DLC, Pierce (who would be missing during the main game), would be travelling through realities where he comes go a Steelport run by an evil version of himself (Nega-Pierce), and he'd get all sorts of weapons like a gun that rearranges the target's DNA (turning them into a myriad of animals, vegetables, and other things), as well as a sword that literally just turns things to goo. It would be short and sweet, probably around 2 hours, but would essentially end with a boss fight that ends with Pierce and the boss high-fiving through time and space through Nega-Pierce's skull.
