  • Saints Row: The Full Dex Storyline - The Complete Dex Storyline in Saints Row
    This video includes important mission dialogue and story cutscenes from Saints Row 1, Saints Row 2 Corporate Warfare & Saints Row Gat Out of Hell (SPOILERS AHEAD)
    I did not include Dex's death from the cancelled game: Saints Row Money Shot as it's non canon.
    I know there's a few people out there who've either never played Saints Row 1 or just don't understand why people care so much about Dex's character, so hopefully this video will help you better understand why.
    Dex is one of the most important characters in the older Saints Row games, it's just a shame that killing him in Saints Row Gat Out of Hell was not at all satisfying especially since it's pretty much a throwaway side activity, it could've at the very least been one story mission. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video.

      A idea I got for a saints row 3, it would take place in Japan ( as saints row 2 was originally going to take place there) and it would be an much interesting location compared to steel port, and it would continue the story from 2, the saints got ran out of Stillwater by the endless swarms of ultor soldiers ordered by Dex, so the boss interrogates one of the important figures of ultor and he would sell out Dex location which is Japan, there would be gangs inspired by different kinds of Asian gangs like the yakuza or triads , one of the 3 gangs you would take out would be made up of remnants of the ronin who wants to take revenge on the saints and they would be backed up by ultor so they would have new vehicles and weapons.

      @@distribute.4780 yeah but you have to think about the context of the time, 20 years ago the world and politics was a different place and gaming wasn’t as huge and mainstream as it was. I don’t think you realise how much shit gta had thrown at it by the media over those years it really was getting the doom columbine treatment the only reason it survived was because gta was one of the very few games that have been iconic in pop culture and kinda transcends gaming itself, saints row was a new franchise in 2006 and probably wouldn’t been able to survive with the heat gta 3 had and didn’t want to go through the San Andreas treatment that seen it get recalled for shit like pixelated sex with clothes on while nowadays ride to hell retribution kinda just got memed for the same thing, even mass effect got heat for a fade to black kissing scene with an alien yet now we have music like WAP and twerking and lyrics about popping pussy and murdering people pushed to kids and then like Fortnite a game marketed to kids about 100 people dropping on an island and fighting to the death to be the last one standing would’ve been unheard of and crucified for and now all that stuff gets celebrated by the media so I don’t know where or when it changed but Like I said the world was just a different place back then. But that was the start of the franchise after the first one they went wacky simply to not be labelled a gta clone which I don’t think would’ve been that much of a big deal when you see games like sleeping dogs and watchdogs having their own identity but at the time they was the only two big players but they could’ve also went the satire route to make it obvious it’s a lighter tone to avoid backlash at the time, but then again looking at the reboot wether you like how whacky the franchise went or not going full parody was obviously the better decision than whatever excuse of a game the last one was.

    I truly agree with the others saying that Dex should have returned after the events of 2 in the third; If the idea of Johnny getting killed would still retain, it would be from the hands of Dex. If not killed, then heavily wounded. I could also see Troy returning for this one, possibly helping them one last time, as if keeping the boss on life support after the events of Part 1 wasn't the last.
    Also, the hint of Johnny being a disdain to Dex would have been an awesome potential for a heated rivalry. Sad how it seemed that the only heat between them was the hell they were in, where he was underwhelmingly killed.
    Others, do educate me if this suggestions lacks or makes no sense. I'm still getting to know this series.

      true, I feel the story could have still been the same with Dex as a side antagonist, and maybe while the player was rising up the ranks, Dex was too, and at the end, he would get Stag to assist in taking down the Saints, and get the player to kill Killbane (as he wouldn't be corporate enough for white collar Dex), the game could end with a choice, kill Dex after all this time OR save Shaundi, your love for your gang, or revenge

    Ya know what would have been great? If nothing else, Dex could have been a liutenant or something for the Syndicate. Maybe he gives Phillipe Loren the idea to expand his Syndicate to Stilwater, after the Boss takes over Ultor (As stated in Sr3's 2nd Mission). And the Saints could have dealt with Dex in Steelport. It would have tied up SR2's corporate warfare story perfectly. I mean, the Boss did say he'd find Dex in whatever city he went to.

      3 is where they honed their craft and got rid of the respect system, which makes sense storywise, they also vastly improved Saints Row 2's new characters and made them at their best
      4 you can't put on the saints devs and more of THQ for forcing them to make a dlc into a whole game, which is ironic, but it was a fun experience and if it wasn't a saints row game, probably would've been a niche game that would never get a sequel and would sell fine, but it has the 2nd best activites in the franchise, with SR2 having the best activities, SR4 made the insurance fruad activity fun, which it should be celebrated for

    My theory: After the Saints fell apart and Julius betrayal, Ultor was formed eventually and brought in Troy and Dex to their team. I believe they tried to grab Gat too but he refused to join them else he won't get to blow things up and Ultor want these powerhouses(eventually lapdogs) to succeed. Which leads to Gat commiting crimes to show Ultor that he's loyal to the streets.
    The proof that Ultor need those men: Dex got a huge pay while Troy gets promoted and highly praised for involving in high risk tasks. Gat might have been their top assassin if he joined :o
