Backlog Resolution: Saint's Row 2 Part 5
0On this episode, we get an old reference regarding the cultural discourse around violence in video games. Then we do some violence in a video game. What a clapback, I sure am impressed...
Okay, not every attempt at comedy in this game is going to land. The grenades I throw around to cause property damage definitely land, though.
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.
