Former SR4 haters after SR reboot: "Perhaps we have treated you too harshly."
SR4: You could not live with your own failure, and where did that bring you? Back to me
They both suck
SR reboot is worthy, SR4 still sucking. This is coming from someone who has played them all.
@@danielbold6167 something is wrong with you.
@@CertifiedAbyssGazer Noted, bud.
Can i admit something? I actually like Saints Row 4
For the love of God stop replying to this comment I beg you
@Saraph yeah
same tbh
I’ll never understand the hate. Ever. It seemed like the perfect transitional step from SR1’s po-faced seriousness to 3’s gradual silliness.
It didn’t give a fuck. It was a sandbox with all the cheats enabled because the devs knew they’re the most fun part of a sandbox. It made the game stand out in a crowded genre and I admired how audacious it was.
I played most of the game in co-op mode. Was a lot of fun
Same. I still play it time to time when im bored.
This didn’t age well. This game definitely didn’t ruin the series.
It definitely did. And has been ruined since 3, te reboot is just beating a dead horse
@@swagvegito2592 3 ruined, 4 revived it a bit, gat out of hell ruined it again
@@swagvegito2592 I think 3 ruined the franchise more then 4. Since 4 is a better continuation of 3
@@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012 We could easily pass off Saints Row 4 GOH as a rejected comic book series script written by Matt Miller and Pierce Washington.
Saints Row 3 was alright, just too over the top made it boring.
I don't think 4 ruined the series, but it definitely jumped the shark.
Gat Outta Hell ruined the series. And what I'm hearing, the reboot just might have killed the franchise.
third on ruined it, 4th one is actually good
sheesh i had a complete blast playing saints row 2 3 and 4 but gat out of hell NAW saints row reboot is kinda good but not good at the same time
@@BigSmoke-qu6it SR Reboot is just okay. Not nearly as bad as everyone tries to says it is but not amazing… definitely don’t think it killed the franchise
@@playboikash8641 please tell me why sr3 has better gameplay and storyline and villain, i know the first thing you'd say is because it doesnt have aliens, but that has nothing to do with how the game is played or how better written the story is so please tell me
Nah the 4th one still did…
I think the REAL reason why the series was ruined is because of the people saying it was a "GTA RIPOFF" and volition listen to them.
Yeah. Saints Row is it's own thing and shouldn't care so much about GTA. Saints Row 3 may have been GTA's biggest competition at the time, and it's a shame that the series after that kinda stopped..
The first one was most definitely a GTA clone. The others are fine. 3 is just plain bad, not funny, not entertaining to play, nothing. 4 refined what 3 was trying to do.
@@DragoonCenten I'm inclined to disagree. Everyone has something in GTA type of games for them. For me it's vehicles and traversing the map during playthrough. While I favor SR2 over every other game in the series, I absolutely HATED 4 after 3 for how superpower mechanicss literally rendered vehicles useless. They could have just made them unusable alltogether of left like 4 of them for scenery akin to Gat Out of Hell. Could have just called the game Prototype 3 or something.
@@sorokabeloboka8818Bruh you play a game about shooting and blowing shit up for cars? If they got rid of vehicles altogether that still would have been a complaint from guys like you so there is no way to win, even if vehicles are obsolete because of super speed they still have some interesting ones, you could really just use them if you wanted to. I know when I got bored I started driving.
Visible AIDS being an open world crime game doesn’t make it a GTA clone. It did a lot of shit before gta did and make it better
I know that SR4 gets a lot of shit, and I’m not expecting any different here, but I can’t lie when I say that I adore the absolutely INSANE acid trip that is this fucking game
Terrible saints row game, but still a great game. If they released this as non canon i think it would be more popular
@@TheLoverOfYourMother1 Or a DLC of The Third
Honestly, would've been better if they released as a spin-off like gangsters in space or something like that.
@@doctordecipher7912 I used to contend that, but after watching this, I can see why people feel that way. 2 and 3 were pretty good at staying grounded while being absolutely insane, although I’d say 3 was more on the trippy side.
I am the same way. I can acknowledge a lot of the problems with the game, but I would be lying if I said that I don't like the game.
