This video isn’t a 12 minute ad, we don’t do that sort of thing around here! We do confuse the singers of classic 80s songs though.
Keep up the good work much love man
If this an ad for a remastered version of Saints Row 2, I wouldn’t even care! I love the Saints Row series
It's Odd that you mention this... it's got me scratching my Head.
Did you say that because the latest "Semi Ramblomatic" video from Second Wind felt like a 7 minute ad for Yahtzee's game?

There's more of those idle animations. If you stand inside by the entrance of the gentleman's club you will act like a bouncer. If you stand in a bar you will drink a bottle of liquor. If you stand on a pier you'll cast a fishing pole. Those are a few I know of, there's probably more I've never found
Waiting outside the purgatory will make your character stand idle beside the door smoking a cig
Actually, that is this game's "idle node" mechanic and the Wiki has documented all of them.
@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 that's the joys of making the NPCs the same thing as the player, it's so easy to add the player into that action
If you stand next to NPCs having a conversation your character will join the conversation
I love that you can stand by a hotdog vendor, wait a minute and the boss will order and eat a hotdog
Captain, it's Europe that sang Final Countdown, not Queen.
Yea. They are right. Queen did not sing it.
I was just about to write the same thing!
I'm hoping it's a joke I didn't understand
Beat me to it ha ha
It's bait intended to boost comments. "Leave a comment" is less effective than relying on people being unable to resist the urge to "um, actually".
3:50. Common practice. Static mesh with physics. After being activated or moved theres a timer to despawn to save game memory. Otherwise everything you interact with in the game would clutter the scenes and memory
Iirc the murder house was apparently an audio issue that caught a horror movie being played in the background. There's no Easter egg or larger thing behind it, it was just an audio issue. In SR3 the murder house does appear again as an Easter egg this time
Is it though, there are quite a few locations in Saints Row 1 where you can hear similar stuff as well as there is a basketball court in the first game that spawns an AK-47 every in game hour that has a building pretty close by that plays continuously looping audio of a woman screaming and stabbing noises. Fairly certain it may be intentional.
RIP Volition 😢 you made my younger gaming years more fun
They sure shot themselves in the foot after that last abysmal Saints Row game.
@@modemgt771 in all fairness most of the og devs of sr1 n 2 have already moved onto other better things n left the company, the people behind the reboot were mainly new hires n mostly the woke types that have no love or respect for the saints series.
You can also find a statue/shrine that’s dedicated to Volition Studios themselves inside a cave that’s way off the map. I also seem to remember spotting a giant fish there too? It might be worth your time checking it out at some point.
Volition island🫨 the fish was sick
It was a baby Loch Ness monster. You can find the skeleton of a bigger one on another island.
There's an easier way to get to the developers office. There's a door down at street level with a staircase leading up to the office.
The blind guy who doesn`t react when you try to rob the liquor store may be a reference to one episode of A-Team where the mafia tries to take money from a blind guy that own the shop. But it didn`t go well.
not everything is a reference to something
The quality of the map, the amount of interiors, of secrets. I LOVE IT! I am playing it really really slow.
Jason cant swim but he can sure as hell walk under water
A lot of theories about him no way im arguing about it it all depends to what really happened to him
About the Underground Radio: the GenerationX radio changes after General's Son dies. It's replaced with UltorFM
Note;
Veteran Child isnt the Generals son, he is the lieutenant & the gang's DJ
@@samac4323 yeah, knew that, just screwed up the names of the characters. Kinda thought the leader was named Veteran for a while
4:09
If you walk into the lake or throw the mask into the lake, it does a weird animation. It’s been a while since I’ve played but I remember people were saying it was part of an unfinished Easter egg.
SR2 should be the gold standard for open world sandbox games.
6:50
the final countdown was made by Europe not queen
OOF
It's called "How to get easy comment engagement on a youtube video" 😎 Captain Eggcellent once again proving he's a genius.
@@shortinosI wish that was the reason 😞
@@CaptainEggcellentIts ok, I'm with you 🫂
@@shortinos woah that's so smart
With the Jason mask that lake spawns people's corpses on top of the water when you walk away and come back
Also in the graveyard there is an empty grave, when you stand in front of it something will happen
Never knew that it casued bodies to spawn in the water. I do know that there is a tree that will fall onto the road "trapping" you in the camp when you drive near it.
