Why Saints Row fans care about Dex

Many people forget that Dex was once in the same ranks as Johnny Gat. Although he didn't play a big part in Saints Row 2, he still had a presence that connected the entire story. With the Boss and Troy on neutral ground, and Julius dead, the only thing left to do was take care of Dex. Unfortunately, nothing was resolved, leaving old fans angry and new fans confused.

[@GameitechTV]

I'm an older Saints Row fan, and personally I keep the mentality of "The series stopped after the second game" because of how ridiculous of a turn it took, especially in characterization - with the Protagonist going from cold blooded to light hearted. I'm glad you explained this Flippy, as I feel a lot of people who've played Saints Row only because of the Third and Fourth games just didn't see the point in even referencing Dex. Dex was the last loose end to add closure to the story. I just want to know why Saints Row took a different direction with the 3rd and 4th. I can't help but feel cheated whenever I think about how you started off as some gang banger, fighting in the streets of Stillwater, and then you're the president fighting aliens... It's just so.. No.

[@maudiefinn2244]

I completely agree. The third and forth saints row took a turn I was never expecting and It really dissapointed me. Sure, they're extremely fun and easygoing, but when you've been a hardcore fan of the series from the start, seeing all the characters you loved change or not even be included at all its really heart breaking. Shaundi for example, she was so cool and laid back in the 2nd one, really a great character and definitely my favorite female character in the series (other than Tanya Winters). She turned into a bitchy whining parody of herself and I really disliked her character in saints row the third. The emotion of Aishia's, and especially the cruelty of Carlos' death, brought me to tears. Nothing in the later series came even close the the harsh, badass actions of the boss in saints row 2. I know it's never going to happen but I wish so much the creators would make a tribute game to the originals, called something like 'Saints Row Origins" or something like that.

[@universeruler1]

Freckle bitch's, forgive and forget,eye for an eye,chicken Ned,legal Lee, Mr.Sunshine surviving so many bullets.The many character blasting his well through a fucking prison island after just waking up from a 5 year coma. The first games are drenched in silliness! Open your eyes people! It never took a different direction, it just kept progressing. Getting bigger and crazier.

[@TheCongregate]

bob No there was balance between the wacky humour and serious plot driving cutscenes like Aisha’s death. Saints row the third didn’t have any of that, no emotional investment. They tore the balance to pieces and it ruined what was built in the previous two. But then 4 came along and they pushed the boundaries so far that it actually became likeable. Yeah it ain’t the wacky game with a storyline about gang warfare anymore but at least it had good writing and amazing references

[@klauserikk]

Its with one L bitch

[@vnz_kurama7579]

That's a really smart way

[@BullworthGraduate]

I once read an article years before the release of "Saints Row: The Third" that the game was going to take place in another city where the main character would hunt down Dex. And honestly, I wish that they did do something like that before moving on to the goofy path that "Saints Row 3" and "IV" followed. "Saints Row" and "Saints Row 2" are classics that had a really good story-line going on. And having "Saints Row: The Third" avoid that loose end was just a slap to the face. And killing him over and over again in "Gat Out Of Hell" wasn't really as good as confronting him and fighting him to the death. For all those possibly and yet annoying little kids who started the series at "3" and say "who cares about Dex", they'll never understand the importance of storytelling.

[@dedoselmedio1134]

exactly i feel they sold out bigtime, the story is what made me stop playing after 3 (i reluctantly played three) not because the first games were "more gangster" or had supposedly better mechanics or was a more serious game, i just really loved the story and felt betrayed when they ditched the story the way they did.

The Third really fucked this series. They could've done so much after the ending of 2 but they chose the worst possible route. They swept almost every character and plot point of the first two games under the rug and simplified everything under the pretense of "fun." The Third was the least fun of the series for me. Hopefully the reboot brings Saints Row back to its roots.

[@piccolojunior9820]

***** How? The only thing SR2 simplified was the store robberies. Most characters from the first appeared in some way. Two side activity characters from the first even had minor roles in the story. All of the plot points from the first were addressed in some way and at the end they even hinted at finishing them up in the third game. But nope. Clean slate in SR3.

