One of the most fun super hero games I’ve played. Maybe that’s not what some people wanted out of Saints Row game but they committed to it so I respect it.

I have a lot of nostalgia for Saints Row 4 because it was the first M-rated game I ever played (I grew up in a household that didn't let me play M-rated games till I turned 17), but replaying the game recently, I still think it's insane fun. Did it jump the shark? Yes, but I commend Volition for going "F*ck it" and creating the most bats*it superhero game ever made. I understand why some SR fans hate it, but personally, I love it.

Do you think Roddy Piper stays in heaven because he, too, fears what Volition has created?

It took me a couple of tries to get into this one. I kept getting lost around the time early on when you have a lot of side missions and no main ones to do. Later on after completing 3 for the first time ever, I came back to try it again, and I loved every minute. The story is kinda pasted together sure, but I love the callbacks, movie references, and admittedly stupid ending credit scene. The whole game is like a B movie showing your favorite characters way out of their element and just having fun. I see IV more as a cast member afterparty to the series than a true finale and I’m okay with it. Lots of “remember when?” moments and just sheer mayhem in between. They took the over the top nature that SR was known for and just pushed it as far as humanly possible as a last hoorah and I love it for that. I know they aren’t necessary but using the vehicles as much as you can and tying them in with the superpowers makes for the best experience. It just feels a little unnatural at first to force yourself to use less efficient methods of transport. While SR2 and 3 have the most nostalgia for me, IV is just something special, even if it’s an acquired taste. Love your reviews and can’t wait to see what you think of the reboot

SR is one of the few games that just doesn't take itself seriously. Instead of mediocre story and gameplay is gives us comic relief story with over the top gameplay, AND just goes "dafuq is balance" and gives you anything stupid you might want. The game is a blessing.

Never played these Saints Rows games before, but I am now highly interested and just ordered all four of them in anticipation for the new one coming out.

I wish Shaundi and Gats homie banter was a cutscene. IT's a really heartfelt yet small convo but you completely miss it if you don't call them to the simulation together.

Didnt know you could change the music on the dubstep gun, mann gonna have to check this out

This is where my love for Saints Row died😂😂😂

I adore this game especially the infamous Dubstep Gun made the game a lot more fun

I love this game it was hard to say goodbye when I finished it

I fucking love this game I understand how over the top it is and how it strays so far from the serious games but it is so much fun. It is just a blast and so funny playing this overtop parody game.

2bad you didnt mention loyalty missions. I realy liked them and I think they were actually very good, well, most of them. Some great interactions between characters. Yes, superpowers > cars when it comes to tranportation but it didnt stop me from collectiong and tuning all the stock cars in the game. I like to call the crew and just drive in the cars from activity to activity. When you summon a car, your crew gets automatically teleported inside. That's a good way to group up with npcs.

I don’t think I’ve seen a group of developers have such a disdain for their own series like Volition

I’m curious to get your reaction to the new Saints Row reboot 👀👀👀

I'll be honest - I'm a story driven personn, and don't really see anything after SR 2 as cannon.

Playing this game as Senator Armstrong makes the game a lot better

Ah, it's my personal Matrix simulator. I always put on the "Neo" look at the shop and have a blast. I'm just glad this was my first saints row because after going back and playing the older games I can see why the fanbase was disappointed with the directions the story took.

That dialogue on Freckle Bitches as aged so poorly with that reboot lol

Maybe it was a little bit too far from what SR used to be, but it was so fun. It was just what now the reboot it's not but should be

i cant wait until the reboot video lmao

New sub here. I've been enjoying ya Saints Row content. I borrowed Saints Row 4 from a friend, some years back and didn't finish it. I didn't even bother with Gat out of Hell. I simply tolerate The Third for its improvement to the gunplay and driving. 9:32 That's the same way I felt about IV referencing 1 & 2. I remember Angry Joe said this game "felt sorta like a love letter to the franchise with many throwbacks to its story history", but I took it as a slap. I don't even care about the Shaundi stuff. I still find her change of personality annoying.