After playing the new saints row game, I've officially grown to appreciate saints row four including Gat out of hell. They may be ridiculous and over the top and they may seem like they "ruined" the series in a certain way but at least they're playable, interesting, really fun, and not full of annoying bugs, from what I've experienced. I love every saints row game now excluding the new one which deserves to be deleted 💀
Thing is, if it wasn't for Saints Row 4 going so overboard, we wouldn't have had a need for a reboot. SR4 broke what little meaning the SR universe had preventing any further progression. Hence the reboot.
Edit: Only thing I think they couldve done was probably pull the whole, "it was all dream" script.
@@Athasin There's no fucking way SR4 had anything to do with the game we got now, The last saints game before this one could have been a 10/10 masterpiece gangster crime drama and this game would have still turned out the way it did.
Their tonal shift proves that, they want a sanitized, non-offensive, how-do-you-do fellow gen Z'er hipster latte drinking characters with piss-poor developmental skill that hasn't aged since 2012, and in some ways gotten worse.
Sociopolitical climate has drastically changed in the last 10 years, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this same thing happens to GTA6
@@fallis07 "The last saints game before this one could have been a 10/10 masterpiece gangster crime drama and this game would have still turned out the way it did."
If the last game was a 10/10 gangster masterpiece there would have been no need for a reboot. So no, this game wouldn't have turned out the way it did if SR4 hadn't been what it was.
@@Athasin Just because there would have been no need for a reboot if that happened doesnt mean there still wouldn't have been one. It's clear the current devs for the game are ashamed by the tone of the series from before, and wanted to do their liberal gangster fantasy game. You clearly arent plugged in enough if you think a lack of success is what caused this thematic turn.
Also you dont need to quote my entire message when you directly @ reply to my msg right after.
@@Athasin They could have done time travel and started with some Terminator references while rebooting the series to change how things turned out, possibly fucking up the timeline. What would happen if you saved Lin and she got with Donnie? What would happen if you saved Carlos and watched him grow? Saving Aisha and seeing her with Johhny. Saving Kiki and having both the twins by your side? There is so much they could have done. Not that it would have been a masterpiece, but hell the new game shows how little creativity they have. They wanted to make a new game and then used Saints row as a skin, end of story. Also, do keep in mind the new game was made by a mostly new team. With the secret ending they left a lot on the table and did not need a full reboot, if we can even call it that.
now that the latest SR got released, I think pretty much everyone can all agree now SR4 is greatly underrated.
The fourth game was intended to be a dlc? That actually makes a lot of sense.
Had S4 been just a DLC, I think the sense of power progression would have been better.
It definitely overstayed it's welcome. I had a ton of fun with it until I realized it was beginning to drag on and I wanted it to end.
Yes it makes sense. I always said when Saints Row 4 were a Dlc or a game with a different title it would be a perfect game.
I believe the DLC is the spin-off mission Enter the Dominatrix. The game itself was a developed idea from that DLC.
@The angel born in hell..Gogeta Keywords: From time to time.
When the game is about doing stuff 100% of the time, you quickly get burned out.
There's a mission where you play the dlc to be in sr IV it was pretty cool honestly, game didn't save though and lost 4 hrs of playtime
SR2 and SR4 are my favorites personally, as they represent the extremes of the series. 2 is the grittiest and most genuinely badass game of the franchise, and 4 is generally just one of the most batshit insane games ever made, which I actually really appreciate. Excellent editing here though, for real! Dope video!
I can definitely see the appeal in the absolute pure insanity of 4 but for me it just drags after a while. Cheers man really appreciate it, been a fan of your content ever since your original dying light video!
@@AlexWebb101 HEY thanks man that's crazy to hear! Your DL video just got suggested to me a moment ago, on my way to check it out now! Side note, that new DL2 gameplay's looking _tasty_
I share a very similar view of the series. 2 is still my favorite sandbox of all time because of how alive everything feels, 4 is a great game to just fuck around in though.
Same
I fucking love the both of you so much
fun fact: the whole "time travel" thing he just glossed over, it's the canon ending. the saints *literally* went through time and stole a bunch of shit and fucked with a bunch of historical events.
Yeah. Why I take what he says with a grain of salt. His bias is very clear
compared to the new game this one was a fucking masterpiece
Even though I love this game, mainly because it's my first Saints Row game, I kinda understand why some wouldn't. Maybe not fully, but I respect those who don't agree with the direction this game went; especially from the first two in the series.
No it isn’t
Ironically enough, GTA's now taking heat for emulating both Saints Row's zaniness and the fantastic super-criminal-slash-spy caper premise of Fast & Furious.
