  • Earlier this month the reboot of Saints Row hit the gaming space. But while you're all playing that, I thought it'd be fun to look at how it all began. So put on some purple, let's get this started. This is a new series I call, Humble Beginnings.

    Clearly I needed to play further into GTA San Andreas when I was collecting footage, because everyone's informing me you could recruit soldiers to help you take territories in that game as well. I've beaten San Andreas before but I didn't remember that at all! Whoops!

    While he says old Saints Row isn't as deep when talking about gang violence compared to San Andreas.
    But the fact that in the end of SR1 your actions lead to corrupt politicians starting up a mass gentrification plan. Seeing as some lower income places are getting gentrified heavily right now IRL. I find it neat that Saints Row of all things actually reference such things.

      I like all 4 saints Row game I don't got a favorite between the 4 original games I just like the swearing and comedic drama in these games plus the porn star stuff that's litered around still water oh yeah and the dildollie that cracked me up I've never seen one in a game before and I just like saints row because it reminds me of Kuma n Harold featuring Redman and method man with a bit of Friday added in

    One of my fondest memories of this game is when I was with my brother and cousin playing this. There's a mission where you gotta help some guy. He goes "you must be the kid Julius sent" in the calmest tone while he's ragdolling down stairs and that moment sent us into uncontrollable laughter and remained an in-joke for us for a long time

    The Carnales final mission is the hardest one, as the other two have ways you can make them easier;
    Rollerz - Bring one of the big bulky police traffic stop vehicles along to the mission
    Vice Kings - Head straight to the Forgive & Forget in the museum district after picking up Stefan. Repeatedly drive through it.

    Something that I really like about the original saints row is the interactivity in the open open world. All throughout u can see phone numbers on billboards, bus stops, taxi’s and the radio stations, each one with their quirky twist. Calling the number on your phone will trigger unique dialogue and it can do nothing or used at the right time can get u something, like Zombie Lin. It’s just a nice Easter egg that allows the world to feel more alive and interactive

    I absolutely love how on point this retrospective is and I personally love a lot if not all the points you bring up that I’ve been saying when talking about this game! No one ever mentions the vibrant colors and how lovely the game is to view, especially compared to the washed out Saints Row 2. I believe the soundtrack is the best and I know none of the somgs im the game personally but I had my biggest playlist compared to all the other games. I love the dynamic of the characters and I adore that despite how grounded this game can be, it’s still just as fun and whacky as it’s sequels. Okay maybe not as wacky but it’s still fun and doesn’t shy away from the comedic stuff they put in. They made thise fun bits like Zombie Lin neat little additions and bits without going overboard like they eventually do in SR3 and onward. It didn’t need it for the others and I will gladly return to this and SR2 with my foam middle finger pimp slap before going onto 3 and onward. Thank you for this video

    Awesome first episode to a new series! It was nice to see a look back on the first Saints Row. I am so glad I am not alone with the same thoughts on GTA 4. I thought it was a massive step down from everything Rockstar did in San Andreas, thankfully Saints Row 1 and 2 were there to fill in the GTA sized hole left there for a good chunk of that generation until GTA 5 finally came out.
    I can't wait to see more videos from you, Clement!

    Kingdom Hearts would be an interesting humble beginnings because it is truly odd to see just how much the series got more complicated overtime and how much of it has changed due to it being much more mainstream because back in the day, the first game felt like more of a underdog ps2 classic despite the game selling really well

One of the things I liked the most was drive head on into an npc car and watching them fly out of their windshield and occassionally they would fly directly into my windshield and I could just drive around with there legs hanging out flopping around lol I had never seen that happen in an open world game and there hasnt been another to do that since then. Underrated and unappreciated gem.

    And modern Anthony (Boss of VC gang) - later, in SR 4, is gonna be voiced by Terry Crews.
    So, yea, cast in SR games (except a damn reboot) - are phenomenal.
    Also, Gary Busey (Yes, THE GUY who voiced Phil Cassidy in GTA VC) - was in a TV ad and Trailers of first Two SR games.
