The best part about Saints Row 1 and 2 is that it combined humor and seriousness and had an interesting story. 3 and 4 overdid the humor to the point where it wasnt funny.
4 was fun and i liked the little nods and things they talked about referenceing saints row 1 and 2 it was for players that stuck with series since the beginning 3 was meh
3 was trying to strike that same happy medium and failed. 4 was just embracing the fact that the originals were real classics that would never be topped, so you might as well just embrace the goofy as hell gameplay and character set-up given in 3...with slight angst here and there.
Red 3 was a lot of fun to play, I feel it controls a little better, and while it didn’t quite hit that middle ground like 2 did (never played 1), I feel it had its own charm due to just how crazy it got near the end(Deckers.die anyone?) though that might be because it was my starting point with this series. And 4? 4 threw all sense, seriousness, and normalcy out the window and ran with the craziness. And it is GLORIOUS. 2 had the better story, but in my opinion 4 is the best game in the series because it is so much fun to play.
3 was still a pretty good game even though that's when the series started going crazy. It was still about fighting gangs and being a criminal despite the terrible story. SR4 just does away with all that and now it's all about being a superhero and fighting aliens. Why would I want that? That's not I'm looking for in a Saints Row game. If I wanted to do that I'll just play Crackdown or Prototype.
Man, the writing and acting in SR2 was just so good. It was just the right mix of seriousness and humor before SR3 took the humor a little too far and SR4 pretty much went straight into the deep end.
Dan Killen Gat at of Hell was the same but with him as the main character and I have no idea what Agents of Mayhem was but everyone seems to have forgotten that game. Basically this franchise needs a reboot
@@Killenmachine05 agents of mayhem IS NOT A SAINTS ROW GAME, it is in the saints row universe but this game is with different gameplay, different things and is a different game with different story it is not meant to be a saints row main game.
korruption he is a ronin a samurai without a master granted If I was in his shoes I would not have killed her because killing a woman does not bring honour instead it brings only shame
PyroPuris yep, best cutscene in whole sr series for me 2nd is johny crashing the weding in gat out of hell and 3rd is him beating the hell out of the morningstar in the jet (flashback)
Okay guys, what frustrates me about Aisha's death was that her death could of been prevented by: -Boss and Johnny sticking with Pierce's plan -Boss and Gat not going out for an evening stroll -Aisha not screaming out "ITS A TRAP", even though Gat was ready to take on the house intruders. Like, is anyone feeling the same thing here or is it just me?
The Saints aren't exactly Solid Snake. It's not likely they'd be able to sneak into a heavily guarded casino without a firefight breaking out eventually, and the reason she shouted was because she wanted to let Johnny know it was a trap, even if her life was being threatened. For all she knew he could've just been strolling in like nobody was there.
Funny thing with Ronin's is that they may have actually beaten the saints (doubt it, but possible), had Kazuo just let Shogo to lead the Ronin. Just think about it: What did Shogo achieve? - Investigated Casino heist (found out where Gat lived) - Handled Vogel (prevented the loss of an ally) - Tried to kill Gat (Killed his girlfriend and hospitalized) What did Kazuo achieve? - Turned Juynichi against his direct superior (which led to his death) - Tried to kill Gat multiple times (failing at it) - Angered Vogel (HQ got leaked to Saints and destroyed) - Drove Shogo to desparate attempt to kill Saint leadership (indirectly causing his death) Am I overreading this, but was Shogo actually a better leader than his prick father?
From what I can tell from rewatching these cutscenes, Shogo (although arrogant) understands that the rules back home are much more different than in Stillwater. Sure, he isn't the best leader but with that knowledge it got him pretty far in the game.
Yes but Shogo still couldn't finish off Gat at the hospital or even at the funeral so doubt he would win, like Kazuo actually beat the Boss in a swordfight and almost blew up their base in one mission by sheer strength. Still he was smarter than his dad about gang running
Ghetto girls for u. She seen it all and it’s surprised by any of it no more. She just wants a nice life and she ignores whatever else she sees to focus on it.