[@piccolojunior9820]

To Be Honest The CGI SR3 Trailer Seems like it's on the Classic Gangsta Side: SR3's Story Should have Been: - The Main Character, and Pierce, Gat, and Shaundi are asked by the FBI, to help take down a massive organization (Like the Vice Kings and Saints Combined) which is led by Dex. There are also another Three Smaller Gangs (Colombians, Russian Mafia, and An Roman Themed Gang) - Dex is the Most Wanted Person on the (Saints Row Universe) FBI's List, using his Intelligence, and Douche-Baggery to rise on the top. Corruption, Murder, Assassination etc - Kinzie and Zimos would appear, however Kinzie is less of a Misanthropic Bitch, and is still in the FBI. - Viola and Kiki would still appear leading a prostitution ring like what the Vice Kings had in SR1, and are Dex's Assistants etc, unlike Tanya they however Join the Protagonist's side. - Steelport Appears but isn't represented as it does in Saints Row: The Third, being more fresh, little to no copy-and-paste, and more realistic (On a Saints Row 2 Environment Level) - Killbane is replaced with a Ex-Soviet Russian Soldier (Similar to that guy from Rocky IV) who is more intelligent, and doesn't fucking obsess with fucking wrestling. - Matt Miller is replaced with a Man who is obsessed with the Idea of a "New Roman Army" basically a Schizophrenic Historian. - Loren is replaced with a Hispanic Druglord, who is comparable with Victor, Angelo, and Big Smoke from San Andreas. - The Mission Strand would be comparable to Saints Row/2, where the prologue has the player sent to the (Alternate) Steelport, getting the basic setup ready, etc. Then The Roman, Russian and Colombian Mission/Stronghold Strands. - The Final Strand is Dex's Gang, with the Smaller Gangs out of the way, Dex's Gang is more tougher then three combined, with the gang members being like a Cripz/Masako Hybrid, with Powerful Weapons, etc. - The Ultor/Saints Product Whoring and shit, never happened, The Saints are well Known, across the US, however aren't celebrities, but like the Fame of Cripz/Bloodz across Urban Western Countries and that. - It would be on the level of how SR2's Storyline went out, Serious, with some funny elements. - A Few new, character's would be introduced. - Oleg, would appear, as a Russian Agent, that is taken Hostage by the Russians, and would help the saints. - The Gang wars become so bad, that by Dex's Gang's Mission Strands, a More Realistic (With No Laser Guns, however the Sonic Boom would still appear, since that would fit in as a Easter Egg/Special Weapon) STAG Would appear, their appearance would be similar to the Future Warrior Program the United States Military was doing in the Early 2000's. - The Map would be Bigger than SR2's Stilwater. - More Weapons, Vehicles, Characters, Activities, etc and things to get and find then Saints Row 2. With some returning weapons, vehicles and clothes from SR1/SR2, including new content. - Drugs and Alcohol would act like they did in SR1, along with spawning on Pedestrians, and Many places to get it from, along with some new Drugs and Alcohol. - There would be about Double the amount of Interiors there were in SR1 and SR2 Combined. - It would follow on the Style of Saints Row 1 and Saints Row 2. - The Player is similar to how they were in Saints Row 2, A Mad-Dog Psychopath. - Dex can die, however the player wishes. - Modifications for Guns would appear, how they would act similarly in Far-Cry 4/GTA V etc, the Player can put them on and take them off etc. -- Camo can be applied, like in Saints Row IV. -- Dual Wielding would be like in Saints Row 2. - You Can Shoot from Parachute (After You Activated it) - Food is Realistically Cheaper, however it is more abundant, along with more Food Types. - Grenades would take up the slot like they did in SR1/2, however the R2/RT is still binded to throw them. -- Satchel Charges would still work like in SR2. - The Game would be as challenging like in SR2. - Drugs would be bought from Drug Dealers, instead of Liquor Stores, Drug Dealers would have an Icon when they spawn. - The Game would keep everything that was good in Saints Row 1/2 that wasn't mentioned. - The Multiplayer would work like it did in Saints Row 1, but with less glitches, and better gamemodes (That don't suck dick) - Any Crazy, Over-the-top weapons would be Easter Egg, End-Game weapons, similar to the Gentlemen of the Row Weapons (and The Penetrator, Finding it in a Strip Club, back entrance or something) - No, In-Your-Face Easter Eggs, or Penis Jokes or anything, like how they were done in SR2/SR1 - More Special Dynamic Events (Robberies, Hiests, Suicides, Gang Wars between the Different Gangs/Stag/Cops) - Melee Weapons are like in Saints Row 2 (Satisfying and Powerful) - No Upgrade Horseshit, Respect is used like it is, in Saints Row 1/2. -- Health, Sprint, and Faster Gang Heat wearing off is gained by Finishing Activities/Diversions. - Weapons aren't weak BB Guns like they are in SR3/IV/GooH (They Act Realistically but Fun, like in SR2)

