12:46 tbh this take is kinda nice and it makes sense since Saints Row 2. The biggest hints: romantic dialogue with dialogues in the Saints Row 2 and 3 and 50’s simulation in the Saints Row IV. Also The Boss saves her about 5 or 6 times in the games. Kinda makes sense. But Kinzie also fit well with her kinky mood. I agree with your point AJTS. Thanks for the content brother!
Hot take: Saints Row: The Third should have had 2’s combat options (blocking, breaking necks, different fighting styles, yeeting people, etc.) on top of the QTE moves.
I went back and 100%’ed the campaign of every game in the series earlier this year (except the reboot), and 1 and 2 are the only games that I miss playing. 3 had decent combat, driving and customisation, but the rest of the game felt boring and like a downgrade. 4 was only worth playing for the superpowers, the story and every else in the game was just too ridiculous for me to find enjoyable. GOOH was complete dogsht apart from the map which was cool and fun to explore in, the map was also the only thing motivating me to keep pushing through the endless grinding for the 100%. I like my saints row games grounded in reality and taken seriously. I haven’t played the reboot yet, but based on everything I’ve seen since the release I’m not looking forward to it, I just hope it’s more enjoyable to 100% than GOOH was.
Random take: The mass effect romace parody options on the zin ship of SR4 are some of the most hilarious moments from the game and would've been a controversy if the game was released nowadays due to the anit-woke crowd, giving SR4 the 2022 reboot treatment
hey AJTS! nice vid thx man. some of these opinions actually makes sense and others are pretty hot and interesting. i am glad how fans still discusses about this game franchise. i remember how in 2011-13 on game forums a lot of people were arguing what's better sr3 or sr4. new fans vs old fans always was a hot take and i don't even talk about kinzie fans vs shaundi fans xd it's fokin lava take. subscribed!
Never understand why people say sr2 is overrated. Srtt sold more then 2 and almost everytime I ask someone’s what there first sr game is it’s normally going to be 3. Also you didn’t have to call me out like that.😔
I kinda like the gameplay on gameplay thing I just think it could be executed better maybe make it a square instead of a circle and add an outline and rounded edges or maybe dim the base footage so the one on top stands out a little more and things feel more cohesive
I agree with most of the things you mentioned (except for SR3 having a better map than SR1) Also at 2:05 you said Stilwater instead of Steelport, shame on you ☠
These aren't hot takes they are magma! I have one Saints row 4 is a great game regardless of being apart of the franchise. EDIT 9:53 GOOMBA DON'T MAKE SAINTS ROW THE OPENING OF DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE! Edit 2: 12:44 I'm the same way but with Johnny Gat and the female boss. I ship those two
yep Gat & female boss seems nice and logical ship such as Shaundi & male boss or Kinzie & male boss. damn Volition should have give us any info about it
Hey AJ I am actually planning on making reviews on every Saints row game on my UA-cam channel starting with the first and ending with the reboot do you have any suggestions on how I should review them because I love your videos very much and you are really talented at what you do I could use some tips on how I should review the games
I won't give you the mumbo jumbo about "always trying your best" you know that generic stuff. So here's some actually helpful advice. If you don't have a clear vision, script it, maybe even script it anyways, write down exactly what you wanna say, and stick to it. Separate the video into segments, it makes it easier to follow along for viewers and for you to keep track of while making Keep editing simple, when it's early days just make the editing simple whilst you're learning. Basic editing will do the job, a poor attempt at amazing editing can throw people off, always experiment but if you just wanna get started, start at the beginning. Don't be afraid to promo Keep the vids between 10-20 mins, UA-cam doesn't care about likes or comments, it's all about watch time, specifically the % if you make a 20 min video that's watched for 5 mins, and a 10 min vid that's watched for 5 (on average) even tho the 20 min video is longer, the 10 mins one will out perform it by far.
A game series that was on fire in 1&2 that dropped to mildly disappointment slightly more disappointment to that is just a DLC to 4 to can we just not I mean seriously 2 had college students that didn't make me feel like I was watching some after school special that made me want to break my TV for how boring it is they parodied How High and Animal House
I have a couple. Saints Row 1 is not as good as we remember, and its 2 when the series became amazing. SR1 is just a slog to get through. And the best games in this franchise are not SR1 and 2, or SR3 and 4, its SR2 and 3.
Saints row 4 is absolutely rubbish, I’m sorry, 4 is hardly even a saints row, the story is wank and it’s not even a good superhero game; it feels like a mix of the worst parts of prototype with super speed and I think the speed may be the only good thing to do with the game (but even that ruined the point of vehicles) Saints row 4 is a joke for what it did to saints row
I completely agree,SR4 is what killed SR not the reboot.SR4 lost their OG Saints and the reboot lost the new Sci Fi Saints.Regardless SR3 was the beginning of the end,even though I kind of enjoyed it.
I know what you mean. The plot was the worst in the series. The boss becoming president, aliens, earth getting completely obliterated, superpowers in the real world (as seen in the final mission).
