Description:
Saints Row 2 is set years after the original Saints Row in a Stilwater both familiar and strange. The explosive conclusion to Saints Row has left the player wounded, betrayed and thirsty for revenge, and now it's time to take back the city that has forgotten him. A sequel to the first open-world title on next-generation consoles, Saints Row 2 features all new customization options, including gender, age, voice, crib and gang customization. The sandbox just got larger with a totally transformed and expanded city of Stilwater, offering all new locations to explore with new vehicles, including motorcycles, boats, helicopters and planes. Saints Row 2 is playable online in 2-player co-op through the entire single-player campaign or in the all new open-world competitive multiplayer mode never before seen in the genre.

“Space-age shit.” “SWAT team from Hell.”
This is foreshadowing too many things.
The only thing that didn't come true is their choice of weapon, as I recall the XM8 never made it into mass production.
@@richardsavings6690 interestingly, they never use that gun in-game. They use m16 s instead
@@richardsavings6690who runs with Ultor with these SWAT teams packing some weapons to make a billion-dollar company of Ultor?
"Hey as long as you don't come after me and mine you can go to mars for all I care"
-The boss to Griffin
@@xulnad this is our city now whatever we do this is what we do *I built I watch and now I'm active*
I think Vogel's death is supposed to liken him to Icarus, his ambition caused him to fly too close to the sun and then after he was shot in the mouth he came crashing back down to earth.
Couldn’t say it better
Also fitting that his name means "Bird" in German
Not really how I'd read into it personally, but for what it's worth: the name Vogel means "Bird" in both Dutch and German, so in terms of symbolism that does line up well with Icarus' feather wings.
The fact that Ultor’s Logo is The Sun, I’d say this is pretty accurate.
Damn, never caught how deep and well written Saints Row 2 was as a teenager.
Anyone remember when Saints Row was about gangs and not Aliens and Demons
move on
Who invited the new people to add new ideas there not supposed turn it in to a 9 year old game but now I know why the dj from playback fm radio station was talking about aliens from gta San Andreas and they did zemos the auto tune guy dirty with that gimp stuff using him as a horse I would fire who ever have new ideas cauz they don't know what we want
@@emmanueldeng2899 Fun fact, the same guy directed the story of Saints Row 1, 2, 3 and 4, but said he was bored of gangster stuff after SR2. And after the alien mess, he simply left lol
he can be tired all he wants its his fault for choosing the gangster idea so thats like saying "im tired of dickies jeans, baggy t shirts, af1's and chucks im gonna wear some skinny jeans" but like 2pac says "we dont gotta dress up and be hollywood" and the saints row members that survived in saints row 1 wont have time to hit switches in their 6 4 impalas or watch their rims spin with spinners they would be like "damn what happened to my city im going to liberty city or los santos forget stilwater im not banging nomo yall rich kids can kill the monsters" then the presidents soldiers that was in the war wont make it to see their fams in saints row 4 cauz they cant fight zinyacks soldiers if there gonna make saints row 5 then they gotta show them where saints row from the ghetto came from and bring spinners and hydraulics back and no girls with high heels the girls need running shoes like the boys got in saints row 1
Yup
Pierce: Fuck you mean "Dont worry about it" these guys are packing space-age shit
*MEANWHILE IN SAINTS ROW 3*
Lord Shogo Suddenly, STAG! Prepare the Dadelus.
and especially 4

I miss hippie Shaundi. She was spacey, but awesome too.
Fun shaundi i do To Saints row 3 sucks ass
yuri Death The first two Saints Row's are the only real ones.
In SR3 she is a pain in my ass...
At least it was great to see her again in saints row 4 even though it wasn't a saints row game but it was still fun though
Idk sbout her personality in SR3, but in the 3rd SR game she looks better
This is when Saints Row used to be good.
TheProfessional I found u here lol, but I agree
Well, when Saints Row took itself somewhat seriously, which honestly holds up better in the long run
TheProfessional this was my first saints row I saw the trailers that had the guy from under siege and point break and I was hooked I played it for ages then I got stuck because I didn’t know you had to do the side missions before you could face the main bad guy the first main bad guy I faced was the head of the brotherhood I can’t remember his name so I will just call him scar face favourite mission was killing the brotherhood members being freed I still remember climbing into that plane and strafing the boats
Well it's time for space shit again! Deal with it
SR will comeback to line just like COD
While the bar scene was badass, i cant get over the fact he straight used that baretender as meat shield
best part is he didn't even had to do it, he could just jump under the bar counter with her and counter was high enough to provide cover for both of them but nope, boss is just a stupid animal.