Primarily for GTA Online, not within GTA 5's campaign.
@@nybxcrotona Since San Andreas GTA has been filled with fast n furious references. It’s GTA, fools.
@@Iberny3
Sure but we never had cars with parachutes or speed racer cars or the batmobile. Makes you wonder what they are gonna do in the next gta if they even do it. Keep all the fantastical bull shit or cut it out and have a normal campaign and a crazy ass online?
@@nybxcrotona the campaign is irrelevant Since gta online is cuckstar cash cow
@@Kuru20134 How is it irrelevant?
The later heists, vehicles, and missions is what made GTA Online look like Saints Row. That complaint doesn't exist for 5, nor did it ever for 4 and its DLCs.
Yes it's the cash cow, but you don't see the main campaign for GTA games go that route that Saint's Row did. Heck, even RDR2 is incredibly toned down.
The thing that actually improved my time with the game was making the main character look like Duke Nukem.
Made fighting aliens seem feel right.
Endless pop culture references, yep Duke.
And it was still better than Duke Nukem Forever.
Making senator armstrong is also fun considering the super powers
I really enjoyed the character creator. That is, when my entire wardrobe wasn't glitching out of existence lol.
Okay I think I knew where duke deuce got his album name from
@@n0zo.143 nanomachines son!
SR4 was so much fun, I really don't understand the hate it gets. People act like SR2 was a super serious game, but it was plenty goofy and over the top, not as much as 4 obviously but it wasn't a serious game. I enjoyed both of them for what they were.
I don't know, I guess making my character look like Miku Hatsune, flying around the city while listening to EDM and using the dubstep gun on everything in my path was pure fun for me.
Just finished SR4 and I must say it took a while to get into it but it's now one of my favourite games. It's like GTA meets Prototype. Brilliant
I ended up playing the games sort of back to front, so played 3 &4 first then eventually beat the first two last year for the first time.
I can now see the progression they made and playing the original SR games highlighted the innocence of the series before SR3 took things into the mainstream.
Just started playing with the 4th and found it hilarious. I was curious of how the previous games were about and was surprised by how serious they were
1 & 2 in my book are by far the best in my opinion
Saints row 1&2&3 is more actual gangsta games, 4 and gat out of hell is superhero games and very good games, i was unsure before i play the 4 but i loved it.
3 gets pretty out there, like zombies
@@Yeshua_is-Cool but are they worth in 2022? I played SR3 as a kid and man I want more from the saints, but SR4 and fat outta hell just seem so far out with all these goofy power ups.
@@xx4u2fearxx89 1 &2 are still good 👍 it has a certain feeling in it that I can't get anywhere else they are a product of there time though the first one has a silent protagonist that you can customize to your liken the layered clothing at first confused me but the amount of options and colors of clothing can make it unique same with too on clothing plus more options there's voice acting for the main protagonist and everyone mentions it in one way or another they were gonna let you bring your guy from the first one over like mass effect but they had to scrap it because of the new engine they used and they made jokes about it asking if he had a haircut there's alot to do in both of these games with activities gang hangouts shit ton of unlocks pimp cane is always fun you should definitely play the first two if you liked 3 Hopefully this helps you decide plus there backwards compatible on Xbox
The fact that you used a car at all after the intro makes this even funnier because you can listen to the radio without the car at anytime playing the game.
I didn't find out until about a year after having the game they updated customization for the vehicles as they were so pointless to use
@@princessnovainacottage3326 true but I still used the shit out of that bar stall car thing
@@princessnovainacottage3326 if you can still do the “customize any vehicle “ glitch then it’s worth while because of the possibilities
...how can you hate this game?
It is ART
some people hate fun, if they were in charge they would have made a game just as bad as the reboot but with a story closer to gta iv
Not gangster enuff
@@agarrandoviaje5425 if the President of the United States with superpowers taking over a matrix world run by aliens isn’t gangster enough, nothing is.
It's not gangsta anymore, but 4 is better (written&comedy) compare 3 and also 3 poorly optimized

No, Saints Row 4 was definitely the game that ruined the series. The reboot is just a continuation of it being ruined
@@americanmetalhead7318 I'm still being cautiously optimistic, but hearing it's an epic exclusive, I won't be getting it until 2023 at least... unless it's on gamepass.