GTS - I played Gat out of Hell because it’s a Saints Row game but the fact that they completely locked you out of playing as your own character was terrible. If I remember correctly you couldn’t even change clothes

@@koleszgdanska7149 Well he did know where Gat lived and nearly had him killed and killed Aisha. Kazuo did jack shit, so Shogo was smarter but got the worst of it.
The Ronin arc was my favorite storyline of the whole series. A Japanese samurai biker themed gang, some of my favorite missions, some of my favorite enemy gang characters, and Johnny at his most badass. It doesn't get much better than the Ronin arc.
I wish they rebooted the Saints Row franchise or made a true spiritual successor that recaptured the feel of SR2. The tone of SR2 was perfect: it was the right dose of wacky and colorful and aimed more at being a homage to bad exploitation action movies (like Showdown in Little Tokyo) or honestly great classic movies with a B movie feel (Robocop). It was even cooler when the nods to pop culture were more obscure (it had homages to classic anime like Akira or Megazone 23, which really fit the game) that also allowed the games to make a personality for themselves... with the homages they made in 3 and 4 they were so blatantly obvious and about things so recent in memory (The Matrix, The Dark Knight, The Avengers...) and so central that SRIV specially became "Parody: The Game" and the humor in The Third and IV felt like the videogame equivalent of Scary Movie and the like. Stillwater had also so much character for a fictional hybrid of many cities, it felt so alive and was such a great place to explore (discovering you could dial the phone numbers on billboards and have a reaction to that, etc.). The newer games take on what's fun about a sandbox game consisted on just the opposite: having you spend as little time in the actual soulless city and more in one-off corridor scenes in which the creators could be sure you'd see all the fun stuff and deliver the punchline at the right moment, essentially handholding the player.
Decatonkeil nostalgia tends to people like you blind.i like that it actually changed its style instead of just enhancing graphics like gta does.quit bitching
spearofconquest How can it be nostalgia? I played SRTT long before I played SR2. SRTT was my first SR. Quit psychoanalyzing people. The internet has a way of making people think that everyone has to be judged by them.
Decatonkeil The biggest difference in SR2 was that it could be serious, which made the silly/awesome stuff stand out so much more. SR3 and onwards went so far into absurd that it lost all meaning.
Seriously, the game's general production quality isn't all that good even for 2008 but some of these cutscenes, particularly the action ones wouldn't feel out of place in a movie.
its funny how in the beginning of the Ronin missions, Gat says that Shogo "spends more time on his hair than on his bike, but that doesn't change the fact that he's totally ruthless" when it turns out that Shogo is more talk than action and that the ruthless one is Johnny.....
I higly doubt Shogo was just talk, but he was a fool for picking a fight with two of Stilwater's biggest badasses. He was never gonna win vs Gat and Boss
I can't help but feel a little bad for Shogo. He has everything, but because some upstart gang needed to make a statement, his father takes the gang into his hands, and has no idea how to run it himself. Then it gets him killed because his right hand man makes a hit on the wrong person.
In japan I'm sure shogo's father was a great leader but he had no clue how the United States worked unlike shogo who was aware that the rules were different and shogo did a better job by enlarge than his father could at Least in the over all scope of things
Your not the only one. To be honest, if I had played SR3 first [god help me] I probably would have thought Shogo was about to pull a Viola and actually join the Saints, though I think Gat would have a hard time accepting that. Only revealing he was the one who betrayed Jyunichi would probably have let that happen. I think it makes for good fan literature though.
I love hearing the shell casing roll along the floor at 4:30. Even nailed the time it took to hit the floor after leaving the gun. They really went the extra mile woth the detail in that scene.
That area of Stilwater @ 20:28 was sooo cozy. I loved the SR1 & 2 map, the time period, everything about those games was flawless! Even the laggy online & gameplay meta were phenomenal.
4:32 I love how Aisha was more angry about her table getting broken and blood getting into the carpet instead of Johnny shooting a guy in the back of the head in front of her. Gotta find me a loyal lady like that.
@@leilanicatrose3576 I don't recall if he spoke Korean, but there is a game where he says he speaks Korean. I think I don't know if it was Gat Outta Hell or Agents of Mayhem. One of those two.