He basically made Vogal a good guy pulling that shit, way to NOT make yourself look like villain!
DeShawn Bridget did y’all forget that he’s a fucking gangbanger not a fucking priest right?
I didn't like that either, all he really had to do was simply dive behind the counter, using her as a shield was pretty cold.
@@raihanbaid367 Least he's not a pedo like some Catholic priests are.
@@raihanbaid367 literally
legend says jonny gat till this day hasnt ran out of ammo 😨
Jesus Ventura WTF
The Troll it’s true man gat has the unlimited ammunition cheat on
@@rednation149 he been playing Hitman that has you get the Unlimited Machine gun unlock
The Sky Bandit TheBandit025 man I miss playing that game classic PS3 games
He's the video game Chuck Norris.
Saints Row: The only game where a guy trying to clean a city of crime is depicted as the bad guy
Well, he's not doing it with kindness in his heart. And to be fair, your character isn't so great either.
Borderlands 2? Handsome Jack?
@@Rad-Dude63andathird He showed his ideal community, the Boss was mad that he was trying to take away his playground.
Gentrification *is* a bad thing though. By raising property values you are raising the cost of living, which pushes out the poor who can no longer afford to live in that area. Even if Dane supposedly had good intentions, he is still screwing over a large group of people.
Danes intentions were pure power. Come on he had gangs fighting each other. He wanted to clean the streets to gain support from the rich and political figures. The only good Dane actually did was compromise the pyramid. Other then that he had all the other board members killed. All because he was asked to fix the war he started. He did more then just try to clean the streets.
Hey Shaundi you date any who worked at a place called pyramid
Shaundi : No
Pierce : For real ?
😂😂😂😂
FOR REAL?!!!!
Back when shaundi was gross the entire time when I was playing sr2 I thought she had aids from fucking everyone in stillwater.
Why she quit drugs
@@nicktechnubyte1184why didn't she remember the pyramid of Ultor?
@@darrellnichols1380 no, she didn't remember whether or not she dated someone at the pyramid!
Ultor Security Services is pretty badass. There's really a company sort of like this trying to stop gangs in Detroit called "Threat Management Specialists".
Avenging Angel That's make sense since Stilwater suppose to be in Detroit.
Sooooooooo How is the gang situation in detroit?????
Haha. Classic.
@@ChrisSealy1997They are probably busy with that recent riot outbreak on their Mars complex. They'll get back to you soon hopefully ;).
@@leogamer9793 You mean Michigan? Detroit is a city.
"You have the saints number one fan running ultor"
Sends out a team to wipe out their gang
Dane Vogal also worked with the Ronin
Xulnad and brotherhood
Vogel was a decent villain. But his involvement with the Brotherhood was forced since Maero literally almost dropped his ass off the tower.
Dane is just an asshole, he uses everyone who can get him to the top, even at the end he tried to convince the saints that he is in their side
But as a villian he really is good, I mean, he is the first virtual villian that I hate like this
@@atlasreborn7221 and don’t forgot he tried to look into the Saints but during the period they were gone and Julias went into hiding. Hence he went to the Ronin
There’s an issue with Dane’s plan. He says “gangs”. By the time you get to this part of the story, there’s only one gang lol
I think the point is that this entire time, that was dane's strategy (feeding the saints information about the akuji hotel). Like you're just experiencing a recap or a Ludonarrative conflict
he want's stillwater to be clean and sober forever!
The initial clip might be a flashback of sorts from before the Ronin, Brotherhood and SoS were wiped out. Like Vogel just waited until all three gangs were taken out of the picture, then tried to cut the head of the last snake.
Didn't work, obviously.
Gangs come and go, some are crippled, some are killed off completely and new ones are born in their place. The Saints was meant to be a vigilante type gang (Ironic sense they still contributed to the majority of the issues plaguing the city) meant to combat the issues ruining Stilwater but as Julius said The Saints fixed nothing and only added to an already bad situation.
