 Saints Row 4 is the most recent game in the world's premiere GTA Clone Turned Goku Simulator series. It all started with some nerd trying to join a street gang, then escalated wildly until he was fighting aliens as the president of the united states. At the time of writing this, Volition is still managing to escalate beyond what we could expect the series to go to. It's completely bananas and amazing. The LP Grace will be joining me for another Co-op LP, meaning the expected time of us betraying each other will be measured in minutes. While I've played 2, 3, and a good chunk of 4, Grace has not played any of the Saints Row games, so this will be brand new territory for him. We're playing the PS4 version Saints Row IV: Re-Elected, which means we've got all the DLC built in right away. We also don't know what almost any of it is, so bear with us if we don't show off unlocked stuff right away. This LP will also be very casual, so don't expect any speedruns or in depth mechanics being described. There'll also be a lot of alcohol involved, although thankfully no drinking game. Keep spoilers to a minimum, remember Grace doesn't know what happens in this game, and you don't wanna ruin the surprise, do you? Meet your Presidents!  Kazuhira "Master" "McDonnell" "Speak Kikongo? Not For Longo!" "Iceman" "No literally he throws ice a lot" "Bennedict" Miller Played by: Danaru After being the head of multiple mercenary companies and an American special forces unit, Master Miller was attacked by a Russian cowboy in his own home over a love triangle spat from like twenty years ago or something. Offended by this level of rudeness, Miller said eff all of this and decided to join a street gang. Things got way out of hand really quickly, and now Miller is one of the presidents of the United States.  Beverly "Bev" Bev Played by: Grace Recruited into the Saints shortly after the Steelport incident because she beat the hell out of everyone else trying to join up. She wasn't even there to join she just wandered in and started throwing people around. The crew appreciated her entrepreneurial spirit and recruited her right away. Changes her appearance top to bottom depending on what mood she's in. Never EVER talk to her when she has a red ponytail. Why are there two first episodes? As has been tradition for as long as we've been making videos, episode one was plagued by constant gently caress-ups, including a particular mistake we decided to record through, expecting it to take less time to fix. The episode you're seeing is the third attempt at episode 1 and we were making it work no matter what.  If you only want to see the half hour of Saints Row content, watch the short version. If you want to see all nearly two hours of nonsense and mostly confused yelling, you'll want the long version.

So I started watching the long version because I like watching Dan suffer and all of a sudden Ape Escape. And Dark Souls. And MGSV. And...maybe more I dunno all i did was just skip ahead in the video a few times. Dan, Elbaki demands you put up a proper OP for all of those other LPs in the video.

It's almost sad there's no drinking game. Could be like 'Every time there's a friendly fire incident resulting in death, the perpetrator takes a drink." But then I find drunk Dan/Grace hilarious.

I'm so glad you didn't just go with Co-Presidents Trump and Clinton. That would be far too depressing for such a lighthearted game. That two hour version was exactly what I needed on a long car trip, too, so thanks for that.

 New Episode! Let's Play Saints Row IV Episode 2 - Gotta Go Fast As an example that should set the tone for the entire LP, within three seconds of us getting control in the real game, I was hit by a car and Grace had killed about four people on the sidewalk. I also refuse to drive without constantly slamming the powerslide button because powersliding is awesome in this game.

In all of these games, of all types, it seems trying to kill people by running them over is the hardest thing to do in the world unless you are already driving at 70 miles per hour. But roll over and park on top of somebody's skull with a an 18 wheeler car transport truck? Eh, they just shrug it off and pop right back up. I prefer most of the "Normal" weapons, but I always make sure to at least buy some upgrades for the alien weapons for Reasons. Grace's offscreen commentary gives some amazing mental images "Why is everything exploding?... Oh because I'm running over cars." Bev gives zero fucks about her surroundings.

So are we all just pretending not to notice that Dan almost accidentally deleted Phantom Pain, too? Man, I knew Saints Row games got crazy, but this is definitely a step beyond the last time I paid attention to this series. In the best possible way.

Let's Play Saints Row IV Episode 3 - The Big Gay Ambulance The most glorious irony is Grace spending like 50 edited out minutes of perfecting his in game outfit, only to wind up naked immediately in the next mission. For a fun behind the scenes thing:  This is why I have music turned off in general

Somehow, I've managed to avoid getting more than one copyright claim per GTA episode despite those being full of licensed music. I figured that the music is too big a part of games like this to be left out altogether. (now watch my next video get blocked worldwide and/or my channel banned from Youtube)

So something I found out on my playthrough, if your resolution is set too low, it makes those final closing tunnels during the ship escape impossible. It took me a good two hours to figure out why I couldn't get through it no matter what I did.

And this is why, even though I prefer most of the normal weapons, I always make sure to upgrade all the alien stuff. Because your simulation upgrades of alien guns transfer over to naked time I do like how the minigames actually benefit from teamwork. If it's a timed race, it will just end at the first person to cross the finish line. If it's a score challenge, it adds them together and keeps stacking points. Also, people really do glitch the gently caress out around rifts. So I hope you get some footage of that to show off. EDIT: So, uh. What's the "Fun behind the scenes thing"-oh I guess SA's just being finicky for me in wanting to actually load the link you put up. Oh content ID. Why are you such a bitch.

Danaru posted:I like the alien weapons I admit a love/hate relationship with the Alien assault rifle. I bring it out, things are super great, and then repeat usage splits the shots and I can't hit a loving thing past shotgun range unless I let go of the trigger for a bit. And I didn't bring out a fully automatic weapon in a saints game to use short controlled bursts Honestly, the greatest superpower would be the ability to loving fire your guns in the air. For example, the alien rocket launcher is super great, but it's a real slog at the lower upgrade ends where I'll freeze a warden, charge and fire a fancy alien rocket as soon as I'm allowed (Which is a real bitch, if I have to chase them up to a rooftop), and then they unfreeze and dodge at the last second Then I say to myself "I know, I'll use the normal rocket launcher instead!" And then everything is great... until I quickly run out of ammo

I assumed that this episode was going to include the mission "Miller Time". Also, tip for fraud, if you roll sideways instead of forwards you can basically cartwheel down the street forever, and the activity won't end as long as you're still in a combo, so if you somehow don't manage to get enough points within the time limit you can use that trick to go for extra time. But once you figure out how to do never-ending cartwheels you're not likely to have any difficulty with fraud ever again.

I find that they offer the best cash payouts, plus they're harder to miss.