The boss and Gat fighting the Ronin in Aisha's house is one of my favorite scenes from the entire Saints Row saga... and, in my opinion, Shogo had the most horrifying death in this game.
Well it is up to players if they want Playa to be white or black. My playa in both 2 and 3 are white and I made them bald and dressed up in business suits to make my Playas look like agent 47
Fun fact: Shogo Akuji’s voice actor is the guy who voiced Ben 10. 14:40 If Dane agreed to a new deal or Kazuo agreed to control his gang members, they could’ve beaten the Saints. 19:49 Remember: this was years before John Wick.
Remember that Aisha in Saints Row 1 was a gangster too, and you can tell from the cutscenes she's in. She's completely unbothered by them kidnapping and killing a guy, she's just annoyed it's in her living room. Another thing I noticed is that Johnny immediately knows something was up, so her dying to warn Johnny was ultimately unnecessary. I feel the only reason she doesn't get more respect is because she didn't play much of a part in either game, but there was a great character here despite that.
I just noticed how every Ronin member died very Brutally. Jyunichi: Literally sliced and chopped up from different places Shogo: Beaten like an animal and then Texas Funeral Kazuo: Shot, Impaled and then left to burn alive
The fact that Shogo Akuji is ethnically Japanese and is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal makes me think this is how Sasuke Uchiha would be if he moved in to the United States.
+EthelredFlametail Well, the kid was kinda asking for it. First, fuck with the Saints by killing Gat's girl in cold blood. Then, send men after them repeatedly before crashing a burial where even Gat, Johnny fucking Gat, of all people thinks it's tasteless to attack people at. He earned that death. Plus, he sounds spoilt rotten.
+dannylamb456 He's actually the opposite of spoiled, re-watch these and you'll see that he is actually the opposite, Although he DID deserve to die, I don't think he quite deserved what he got
Ronin would have had much more strategical leadership had Shogo continued to run the gang along with Jyunichi under his order. He was a prick but in this world, pricks get farther
"When I escape, the World will not be enough for you to hide in." Could very much be a comeback for the new Ronnin (or just Akuji) in the new Saints Row game since we never *actually* witnessed him dying.
You know what so fire about Saints Row 2? The people you help in the activities on the first SR, they help you take down the gangs in the second one. They even brought Julius, Dex, Troy and Aisha ( RIP) back. Best sequel ever
This actually made me want to play Saints Row 2. Seening SR4 I thought the series was just "wacky GTA" but these cutscenes makes it look like a cool action movie.
Shogo was genuinely a better leader than his father, and all of the mistakes he made are a result of trying to impress his father. If Kazuo wasn't present, Ronin would have probably killed more saints and kept their deal with ultor. Kazuo is too old-fashioned to succeed in America. Him taking over the gang Doomed it.
Man, this game had some amazing cutscene work. I think Saint's Row 3 had the best mechanical design, but 2 definitely had the best story. Vogel was such a great unctuous presence in all the stories, always hovering right on the edge of wanting to kill him because you KNOW he's up to something, and wanting him alive just to see where he's going with it. The goofy themes of the gangs were played with just enough restraint that they always felt like worthy foes. I think 4, maligned as it often is, comes out the second strongest in terms of writing, mostly thanks to the character focus and return to the snappy, satisfying cutscene work of 2, and jettisoning some of the more, uh, uncomfortable humor of 3. I'm looking at Zimos.
I realized what I miss from 1 & 2 series. These cutscenes that explains whole conflict, not just from the protagonist’s eyes but also enemy too. Also these missions are missions, not activities parts.
the sound effects, the direction, the style, the animation, the cutscenes on saints row 2 are the best in the business. Did the people who put in the work for these cutscenes seek better pastures after this game?