Good point
"Space aged shit" oh pierce if only you knew how low the series would go.
The gentrification program was meant to be comedic... *_but it's actually accurate_*
Its been a thing ever since cities became cities
This is my first time watching Saints Row 2, and when Dane used the Saints to attack the cruise, I thought that it was very smart and manipulative of him. Using his enemies to kill his enemies. I like Vogel.
Vogel was still a coward who had armed men do the dirty work for him.
"SWAT team from hell..."
love that line
You know, if this gamewas able to really capture realism in how Dane died, his body would probably look like spaghetti once it hit that ground.
Player:Hey Shaundi,you date anyone who worked at a place called the pyramid?
Shaundi:No...
Pierce:For real?
Pierce is funny as fuck.
SR2 pierce is cool
your a mistake created by god and Sr3/4
@@ajd599 he is one of the only charachters who stays similar in personality between 2,3 and 4.
@@Agentohyeah Nah, Boss is very similar too. He is just a little less violent in SR3.
7:05
God damn, that was so badass back in the day...
Swift UAV Eargasm
Weird that jonny in saints row 3 looks nothing like how he looked in 1 and 2
PokedexGameplay Yeah, they changed a lot of characters appearances within Saints Row 3. Shaundi and Pierce didn't look the same neither.
PokedexGameplay Yeah We Also Never Seen How Johnny Died But In Saints Row 4 We Get To See What Happened He Never Died So Why In SR3 Did Shaundi Say He Did
Well she could never know he was still alive
well, I like to change how I look you would do the same thing.
+PokedexGameplay Image As Designed is a hell of a drug.
then this guys turns hell into a business the end...
Kechi PlaysTheWorld Is Dane Vogel in Gat out of Hell?
yah...
he went to hell and turned it into a business
Kechi PlaysTheWorld I need to play it then. I had no idea he was in that game.
XD go for it man its pretty sick
***** Spoiler alert.There is Vogel,Viola and Kiki,Shakespeare,Vlad Tepes (The Impaler,I think,but he's called Vlad Tepes in my country) and Blackbeard,Man,helluva game.
6:57 Security guard Wilhelm occupied a dull job up until this point. The hazard pay offered to take out Gat could've paid his bills for years.
Could've......
Well with that kind of bill, he'd be two days from his retirement
Lol love when people know wilhelm
And just 2 days from retirement
😂😂😂
i was today years old when i realized dane sent the invitation to the yacht party with the ultor board of directors because he wanted a promotion. wow i feel stupid.
2:11 The most weakest "Go,Go,Go!" I've ever heard.
most of this game has really great VA but I genuinely laughed out loud during my playthrough
I thought he was saying 'move, move, move'
Ah, Ultor... Been fighting them since Red Faction 1.
They was in another game?
***** Red Faction 1 was the first game Ultor has been the main antagonist in.
Andrew Cartee Saints row 4 really let me down.
Sorry it did that. I liked it.
Red faction is the true sequel to saints row 2
Its crazy what perspective does, ultor are objectively the good guys in this
At least untill red faction 1.
i wonder if your grasp on reality has improved since you wrote this comment
well you're kind of the villain anyways, and i think that's fine.
Not really. Dane Vogel, and by extension Ultor, planned to take over Stillwater by increasing Gang violence and use it as an excuse to try to take over the city. They created the problem and were going to sell the solution; that was spelled out in very first Ultor Cutscene.
Ultor is a corrupt organization.
2:48 best pierce quote ever
If pierce wasnt his lieutenant and just some random dude, he would be dead by then. He just has a soft side for his friends
This game was a masterpiece
Masterpiece indeed
If only Pierce knew how true his words at 2:42 would turn out to be.
But why would the boss to kill those Ultor Swat team?
Player: Its done, time to pull outta there.
Gat: You sure-- GET THE FUCK OFFA ME!! *Gunfire*.... I mean, im not running out of ammo any time soon.
I laughed way to hard Lmfaoo
Same here I died laughing when I first played
If you finish all of the Ultor missions, you becoming the King of Stilwater.
