I mentioned this in the LP Discord, but I just finished watching #10 and I can't get over the fact that Donnie's great plan was to jack four Raycasters. Those things are a dime a dozen anywhere in the city!  Also fun fact, that pier where the car was pushed off is where Playa later ambushes Donnie in #2!

 Episode 13: Kingdom Come Hey, we finally got to the Johnny Gat factory! It's time to tackle the Vice Kings in what is quite easily the best of the gang mission chains in the original Saints Row - not that the bar is set especially high.

 Episode 14: Pretenders to the Throne More dissension among the Vice Kings ranks as the Playa and Gat cause some mayhem (while very poorly disguised) to get the police's attention on the Kings. Speaking of Gat, this is the first time we really see him in action and... well... we're not very impressed just yet. DMorbid fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Sep 23, 2021 |

The commentary is weird overlapping during the ride back to the church during the first mission.

This mission reminds me of the problem I have with Tanya - whenever she speaks (and especially when she’s pouting in the limo) I can only hear Meg Griffin. Which makes it very hard to take her seriously!

Reupload with corrected audio is up, 360p only at the moment but it should get around to processing eventually. I've replaced the links in the update post accordingly.

Hey, someone actually does tell Tanya to shut up in this video. Haven’t really noticed the election up until now, honestly. Maybe it will be important later? Uh, Warren, you are aware that a gun held loosely with the safety on, is no power at all, right?

Of course it's Troy's crew who show up to throw a wrench in the already ramshackle plan, and they manage to loose sight of a slower and less agile vehicle which sticks out like a sore thumb too. Complete morons.

Considering what they try and turn Gat into in later games, I found what happened to him this episode to be really funny. And the Playa once again walks into a room and gets hit in the back of the head by someone who was hiding behind the door. I'm getting Farcry 3 flashbacks here.

I really wish they'd given Tanya some proper clothes for her final appearance. Or in general. I get that she was a hooker, but did she really have to go around dressed like a working girl all the time? This series has issues with women, and Tanya still wearing lingerie after taking over the Vice Kings sits particularly poorly with me.

Yeah, the other management are all in suits, why isn't she dressed to match? *In before someone tells us her outfit is actually fancy formal wear.*

 Episode 16 (FINAL): Salting the Earth The three main gangs are gone, and the 3rd Street Saints rule the streets of Stilwater. But weren't we just supposed to clean up the streets? What do we do once that's done? Well, let's just finish up some odds and ends for that 100% completion (as well as show off some stuff that isn't part of 100%), then we can go get Julius back from police custody and figure out what to do next. We have all the time in the world.

Congratulations on finishing the game, thanks for the LP. I was disappointed with the ending, but it fits the game, I guess. In the end, Keith David denied us everything, even our revenge. At least, until the sequel.

When this came out, was it said whether this was intended to be a final end to the Playa, or were they already thinking about SR2? While they clearly wrote around it in the next game, that ending seems like it was intended to be permanent...

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised this game did well enough to get a sequel. Seems like a mostly unremarkable GTA clone. Thanks for the LP!

And yeah, I think Saints Row kinda came out at the exact right time to make a splash. The Xbox 360 had been out for less than a year and didn't have that many heavy hitters yet, so a competent HD GTA clone with some fun mechanics and quality of life improvements was just what the doctor ordered for a lot of folks, especially since GTA IV was still a ways off and hadn't even been properly revealed.

For how... abrupt the ending is, I actually really like it. Thoughts below: All game Julius is portrayed as wanting to clean up the streets, not rule them. It's how he gets introduced, and it gets expanded pretty heavily in all his history/interactions with King in the vice kings section. I actually really like that the player, like the Playa, fails to consider that there was still one gang left(2 if you count stillwater's very corrupt cops). There's little hints he'll pull the bombing; enough to look obvious in retrospect, but not tip you off at the time.

Feels like they didn't really do anything with Troy being an undercover cop in the end. He's, what, a minor nuisance in one of the Vice Kings missions? Aside from not wanting to be tackling that gang in the first place (presumably because his fellow cops were in deep with them) that's the only real indication he has any conflict of interests, and nothing particularly set up that the Saints were being betrayed from within. That whole epilogue feels a bit rushed to me.

I've always liked the ending to this game. It's really the only definitive way to close out this story. You were a useful instrument, but there was no way that someone like you could be part of Julius's plans long-term. The only bit that doesn't really work is that Gat survived. But maybe Julius had the same sort of sentimental attachment to him as to Ben King, so the plan was for him to be arrested all along.Cythereal posted:Honestly, I'm kind of surprised this game did well enough to get a sequel.

For all the violence and mayhem Gat created in life, he deserves an apparent violent death at some point in the future followed by a long period of imprisonment and an extended journey through Hell. Which, if you follow the series, is exactly what he gets.

Quiet Python posted:Did anyone else play Agents of Mayhem? I don't know much about AoM's actual development so I may be completely wrong here, but from playing the game I got the idea that it didn't have much of a budget to begin with, and what it did have ran out long before the game was finished. It's nowhere near the worst thing I've ever played, but I don't know what AoM's target audience was supposed to be in the first place and I was not at all surprised the game bombed as hard as it did.