I've noticed that the Saints only seem to go mad quest for vengeance when they lose someone. First Saints, Lin died, so they went to kill William. Second Saints, Akuji has Aisha killed, they went to kill him. Jessica had Carlos die, so they went after him. 3rd. Phillipe Loren had Johnny kill, they so went after him. And finally, Zinyak blew up the Earth, killing SEVEARL friends of the Saints, and, of course, he died. Now I didn't say the Saints only kill when its vengeance, they'll kill to get rid of the competition, but they seem to be only hungry for vengeance, when they lose someone. Any other time, its just business as usual, and only time they spare someone (Donnie, Matt Miller, Viola,) is if it benefits them.
For the graveyard mission, i always prepare my character with a good set of suit I don't care if my money is not enough, because i can get more anytime
I have to say I like Mr. Vogel as a villain. He’s is what I think when I think of psychopathic business men. He’s good with his words, seems trustworthy but is a liar, and only cares about himself and his business. Even in hell, he continues to build his company. Best game antagonist ever
0:12, I’m almost POSITIVE that Pierce’s plan was inspired by the Casino Heist missions from GTA San Andreas. Took me YEARS to make the connection, but the actual Caligula’s robbery plays out almost EXACTLY how Pierce said it, all complicated. Then you have Gat come in and rip the plan to shreds, typical Saints Row style. It took me YEARS to think of that connection, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m right!
this game is so funny and great,, in the beginning gat is almost getting the chair and now he is stabbed and he can go into the hospital without getting arrested.
@@65firered Im pretty sure Volition going to bring back the organized crime, Gangsters, The Hood, gang war, serious tone with natural humor happening in the background Atmosphere. No Alien and over the top shit like Saints row 4.
16:47 I swear that the priest's voice actor is Keith Szarabajka, the voice of Joshua Graham from Fallout: New Vegas. Realizing this after realizing that Maero is voiced by Michael Dorn, who also played Worf from Star Trek: The Next Generation. My mind is a bit blown right now.
Saints Row, I just love it! Those songs in Saints Row 2 just make me think what the Saints have been through! :/ I hope they will return to the gangster theme, I loved that theme, you like.. controlled an army/gang! I would continue the story like this: The Saints get sucked into a portal to a city like Steelport, since Zinjay said that time-traveling can restore it! They get sucked, and land on gangster-city, with new clothes, companies, gangs, cars etc. You still have Shaundi and Kinzie etc. You will need to start a gang, by doing missions and recruiting people, buying companies and stuff. It's also a crazy over-the-top game with nast and funny stuff! You will need to do missions to conquer a hood like in Saints Row 2, not the 3-4 style. You can customize cars, your gang, you can choose you're gang clothes too, not the colour though. Isn't it fun? I mean, people like the gang-theme, tell me if you like mine! Gonna send this to Volition!

Still he was smarter than his dad about gang running

That was my favorite cutscene

Lol haha
Fucking gdog.
I wonder where gdog is today....

Probably ruining some poor bastards Gat out of Hell end cutscene.
I love how when Jynuchi says Sayonara the subtitles still says speaks Japanese
For 2008, this game had some damn good cut scenes. Sound design was great too.
RIP Aisha I Took joy in killing those Ronin bastards once a Saint always a Saint RIP Carlos too.
Lin died from the gunshot wound before she could drown, but boss woulda drowned, had he not gotten outta the trunk with her.
gamer dude 6:12 I almost cried when he died and how iesha died
gamer dude 6:12 carlos is not ded
Ain't Washington supposed to be in charge of the Ronin
Lmfao, saints row is not meant to be taken seriously. If you actually felt something from the shallow Aisha's death, that's sad.
17:24
This scene still gives me chills, how I wish more games had moments like this.
Johnny Gat = Shao Kahn
Shogo Akuji = Raiden
Shogo = A westernized smart gang leader
Jyunichi = A Traditional smart gang leader
Kazuo = A Traditional idiot
So I'm not the only one who thinks Kazuo is an idiot
Fun Fact: Shogo Akuji sounds like Smoke from Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) ❤
@@dmalaychuk That’s because it is Smoke. Yuri Lowenthal
Shogo wasn't smart I'd say
@@koleszgdanska7149 Well he did know where Gat lived and nearly had him killed and killed Aisha. Kazuo did jack shit, so Shogo was smarter but got the worst of it.
