When the reboot of Saints Row was announced, many people were wary due to the tone and presentation during the trailer. In August of 2022, the game was released and it turned out to be a complete failure. It has an extremely poorly written story and characters and lackluster, repetitive and clunky gameplay. The team that worked on the game was reassigned due to its failure and there are so few people passionate about this game that the Fandom Wiki pages remain barebones.
Let’s take a look at this abysmal game.
The original video got Yellow $ so I had to edit and reupload.

The whole sjw aspect wouldn't be as bad if the gameplay wasn't so "arcady" requiring next to no skill to play…even the old saint row was like that
For some reason, I'm getting flashbacks to when I was playing Sunset Overdrive. don't worry, that game isn't bad.
I loved Saints Row, this was disappointed
This game is absolute cringe but hearing someone whining on about "wokeness" and "snowflakes" with such vigor is a little ironic.
After this game, i am happy that people saw that there can exist much-much worse Saints Row game than The Third.
The mad lad did a three hour hit piece on this trash lol just found your channel, definitely happy i did
Volition is so insistent that these new characters are better than the old saints and you would feel comfortable welcoming them into your home but there is no way in hell I'd want these new saints in or anywhere near my house.
Alien Row surpasses this game
The helicopter shooting range isn’t that wacky. USA has a place where you drive tanks and can shoot them
I'll say it for you Cree, F*CK YOUTUBE.
George the common sense henchman scene honestly made me laugh. That on its own, is a funny skit.
This game looks so garbage lmao
Rip Saints Row
As I'm watching this, I keep looking back at all the commentary from the dev studio about how they "aren't backing down from this"…hope it paid off.
Thank god for playstation share lol my homie played it and let me download it and that game is trash! Literally saints row 3 remaster was like 3x better
I prefer the term…
Detritus.
Or a complete cluster Phoque, which is French for seal but because of what it sounds like…
Ah French class my junior year. Maybe senior. I'm old. I don't remember. I just recall it was me and one other dood in a class of 40.
Big brained play old young Ryan.
I also got into trouble because I picked the most French name for the class to be called.
Logan.
Teacher berated me about it from day 1 until the last day of class.
Hey. Don't judge my oldmanrant. To quote Grandpa Simpson "It'll happen to you toOoOOOo".
Replaying saints row 2 on steam deck. First time since it came out on 360. Game is Still Amazing and i was a kid back then so fun to play as a 27 yr old getting a more mature insight
I couldn't even watch theradbrad play it. That means something lmao
Ive been trying to figure out why i give this game so much more leeway than most ppl. Then i realized its probably because i play the game on silent while i listen to podcasts or my ipod. I pay no attention to the dialogue, and im usually smoking a bowl on my porch during end of mission cutscenes. They shouldve swapped out the three douchebags for three of the other side characters, i actually kinda liked Kia (i mean "Gwen") and the unnamed govt guy you do the gay wingsuit missons for, they both wouldve made better liuetenents. That said, im still going to replay it a couple times, volume on mute of course. I have to admit, i really liked the map, a massive improvement over the living abortion known as Steelport (the definition of cheap, ugly, generic, and lazy).
Enough ranting… great video man! You were completely on point with all these douchey characters. I like how you played cutscenes from this game and compared similar scenes to previous games. Especially the Neena/Carlos scene comparsion, almost forgot how heavy that scene with Carlos was…
Funny how the game tries to present the boss as being in the right, even though the Boss was the one not following directions, talking back nonstop and pretty much being stupid, but mad they didnt get a bonus and fired for their own screw up. We're supposed to think that was unfair.
Is it weird that at about the 2-hour mark I realized the video is just over 3.5 hours long?
Also, to shoot the cops that appear on the overpass, go underneath them and fire your rpg at the underside of the bridge. The blast radius will get them.
What I find odd is why they thought RimJobs and Freckle Bitches was too far but have a joke about "horse testicles swinging in the wind" that one of the devs said he found hilarious. Were they told to get rid of some jokes over others? A clever innuendo is bad but overt depictions of animal genitals is cool. I see.
They just try so hard it’s cringe. Started after saints row 2
you sound like Kip from Napoleon Dynamite (no offense)
I'll just watch it again
5:19 One thing you can say about The Boss in the original series is they earned the right to be goofy. The Saints were established through SR1 & SR2 before the whacky went off track so in a way the Saints had the right to be cocky and smart-mouthed they had already walked the walk.
