Backlog Resolution: Saint's Row Part 13
After taking a bit of time to invest in a local business, we meet up with Pierce to go on a wild ride taking out some helicopters. Man, these drug dealers are really throwing their money around like crazy. Also, Pierce has unfortunate taste in music. Not because the song is bad (it's an okay song), but because it's a song that's likely to trip the copyright detection.
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.
