I miss when the activities had back stories to them. It made you feel like there was a point to them, in the third and IV, they're kind of just there, and they're more annoying than anything else really.
SR1’s atmosphere was intoxicating, it is easily the most “complete” and polished game in the series. Instead of being the main focus of the city, you are just a simple gunman in the criminal underworld of Stilwater, which made it feel very populated, like you weren’t the only person hustling.
Kinda wished Saints row 2 kept cutscenes for activities like hitman and chop shop, gave them their own bit of personality instead of only having phone calls
Commits crimes for people all over Stilwater, doesn’t say a word to them. But when a person lies about current fashion tends, that’s when he decides to talk.
Loved this game but lmfaoo It's funny how our mute character just walks up to different jobs and they're offering him shit to do right off the back.. just talking and talking without our guy saying a word
@@forgottenfuneral Julius mentions at the start that they had " some friends in town". I think it might hint at the fact that most of the employers were expecting a visit from a Saint.
These scenes were definitely the best in the first game. Big variety of characters, sensible comedy, memorable personalities, and even some decent representation all around
Man i miss how they brought back minor details in these cutscenes as recurring jokes. Didnt really happen in 3 or 4 unless a big flashing hey do you get it pops up.
It’s criminal how many people didn’t play this game and herald SR2 as the holy grail. For me this game will always my favourite in the franchise for the writing the characters, gangs, music and setting. It knew exactly what it was and did it to perfection. Didn’t need all the crazy added gadgets and missions it’s story and side activities were strong enough. Still enjoy it to this day 14 years from day one ☝️
@@stephenvalleley1820 no its the same guy that explains why he has a cane in saintsrow 2 and is referred to as cripple as akugi says leave us cripple its the same guy getting shot in the knee cap with a 44 shepherd can do that
@@M4DAttack what the hell thats an amazeing detail see this is why saintsrow one is the best in the series its all the small details that make it perfect
Thanks! I just went back and replayed this game via BC on my Xbox One (i'm playing SR2 now) but i had a lot of glitches, especially with the weapons cache not working properly. Anyways i had forgotten that the game doesn't keep track of what activities you actually complete like how SR2 does so i probably visited the same ones 10 times only to find out that i had completed them already, haha!
What Lee did before he protected a little girl was being a lawyer and taught legal history. Then when Zinyak came, his personal hell was the Walking Dead.
The problem that I have with these cutscenes is that in Saints Row 2, Boss doesn’t walk around or be active while talking with the person who’s offering them an activity they could do. He (or she) just stands there running his (or her) mouth with the other person. Other than that, though… I’m fine with the rest of the game. :3
That thumbnail reminds me of my childhood. Not because of the game or anything; that's just what Dad used to do all the time before he went to go grab some beer from the supermarket and never came back.
11:31 So, Pierce was a racer before he was a Saint. Interesting. He's also been through his fair share of hats. Edit: I'm aware that this probably isn't Pierce, as the Caucasian male in SR1 sounds exactly like Donnie, so they must use the same voice actors for multiple characters - However, we can't rule it out until his name is mentioned.
Thank you somebody mentioned this. Its hard to tell if that is pierce or not because they used plenty of the same voice actors from 1 in Saints row 2.. this racer guy is most likely a random unnamed ped if volition hasn't named if already
I like the newer games more than the older ones, but one thing I can appreciate about the older games is that these cutscenes actually added context as to why the activities actually made sense.
MrToastsandwich the original Saints Row And original Dead Rising are some of the best games of all time and much better than all their sequels. It's awesome to see somebody who helped me beat both commenting on this :)

God i miss this, forgot how funny the side characters are. Wish they'd remaster it
Malcolm311 When Saints Row5 comes out Saints Row1 x Saints Row2 will be Re-mastered just to let you know💯🙏🏾
I have saints row 2 and lately I've been looking for saints row 1
They might bring it to Nintendo switch.
I agree. Since 3 was mastered last month and 4 five months ago with Reelected. #Saints3Mastered
Justin Pullin Huh?
12:21 anyone hurt and need a lawyer ?
Legal lee
legal lee is one of my favorite side chraracters
I love how every instance has it's own back story, especially with some of the characters returning in later games.
yeah some of them return but sadly not a lot of them
These are some pretty high quality cutscenes. Great animation and voice acting. I miss SR1&2 era volition.
We all do bro R.I.P. Mike Watson
I miss when the activities had back stories to them. It made you feel like there was a point to them, in the third and IV, they're kind of just there, and they're more annoying than anything else really.
that's why i didn't even do them the heli assault in sr3 was kind of annoying i never really played it in the 2nd game
4:50 You got no idea how weird and simultaneously awesome it is to hear Lee Everett's voice actor play a gangster in this game
Crazy he voiced the leader for the sons of samedi in the second game as well. Lee Everett is the most wholesome character he’s played I think
@@TheKingofKings2272 that was greg eagles. Different guy
4:14 so thats why in the 2nd one the translator uses a cane
am i the only one who cracks up when Mr. Wong shoots the translator in the leg?
your not the only one
Nate the otaku That's not the same translator
mr wong!
Nate the otaku Thats attention to detail right there
3:42 Mr. Wong's part, pretty sure a lot of you wanted this.
so that's how he got crippled
wong was my favorite homie, i love when a char speaks in his native language
Early Ronin days lol
mr. wong is a legend
First asmr ever these cutscenes
10:28
There, Tobias' part, you're welcome.
Thx bro I love doing that activity
why didn't i make the connection sooner. thanks for pointing that out
10:33
Tobias Vakarian
Tobias Had No Chill XD