The idle animation you mentioned is barely the tip of the iceberg...there are spots like that all over the city where if you idle near a group doing an activity, your character will join in..my personal favorites being the yoga group, and the people fishing.
Unfortunately, they didn't bother doing this, or the day/night cycle, in later games supposedly because 'it was too much work ant nobody noticed'. 😕
I will point out as a side mention, though...I'm presuming that you're playing the straight, unmodded version of the game...but a major mod for 2 was made called...Gentleman of the Row, IIRC, by 'IdolNinja', fixing many of the bugs and adding additional features. He did such a good job, he ended up getting hired to work on later Saint's Row releases. Unfortunately, he passed away a while back. :-(
this is great... i am a total saints row fan... i played it when the first game was on a Xbox demo disc.. was too young to know any details or secrets
If the sex dungeon wasn't bad enough on its own when you get out the other end you found yourself at the "used coffin" dealer. The people at the trailer park were stealing coffins and dumping the bodies (hopefully that's all that they did) to sell their coffins for cheap.
And i think that tower thing only worked with the Xbox version of the game.
I don't know if you would count it as an Easter egg, but almost everyone knows that drinking alcohol in Saints Row 2 gives you beer muscles. You do more melee damage after consuming a couple alcoholic beverages. But if you smoke a spliff or a bong or anything like that, it reduces incoming damage. I don't remember anyone ever talking about that when I used to play the game
Yess I used to tell people this but people just thought it was the game being silly
@diamonddead8162 I remember testing it by walking off one of the bridges. If you jump it kind of throws everything off but if you walk there's a certain amount of time you fall that you'll start tilting forward. I would do this sober, drunk, and then High and it was hard to get steady results but it was almost certain that after a bong or a spliff, the fall didn't hurt as much
I thought that feature was only available in Saints Row 1
The idle animations aren't just for in the clubs. They r nearly everywhere. Most standing actions u can find NPC's doing, the player will usually eventually join in and do themselves briefly. If there r multiple nodes in an area, the player will swap between them
The mask turning into a skull is because of the weird boundaries, the game swaps the item and it so happens to b a skull.
The devs have said it's funny but not intentional to have happened.
Found an easter egg, or small detail, in Ghostbusters the Video Game.
When you pause the game, the pause screen is actually your PKE meter. Normally, the sensors on the side slowly cycle because theres nothing around. But if you are near a scannable target or paranormal entity, the sensors will flash quickly, especially if you have looked at the scannable target before pausing the game. Not huge, but I love that the game registers the target on the pause screens PKE meter, not just the in-game PKE meter
Hi, I love this game series and I know a lot about i
- All the Graves in Morning Wood are developers, a random npc will fall from the Sky into a greave too
- NPC's will comment on events in the story, they can also steal your car, rob a store your shopping in, they also can streak and fight eachother
- Homies will also comment on events and even chat to eachother (Johnny and Troy is funny)
- There are news reports on all the events in this game
- Everyone jokes at how the boss was mute in the first game and now can be a woman
The destructible radio tower isn’t for radio underground, it’s for “pirate radio”. However there is cool detail tied to radio underground. Since it’s being broadcasted from underground it has a weak signal so you won’t be able to get the radio station If you aren’t close enough to where it’s being broadcasted and it won’t show up in the list of stations either
3:05 this could be a reference to the two headed cow from fallout but your guess is as good as mine🤔
This game changed my life. But The Third will always be my favorite❤❤
There is a beautiful nod to Saints Row 2 in SR the Third involving Pearce. When you first meet him he'll play classical music and your character would go and comment on that he needs a better taste in music. When you get him in the third, the classical station would start up before swapping to the best part of the game with the singalong
Does anyone remember riding motorcycles up the sides of buildings?
I literally played this game yesterday what the hell
Congrats on the 900K subs. Deserved. However, Queen did not do the Final Countdown song. The band was Europe.
