"can't be any worse than Gat out of Hell." oh that aged like milk
you have to be delusional to consider reboot worse than gooh
@@krab3531 you have to be smoking Walters white crystal blue to think that the reboot has any good in it at all. At least gat in the hell we got Johnny gat
@@krab3531 you have to be retarded to think the reboot has any redeeming characters. At least Gooh has Johnny Gat. Its worth playing for him alone. Who the fuck do you wanna play as in Saint's Woke - Fucking Kevin? Eli?
Yeah there's nothing worse than cringe superheroes matrix resurrection row 4
You know something's wrong when people are saying Gat Out of hell is better than saints row (2022)
Ahhh, Gat Out of Hell. There's a lot I can say about this game but I thought I should mention that Volition did not develop it. It was outsourced to High Voltage and apparently they slacked off so hard on this project, the publisher nearly had to enforce legal action to get them working.
Sheesh, that explains a few things.
Woah what's up mrsaintsgodzilla21 neat seeing you here. It's so odd seeing youtubers I know in the comments. It's like "(Ghasp) he walks among the common mortals"
@@christiankallio8586 because he is when he turns his cam off and stop streaming
Damn, no wonder i felt bored after playing this game.
This seems to be the case with so many developers nowadays. Once upon a time, crunch meant the corporation imposing unrealistic standards and slave-driving the devs to produce a game. Nowadays, crunch seems to be "Oh shit, the release date is upcoming and we've spent the past five years doing nothing but tweeting about how cool we are! Better try to bang out a game in two months!"
when you think "GooH was the final nail in the coffin"
the reboot just shows up with a nailgun and quadruples the amount of nails in that coffin singlehandedly
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.
Parents this is a public service announcement; this is what happens when you don't pull your kids away from the Barney kids show in time.
now that you said Satan sings I need to get GOH right now
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
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!
Far Cry Blood Dragon is the best game in that franchise. Sometimes the weird one-off side games are the best.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Me too, I enjoyed the wing-based minigames, but not the repetetive weapon combat......
Sometimes people just suck at the game and it affects their review of it
Minigames are good fun when they are optional but making them mandatory just makes them tedious.
The fraternity game really was 10/10.... The rest can burn in hell.... PUN!
Yeah, I had fun smacking the pledges, but most of the other minigames sucked more than Linda Lovelace in Deep Throat.
you will hate saints row 3 then
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.
Too bad this guy is bad at games
first thing i looked for when i played the game was 'invert flying vertical', turned it on and didn't have a problem with wings my entire playthrough
What do u mean endgame gam end in 2 hour
That's cool
"cant be any worse than Gat out of hell" ..... YEAH ABOUT THAT
for real, would take another Gat spin off than what we just got...
Seriously I'd rather spend $60 on Gat: Suck Him Off: Press A to Suck, B to Lick, X to Bob and Y Not to Gag than... Saints Row 2022
The whole gat schtick got old after 2 anyway
It think this DLC would have been better if it was Gat that got captured and the player was getting “Gat out of hell” like the title says.
It would also make sense in universe as Gat is meant to be the biggest Badass.
when i first heard about this game i thought that was the story
Actually Gat isn't for "Get". It's from the popular phrase "Like a bat out of hell" which is usually used to explain something chaotic and wild, two words Gat embodies. In terms of naming I think it's fair to say they were on point
@@somelonelyshmuck4274 it’s fine, it’s just one of the many contradictions these “fans” bitched about when it came to this game, ruined the series yet there’s literally a brand new redux of the first game coming. I don’t understand why people like this shitty content creator talk when there’s nothing to say. Just need to whine about something for views