10:31 the helicopter dude from saints row 2
GhoulFool Yup
15:50 the loa dust guru from saints row 2
Tobias
11:43 sounds like pierce's voice
AlwaysLRH xx it is
Yaboii J Is it meant to be Pierce tho?
@@zeldagamer7477 nope
My question is who is the voice actor
@@russkiboi1884 Arif S Kinchen
15:47 Laura, the drug "scientist" you bust out from jail in SR2?
masterwhopper414 it's her lol
masterwhopper414 i was thinkin more of an avocado
Mmmmmmmmmm!!!
10:47
And this is the same Tobias
A happy marriage of drug dealers
yes she is also one of my favorites.
I miss the old Saints row
damn that first cutscene is literal golden voice acting, imagine if they had Mo-cap back then.
that would be crazy i really liked Will
Mocap existed back then
Kinda wished Saints row 2 kept cutscenes for activities like hitman and chop shop, gave them their own bit of personality instead of only having phone calls
There's cut audio intended for some. The Docks Chop Shop has one where the birthday girl instead tries negotiating her chop shop list with the boss.
13:37 wish this guy and his business made it in SR2
Yeah I thought he was cooler than others.
4:10 that moment was epic and funny
These cutscenes have more personality than the entire reboot
These activities cutscenes are the best in SR series
4:54 is that the voice of Lee Everett?
Scarface 927 yup lmfao
so thats why he went to jail, huh
That is lee
Yes lol
What would Clementine think if she saw him? Tut tut tut.
Commits crimes for people all over Stilwater, doesn’t say a word to them.
But when a person lies about current fashion tends, that’s when he decides to talk.
10:28 what I want to say to Volition
Minnesota Born EA and Ubisoft
*”You think you can steal from me ?!, You think you can Fucking rob me?!. YOU STUPID, FUCKING BACKSTABBING, PIECE OF SHIT”*
Isn't that the helicopter dude from saints row 2
Rythian Black Yes Lol😂😂😂
Why? What did Volition do?
Loved this game but lmfaoo It's funny how our mute character just walks up to different jobs and they're offering him shit to do right off the back.. just talking and talking without our guy saying a word
right like our character just wakes up like "hey, which random stranger who will i help do something illegal today?" lmao
@@forgottenfuneral Julius mentions at the start that they had " some friends in town". I think it might hint at the fact that most of the employers were expecting a visit from a Saint.
Yeah thats pretty much what i thought too... But the other one sounds funnier
These scenes were definitely the best in the first game. Big variety of characters, sensible comedy, memorable personalities, and even some decent representation all around
1:52 she so fine bro
Xavier Simmons FAX💯👌🏾😂
Big downgrade in 2 were sometimes they don't even look human
6:15 was serving too
And 9:14
Bruh 0:12 was so fine
Man i miss how they brought back minor details in these cutscenes as recurring jokes. Didnt really happen in 3 or 4 unless a big flashing hey do you get it pops up.
right we loved those references
11:54, I wish Marvin made it to SR2.
damn i forgot who marvin is
10:30 I love Tobias's voice actor
It’s criminal how many people didn’t play this game and herald SR2 as the holy grail.