The radio tower detail only works in the original Xbox 360 version of the game as far as I'm aware. It never worked on PC, and I don't believe it even worked in the PS3 version for some reason
The mutant fish can also be found at the Lake camp you found the hockey mask.
The road leading in/out of the camp also has a tree that will fall on the road when you get close. (Like the horror trope of cars being unable to leave an area)
There is a open grave that a sky diver will fall to his death into when you approach it.
They are three islands hidden off map like the bunny. One has a wrecked ship, another a Loch Ness monster skeleton, and a larger island with a shrine to Volution in a cave. The last island also has a baby Loch Ness monster swimming by it.
4:47 These sounds are indeed artificial. The map of the caverns names this area as the "Ghost Room". It's probably part of the whole tourist attraction
The gong detail is also used in the Crowd Control activity when on the Chinatown map. It's one of the highlighted objects to throw people into for extra money
Another secret I know about is that if you go to the hidden island where you follow the arrows, the island wit the Volition Cavern has a sea monster in the water if you stand in a specific spot. Really more of a large fish but it's the only place it's found
The Underground FM tower had two features. There are three or four rings of signal that change the quality of the broadcast, and if you’re past the out ring you won’t hear anything at all.
Strangely enough I just tried destroying the tower on the 360 version of the game and it cut out the broadcast until I reloaded.
What version are you on and if PC may it’s a patch related issue?
Crazy how this game was probably made in year. My favorite game of all time. One detail that’s cool is depending on vehicle it will have different switch sounds, which I love.
You say Saints Row has never been afraid to make Risqué jokes but the Reboot exists which is the most inoffensive game I’ve ever played.
I mean, they were all common adult jokes at the time. Blow up dolls, woo
@@TheSultan1470 it was me commenting on how watered down the remake is compared to the original games
@@ThatOneDude1509 But it's a different game
That pink rabbit looks awfully purple
Congrats on reaching 900k mate!
Thank you!
@@CaptainEggcellent
Love your videos, ever consider doing a compilation of horror easter eggs?
Would be an awesome watch
Missed opportunity to include the sea monster at Volition Oasis
I have a theory about the "Nuke Launch Room" it takes two keys to confirm a nuke launch and there are two terminals in the room of dolls. What happens if you bash those a bit?
Here’s one Dying light 2 detail I’m sure you missed: As Aiden progressively gets more and more yk, infected his voice lines become enraged and ragged as if he’s angrier then usual as in the infections taking over so things like jumping, hitting, and running all becomes exaggerated
Maybe the 2 headed fish is a reference to fallout, since so many creatures in that series have 2 heads due to radiation.
Hey Captain I saw something today that you might be interested in featuring in a video in the game far cry four when you equip a throwing knife and hold it in your hand before throwing the knife the number that shows how many is in your inventory will go down by one when holding it and then will go back up by one when you put it away if you choose not to throw it it’s a small but neat little detail
This was my favourite game growing up. This and black ops 1 got me into gaming. I’ll never forget the memories me and my brother made playing these, may he rest in peace.
Still love SR2 to this day
Ima have to turn on the 360 and play this gem, sheesh it feels like a dream playing this i will never forget the experience i had playing it in that release month
There's another radio tower not too far from that one.
Two headed fish could be a reference to the two headed Brahmin cows from Fallout.
You missed a couple of easter eggs that I can think of off the top of my head.
Saint's Row 2 has a lot of tiny islands surrounding the map that don't appear on said map. Some contain weird things. A dinosaur skeleton, a Volition statue hidden behind a waterfall (if I remember correctly) and an aquatic dinosaur swimming around an island in the water though it won't interact with you.
Ultor the villainous corporation is the same Ultor from The Red Faction video games also made by Volition hinting that they are set in the same universe. You can even find an advert on the radio that is for a TV show called Red Faction with two of the major characters Parker and Eos voicing a more saucy scene than actually happened in the game.
I forget where exactly, but I remember there being a hidden island with a cave that has the Volition logo, and if you look in the shallows around the island you can see a large sea-monster type creature occasionally swim by
I can confirm that that island does exist
It’s by the wrecked pirate ship
One of my favorite games in the xbox 360 and ps3 era. And random fact, saints row 1(2006) is an xbox exclusive. It was gonna get a pc and ps3 port but it was scrapped for a multi release for saints row 2.