The Ronin arc was my favorite storyline of the whole series. A Japanese samurai biker themed gang, some of my favorite missions, some of my favorite enemy gang characters, and Johnny at his most badass. It doesn't get much better than the Ronin arc.
You should play Sleeping Dogs, you might like it.
I wish they rebooted the Saints Row franchise or made a true spiritual successor that recaptured the feel of SR2. The tone of SR2 was perfect: it was the right dose of wacky and colorful and aimed more at being a homage to bad exploitation action movies (like Showdown in Little Tokyo) or honestly great classic movies with a B movie feel (Robocop). It was even cooler when the nods to pop culture were more obscure (it had homages to classic anime like Akira or Megazone 23, which really fit the game) that also allowed the games to make a personality for themselves... with the homages they made in 3 and 4 they were so blatantly obvious and about things so recent in memory (The Matrix, The Dark Knight, The Avengers...) and so central that SRIV specially became "Parody: The Game" and the humor in The Third and IV felt like the videogame equivalent of Scary Movie and the like. Stillwater had also so much character for a fictional hybrid of many cities, it felt so alive and was such a great place to explore (discovering you could dial the phone numbers on billboards and have a reaction to that, etc.). The newer games take on what's fun about a sandbox game consisted on just the opposite: having you spend as little time in the actual soulless city and more in one-off corridor scenes in which the creators could be sure you'd see all the fun stuff and deliver the punchline at the right moment, essentially handholding the player.
Decatonkeil I couldn't agree with you more. SR 2 was just perfect and all they had to do was improve it. Instead, they did the opposite.
Decatonkeil nostalgia tends to people like you blind.i like that it actually changed its style instead of just enhancing graphics like gta does.quit bitching
spearofconquest
How can it be nostalgia? I played SRTT long before I played SR2. SRTT was my first SR. Quit psychoanalyzing people. The internet has a way of making people think that everyone has to be judged by them.
Decatonkeil The biggest difference in SR2 was that it could be serious, which made the silly/awesome stuff stand out so much more. SR3 and onwards went so far into absurd that it lost all meaning.
spearofconquest There's many differences between GTA4&5 besides graphics, fuck outta here...
these cutscenes are fucking fantastic
Definitely. I would love to see a film based this game.
gta san andreas
Anton Derkarch but better
I once heard that 50 Cent wanted to do a movie based on this game, but it never came to fruition
Seriously, the game's general production quality isn't all that good even for 2008 but some of these cutscenes, particularly the action ones wouldn't feel out of place in a movie.
Gotta love the Texas burial scene. Brings chills.
I feel you bro heheh
Priscilla Maxwell, poor Sasuke😥
That besides carlos death has to be the most darkest one in this game. I loved it ! Really had an eerie feel to it while playing.
"Get up" 🤣🤣🤣 one of the coldest scenes in a video game
“Kill me but don’t do this”
*chills*
Dude, Johnny Gat doesn't have any mercy to the Ronin.
So cool
dude they fucking killed Aisha and you think Gat would be cool HELL NO HE SHOWED NO MERCY
Gat's strategies always involved massive amounts of bloodshed and blowing shit up in Saints Row 1 even before he had a personal motive for revenge.
baltapaulaxl seems like Johnny Gat must really have hate on the Ronin
Just watch that one part when gat socks that ronin girl member and gun them down with *NO FUCKS GIVEN*
Mortised TheGamer 22:00-22:10? Best part without a doubt
its funny how in the beginning of the Ronin missions, Gat says that Shogo "spends more time on his hair than on his bike, but that doesn't change the fact that he's totally ruthless" when it turns out that Shogo is more talk than action and that the ruthless one is Johnny.....
Darrian Mitchell especially at 18:10
I higly doubt Shogo was just talk, but he was a fool for picking a fight with two of Stilwater's biggest badasses. He was never gonna win vs Gat and Boss
I can't help but feel a little bad for Shogo. He has everything, but because some upstart gang needed to make a statement, his father takes the gang into his hands, and has no idea how to run it himself. Then it gets him killed because his right hand man makes a hit on the wrong person.
