Backlog Resolution: Saint's Row 2 Part 21
0The failson fails again as his half-baked assassination attempt against Gat is thwarted by our convenient visit. Heck, we even get a free helicopter out of the deal! Then we get intel from someone from Ultor of all places, as they've grown sick of Shogo's constant failures themselves. Pretty on brand for a corporation to hire outside thugs to break up the collective bargaining power of their employees, although I think using explosives is frowned upon in modern union busting.
Saint's Row 2 was originally released in 2008 by THQ and developed by Volition, famous for this series and the cult classic Red Faction series. Taking control of a custom character 5 years after the events of Saint's Row, you wake up to find the world has left you behind due to the machinations of new criminal gangs and corporate dominance. Reuniting with your former crew, you take on missions in an open world that is very, very silly and very violent. The series would continue into the modern age, with Volition being shuttered by Embracer Group after the 2022 reboot was released.