@@Emanouche it needs not but ok. Just because someone decided to make a reboot (cuz they most certainly can't invent and add anything new anymore after sr4, it was peak and they were pushing the limits of their imagination while making SR4 to stand out. So they just decided to push a hard reset button and make another generic boring game about gang wars for respect and territory where you have to become the best #1 gang of the city and to destroy all the other gangs and then "suddenly" one final enemy to destroy - cops/evil corpo/private military company which we certainly never seen in all sr1-sr3 games) doesn't mean it *needed* a reboot, lol.
Lol saints row reboot be like hold my beer 🤣🤣🤣
"This game is like a 15 hour acid trip."
I know, right!?..... Oh, you think that's a bad thing. Nah man, I dive right into that pool of insane and enjoyed every second.
Saints Row 4 is the only single player game that I can come back to and play all over again every few months. Saints row never had an award winning story. I just like the gameplay.
@@sleeplessomniman5204 same, it’s my favorite in the series cause it’s just so entertaining and fun. It’s an acid trip in the best way
@@sleeplessomniman5204 SR1 and SR2 did have a good story. Just because the newer games have bad stories doesnt mean it was always bad. The newer games just aren't about anything anymore. Its just random spoof, and thats the plot.
See, it’s a lot of fun. It just should’ve been something separate from Saints Row
Exactly! and that's what I love about it and why it's my favorite saints row game.
This video is a perfect example of how culture influences peoples perception.
SR4 is a fine and funny game meant to be laughed at my dude
saints 4 is dogshit ironic you say it should be laughed at because i couldn't imagine laughing at anything this game has to offer. cope
Played the game. Though I do agree that the super power does make the campaign so easy to achieve but I wish you can turn off power so I can play a regular person with no powers and also wish the police system were seperate into two, humans and zin alien race.
It's fun
@@user-ti6ix5tn2oI'm pretty sure there was a cheat code that did this in game

When i first played this game, i was like 8 and this game felt so fun to play. It was so goofy and full of colors which made me love this game when others didn’t
first, i think what makes saints row 4 special is that it’s just trying to be fun. we rarely get games that specifically focus on providing fun now. i love saints row 4. like i get it’s absolutely insaneeeeeeee but i find it glorious. i love that volition was like you know what. fuck it. saints row’s journey as a series has been evolving to a point where absolutely nobody could mistake it for gta and i feel like saints row 4 went the farthest to do that. as a result i adore it and the freewheeling fun
i agree with you we need more games that are fun not more GTA clones OR clones of well some game i may have an idea for a great apocalypse settlement building game thou
I think people missed the part where it was a jump into the same kind of superhero open world basically modernising the prototype and infamous genre when people wanted it to basically be more of the style of something like watchdogs or something
@@DW51380 No game should be the same as other games ,Saints row 4 gave the game some much deserved spice . all i wish for is an option to bring earth back or even to choose different companions that should have been abducted .But it was i very good game my game score is a whopping 8.5 out of ten so basically a great game . but otherwise i cant wait for saints row 5
Yes this is what morons say to defend SR4.
SR2 tried to be fun. SR4 tried to be whacky and failed because it was a lazy, derivative, vulgar and asinine piece of shit.
It was trash

Also, while it was as much of a shitshow on launch Agents of Mayhem has a much better design for a cyberpunk city. The graphics aren't realistic but the design is what a real futuristic city should look like. Volition even made sure you have a place to park your car wherever you stop, something I never cared about in open-world games with cars until I played CP2077.
@@zixx844 not a bad idea at all, but it wouldn’t fit as a saints row game.
Also the reason why SRIV was the last game, was cause it was supposed to be the last game. Agents of Mayhem was what Volition wanted to do, but that game sucked so they are now working on 5.
Yeah, I really don't get why Volition wanted to make Agents of Mayhem, it just felt like a shitty hero shooter and was basically a Saint's Row game in all but name, like what??!!
AOM had potential, but it was rushed and it had questionable marketing. Its a shame because I loved the idea behind it, but Volition just half-assed it.
They announced that they're working on a new saints row game like a year ago
SR3 & 4 Should've been called Agents of Mayhem and the Saints Row series should've continued the story of the first 2.
Volition shot themselves in the foot by splitting the fanbase of one series down the middle. The should've just made two seperate series in the first place, but they wanted to cash in on Saints Row's popularity.