they need to have saints row 5 be a wrap up, with chapters that cuts loose ties. How did Dex die EXACTLY? where's Donnie? how did Troy get to where he was? etc., and they need to also end off the games, maybe with some disaster that kills ALL the saints permanently, but the Boss makes it to the time machine as he's bleeding to death and somehow stops himself from having the Boat Explosion Incident, (but also getting shot up at the beginning of the first saints row because the machine glitched (because it was damaged in the conflict), or something else along the line of time travel that allows the series to have taken a turn to a extremely dark, violent side (not GTA dark, but I mean REAL dark). it would be a nice change. they already changed the game so much anyways, now is a time to do the opposite of Saints row 3.

[@TASouthpaw]

Dex died when the world exploded. Donnie was put in a simulation and appeared in 'Enter the Dominatrix'. Troy was always a cop and after setting up The Boss he was promoted. The disaster was the world exploding. Did you completely forget about Saints Row IV?

Man i miss Old saints row im talkin 1 and 2 not that awful 3 and 4 volition messed up seriously? ALIENS? what? for gods sakes they were a gang not some government agents fighting aliens on other planets!!

[@VIadimirPoutine]

Yeah. Volition messed up a good thing.

[@DrMrCole]

VIadimirPoutine I sort of agree. I miss the psychotic boss who don't take no for an answer. But the saints row series has always been a not serious game. I mean SR 1 was a gang game but 2, voodoo, toxic waste tattoos, um super Asian ninjas! It was always a have fun killing game. Yes volition took it to the next step and said fuck it. But the best thing to do is go with it. 3, and 4 are both really good games. But the series was allays funny and didn't make sense.

[@VIadimirPoutine]

DrMrCole I think Saints Row 2 was as far as they should've gone with the unrealistic factor. They completely forgot about the whole gang ordeal. The game shouldn't even be called Saints Row anymore, it's a whole new game now, in a bad way. I haven't bought Saints Row IV and I don't plan to buy the fifth possible installment. They have just really taken it out of context and it shows they are lacking effort into their games since SR IV is just a DLC of SR3, it pretty much was a DLC. I am not going to commit to a game that doesn't commit to itself. Saints Row is turning into the next Call of Duty. The reason why GTA sold so many copies is because they let the anticipation build up and as well they took their time with the game.

[@Zo-Brand]

i like what they did whith the powers and stuff but in my opinion they messed it the series up with 3 and 4. i still liked playing sr 3 and 4 but i think they should have been a different game series, but sr 1 and 2 where so sick i think it could have become a better game series then gta if they had continued on the same path

[@gothicsilence5914]

DrMrCole they are not ninjas they are a army that shogo was given by his father and then his father sent jynichi to be shogos bodygaurd shogos father belongs to the yakuza and alot of crime families in japan or from japan like tradition so they would have their members own samarai swords and putting toxic waste in tattoo ink will burn your face the voodoo is in fact unrealistic but they made mr sunshine a scary character and the truth about mr sunshine is he is the generals personal zombie not a decomposed man eating zombie a man who sacraficed his life to gain mortality but he has no life doesnt sleep or eat or feel emotion and his master is the general in voodoo to kill a zombie you m,ust remove the head thats the only way to kill them and mr sunshine doesnt die unless you chop off his head with a mechete

***** Go to the police station and listen to all of Troys police tapes. You'll then get a call from him where he asks you to meet him at the church. Besides that, there's an entire DLC dedicated to him unless it was never released for the PC version.