Yea , sr 1 is the best
sr 2 is dog shit
I mean this is pretty good but saints row 2 is just better.
0:05 did he just drop his cigar into his beer?
+i DONT Drink Rasmonkey I think
LOL
Thanks bro i always wanted to see them all
8:18 if you want the song the song name is caro/my little pony (my favorite k12 radio song )
4:55 Young Lee Everett!
Who else was shocked when y’all found out Tobias and mama Laura were together?
Saints row 1 is the best saints row. Even the online was fun even if it was limited
Also the only real Saints Row.
16:25 this guy's brother is the musician / tattoo artist for the Brotherhood in Saints Row 2
The break neck change from
That was my brother to want a loan
Kills me
The loan shark later becomes a porn director in Saints Row 2 (crowd control activity in the hotel/marina district)
Matt
Im surprised that the translator still works for Wong in SR2 after Wong shot him
Poor bastards probably in some contract
The Skipper different person
@@stephenvalleley1820
no its the same guy that explains why he has a cane in saintsrow 2 and is referred to as cripple as akugi says leave us cripple its the same guy getting shot in the knee cap with a 44 shepherd can do that
Ethan Blair I’m sure it’s different as they do sound different
@@stephenvalleley1820 Same voice actor. Otherwise, why would he using a cane?
It’s hilarious how every time a scene starts you hear glass bottles falling.
12:21 looks like a ledger just spawned at a random place on the desk.
The nostalgia is real
I liked these cutscenes that played before the activities in SR 1 & 2. I really missed them in 3 & 4.
2:32 Why is she wearing Saints colors?
If you take over that hood she will be wearing purple.. If not she's wearing red.
For real?
That’s a great detail
I've played this game hundreds of times and never noticed that before haha thats awesome
@@M4DAttack
what the hell thats an amazeing detail see this is why saintsrow one is the best in the series its all the small details that make it perfect
Mr. Wong!!🤣 he’s my favourite character since saints row 2
10:00 the dude from midnight club
Dub edition intensifies
5:09 that dude sounds familiar
His voice actor played Lee in the walking dead game.
volition should remaster this game after agents of mayhem
Cheese Block When GTA6 comes out The creators of Saints Row is Releasing Saints Row5 x they plan on remastering 1 & 2
You would think so. To this day, we're still waiting. Still...
i hope they remaster the first 2 eventually because those games are the ones i liked the most.
Thanks! I just went back and replayed this game via BC on my Xbox One (i'm playing SR2 now) but i had a lot of glitches, especially with the weapons cache not working properly. Anyways i had forgotten that the game doesn't keep track of what activities you actually complete like how SR2 does so i probably visited the same ones 10 times only to find out that i had completed them already, haha!
CyberDreams the ones you’ve completed are blacked out, if I remember correctly.
Mr. Wong is a badass for an old man
11:31 That sounds like Pierce!
sort of 😂😂
Who came here from playing SR2 just to see Mr. Wong?
I never played SR1.
Danny 1029 Immortal Gaming me nether
The music omg. Memories
3:21 Banging your head against the fuse box, very inteligent.
Considering his situation, it's probably the best idea he's had within a few days
4:52 Is that Lee from The Walking Dead? xD
holy shit that has to be him
i guess that's why Lee was in the back of a police car in the beginning of the game
YO i noticed that too! I can't find any credits for Dave Fennoy in this Saints Row.
Scarface 927 yeah it’s him
its a smart move that voltion made a majority of the characters unlikeable to make it less emotional and more dramatic
What Lee did before he protected a little girl was being a lawyer and taught legal history. Then when Zinyak came, his personal hell was the Walking Dead.
Is that Lee? Guess he was an assassin before the zombie Apocalypse
Where about?
I killed kids,families..
4:57 I think
The problem that I have with these cutscenes is that in Saints Row 2, Boss doesn’t walk around or be active while talking with the person who’s offering them an activity they could do. He (or she) just stands there running his (or her) mouth with the other person. Other than that, though… I’m fine with the rest of the game. :3
Saints row 1is the most gangsta
Also is the funniest and most charming.
15:00 Don't know what it is about femme fatale but I love it.
No one appreciates will. He's your only homie on your phone u can call for backup for the like the first part of the game
The glass cup sounds on every intro.of the activity video lol!!!
11:51 the dude sounds like pierce
i think it is lol
It is pierce 😂😂
@@AdamTrademark nope
@@AdamTrademark well...the boss might have found him again and then recruited him
@@AdamTrademark think about it
I did all of the hitman jobs in saints row 1
That's a true accomplishment
Did it too. In fact 100% SR.
10:30 what i would say to my bullys
Dam right bra
why u bully me >:(
That thumbnail reminds me of my childhood.
Not because of the game or anything; that's just what Dad used to do all the time before he went to go grab some beer from the supermarket and never came back.
3:50 MISTER WONG!! This guy use to have he killing guys in hotdog suits.
Yaaass
2:28 Song name: Two shots of Henny by Mathematics

@@diamondswish late but, the racer guy is actually named "Tyrell" According to the game data
10:52 So that's Tobias before his wife was set free.
Stilwater was a hell of a city.
I wished SR2 and SR3 have these kind of intro cutscenes in activities
One of the bigger questions I have with this game is, what the fuck the guy in the hot dog costume do to Mr. Wong.
They need to bring back activity cutscene replays in Saints Row(2022)
Not a problem ;)
I like the newer games more than the older ones, but one thing I can appreciate about the older games is that these cutscenes actually added context as to why the activities actually made sense.
0:12 Dude... that is NOT fugly.
Sure is
4:51 how in the fuck have i never heard that he did voice work for this game lmao
5:45 cool punch so cool that the quiet player got the punch!
The soundtrack was bad ass.
Man…I can’t believe my mom let me play this
For a timid,social anxious person
Playa sure interacts with plenty of people
I know what you mean. I miss Tobias :(

After seeing the cutscenes, doesn't any body wanna play them.
So true :3
Now you do :)
That last guy.
Huh, I never notice that before. Lol
The voice actor.
You are either missing an “s” for Activities or misspelled Activity. I don’t know which.
4:55 he sounds like Lee from the walking dead telltale game
Hi lee before he was arrested before the outbrake
11:29 that’s pierce