In japan I'm sure shogo's father was a great leader but he had no clue how the United States worked unlike shogo who was aware that the rules were different and shogo did a better job by enlarge than his father could at Least in the over all scope of things
And he saw the deal shogo made with ultor as bad even though it was beneficial to the ronin over all
Mweh. It's the Saints m8, they don't give 2 shits.
Your not the only one. To be honest, if I had played SR3 first [god help me] I probably would have thought Shogo was about to pull a Viola and actually join the Saints, though I think Gat would have a hard time accepting that. Only revealing he was the one who betrayed Jyunichi would probably have let that happen.
I think it makes for good fan literature though.
HistoryTwistedInc, yeah poor Sasuke.
I love hearing the shell casing roll along the floor at 4:30. Even nailed the time it took to hit the floor after leaving the gun. They really went the extra mile woth the detail in that scene.
That area of Stilwater @ 20:28 was sooo cozy. I loved the SR1 & 2 map, the time period, everything about those games was flawless! Even the laggy online & gameplay meta were phenomenal.
facts bro
4:32 I love how Aisha was more angry about her table getting broken and blood getting into the carpet instead of Johnny shooting a guy in the back of the head in front of her. Gotta find me a loyal lady like that.
Ronin: *Yelling in Japanese*
Johnny: WELL I'M KOREAN SO
American Korean.
Gat only speaks two languages. English and Korean.
22kingdomheartsfan when does he speak Korean
@@leilanicatrose3576 I don't recall if he spoke Korean, but there is a game where he says he speaks Korean. I think I don't know if it was Gat Outta Hell or Agents of Mayhem. One of those two.
Started playing saints row games since 2011 and I never even knew Johnny was asian until this year, Jesus am I dumb..
I'll never forget Shogo being buried alive. That there was priceless costed in gold.
Serves the little bitch right for getting Aisha killed
16 plus years later and Eesh's death scene still hits fucking hard.
That scene where Gat kills the Ronin with an AK47 is funny, yet badass at the same time. He went hard, but he was also chill about killing ‘em.
18:12 Dang Johnny Gat is a hard hitter!
get up!
BlahBlehBlerg I love gat buy he scaring me now...
That makes him a bad ass even at 18:59
that's why his girl likes him--
Shao Kahn: Their pathetic Mortal Kombat shackles me no longer.
Johnny did say he would not kill anyone on Aisha`s funeral
Kendall Augsute a person can survive 5 hours maximum so if he was buried around 9-10 pm Means he didnt kill anyone....
@@henriquethearab8476 I believe you only have about an hour's worth of oxygen in coffins. They aren't very big.
Anisha was gonna to die either way cuz Shogo said "Kill them" that meant set up something and kill the boss and anyone with him
Technical he didn't kill shogo
The Ronin's attack at her funeral made him to
"Nobility is sorely overrated" this was the main difference between shogo and his father.
The boss and Gat fighting the Ronin in Aisha's house is one of my favorite scenes from the entire Saints Row saga... and, in my opinion, Shogo had the most horrifying death in this game.
Not really.... considering how he probably had a knife or gun stashed away somewhere. And I think Carlos had the most horrifying / rough death.
Fun fact for those of you who don’t know. Shogo Akuji is voice by Yuri Lowenthal! AKA Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
And Sasuke Uchiha

I didn't know Damon Wayans was the leader of the Saints.

Shao Kahn: Their pathetic Mortal Kombat shackles me no longer.
22:00 That's the most ruthless goddamn cold-blodded shit i've seen today!
Look at his face when he pulls the trigger. Straight up merciless.
I actually feel bad for Shogo, his father doesn't even want to acknowledge his existence.
Fun fact: Shogo Akuji’s voice actor is the guy who voiced Ben 10.
14:40 If Dane agreed to a new deal or Kazuo agreed to control his gang members, they could’ve beaten the Saints.
19:49 Remember: this was years before John Wick.
I love saints row 2. It's my favorite game
+Megan Corniel Definitely my favorite of the series with Saints Row behind it.