U10h out there making the most handsome british boss (but also sticking to real world british proportions). I gotta respect that

LMAO Why is the boss built like E.T?

HIT THAT BELL!

Although I absolutely hate what they did story wise in 3 and 4, and especially 4, I have to admit 4 is actually fun to play because of the difference in gameplay. The superpowers were quite fun. It just would've been better if they made a different IP and used the storyline of 4 for that game.

I actually just finished all 4 of the saints row games again just because the reboot is coming out so soon

Make no mistake, this is a superhero game

Sounds like Sargent Johnson from halo lol

One of the only games that I actually have 100% multiple times Lol. Never even did that with SR2 which I far prefer. But this one is one of the most fun games I have ever played. Also the story might suck but damn is Zinyak such good villain. Easily my favourite Antagonist in the entire series and the only one that was actually a legit threat to the Boss.

Hold up if gat was alive the whole time who the fuck is the zombie gat what was in the hearse in sr3 in the cutscene where killbanes blows up the bridge

Yea I ALWAYS use the money cheats when playing these games so the inferior weapons were never a problem for me. Just gimme upgraded guns already and lemme have fun instead of wasting my time.

I played this for the first time this week along with Gat Out of Hell after finally playing SR3 prior to it. I hated SR4 when I first started playing it but by the end I absolutely loved it. The writing, the parodies, the ridiculousness of it all, and it even had me laughing out loud at some parts. It may seem insane but the writing and references were really smart and it was a cohesive story while being absolutely shit house crazy on top of it. I actually enjoyed the reboot. It was fun for what it was. But going back and playing the older entries I can see why fans of the series were disappointed. It is nowhere near the quality. And I still haven’t got to SR2 yet.

I… don’t know if I like Saints Row 4, on one hand, I liked parts of it, the opening that references Call of Duty and Medal of Honor, where you plant a charge on a wall and slow mo kill everyone in the room like it’s a level out of Modern Warfare 2, I loved that. That part in the last mission, when you get the power armor, and The Touch by Stan Bush starts playing made me smile from ear to ear. One the other hand, I hate the super powers, they make the cars and other vehicles completely useless and after the opening, the story has very little structure, I had to force myself to finish it. All in all, I still love the original Saints Row, I have a ton of nostalgia for it, and just want the reboot to go back to it’s root, a bunch of plucky, no name people trying to get to the top…

I remember these graphics looking wayyyyy better 😳

And keith David is the voice for both js

This game really is one of the video games of all time!

I still adore this game for how balls to the wall crazy it is, the excellent needle drops, but yea, the story felt like they were running out of time, which they probably were (wasn't this when THQ basically ceased to exist?) Cause like you barely get super powered Kenzie and then the ending happens, even if you wanted to you never really got to fool around with her, a lot of the characters from 3 just had a bridge dropped on them. Also it's glitchier than previous games... like I never mess with homies even super powered ones cause if I sprint anywhere they get lost, and mind over murder just feels like it needed a few more passes I've never managed gold.

This game just kinda looks like you have mods and cheats on all the time.

This was the worst saints row for me. Currently completing saints row 2 before 5 is released. I can't put myself through playing 3 and especially 4 again!

Will you do gat out of hell?

I hope this new one is good i really gonna be upset

Saint's Row IV was at least fun, the Third just sucked ass. But SR2 is still the best.

My favorite saints row game but 2 and 3 are great games as well😌

You can change your voice though so the British accent is irrelevant when coming to president. Also you need to be born in the US. While very rare you could be born in US and still have a foreign accent.

The game Honestly feels more like something you don’t have to take seriously and just enjoy it, it’s ridiculous but it’s on purpose

I didnt like SR3, i dont like SR4 and i dont like the SR reboot, they went too wacky and stupid

I don’t get why people are hating on the game, it’s pretty awesome
