Saints Row 2 Is Still The Best and The Most Complete Game In The Series

Ойындар

On this week's episode of Under10Hours, we take a look at Saints Row 2, the followup to the well-received but often overlooked Saints Row. In this video we take a look at what makes this game the most complete release in the series and talk about how this game balances wacky gameplay and heavy themes.

    I don't know what is a bigger tragedy, the fact that volition barely recognise the first 2 games, the ending mistake of saints row 1 or that when most people think of saints row they think of the wackyness of 3 and 4 rather than the grounded story of the first 2 games

    When I was a kid my mom never let me play gta because of news outlets at the time. So because of this I had the opportunity to enjoy games such as true crime, and saints row. Saints Row 2 grew to be my most favourite game of the series due to the amount of weaponry you get and your character is an actual gangster, you have the choice to fight four different factions. Two of them being gang members, another being a Yakuza like gang and the fourth is corrupt ultor. It’s even more of a plot twist when you find you Julius is a traitor. The mini games were fun too like truck surfing, trying to see how long you balance on top of a moving truck.

    I liken Saints Row to the Evil Dead franchise. The first SR is a crime game with elements of comedy; The Evil Dead is a horror movie with elements of comedy. Saints Row 2 carefully balances action, drama, and humor, like how Evil Dead 2 balances horror, comedy, and fantasy. Plus, this is where their leads found their footing and became the badasses we know and love. Saints Row 3/4 is the Army of Darkness of the franchise. It turns up the action and humor, though the decision to do so divided the fanbase. Some liked the aliens and dildo bats, others didn't.

    Despite being commendable in intent, Julius's plan is fundamentally flawed. He forgot the most important rule about power: it abhors a vacuum. Even if the Saints managed to take out all three gangs and then disband themselves, new gangs would arise to take control. We even see this in the second game: having been out of commission for five years, three new gangs moved in to take the Saints' place. The only way to ensure that more gangs won't arise is to keep the Saints active.

    Volition really did have the perfect formula with SR2. A big diverse city, grounded story, interesting characters and whackiness on the side. They could’ve built on that and made a fantastic sequel/game in general. Following Dex to a new city should’ve been the way forward. I fail to understand why the game developers seem so adamant on steering as far away as possible from it with each instalment. I think it would’ve been better to arrive in Santo Ileso for the new Marshall job, knowing no one and then build from there.

    Right there, when you said "While GTA was going more realistic and tame, the world wanted something more Bombastic and wild" That is the definition of Saints Row and SR2 is the pinnacle of that. This is what SR'22 should of been, a GTA V Clone, but just as wild and as crazy as SR2 was against GTA IV, coming in with the most bizzare and most crazy of things this decade of internet has a problem with. They could of went against Cancel Culture, how everything is filmed for views, how people rather tweet than oppose. Yeah they would of gotten the Anitas, and the Twitter crew blasting their game, but that is whats needed SR'22 could of been something special if they went back to SR-2 levels of storytelling

    I replayed sr2 after a decade, and it actually lived up to my nostalgic memories. The frame rate is far worse than I remember, along with the controls and the AI but the driving is better than I remember, still crap though. Everything else just as cool as I remember. Aside from the unlocks maybe, 15% clothing discount? No barnstorm reward? The funniest part of the story is Pierce, he’s desperate to get in the action and murder people, ultimately he’s denied every chance for it and ends up as one of the few characters nothing bad happens to through the entire series, because nobody noticed him.