@@TheHulk1850 AoM is the continuation of the earth brought back ending from "Gat out of Hell". I think they wanted to return to a less crazy type of game, since Saints Row 4 was so over the top that they probably just didn't know how to continue from there.

@@dominickurtzman6806 I think it got to the point where every mission seemed repeated got to admit I got bored
We don't hate the game we hate that they put this game in the same series as a Gang War based game. Infact 2 gang war based game. Hows it supposed to be a sequel when it turns absurdly to an entirely new direction. If you didn't begin with 1 then 2, I wouldn't expect any of you to understand. It's like making Star Wars and then having episode 6 aka the third release but it forgets about a rebellion and it just turns into a space adventure musical.
I and others do not care how good SR3 and SR4 was or if it was bad. We just want a real continuation. Not this facade. They did agents of mayhem, and it's been clear since then that they were moving like this. And the reason why many SR fans first buy the game is in hopes for it to be a good sequel, not just a "good game". We are here for the Saints Row shit, if they wanna make something else fine. Agents of mayhem or whatever else. But when we ask for a Saints Row game we want to pay for an actual Saints Row game. SR3 is the godamn seed of this. The studio began the Sci fi bs there with a hovering ship and laser weapons. A lot of us think thats cool, but at the same time we don't care. I really be enjoying the Kanye west song power for the trailer exited for something better than SR2, only to be dissapointed. The lack of effort to impress began there.
I can't even enjoy free roam like in stillwater. And most of the people like the new characters but I didn't feel the same way. The only thing about the characters was 2 hot twins and Shaundi changing to look hot.
If SR3, SR4 and the stuff after was under a different franchise. I garentee it would have not got the hate it did. And it would be enjoyed. But they slap a different design on an already existing design pulling a different crowd and dragging the old crowd. And for SR4 it's really just Crackdown in the Saints Row Universe. So if you like that you will enjoy Crackdown games. Gameplay wise I mean.
Like I said, if you weren't beginning from SR to SR2 then you won't get it. It's Call of Duty 1-Ghost then to Advance Warfare. Its Assassins Creed-Assassins Creed 4 to Assassins Creed Origins or whatever those games are.
It went from fun games with a clear purpose to the creation team clearly not having real ideas of a sequel. Atleast Assassins Creed did make an effort.
Sims be performing sequels better than Saints Row. Simply because they don't swap things around like SR series has been treated and slam a 3rd street saints logo on it.
Simply to put it. We want anything after SR the third under a different name. And make Saints Row 3. None of this bs of presidency, aliens, world blowing up, world being a simulation, techno weird blue gang that does some stupid fast ability, a stupid crackdown parody unless its just an activity, and the list goes on. Especially allowing us to upgrade guns but to take the upgrades off. Story mission replay to return, crib customization to be expanded not simplified, better gang warfare, and so on.
The whole idea to kill off Johnny gat but turns out he wasn't dead, was stupid. The idea to kill him off, is stupid. The fact they needed to run away from using stillwater as the game location is also stupid on their part. And idk who was responsible for those mistakes, but ik they should really just go make another franchise and not rip off Saints Row characters or style like Agents of Mayhem did. I liked playing SR3 and SR4, but I can acknowledge those 2 games and the original SR and SR2 are not alike when it comes to what games they are. Just the style of cutscenes, logo, guns and so on. Take those away, 2 are a funny gangster open city game. The other 2 are an action sci fi open city game with wacky elements and crazy cyberspace inspiration with a huge load of pop references.
Now some people may like it all, heck you might be one of them. But that just means you like it all and you care less about this stuff. Which I do not relate. And obviously others don't too. The developers failed to see that, and make us anxious for SR 5. It could be a good sequel and a good game. Or just a good game and a bad sequel. Simple as.
There you go.

Even despite the fact we fighting aliens in a simulation, SRIV is more of a proper Saints Row game then The Third. It focuses more on our beloved characters (where in The Third they were shit, including Boss), have better villains and better story and dialogues. than The Third and overall have that SR feel and atmosphere.