I felt bad for the bartender girl at 2:13 :c
😂
Lol
I always thought it was hilarious
I feel like an idiot for being sensitive
I ain’t the only one though at least
If Ultor had successfully wiped out the Saints in "Saints Row 2," it would have brought about a significant shift in the game's storyline and dynamics. Let's explore some potential implications:
1. Loss of the Saints' criminal empire: The eradication of the Saints would mean the end of their criminal empire, resulting in a power vacuum within Stilwater. Other rival gangs or factions may seize the opportunity to fill this void and establish dominance over the city.
2. Disruption of alliances and relationships: The destruction of the Saints would sever alliances they had formed with other characters or groups throughout the game. This could lead to strained relationships, shifting loyalties, and potential conflicts between former allies who must now navigate a changed landscape.
3. Resistance against Ultor: While the Saints may have been wiped out, it doesn't necessarily mean that all hope is lost. Surviving members or new characters could rise up to form a resistance against Ultor's control, seeking justice for their fallen comrades and fighting to reclaim their city.
4. New protagonists emerge: With the Saints gone, players might assume control of new protagonists who are part of this resistance movement or individuals seeking revenge against Ultor. This would introduce fresh perspectives and allow players to experience the game from a different point of view.
5. Exploration of corporate corruption: The success of Ultor in wiping out the Saints would shine a spotlight on the corrupt practices and influence of powerful corporations within the game's universe. This could lead to a deeper exploration of themes related to corporate greed, exploitation, and the fight against oppressive systems.
6. Redemption and rebuilding: If some members of the Saints survive or new characters emerge, they may embark on a journey of redemption and rebuilding. They could seek to regroup, gather resources, and form new alliances in order to take down Ultor and reclaim their former status as a formidable criminal organization.
Cool stuff
Dane Vogel sent the package letting the Saints know about the boat to kill the people in the cutscene before.... Just caught that.
Wow the bartender was giving the boss the fuck me eyes he uses her as a shield
+D Ego A7X desperate times dude
+Chucky Masciano yeah I guess you're right
Nah more like "You fokkin wot m8?"
1v1 mi m8 no1 focks in mi swamp!
yeah, she was "fucked" alright
A pity that ultor mission begins after 3 gangs were took off, it would be more complicated if the thugs and Suits works at the same time.
Well ultor were involved with the ronin and brotherhood story's quite a lot
@@willbaker6532 meh, Maero only got Ultor involved because he couldn't handle shit by himself
@@GLASSMOSCOWANDBEIJING Which really implies that the Brotherhood was never going to be top dog no matter what 😂
Rest in peace saints row 1&2
So saints row is one big prequel to red faction?
kind of, SR and Red Faction are made by the same Dev, kind of a nod.
Yep
7:05 and 7:16 easily the most satisfying sniper sounds I've ever heard. Damn.
4:50 Finally you switch up his outfit!
The way Pierce called the Ultor Masako soldiers "S.W.A.T team from hell" XD
The Boss mentality got more and more sane the more power he gained
Not if you count the secret mission with Julius as the final mission of the game. Shows that he's a borderline sociopath who doesn't forget and doesn't forgive. Who's been corrupted by absolute power and turned into the thing he swore to destroy in SR1.
4:59 really pierce You're gonna go there....
The thumbnail looks like an evil James Charles. Wait a minute, James Charles already is an evil person...
Show of hand- how many knew that the lighter that playa tossed on the bar belonged to that of Lin?
✋🏽✋🏽✋🏽✋🏽✋🏽✋🏽
That's one of many easter eggs from part one that's in part two that not too many ppl caught onto. I'm glad you noticed that too👌🏾
I knew they weren’t straight laced but still bad move killing that bystander bartender, BOSS! You actually made vogal speech true
He doesnt care, thats the great thing about this series is you are playing as a bad guy and they dont bother to sugar coat it.
I like how the bar lady is staring like hitting on him and he uses her a a shield I gusse u can say
_ytasdemon butler22 kinda fucked up
6:58 Wilhelm scream lol
0:13 - 0:43
I like to think this was the pitch meeting for the Saints Row reboot.
7:27 this is the type of shit that made saints row 2 funny
Masterpiece
Saints Row 2: Remastered would be amazing
Yeah it would that game was my childhood hood
I think if I were him, I would've try to make a deal with Dane Vogel or something...