[@NewOrderOfAlexandria]

Saints Row went from being a more satirical but still serious GTA with gang customisation and then 3 came along and turned into SR into a kids game pretending to be an 18+ crime game

[@SnipingIsFun]

Saints Row 4 should have been about going after Dex but it wasn't. I think Saints Row 5 might deal with time travel or something (saving the earth, preventing past Saints from dieing, maybe going after Dex if he didn't die on the Earth when it exploded). Saints Row 3, unlike what most people say, wasn't totally crazy or totally out of the story. I am sure after Saints Row 2 they were looking for Dex but couldn't find him, and somehow along the way got very popular (and you notice in 3 that it went to their heads, but by the end they changed at least in some way). The whole point of SR3 was the the Saints were thrown off by the Syndicate being involved, it wasn't that they didn't still have their own missions they wanted to do but that this group got in there way and they had to finish it. So I feel SR3 was a good continuation in as it was the Saints being side-tracked. As fun as Saints Row 4 is THAT really messed a lot of things up.

[@EllRiver]

the lead desinger of saints row now hated the drama in saints row 2. and thought Saints row sould be a wacky fun time game. But hopefully we will get a new director.

no they became actors selling merchandise and they made johnny gat too fucking bad ass and powerfull and he was legendery in sr2 and 1 he fucking whent dark when aiesha died and now its like he doesnt give a fuck oh and sr3 you were really cocky and annoying it felt like you became dane vogel but a bigger bitch the gangs were not realistic what gang has a shit load of cyber goths shooting you with cyber wepons and mexican wrestlers with rpgs ang miniguns or a bunch of guys in suits well thats ok but wait the females look like they are from sin city oh and fucking stag a military that is 100000 times better than ultor but was never mentioned sr3 sucks and sr4 is basicly a game for people who want to see men in thongs and girls in g-strings

I think it was a shock that dex became a villain in the first place he’s got the right attributes to be one, however from who he was in sr1, it was quite a drastic change to then becoming a villain

[@Rider-xv5jq]

As someone who bought all the dlc’s I personally can say I’m disappointed but looking back the never was to much when it came to fighting ex Saints members yeah u defeated Julius but it was in a cut scene and he was helping u the whole time and u stopped him in a cutscene it was no different then holding him hostage the whole time till u didn’t need him the cutscene was satisfying at least but I feel it should at least had been a fight dex was more annoying however u actually had to pay money for nothing u get to technically speaking the only vengeance is in the gat out of hell and even then it’s just his voice actor and his purple hat put onto a ghoul creature

[@gg4771]

Saints row 3 at the first mission a cop says Troy won't help you now if you listen carefully so something happened to Troy

[@shaywashington5755]

They said “Troy can’t bail you out of this one.” It’s pretty much saying that all the illegal things they have been doing from the events of 2 and it’s ending, leading up to 3, Troy has been covering it up and getting them out of trouble by using his role as Chief of Police. The Boss also says that they paid up, which implies they’ve been paying off the authorities to continue doing the things they do. I don’t really think anything happened to Troy besides taking the heat for the things the Saints do and getting them out of trouble. It probably just got to the point where it was out of his hands but you never know.

In my follow up video to this, it's explained that SR2 was mostly a fluke and wasn't suppose to happen the way it did. That's why everything feels a bit vauge. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gISYpWeepa2YaZY

[@yvngdende]

*****I believe it to be the best game in the series due to more things than just the story. The gameplay, customization, easter eggs, characters, city, and multiplayer (to a certain extent) were all awesome. While the story is a fluke, the campaign is still awesome! The result of the fluke was the badass encounter with Julius in the secret mission, the most dramatic moment in all of the series, at least in my opinion.