@@swagvegito2592 people like you remind me of people who complain that Mad Max movies aren't solely about Mad Max
You know what y’all maybe SR4 wasn’t so bad…
same mate I'm traumatized as well.
yep
"Perhaps I treated you too harshly"
SR4 was never bad, one of the most fun games Ive ever played, it also had better writing than SR3 and many great references, people who hated it is just a retarded elitist
@@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012 Yeah that’s just a joke. I’ve never hated SR4 and I actually played SR3/4 first then went to 1/2. Enjoyed all the games, I was just poking fun with this new reboot cause I was upset it didn’t have the og crew, but I’m over that now. Who knows, maybe the new SR will end up surprising everyone.
Well I think we can all agree that SR4 ain't so bad now after seeing the reboot.
No SR4 is very bad
Am I the only one one who doesn't get the hate for the reboot?
We have seen no gameplay yet.

Time to make another “ the game that ruined the franchise” video 🤣
The game isn't great story wise, BUT what they were able to do with the engine is pretty impressive as a cross gen title. A couple more months in the development oven would have been more than ideal for what is a game based on utter fun, absurdity and carnage.
Outside of the characters/story, the fun from previous Saints Row games are still in tact. Let's be real, the core game in itself is good, but its the execution and the release of a bug riddled product that attracted a h*tstorm of negativity. They are slowly getting fixed, but I still don't think the Series is dead. Far from it. Hopefully they learn from this and take community feedback on board.
Would be ideal if you were able to analyse the game on its own merits instead of following the crowd like a pathetic sheep.
@@cbgg1585 Even on its own the reboot is bad. Boring story without any stakes, characters that don't feel like gangsters, too much filler content and forced grinding and the game is far too easy.
Wow, I actually loved SR4. It was just a much different style of a game that I enjoyed.
Have you played the first 2 games? They went from street gangs which I liked,to selling energy drinks and shit,then to fighting aliens and being the president,then to fighting demons in hell. I just wish we could go back to where we started.

@@ajax3748 Jex - Where We Started
To anyone who doesn't know, Gat Out of Hell is canon. And the canon ending of it is retcon. So next game will be a reboot
that reboot was agents of mayhem as confirmed in game its the continuation, but the next game for sure will be a franchise reboot
hopefully they use time travel once then never again
maybe travel during SR2's time and city (or a bit before TT) or just reboot the entire series anew
Only way the next saints row game is going to be good is if its a complete remake of the original. Everyone keeps talking about the time traveling method but this would further ruin the series since that would mean saints row 3, 4 gat out of hell are still canon.
There is literally no other way to progress the series after the Earth has been destroyed and we've already gone to space and the after life. The series is dead so the only way to return fan interest would be to recapture the street feel of the earlier games; if you aren't willing to do that might as well just make a whole new franchise.
The series ended canonically with Saints Row the third. Saints Row 4 and Gat Out of Hell isn't canon. It's just absolute nonsense.
This didn’t age well.
This didn’t age well.
I’m gonna be the only one to say this but I actually enjoyed saints row 4, you can tell the developers had fun with it, some of the best music choices in video game history, memorable and badass moments, and it legitimately felt good to control the player. I believe people were too stuck on saints row being a more down to earth gta style crime game. I think if this game was released as something other than saints row with different characters, people would’ve loved it
These devs created this IP, made the deliberate choice to go with fun and over the top vs photorealistic and restrained gameplay all the way back in Saints Row 2 yet people were surprised that it ended up going full chaos mode. I'll never understand the backlash to this game, it was the only logical endpoint to the series that let you mercy kill Carlos in a fucking hotdog suit.
Saints Row 2 is the best in the series and one of the best crime sandbox games ever, but SR4 is the best Matrix game ever made and legitimately the second best in the series.
@@jackharrow7147 no worse than 3 and 1 but
@@jackharrow7147 it’s a good game just not a good SAINTS ROW game
I feel like everything you point at is what actually makes it great. It is supposed to just be fun and ridiculous. Saints Row has been just silly since 3 and 4 just leaned into that giving us arguably the best matrix game made.
It was silly snce the first one.
If you enjoy mindless hack n' slash games without any story or stakes, sure. If you're playing the game because you've enjoyed not only the nonsense from the first games, but the story and characters, it's pretty easy to understand why this game ended up being so underwhelming, and shouldn't be anything more than a DLC for the third game. Being a sequel kinda fucked up any possibility for another sequel.