Too bad the protagonist is irrational and has no empathy :P
Maya Peoples Yeaahhh... You have a point. But hey, he came back for Gat Out of Hell, which was nice. I really liked Dane Vogel. Just the name is cool.
herpaderp1470 i agree but if it was me i would make a deal and work with him as partners and help him :) lol
So i put that as part of the agreement an exchange i wouldn't be part of a gang anymore, hahaha lol
Maya Peoples Only because his colleagues/higher ups made him do it. I don't think he tried to interfere with the saints when he was in charge. Though he didn't have a long time to be in charge. Dane cared about wealth more than people. The saints, owning most of the town and arguably the most wealthy part of Stilwater, the part the Ronin and Vice Kings owned, could provide Dane with a good income while having a corrupt supper power on the side of the Saints. They could free any Saints row members in prison for example. And they'd pretty much in a way have control of the police and the entire stilwater.
Also Dane didn't betray the Ronin. The leader of the ronin (The older guy) didn't agree with his son's decision to work together with Dane because the Ronin in his eyes should be powerful without any outside help.
Also the only reason Ultor didn't work together with the saints before the Ronin was because the leader dissappeared, Troy became chief of police, Dex joined ultor, Gat was pretty much doomed by the legal system, and the main character was in a coma.
Edit: Don't get me wrong, he's a selfish dick, but not undealable with. Killing him wasn't a bad move. But keeping him alive might've helped the saints as well.
herpaderp1470 The Boss does have some empathy. He displays loyalty toward friends, and even performed a mercy killing on Carlos. It's just that he's a power hungry gang boss who can't afford to show any weakness. He's also not irrational, as he displays an eye for tactics throughout the game. Maybe if Vogel had actually offered him a deal he would have said yes, but that never happened.
Mannnnnn so many memories of when this came out
6:58 Even the Ultor Wilhelms suffered losses.
I remember the first time i saw that nightclub raid scene there was badass music playing
It's really too bad Carlos wasn't there to finish taking back the city with them
7:44 he leaps through the spinning blades of the helicopter..
Putis Spencer only by inches, not through.
Maybe Protag took offense to Dane calling himself their #1 fan? :D
I wish they can remake this game with the graphics
Ahhh those were the days
I just realized that Vogel sent the letter to the saints leader to be promoted after all theses years
8:35 Best screenshot
That was savage how Boss used that bartender as a shield.
8:35 I will always play this game for this moment.
Boss was having none of it
Ok whatever floats your boat
2:42 foreshadowing to the future saints row games
True
I swear Dane Vogel is probably my favourite villain in the series, 😍
8:37 - Saints don't have fans...
They did in the Third when they became celebrities, lol Dane was their day one.😅
Until the third game...
He predicted for saints row 4 and agents of mayhem
Am I the only one who kinda wanted the Ultor to win and actually clapped along with the people at 1:33? I mean Dane wasn't a bad guy + Imagine if you played as some other guy in Saints Row 2 and lost to Ultor (or played as and undercover Ultor agent). Then Ultor would renovate the whole Stillwater and THEN in Saints Row 3 (that wouldn't suck) THE REAL HERO (The Boss) would wake up from the coma and take back his city, fighting a more corporate enemy and not gangs, which would be a more original and better idea in my opinion! That would actually be a way better version of Saints Row 3! New Stillwater = new stuff + the gangs would come back in Saints Row 4. :D
Do you all realize that Ultor was what kept The Saints from becoming corporate pussies? After Dane's death, the Ultor was no more and ended up under the power of Saints, which resulted in them becoming pussies! (Sorry for grammar, I'm Czech) :/
Like Arrow
+Shtemby The Jerichoholic they do win though - i think sr3 and sr4 are their own timeline (remember saints row 2 is virtually stated outright to be a part of the red faction universe) - as they go to mars and do corporation things there
I mean, he had seemingly good intentions, but Vogel is both pretentious, fucking evil and not a good person.
Pastafari Agree. He set up the board and sent the letter to the boss so they can all be killed so he can rise in power in Ultor
Shtemby The Jerichoholic your English is better then most people that use it as a native language your schools must be very good
One thing's still hurts my head, HOW THE HELL DID ULTOR GET TO MARS IN RED FACTION 1 ?!?!?!