The radio is voice dependant, different voices sing to different songs
Oh I didn’t know that
Pretty sure all of them have one unique song, but every voice sings along to Take on Me
All of those songs are on TheMix and sadly it's the only station to have singalongs
Hey remember there's the Merman thing on an island aswell as the Volition Island too
4:56 the sounds from the cave are really close to the minecraft's nether portal
Idk if it’s SR2 or one but there’s another far off island where you can see the Loch Ness monster swim away
On the segment regarding the Volition studio you find in game, there is also a stairwell that leads up to it as that is how it is mentioned you enter it according to the Saints Row 2 official strategy guide.
In regards to the segment showcasing the house with the disturbing sounds; that is a gag they carried over from Saints Row 1 as there are quite a few locations around the city in that game where stuff like that can be found like near the basketball court in one of the poor neighborhoods where the AK-47 spawns in Saints Row where there is an apartment building where you hear a woman screaming and stabbing noises.
Also, no mention of the bookstore with the name "Read Fiction" in the same font and style of Volition's Red Faction series or the fact that Ultor in the Saints Row universe is confirmed to be the same Ultor from Red Faction but ran by the Third Street Saints?
I remember being cooked out of my mind playing this game, finishing the mission in the caverns, and free roaming in them afterwards. I was freaking out when I heard the noises 😅
Congrats on 900K!
Aswell I have an Easter egg!
In dead island there's an achievement called "how many days exactly?" After starting a game 28 days later, obviously a reference to 28 days later
Not sure if this is really the EE but I think the 2 headed fish is a reference to photos of wildlife taken in Pripyat, the town located near Chernobyl. One of those photos does have a 2 headed fish to show the mutations.
LOVE SR2
good job with the Easter eggs
Ive had that dance happen while chilling in the saints hideout
The first game has plenty of details as well. For example:
Older cars have shitty sound quality, newer cars have good speakers.
In early game, enemies will just insult you. But as you progress, more and more enemies will recognize you and say things like "Oh shit! It's him!"
The more you use fellow saints as homies and the more you let them get kills, the better the saints NPCs get at killing (which is painful because they REALLY suck at it to start)
4:20 Reference to Jason's mother
Whenever I hear "The Final Countdown", I'm always reminded of "It's the final countdown! Just like they always sung about!" from Gravity Falls.
A guy really devoted to the series died while trying to remake the port for SR2 on pc. Sadly he couldn't finish and well, now Volition is dead ... Look it up a guy on youtube that worked on the project too shared the story 😢 This game is soooo cool. I played it after S3 and damn the difference!
There are idle hotspots all over.
Two headed fish is probably a nod to the two headed Brahmin from Fallout.
There's another one in the graveyard, there's an open grave and when you first go near it a man falls from the sky wearing like a space helmet and falls in it and dies
Two other details missed...the blow-up dolls are actually a collectible item, I forget what the final reward for getting them all is.
Also another way to get coins..much like the binoculars, you can uproot parking meters, which will also give you coins. (I'm trying to remember if you can briefly use it as a melee weapon before it breaks or not. It has been a while since I've played.)
Thats saints row the third. It has money and drug pallets as well as boxes of dolls you can collect. It’s basically just a free $1000 per collect
There’s also a hidden island with the volition logo on it. If I remember correctly there’s 3 hidden islands. The volition one, a sunken pirate shit and I forget the third.
I know this has nothing to do with saints row but I discovered a cool thing while playing the new goat sim 3 dlc ( now I know there are hundreds of easter eggs in goat sim) but a cool detail I discovered was that if you stand on a solar panel for a couple seconds you set on fire ( not that interesting but a cool detail the devs decided to throw into the mix)
You missed a couple of moments, a little island with skeleton of loch ness monster and some statue. Swimming monster near same island
For the radio station thing, I dont know about destroying the tower (although if that's the case, try changing to another station then changing back to Underground. Because otherwise if that's the case then underground will stay on as long as it's been selected on the car. Which is how I would keep the Gen X station after it changes to Ultor radio. I'd stash cars before killing Veteran Child, with Gen X selected already on it and never changing stations on it.).