@@nothingbutthetruth718 definitely not
Okay I'm going to be cautiously optimistic about the game has because they haven't shown us any gameplay and and if Saints Row 4 is lowest point of franchise maybe it has a reason to be rebooted
Good lord people can we atleast wait for maybe a demo before saying anything?
guessing all the remake stuff is why this popped into my reccomendeds.... and honestly... i am glad. glad to see this old game, and chuckling to myself thinking "wow.... really wish they kept thought process going in terms of insanity... maybe the new one might have been half decent then...."
SR4 was the first SR game that I ever played, I love it to this day lol
I myself actually enjoyed this installment of the saints row franchise. I did 2 playthrus that’s how much I enjoyed it.
To be honest while the fighting aliens things was enjoyable and fresh for a gta clone i thought this game was trash Taking away the ability too drive around was stupid why leave it in then give the player the ability too run at super speed personally if this game had been released as it’s own thing and not had the saints name splashed on it it would have been fantastic
The opening was fantastic however I really liked the punch the dickhead or punch a dick in the head and while it was the same thing the way it was worded was great
Same lmao
The super powers were implemented very well and was worth playing just for that!
@@FairAussie1 SR4 was my first game into the series so I never thought if felt like an extended dlc. Juts lots of stupid fun
I remember when Saints Row 3 was getting released. Some classmates were hype that they encouraged others to wear purple that day.
I didn't have a Purple shirt. So I wore my usual black tee. Anyways, they were so hype about it they skipped school middle of the day.
Aw man, that sounds like a Awsome time to be at school!
Hey dude! You came up in my recommendations and I’ve never been less disappointed. Your vids are awesome! You should totally do videos on the first 2 saints rows!
I really loved Saint's Row IV - it's the most hilarious game I've ever played and is also in my opinion one of the last modern games to embrace pure fun at the cost of realism (and not vice versa).
"No Eddie, you can't say the N-word!"
Damn, Raimi's Spidey sure were made in a different times.
Looking back at SR3, I genuinely have no clue why, out of all the characters, Oleg ends up getting completely overlooked by Zinyak despite the fact that the only reason Zinyack invaded Earth was to collect the strongest and brightest humans which are 2 categories that Oleg actually fits into. At least this was the case in SR3, where Oleg’s intelligence can sometimes match Kinzie’s in certain instances and is also practically immune to death itself whenever the game calls for it. However, in SR4, he and Josh Birk are just casually drinking beers at a bar right after witnessing an alien invasion (instead of trying to find out what the hell happened and where everyone who had been kidnapped was taken to, like SR3 Oleg would probably do) and also apparently didn’t have the phone number of, not only his own boss, but also the president of the United States whom he worked for as one of his bodyguards
If I recall, Oleg was called but it was drowned out by the music.
Too big to fit in those capsules idk.
Actually SR 3 and 4 weren't divisive in the slightest imo. They didn't divide the fanbase so much as created an entire annex if you will, of those people that want the batshit crazy over the top shooter. For instance I've never played SR 1 or 2, but I did hear that those were a lot more grounded and dealt with more or less believable gang warfare settings. Only I would've never touched them. There's GTA for that.
I did however snapbuy SR 3, 4 and yes, even GooH, BECAUSE they were completely nuts.
People really overplay the seriousness of SR2, it's still plenty silly and you make it even sillier if you want
@@jackharrow7147 There was a limit to it

but they had no idea what the future has in store...

Saints Row (2022): "I'm going to kill it."
True lol 😂
Bruh, we havent even gotten real gameplay footage yet
@@InContemplation We actually did with their most recent trailer. The gameplay looks fun but it's ruined by the story and characters. Hell two of the gangs is a rip off of The Deckers and Ultor. This is Last of Us 2 all over again. Definitely not buying I'll stick to the originals instead.
@@goldensaiyan4 wtaf are you talking about? We have basically nothing so far and theres already dozens of assumptions? Like did people look at the 1 shot of the guy with the glow rope and somehow unironically go "dECkErS hAD nEOn sO thEyRe tHe SaME"???
Also the characters we've had literally no interaction with as players???
@@InContemplation Are you blind they are basically knock off deckers and one of the other gangs is basically Ultor. Take off your hype glasses and see what the game really is.
Honestly the gameplay itself was about giving you options on how you wanted to play the game, guns aren't entirely useless because they're still fun to use, still fun to shoot. At least that's my opinion.
I've constantly used the dubstep gun
Same goes for cars. Flying may be fast and fun but driving is fun too, its about which youd rather do
I use so many guns when I play it, it's just fun. Like the black hole gun or the abduction ray. Hell I'll even use the shotgun just to fly around acting like if the punisher got superman's powers.