    The first game was a chore. Yes, it had great ideas and parts were seriously cool, i.e. the world building where there were characters all throughout the city, being able to break into stores at night, and the story was pretty good. But my GOD, was it an unforgiving game. The city wasn’t easily traversable, meaning certain side missions were absolutely a chore; the mayhem and car chases weren’t enjoyable because of the easy deaths, which also transferred into numerous story missions. I only managed to finish the game twice and couldn’t play any more for my own sake. The soundtrack wasn’t great either Then 2 knocked it out of the water. Had the same world building, but with much crazier mission designs, and again, real continuity between story and gameplay. The fact that you and Gat could raise a bit of carnage outside the story was cool for me, and I especially loved how much tighter the side-activities were. They were no longer a chore, and I almost forgot about the main story at times because I wanted to go beyond the infinite respect and just unlock shit to blow every gang member to the smithereens. What also made the game more enjoyable, was being able to actually sit back, enjoy each moment without the fear of having to restart an entire mission again (some in SR1 took a good 15 to 25 minutes to complete). What they had also done with 2 was take the stuff from 1 and ramp up the speed. Everything was faster, from the car chases to the gunfights, and far more explosive (again without the fear of having to tediously rethread everything). The absolute carnage that could occur in a car chase or shoot out was beyond anything I’d seen in a GTA game, with rag doll bodies flying in multitudes alongside bits of cars, glass from a shop window, or bits of suburbia getting absolutely annihilated mid-chase. Bear in mind, this came out a few months after GTA 4, and while I really loved 4, SR2 was the first time I had ever found a GTA-clone to be actually ON PAR or an EQUAL to the actual GTA, to the point that just MAYBE a few extra additions and it would have been better, (what sells GTA for me is setting and backdrop too) but in the end, SR2 is a game I honestly have absolutely no criticisms about. The soundtrack was much better this time around too.

    I played Saints Row 2 as my first Saints Row game when it was randomly made free on Steam in a sale like 7 years ago. I was still new to gaming and hadn't ever played a game like that before and I loved it. I loved the open world and the character customisation and the humour in the game. I've tried Saints Row 3 but I couldn't get into it. I don't fully connect with the lore cause I never played the first game but for me it's still the only one I need to play, and stands pretty well on its own.

    Saints row and saints row 2 story in both was the best written story in a gangster game I’ve experienced. Whoever wrote the story in both games and had the ideas definitely did a great job and needs to be recognized. These two games made the series. I remember playing saints row 3 being really disappointed how Johnny was “dead” and how they change shaundi. The game wasn’t bad like saints row 4 but it wasn’t the step in the right direction just the wrong one. The only thing I liked about saints row 3 was stag I thought they had fun and crazy missions and had a big boss feel compare to morning star.

    i think in the long run I will always enjoy saints row 3 and 4. those type of games are usually in my alley and I enjoyed plugging in hours in 4. i think if i had gotten the first two sr games for the 360 i would have a more better fondness for the series. I did recently try saints row 2 on ps plus and after 30 mins i dont know if i liked it at all. but watching this video made me enjoy what the og sr games did to bring a better balanced fun sr

    I First Learnt About SR this year. I saw through a part by part playthrough by A KZreadr of OG SR and i immediately fell in love with it. I watched the Playthrough from the same person of SR 2 too. It was great. Yesterday just finished playing SR 3 1st time and it was terrible compared to the Older ones. They completely Went Over the Top with the game the Ending left Me questioning my willingness to spend my time playing the game and the story and characters are forgettable at best. Such a Shame that they went from Vice Kings , Sons Of Samedi to The Deckers. The Syndicate weren't even an issue if you had a good story. Literally like Two Story based missions in and you're already taking out Loren. How can taking out a whole gang operation be This easy. There's no build up to the demise of the Morningstar leaders and an overall waste of an Antagonist with potential. I completed almost all the activities besides Hitman And Car Jacking but really felt empty inside like i was expecting something that wasn't there. It didn't really the same like SR and SR2. Although the activities were enjoyable , fun over the top ngl

    I completely agree with the title, I played the game yesterday (Aug. 26th) and compared to one; the activities are so much more fun than the rest of the series. I didn't even do missions until I had finished a good handful of activities. From the rest of the series I didn't like much, other than insurance fraud and Genki's Murder Time or something like that. P.S Of course I love the story of 2, Liked 1, mildly indifferent to 3, and okay with 4.

    The thing I love about saints row 2 is that the story wasn't over the top nor did it try to make it super funny or whacky, it did have it's moments when it's dark, funny or had some lore to it but when saints row 3 and 4 came along the series wasn't the same.