If the retcon ending of Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is anything to go by, the Saints went back to being a street gang so Ultor has nothing to do with them. If anything, the Saints probably often paid Ultor to stay off their backs and attack any other opposing gangs instead, but beyond that, no movie deals, no Saints branded clothing, or energy drinks. Ultor goes their own way and they get to Mars only to eventually be bumped off by the Red Faction and the EDF. God knows how bad the events of Red Faction 1 hurt Ultor's reputation on Earth.
There was the ending of the Ultor Exposed DLC in Saints Row 2, but the retcon ending in Gat Out ofHell ultimately undoes that. With this in mind, we probably have a time paradox. However, despite all of that, Volition said that Red Faction and Saints Row are not connected. I still prefer to think they are connected though.
They need to remake saints row 2 with the upgrades of 3 and 4
True, the only thing out there is a couple of HD textures
Saints Row IV was more like a lame superhero game.
I liked the Saints Row 2 graphics the way they were...
They definitely need to remake this game!
"The Masako Team"
I love how this is a vague red faction reference.
Fun little fact: The guys character in these cutscenes is based off the guy on the front cover of SR2!
God I miss this game.
Growing up, i relate to Dan Vogel even more
it's cool seeing this because it's in red faction one which evolved into red faction gurilla.
I love his scenes because his voice is so nice
Handsome jack of the saints row umiverse
1:49 I think I just came (because of the sound effects)
Saints row 2 is the best in the trilogy change my mind
Shut your mouth
Every time I see the thumbnail I think of a default skit too close to the screen
glad i kever even touched Saints row 3 and 4, and this is the last memories i have from that franchise, our character was fking solid
I thought he was the main hero until this lol
“GET THE FUCK OFFA ME” 🤣🤣🤣
1 through 2 brought the classic gang experience but 3 and 4 just went wacko
Ultor kinda remind me of LinusTechTips
Dane Vogel reminds me of Nicolae Jetty Carpathia from the movie Left Behind: both manipulative and lusting for power and control.
Are you going to make these type of cutscenes for SR3 too?
2:10 boom baby!
10:22 Before confronting Julius, this sounds a bit more triumphant and satisfying. But after you kill Julius, this sounds like something a villain would say.
Even saints row has that dreaded Wilhelm Scream...
I liked Dane I wish he lived it wouldve made more sense for Ultor to be on your side in the next games rather than they just follow because you killed the boss considering its a company not a gang
No in the DLCs the Boss made a deal with a Ultor exec. I'm not caught up with the details anymore but it's worth checking out.
Orton 57 still it seems weird for a business conglomerate to follow a gangster for killing their boss. I personally feel it’d be better if they followed Dane while he’s completely loyal to you.
@@idrinkcofe Yeah but then again its Saints Row some of its story just outright doesn't make sense.
Orton 57 I still think it’d be more in keeping with the story considering Dane doesn’t have a personal vendetta against you. Beating him doesn’t really mean anything.
good ULTOR👍
Dane Vogle's version of Order 66.
Imagine hitting on a guy at the bar, then next thing you know, he's using you as a meat sheild
That part had me dying of laughter. It was also fucked up.😂
GET THE FUCK OFF ME. lmfao
DASH X20 I mean, he's not running out of ammo anytime soon.
+Lord Dee lmfaoo
I know the devs said that the Ultor in Red Faction is a nod to SR a Easter egg but that's a pretty big fucking Easter egg to me plus I like to imagine that it's the same Ultor and they eventually got to Mars and the fuck Vogel got a mountain named after him
I just played the entire saints row series and I find tons of people arguing about old saints row vs the new saints row, can we agree that they are both fun?
HERES! BENDY! Both are fun but its more about personal preference, first 2 have enough fun but really serious moments to make it truly memorable. But saints row 3-4 is just goofy screw around antics. Still fun though!
its just baby boomers whining about how new games are bad and old ones should be glorified, great and detailed graphics and new game mechanics don't mean anything to them, if they don't get the same old shitty ''MUH GANG WARR'' they go mad and spam the comment section, even tho SR2 is my favorite game 3 and 4 are also great.
@@mehmetcaneren4042 3 is good but I think everyone agrees 4 was unnecessary