But apparently it's signal strength varies on location you are in on the map. Don't know if that's the case for the PC version, but might only be for the 360 version.
I love when content creators say wrong things on purpose only for us to come here and comment on it, creating engagement. I mean, saying the Final Countdown was performed by Queen was on purpose, right? RIGHT?
Yeah that’s definitely why I said that 👀
hey captain. have you ever had a update title be a easter egg before? if not. dead cells, the amazing aaction rougelite has a update titled "everyone is here" which is a reference to the ultimate smash bros trailer. in the update it brought, hollow knight and his pure nail, shovel knight and his well shovel, hotline miami's bomber jacet which can only be obtained after finding a baseballbat and smashing open a door (while a enemy is behind it to stun them and then kill said enemy) and so many more
I've heard that Jason can't swim but in many of the films he does just fine in water, hell he even manages to climb aboard a boat from the water in that New york film and seems to have no issue killing people or catching up with them via the water. Happy to be proven wrong, i've watched most of the films but not enough like a absolute fan boy would.
I got thinking the radio tower destruction is probably for the Heli assault side mission against Son's the radio station changes title after you kill Veteran Child in the Son's story mission
in the cemetery there is an empty grave and if you stare at it for long enough a body will drop out of the sky and fall into the grave
Please do a lego Harry Potter vid. Every character has a unique wand charge, and I’m sure there are tons of Easter eggs in this huge 2 disk game
Here's one. Call up a homie then the second they arrive dismiss them. They'll jump in their vehicle and drive off. If you're quick you can jump in the passenger seat and they'll drive you around. Fire the gun or throw grenades to cause freak outs (except for Shaundi who's too stoned) and you can give them grief over driving for once.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the two-headed fish may be a reference to the Brahmin from Fallout.
Not really an easter egg but more of a maybe broken feature. There are blood decals that will spawn on the ground in Sr2 However they are extremely rare and very hard to notice, It only seems to happen when the player's body hits the ground with intense force, I think it also may work with npc's but you would be going so fast to cause that much force you would never see it. I was able to get this to happen the easiest in insurance fraud, these decals are not the generic blood pools that form when an npc is killed, and have a different shape.
2:14 this apend in safe house too
You left out my favorite Easter egg the secret island with the volition statue 🗿. If I remember correctly Jason is also in the water by the mask
Hey old man youre not that old Europe made that song
Do Saint Row 4 next
I think the 2 headed fish isn't really a reference to anything because in real life, there are some people who have caught a 2 headed fish. It's rare, but I know it's happened once or twice before in real life.
did you know that one horror game directly references another. just play That's Not My Neighbor and look at the names. additionally, the nightmare mode has a neighbor that looks very familiar.
Its been a long time since i’ve played SR2, cool 2 c it on this series
Where did the saints row music go whenever I play the radio is silent?? The radio is banging in this game
there is also if you stand with a group of people smoking, then your character will approach the group of smokers and take off smoking
When captain posts it’s a good day
That crazy man beating the woman in the house is genuinely disturbing... I think I'm going to lose sleep tonight...
The first time that you fly near the top of the Ultor building a guy will commit sudoku by jumping off the top of the building.
i miss Saints Row :(
Same 😢
Roadhouse
Same here, but If they re not going to be able to do something equal or better than the first SR games, or at least do something interesting like the fourth one, maybe the franchise should stay dead.
Saints Row 2 is an example of a sequel where the developer actually put in more content and improved some stuff from the first game. Of course this is also because they used the same graphics engine and didn't have to spend money and dev time on a new one, allowing them to focus all their efforts on content and gameplay.
Fin fact, you can get the green gang leaders personal car if on the mission when you are tasked to kill him aka blow up the car you can get in it and drive it all the way to your garage and its saved. Only way to get it i think. Prob very Common tip now but at the time it was worth replaying for
Also, in BioShock, you can drink alcohol and get drunk if you drink a bit
If the game wont crash every 5 second this game might be in my top list
The cave sounds could be alien nod
Only me that want an remaster on saints row 1 and saints row 2. I play saints row 3 alot and love it. Saints row 1-3 is the best one