[@willbaker6532]

2:45 that argument never made sense to me. The dlc is showing the creation of the partnership between the saints and ultor which is what makes them who they are in SR3. Without this dlc it makes no sense how the saints went from killing everyone at ultor to being their business partners

[@DarkSlimeGod]

This is how I view the whole Dex thing. Okay so, Saints Row 2, yes it makes sense for the boss to be upset and to be this psychopathic considering his last minutes awake was met with an explosion to the face. Everything the boss does is more often then not out of rage. Out of rage that his crew/friends betrayed him, that Stilwater became under gang warfare by three (arguably) worse gangs. So the boss lets that rage and anger that's been years in the making fly on everyone that crosses him. He doesn't stop until that last bullet goes deep into Julius's skull. Hold on, Dex escapes. We're going to go after him right? By this point the boss finally starts to calm down. Stilwater is back in the hands of the Saints, Vogel is dead, and his former boss is now whistling a tune through the hole in his head. There's no point to go after Dex anymore, so the boss lets him go in what I like to think is his first act of mercy, before Matt Miller. Then over the years the Saints make a name for themselves with the help of Ultor, and over those years the boss becomes more lighthearted because he doesn't need to be angry. The Boss doesn't need to kill Dex, he got back the city he loved, and made the Saints bigger than if Julius was still running it. The Saints are huge celebrities by the time SR3 comes into the timeline, what could Dex possibly do to harm them anymore? It was a way of saying "I don't need you in my life anymore. I've become more successful by letting you go then to spend my time chasing you down." So the boss lets Dex go, he leaves the past behind him because it has nothing to do with what's happening in his life now. That's how I've always seen it at least.

[@InternetMouse]

Wow, that's some deep shit. Even I didn't realise that happened during the storyline.

[@libertyenterprises8934]

DarkSlimeGod this just changed my entire outlook on the series,and kinda made me like Sr3 a bit more*Even though it's still a bad game* but your point still stands that the boss is more light-hearted then,even when robbing the bank they seem more non schalant rather than being in the crowds face like most robbers do.

[@Machete87]

Wow. U might have a valid point. I never really thought of it like that.

[@diamondinthesky4771]

They do say indifference is the true opposite of hatred.... The Boss hates Dex so much, they're just indifferent to him.

[@Eightsixseven23224]

This actually could have been an intresting theme of saints row 3 and I think they tried to do something similar but never developed on it. The death of Johnny could have lead the boss to reflect on some of his last words "we traded our dicks in for pussies" The boss could be begin to think about he they let their idenity be sold out and what it had done to them and their gangbanging within steelport could have been his return to being the mad dog asshole. It could go more meta then this, with the rise of ultra polorized media The boss and the rest of the gang could begin to wonder if it's really possible to not be exploited even if inadvertitly by orginizations like stag to push some facist police state. But no, you beat red guy with veiny dildo because lol.

I love all four titles of the saints row series. and I've been a saint veteran sense 2006 (when saints row came out). and yes I am also one of those people, that wants to know... what the fuck happened to Dex? now two things are mostly to happen for saints row 5... Either the saints leave the Earth as rubble in space, and become Galactic conquerors. or the hint at the end of SR4 will make them go time traveling. now if they go back in time. there is where we fans. might get our closure. because it would be like having a second chance. and honestly both ideas for SR5 sound awesome to me. either taking over Planets and solar systems... or tag teaming with you're past self. to stop what happened, and finally get Dex. either way. saints row 5 is destined to be fucking awesome. wither it's a closure... or just more random bullshit fun. now. you can be a butt hurt loser about how saints row has gone form a GTA skin. to it's own fucking thing. or you can except that. the saints is a fun game. and just get over it. I honestly Love saints row from 1-4. and I can't play GTA the only GTA I've played and beat was Vice city... nothign else sense. I can't get into GTA after I played Saints row. saints row (even if it was just GTA sanedreas recolored and redesigned) it had WAY more flair, and fun aspects about it then GTA sanedreas had. the story was way better then sanedreas too. and honestly. I loved that game. Saints row 2 came out I creamed My pants. it was fucking awesome. Saints row 3 came out. I'll admit I was scepticle about it. but once I played it I quickly got over the fact that the old saints are dead. and I was fully inthrulled by Saints row 4. it was wacky, crazy, and fun as fucking hell, and I love it. also because of Saints row. I've found love for the color Purple. before I never really payed attention to purple. Now it's my favorite color.