You can't look at the mini gun, rocket launcher, flame thrower, fire works masterpiece of a weapon and tell me weapons are useless in SR4
By far some of the most fun I've had in a long time was loading this game up, turning every cheat on, inviting a friend, and just revelling in the chaos. I love _all_ of these games, saints row two is my favorite by a long run, but I've never played one of these games and thought "man, I'm not enjoying this", even GooH had it's moments.
Still better then the new one
SR3 jumped the shark
SR4 said "hold my beer" got into a angry birds slingshot, hijacked a jetpack mid air, did a quintuple axel flip over tge shark and then looked at the judge hoping to see those 10/10's
And that's why I love it
SR3 did not "jumped the shark" you're just blinded by nostalgia
Couldn't have put it better myself
And then Bam
Reboot time
That whole description made SR4 look a lot more cooler though.

4 is a gem after 5 dropped.
Saints Row IV was my first and only Saints Row game and I loved it.
It's the same for me, and it will likely remain so as the super powers and Matrix like elements were the draw for me. Also, I'm terrible at driving vehicles in video games so being able to largely avoid that in this one was a plus in my case. I still use weapons quite a bit, so powers didn't replace them for me at least.
I really wish the series maintained the SR2 style, I feel they struck the best balance between the batshit crazy, and serious moments there. SR3 was such a disappointment to me, but for some reason, I loved SR4.
Interesting. I actually loved SR3 and thought sr4 was okay

I dont know much about this series, but seeing a playthrough of SR4 on CZcams made it seem quite enjoyable.

This game was my first SR experience. I grew up playing gta and knew about sr 2 and 3 but never got the chance to play them. Eventually when I did, it was a really fun and unique experience. I had done all the gta stuff before so this was kinda like a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed the story, mainly because the script was hilarious imo. So if you just let the game do it’s thing, despite its flaws, I think it’s just fun. Hats off to them for making a game focused around fun and less on the aspects that make mainstream games really popular
I love the references to The Creatures, Crazy how their channel fizzled out
The game really loses me when Earth is blown up and everything we do turns into just simulations. If the rumoured 5th game comes out they need to ignore the story of 4. Have a few flashbacks of it and show out character waking up, just make all off 4 a dream.
I want to get to the in-universe real world, have real stakes not just everything being a fake simulation. We need to get back to gang warfare. In 3 where the gangs eventually ends up fighting the military, that's as crazy as we need to get.
Story wise in 4 it felt like nothing mattered, and killing off the Earth and so many characters wasn't cool at all.
And yea the game play was fun. But I agree it dragged by the point we got later into the game.
Rumor has it that saints row IV and gat of hell will be treated like Gangstas in Space story wise which is just part of Saints in-universe product placement in saints row V.
@@imanrosohadi2125 That or they just will take the bullet and go full time travel or space opera
That’s honestly where I was left at. I thought the game was just the same SteelPort but over turned by zinyak forces. I didn’t realize it was a simulated version of the city until playing the game. Wish they didn’t do that because changing time of day and returning to the ship breaks character and takes way too long to do rather than just adding cheats like the previous games. And on top of that the game should have no replay after completion seeing as the simulation got shut down to stop Zinyak. It’s like playing sr 1 seconds after the game is completed. It makes no sense where as sr2 and the third (depending on which ending) makes sense to still be playable after the story is finished.
But then Johnny would still be dead
That's just Saints row 1 to 3, that's kinda lame and repetitive if they did that.
The thing I love about the Saints Row series is that it always tried to do something different with each game to keep it fresh. SR1 was similar to GTA but had its own fresh take on the gangster scene. SR2 did the same thing but took it to even greater heights. SRTT did something different, trying ti be as chaotic as possible while still being sorta normal which was a welcome change imo. SR4 took SRTT and just filled it with steroids and gave you super powers. Thing things that kept the game all together that made it amazing was it had the most loveable psychopaths in video game history
The way you worded it made it sound like SR2 in fact did nothing different
@@notmattmurdock7663 he said it took it to greater heights, that isn’t nothing.

Love this game, didn't take itself seriously. The crazy powerups giving you absurd powers made it the best super power game I ever played. I wish they'd put out a Hulk game with same endgame move set.