+AnonymousAffection nah sr1 the best moments of my life coming from school as a kid and happy to play now I look back and I'm 16 best times I swear .
+Vebzi agreed
My first Saints Row game was Saints Row 2 :)
+Lil_ hoque same here
Remember that Aisha in Saints Row 1 was a gangster too, and you can tell from the cutscenes she's in. She's completely unbothered by them kidnapping and killing a guy, she's just annoyed it's in her living room. Another thing I noticed is that Johnny immediately knows something was up, so her dying to warn Johnny was ultimately unnecessary. I feel the only reason she doesn't get more respect is because she didn't play much of a part in either game, but there was a great character here despite that.
14:30 Kazuo Akuji: Be silent. You can show yourself out now. It's funny when he says "be silent."
Back when the characters actually treated the boss like their boss
The burial scene is definitely one of the darkest scenes in the game. This just goes to show you never fuck with Gat.
I never understood why didn't Junichi just gag Aisha instead of expecting her to just be quiet as they try to kill her boyfriend.
I just noticed how every Ronin member died very Brutally.
Jyunichi: Literally sliced and chopped up from different places
Shogo: Beaten like an animal and then Texas Funeral
Kazuo: Shot, Impaled and then left to burn alive
The fact that Shogo Akuji is ethnically Japanese and is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal makes me think this is how Sasuke Uchiha would be if he moved in to the United States.
Pierce: honestly why can’t we go with my plan?
Gat: and what ruin the plot.
The grave part was kind of dark
+EthelredFlametail
Well, the kid was kinda asking for it. First, fuck with the Saints by killing Gat's girl in cold blood. Then, send men after them repeatedly before crashing a burial where even Gat, Johnny fucking Gat, of all people thinks it's tasteless to attack people at.
He earned that death. Plus, he sounds spoilt rotten.
+dannylamb456 He's actually the opposite of spoiled, re-watch these and you'll see that he is actually the opposite, Although he DID deserve to die, I don't think he quite deserved what he got
Ben Dickie I know, I said 'sounds spoilt rotten'. Besides, he's disrespected his dad and his honour. What a disgraceful prick...
***** To be fair, his dad DID screw over the ronin by breaking their deal with ultor
Ronin would have had much more strategical leadership had Shogo continued to run the gang along with Jyunichi under his order. He was a prick but in this world, pricks get farther
"When I escape, the World will not be enough for you to hide in."
Could very much be a comeback for the new Ronnin (or just Akuji) in the new Saints Row game since we never *actually* witnessed him dying.
"Kanto Connection" has to be a Kill Bill reference of The Bride killing the Crazy 88
2:51 also Pierce picking up chips 😅
17:25 is my favorite cutscene.
Same

Shao Kahn: My venom spreads. It is the end of all things. Armageddon.

You know what so fire about Saints Row 2? The people you help in the activities on the first SR, they help you take down the gangs in the second one. They even brought Julius, Dex, Troy and Aisha ( RIP) back. Best sequel ever
True
This actually made me want to play Saints Row 2. Seening SR4 I thought the series was just "wacky GTA" but these cutscenes makes it look like a cool action movie.
Shogo was genuinely a better leader than his father, and all of the mistakes he made are a result of trying to impress his father. If Kazuo wasn't present, Ronin would have probably killed more saints and kept their deal with ultor.
Kazuo is too old-fashioned to succeed in America. Him taking over the gang Doomed it.
Man, this game had some amazing cutscene work. I think Saint's Row 3 had the best mechanical design, but 2 definitely had the best story. Vogel was such a great unctuous presence in all the stories, always hovering right on the edge of wanting to kill him because you KNOW he's up to something, and wanting him alive just to see where he's going with it. The goofy themes of the gangs were played with just enough restraint that they always felt like worthy foes.
I think 4, maligned as it often is, comes out the second strongest in terms of writing, mostly thanks to the character focus and return to the snappy, satisfying cutscene work of 2, and jettisoning some of the more, uh, uncomfortable humor of 3. I'm looking at Zimos.
