Now that the Dust has settled, Volition's Saints Row 2022 is fully "done" and I need to get all them PlayStation 5 trophies. ALL OF THEM. After well over a year of updates, patches and expansions, I figured it was time to give the game a fair shot ALL so you don't have to. Or maybe you should? YOU TELL ME.

    Visit drinktrade.com/eruption to sign-up and save $15 on select plans -- and get your first bag of coffee free! What did you think about Saints Row? I feel lucky that I didn't play the 1.0 version, those bug videos were pretty ridiculous. What's another game you'd like to see me deep dive into? TRUST ME, the poll choices will be tackled. Except maybe Skull and Bones, that looks like a nightmare.

    One thing that also occured to me as a major plot hole is that we never see these "student loans" and when you can raise a $100K in a day or two in game it makes you wonder just why the characters are living on the edge of being broke even when they have clearly been committing crimes on the side. It all doesn't make sense and makes playing feel even more pointless.

This one is mixed in with the Xenosaga Zohar (made by the same devs), which has the little protrusions from the sides, but no eye. It's such a specific crossover that only a diehard Xeno-fan would get, and it's something that kinda tickles me. Great video Austin, it's great to see your aork.

    The way Austin describes it. It may have been, but being tied to the title of Saints Row made many people ( myself included) really not like it. The amount of negativity in the comments of their announcement for the larping DLC truly showed people were disappointed and most probably never gave it a shot. I never bought any of the DLC just because the base game got too boring for me and started to feel more like a chore to play then fun. With Austin's review he had a buddy, but for me it was all Solo which truly made the game terrible lol.

    Like you I picked up the game for really cheap on a steam sale. The pacing feels sluggish at times which really really takes me out of the moment. The thing that really kills the game for me most is the gunplay. Weapons do ok damage but the accuracy is so slow that everything feels like a shotgun and makes even basic enemies feel spongy which only makes playing feel more like a chore. I will probably still finish the game but I won't be achievement hunting. It's not the worst game now but it's not a great game by any measure.

    Ironically, I disliked it for a somewhat opposite reason. They don't have enough seriousness to counter-balance the wacky. The wacky needs to exist in a serious world to have any impact. You kind of implied this with some of the SR2 execution clips, but I think extra wacky you want would just exacerbate the issue and lead to more unfunny humor.

    Saints row 1 would have been the way to reboot where they use the alternate ending where Julius is running through the alley to set up a second saints row 2 which has all the the characters and where Lyn is still alive in a wheelchair maybe and Donnie comes back to Lyn to take care of of her and tune the saints cars, this is where a reboot should have gone like a 1&2 continuous story spanning the equivalent of the original 1 & 2

    I have to disagree, the game, to me, is very deserving of the hate considering the series it spawned from. It is one of those times where people calling it an insult to the series are not exaggerating. It baffled me what they tried to pass off as a Saints Row game.

    @@channel45853 No it doesn't seem to succeed as a Saints Row game. The tone missed the mark incredibly hard. But as its own thing, to a gamer unacquainted with the other titles, seems like a pretty passable 6 or 7 outta 10 though. It's fine. If a sequel gets made, hopefully the ridiculous factor gets cranked up and they hire better writers.

    At 38:50, what's interesting is that this (the Zohar) isn't just a Xenogears reference, it's also one for Xenosaga and Xenoblade. It uses the eye from the Xenogears Zohar while using the colors and shape of the Xenosaga and Xenoblade Zohar/Conduit. It's a pretty important object that basically changed the worlds of the entire Xeno franchise games and serves as massive spoilers for characters like Pyra and Mythra in Xenoblade 2. Whoever put that there really knows their stuff.