@@AJThirdStreet “I’m not an honest man but I’m a fair one” if you can tell me what character says this line of the top of your head (no looking it up) i’ll call your bluff then look the other way
I have some spicy takes I had fun with reboot for what it was I scared to say it but I love it for it's customization, sandbox and takedowns I didn't find SR2 that fun maybe because I played it in 2024 and it felt super outdated mostly because of graphic and animation but customization "mechanic" was best in the series but it lacked, graphic felt like PS2 & animation felt like a mobile game, also I don't like being forced to play activities/strongholds be able to play story It also had the best map in the series SR3 story was almost as bad as reboot except that characters were likeable and it had humor, endings were underwhelming and it lacked unique cutscenes made me feel like I'm playing activities
Saints Row Hot Take: Grand Theft Auto VI’s upcoming release is, quite possibly, the largest business opportunity in Saints Row history. Everybody knows the most direct competitor to GTA is SR. Volition, or whoever it is now, can literally piggyback off of the biggest game of the upcoming years.
Here's my hot take is that SR Reboot isn't nearly as bad as the Row Bros say it is. It has problems sure, but it really didn't kill the franchise (Embracer Group did. End of Story!) Also the Reboot would have benefited from a Live Service similar to Fallout 76 (which was a terrible game at launch but is really enjoyable now)
@AJThirdStreet it's just upsetting that Embracer Group don't really care about games in general and ran SRR into the ground (which is what actually happened. The whole "SRR is woke" thing is stupid and the fandom should actually be ashamed of itself). Just kind of grateful that Randy Pitchford didn't get a chance to get his greasy little paws on it to make it basically Borderlands Row (since that's the direction Gearbox seemed to want to go. And it shows) Also another hot take. Heist and the Hazardous was better than A Song Of Ice And Dust. ASOI&D should've leaned into it's Fallout and Skyrim aesthetic and ditched the whole Game Of Thrones thing
Larp 8/10 tho
My bad for the 20 second long ending, idk why it was there, an editing goof up me thinks, nothing major but bleh
Its true! I made the best with what I had for the first part, but the larp was genuinely the most Enjoyment I had the entire game.😂
Saints Row reboot at it's broken launch was so bad it's fun

I enjoyed the look and feel of Steelport. The only main gripe a had about it was that it felt small for an open world map.
I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of saints row 2 with today's graphics
Random take:
The mass effect romace parody options on the zin ship of SR4 are some of the most hilarious moments from the game and would've been a controversy if the game was released nowadays due to the anit-woke crowd, giving SR4 the 2022 reboot treatment
This is so true! Ewww main boss can fuck gat! Let's get political!
Why would anyone have an issue with it?
The fact that you can go inside the building in saints row 1 is fun
Saints row 4 is actually fun
They hate it cuz they ain't it
hey AJTS! nice vid thx man. some of these opinions actually makes sense and others are pretty hot and interesting. i am glad how fans still discusses about this game franchise. i remember how in 2011-13 on game forums a lot of people were arguing what's better sr3 or sr4. new fans vs old fans always was a hot take and i don't even talk about kinzie fans vs shaundi fans xd it's fokin lava take. subscribed!
If the company won't, I'll keep the row alive, or we'll watch it die trying!
I thought you were kidding but these really are hot takes.😅
I wasn't a fan of the whole alien story and flying i prefer driving around the map
Saints row 4 only thing I like about it is the clothing and outfits that's about it
And story was entertaining despite being nonsense
@DevilsFavoriteMan I didn't care much for the story seeing how it was somehow centered on aliens at that point that was ridiculous 😞
Never understand why people say sr2 is overrated. Srtt sold more then 2 and almost everytime I ask someone’s what there first sr game is it’s normally going to be 3. Also you didn’t have to call me out like that.😔
lol... yes... I really did have to.
madgoomba
On a serious note I prefer stilwater in 1 more than 2
It's not that I don't like the later games. It's just all the misses opportunites piss me off. Same With crackdown 3
Also skibidi gat is a great idea
No skibidi. But I get it man, I don't hate what we got, I hate that we didn't get what we could have had
Take care aj
I love saints row 2 and 4 but I love every saints row Ik you may hate my opinion, but I enjoy all of them
Goomba is just funny ngl also Merry Christmas! Late i know
Have a good festive season brother
I kinda like the gameplay on gameplay thing I just think it could be executed better maybe make it a square instead of a circle and add an outline and rounded edges or maybe dim the base footage so the one on top stands out a little more and things feel more cohesive
I've used squares throughout the vid! As for the other stuff I'll look into it
I agree with most of the things you mentioned (except for SR3 having a better map than SR1)
Also at 2:05 you said Stilwater instead of Steelport, shame on you ☠
Nah! I meant the mission where you save king! It simulates the opening level for SR1! Also HELL no is steelport better!

Hi ajts
Heya froggle
SR1 underrated imo that might be a hot take