I realized what I miss from 1 & 2 series. These cutscenes that explains whole conflict, not just from the protagonist’s eyes but also enemy too. Also these missions are missions, not activities parts.
Also Ronin s cutscenes sometimes reminds Japanese films mixed with awesomeness of the saints
Something sorely lacking in SR3.
SR4 was too full of plot holes.
Gat out of Hell never happened.
Who els felt realy satisfied when he got buried alive
I felt satisfied for going Mayweather on Jyunichi, and letting the flames of the ship burn Akuji eveytime I speedrun.
@itzblueberry AUTTP Cause you are disgusting...
Ya don't say? I love the chocolate kingdom, it’s because he’s not sick minded like you are.
He deserved it. Also,it was very funny to watch someone who was supposed to die with honor,to scream like a bitch.
Not really honestly they should buried Jessica alive
the sound effects, the direction, the style, the animation, the cutscenes on saints row 2 are the best in the business. Did the people who put in the work for these cutscenes seek better pastures after this game?
I've noticed that the Saints only seem to go mad quest for vengeance when they lose someone. First Saints, Lin died, so they went to kill William. Second Saints, Akuji has Aisha killed, they went to kill him. Jessica had Carlos die, so they went after him. 3rd. Phillipe Loren had Johnny kill, they so went after him. And finally, Zinyak blew up the Earth, killing SEVEARL friends of the Saints, and, of course, he died. Now I didn't say the Saints only kill when its vengeance, they'll kill to get rid of the competition, but they seem to be only hungry for vengeance, when they lose someone. Any other time, its just business as usual, and only time they spare someone (Donnie, Matt Miller, Viola,) is if it benefits them.
For the graveyard mission, i always prepare my character with a good set of suit
I don't care if my money is not enough, because i can get more anytime
Every playa must do this
I have to say I like Mr. Vogel as a villain. He’s is what I think when I think of psychopathic business men. He’s good with his words, seems trustworthy but is a liar, and only cares about himself and his business. Even in hell, he continues to build his company. Best game antagonist ever
0:12, I’m almost POSITIVE that Pierce’s plan was inspired by the Casino Heist missions from GTA San Andreas. Took me YEARS to make the connection, but the actual Caligula’s robbery plays out almost EXACTLY how Pierce said it, all complicated. Then you have Gat come in and rip the plan to shreds, typical Saints Row style. It took me YEARS to think of that connection, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m right!
this game is so funny and great,, in the beginning gat is almost getting the chair and now he is stabbed and he can go into the hospital without getting arrested.
The funny thing is seeing how the Playa and Gat think with the exact same brain which goes to probably show why they are basically best friends
Even though SR2 still had crass jokes and humour, God damn these scenes felt visceral and shootouts were actually tense.
Hard to believe this game was made by the same people who made that pile of crap Agents of Mayhem.
It hurts so much.
A Saints Row Remake is coming.

"I think the waiting part is very important" and "You really shouldn't" are such underrated lines from Vogel that are delivered brilliantly
I seriously enjoyed the animations in the cutscenes when I was younger. Made me feel like I was watching a movie!
saints row 1 and 2 really had a strong narrative. 3 was okay and fourth was just trash from a story perspective.
3 had trash writing, 4 although is ridiculous it had a coherent writing
Love how the boss is outmatched in someway by the other gang leaders.

Saints Row, I just love it! Those songs in Saints Row 2 just make me think what the Saints have been through! :/ I hope they will return to the gangster theme, I loved that theme, you like.. controlled an army/gang! I would continue the story like this: The Saints get sucked into a portal to a city like Steelport, since Zinjay said that time-traveling can restore it! They get sucked, and land on gangster-city, with new clothes, companies, gangs, cars etc. You still have Shaundi and Kinzie etc. You will need to start a gang, by doing missions and recruiting people, buying companies and stuff. It's also a crazy over-the-top game with nast and funny stuff! You will need to do missions to conquer a hood like in Saints Row 2, not the 3-4 style. You can customize cars, your gang, you can choose you're gang clothes too, not the colour though. Isn't it fun? I mean, people like the gang-theme, tell me if you like mine! Gonna send this to Volition!