yeah, but I'm guessing they thought that having to save Johnny again would've been very repetitive, considering half of the base game saints row 4 was about rescuing old friends. though that is definitely a better idea
@@somelonelyshmuck4274 no, it implies ' Gat, coming out of hell'
Personally I like 3 & 4
It felt like thier identity was crazy shit
Gat out of he'll was fun in its own way
My fav is the third. I think it's the perfect combination of insanity, ironic humor and great characters.
@@bogdansivitski8099 while i agree that 3 was fun and funny i feel like it was just emulating what made the others good, the villain's had basically no backstory or motivation and we never really interacted with them other than killing or recruiting them, in 1 and 2 there were cutscenes explaining their motivations and giving them character, now they are just either evil or goofy.
@@skiesthatroar5402 3 wasn't emulating anything. 2 was still emulating GTA. The Third is where it became it's own game.
@@UnitSe7en What i meant by emulating was that it just took a surface level look at what made the first two great then applied that to the whole of 3 without realizing that the infrequency of the crazy weird stuff was what made it memorable. If every character was a chicken ned then they wouldn't be very interesting, like how a guitar solo is good in a song but if that went on for 6 whole minutes and nothing else it would suck.
Same bro. Saints Row 1 and 2 just feel like really generic GTA clones. The third game made it an actual game.
I had so much fun playing saints row 4. It was just wacky and insane and felt like a stereotype “videogame”. I get some people dont like it but for me that game was really fun and quirky
If it wasn't a saints row game it'd probably be loved like the infamous games. On its own it's a good game, but it shouldn't have been a saints row game
i recently finished it, i have like mixed feelings about it, on one hand is a pretty fun game and i really don't care about the change in tone that came with saint row 3, i think it helped the game a lot to stand out but on the other hand saint row 4 re used so much assets that it actually felt more like a DLC
This game was released for $20 new. It was known at release to be like a dlc you could get on disk!. I loved saints row 4 and this was essentially a spin off expansion. Yeah it wasn't the greatest but it was a fun 10 hours DLC.
the fact that there's ONE single radio station for me is just painful, i just love hanging around the city listening my favourite music in Saints Row games, so that was one of the worst things of this game for me. Great video as always Alex! your editing is always very funny
well to be fair you are in hell
Man, you are in hell, everything is a torture there
@@gabrielluzia2745 even the game itself
@@gabrielluzia2745 Doom would beg to differ.
Of course hell only has one music station and it's not good music. It's hell.
This game has by far the best flying I've ever saw in games imo
@@MadWatcher I've played at least 70 different pc games and at least 9 of them had somewhat of a flying mechanic (Prototype 1-2, Batman Arkham series, SR IV, Just Cause 2-3) In _most_ of this games you not actually flying, you slowly gliding forward and occasionally give yourself a boost while in Gat out of Hell you can actually *fly* looong distances and do a sick moves in air.
@@M1X41I gliding with boosts is... technically flying
@@M1X41I Every 3d gta since San Andreas had good flying, SR2 wasn't bad, just cause 2 was fun too
@@johnsteves9158 Well yeah but I ment flying in context of super powers or some gadgets that allow you to kinda fly, like wingsuit in Just Cause. And I enjoyed SR2 and Just cause 2 aswell, I just think that Gat out of hell gives you the best flying superpower so far if you get used to it. But yeah I had to make myself clearer before.
@@M1X41I how can you miss Superman 64? this game has so much better flying
The "Destroyed the Series" angle really hasn't aged well, what with the absolute shit pile that Volition just released. Gat out of Hell looks like fucking Ocarina of Time compared to that unpolished turd.
“SIX MONTHS! IN SIX MONTHS YOU’LL WISH YOU HAD ME BACK!”
What’s your problem with the wings? They’re really not that hard to use and are quite fun when you get good at them.
My favourite part of the game
I start a new game just to fly around and collect orbs. It's so chill.
@@Afro_shinigami same, loved the wings
Did you play mouse or pad?

Honestly I feel like one aspect I never really see people talk about is the art direction. Seriously that's one aspect I absolutely loved about the game. I tend to like the Occult and demonic look.
I agree. The artwork of Hell was realky nice, and really added to the enviroment.
Yeah.
But Doom exists....
@@shuruff904 True. If I had a nickel for everytime I played a game with a demonic hell look I'd have 5 nickels which is weird because it isn't a whole lot.

huh maybe the reason no one talks about the art design is because it isn't really that unique.
@@Sodiumman123 Dude nobody cares about the other doom games except the first one, doom 2016, and doom eternal and Devil May Cry get out your high horse man
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.
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?
The only thing I hate about the game is that there is barely any good dialogue or banter like come on I wanna hear the saints banter in hell not this old.dude speaking about how much he loves money
As boring and bland as this game is
I *STRONGLY* disagree with the wings. I think the controls for the wings are great, they work really well and navigating with them is nice
I thought they sucked at first but only because inverted controls were enabled by default once that's changed it does work pretty well
I think he fails to express the fact this games pretty much always been like under 30 dollars, australian dollar that is so around 20 usd, even cheaper now I think, but pretty sure it came out around that price, I think its kinda unfair to compare this to ANY full fledged game, I always saw this "game" as an expansion to sr4, not to stand on its own 2 feet but a lil extra sr4 style content
@@MadWatcher that's not my point
@@MadWatcher it DOES mean it’s cheap
@@nauticalerror You're right in that it's not fair to compare it to a full game, buts it's more than fair to compare it to other SR series instalments and SR4 in particular, because you're basically just paying for a cut up version of 4 with some tweaks, flying and more jank.
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.
@@jimbob1862 That's exactly what I'm talking about dude, why compare it to other Sr games or any others that are full titles? How are you agreeing and also not agreeing simultaneously? I'm not sure you understood my first point my dude...
For anyone else who thinks I'm defending this dlc in any way let me say this, I meant in my comment that this should not be treated as a shitty game but as a shitty cheap dlc and should be treated as such, in other words I know what it is, please don't assume I was defending this dlc
I think in a way it would’ve been hilarious to see a game like this where instead of Gat being resurrected you had to go through a ridiculous hectic hell adventure of utter chaos as you fight your way out and forcibly pull yourself back out of the hell, in the process splitting the timeline in two, in one universe it keeps getting progressively more crazy and in the other it goes back to a more serious timeline starting where 2 left off.
We got the second timeline, it sucked ass
@@urielpuertas9899 no it clearly was the first timeline trying to soft reset itself
The game was STILL more fun then (2022)..
You can cry all you want how it destroyed the series but humor gameplay and even setting clear 2022.

@@roxxom5552 like always
so you loved flying through rings, sure.
I came late to Saints 4, and when it was done started to play this one right away, so that may have tainted my opinion. But I really liked it. I found the wings impossible for a long time, like you seemed to, but watching a brief video to figure out how to earn an achievement made me realize that I hadn't understood how flight worked, and suddenly it clicked, and flying was fun as hell. And I genuinely enjoyed gliding around the map collecting spheres.
I still have a love for Saints 2 despite the datedness. The amount of variety in weapons, vehicles and character customization was unmatched. I remember my obese, pigtailed, starnippled merman character with thick rimmed glasses fondly.
To be honest, it wasn't that game that killed the franchise. Bloody THQ going bankrupt trying to get the wacky and edgy teens to buy it to save itself which didn't to be honest.
I’m surprised that more people don’t realize this. Saint row 4 was a MASSIVE step down from 3 imo.

I know the flying is poorly introduced but once you get the hang of it it's pretty awesome. I actually want another game with that flight system in it, it just felt so good to use.
GOOH shot the series in the face which the body was already bleeding to death, the new game raped the corpse
Alex webb:I chose the correct ending and retconed the entire series.(shows the reboot as new cannon)
Saints row fans:YOU WHAT?!
I adore sr4. Sr3 split the fanbase between old fans of the first 2 and the newcomers who liked 3. Instead of appealing to one they reinvented it again and wiped their ass with everything that came before. I loved it. I love all 4 games and i always will
Side note, i think the criticism towards where sr4 left the series is a bit flawed. Volition made a public statement at the launch of sr4 that it would be the last of this iteration of the franchise. The boss' story was never meant to continue past the sr4 story and expansions and it's better for that reason.
They should have ended the series with the playa waking up from his coma at the beginning of saints row 2 and retcon .
Once the wings were upgraded, I actually really enjoyed flying around. I certainly enjoyed it more than gliding in 4.

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

Tbh 3 and 4 were my favorite. We dont get many games that go so over the top as they did
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.
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. 👌
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.
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.
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.
@@dangerszewski9816 Yes absolutely! I can agree with everything you wrote here! (Yes I meant SR3 and SR4 with "last two" [Major Releases])
Ironically enough the flying was the most fun part of this game for me and was the first thing I maxed out
Dude you are too funny where u come up with this 😂😂 Subbed
Saints 3 was a masterpiece. The only real problem I had with 4 was the powers made cars and car customization irrelevant. I like GTA, but I appreciate that Saints Row was so different, but with a similar base.
nah i still b gassing when i play 4 some of the cars hard
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah right.
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.
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.
"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.
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.

YOU CAN INVERT THE WINGS VERTICALLY, this makes the flying very natural and easy, did this the second you get given the wings and thoroughly enjoyed all parts of the game that involved flying.

I think every game after saints row 2 kinda hurt the series. Saints row 1 & 2 were loved because they really focused on the gang aspect, they had many features that are now used in GTA. Nobody who played saints row ever said “we want aliens and super powers”
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."
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)
Agree 100%
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.
@@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.
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.
I found the flying the most fun in this game, I haven't made a lot of progress because the flying is more fun than the rest of the game.
The wings were amazing, I used to speed fly all over the place
I'd have thought Agents of Mayhem REALLY killed the franchise, a game so bad they took the Saints Row name OFF of it!

when you were just falling to the ground after being hit by the missle i expected the clip from spider man 2 where spiderman falls after his web fails lol
Just suddenly Toby landing on the cars
Gat out of hell was a very fun, sometimes glitchy game on my Xbox 360. The musical numbers were memorable and the flying controls were cool and surprisingly good. I got to shot the devil with some bees.
As the very first saints row game I ever played I have to respectfully disagree. You get to kill demons with the powers with the powers of an angel. Who wouldn't want that?
And the wings work fine, either you suck at flying or you need to uninvert the flying controls..
Saints Row 2022: " Am I a joke to you? "
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.
Can't wait for your review on wwe2k22!!
Probably have to wait a few months for the video to come out since it's came out last week
Genuinely one of the most entertaining new channels I've seen kicking around here, nice work mate! If you're ever up near ABZ doing the funny grapple thing, would love to see you get manhandled
Your editing is _crazy good!_ insane video 👏
I had SR IV + Gat Out of Hell on ps4 and I definitely remember feeling disappointed with Gat after playing IV. The gameplay loop got really boring and the world was so ugly to look at, I felt obligated to finish it cuz Gat was such a cool character but I recommend anybody else just *watch the cutscenes on CZcams*
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.
Is it just me that kinda liked gat out of hell
I don't know why, but that clip with Nathan Fillion at 11:51 always gets me 😂😂
man the editing is hilarious. subbed
I played this game on PC and I still have it on my laptop the flying is really easy on mouse and keyboard. The story however is too short for my liking I really liked the art design of this game. I agree with the statement that this game gets repetitive fast but although that is a bad thing for most players it doesnt bother me that much. still completed it 100%.
Bro how do come up with these ideas for video editing🤣 I always laugh my ass off
I dare to argue that the flying was one of the best in any open world game to date and it's just a fault of skill that you struggled with it.
Was it you I saw at Disco wrestling last month? Are you going to be at the Friday event?
This game legit should've been a 60 dollar title full story game, I absolutely loved this game anyway, i loved the weapons, the vehicles and the powers and sandbox world
I haven't played it, but I don't think it would be good for a game like that to cost that much. I would probably enjoy the game myself, as I thought Saints Row 4 was really fun.
Ain't no one with a brain and a ounce of common sense paying 60 dollars for this fuk'n game.
Wtf
This game is worth 15-20$ at most

Dude your community here in the comments are just a great bunch of people bro. So much support for you man, goes to show that we all LOVE ❤ your vids. Even though your video uploads aren't as consistent as other content creators, as soon as one of your vids come up, you never disappoint 👏 👌 and you leave us wanting more.
😉👍
I’m very grateful that you mention angry grandpa from the beginning of the video
I hated the fact that this "expansion" cost more than the other games but had less than half the content
Gat out of hell is amazing and a unique game. It's a musical, there's nothing else like it.
Id rather play gat out of hell than the reboot
Saints Row The Third is what destroyed the series. Everything after that was another straw landing on the camel's back.
The Saints Row series is really just "pick which games you like and slander the others". Tbh just like whatever games you like from the series. The Third is personally my favorite.
2 is the best
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.
so this was the reason saint rows name was just disappeared from all over the net
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.
