As someone fresh to the series 3 was great but comparing it to 2, it feels like there's a lot of "two steps forward, one step back" moments. Hell, this new one is placing massive emphasis on the customization aspect and, unless I've missed it, 2 is still the only game where you can toggle a jacket zipped/unzipped or a hoodie's hood up/down.

@@laiostoudenn that's a reductive view of the situation. The commenter makes a good point. Dan has been playing video games for decades, so his subscriber base (reasonably) sees him as an authority on such. He also knows this, and he played this game and posted this video not once bringing up the numerous bugs or poor game design, but he instead treated it like it was his GOTY. I guarantee you a lot of people bought the game because of this video and now are out $60 due to Dan's portrayal of the product. Am I saying Dan isn't allowed to like the game? Absolutely not. But I know with near absolute certainty that he noticed some of the real problems with the game (the very same problems that he's ridiculed other games for) but didn't take a moment to divulge them to the viewers, which was a bit of a dishonest move in my opinion.
Ah so it's finally arrived. Awesome, met a dev once or twice, absolute treat to talk to XD. Guess who we mentioned. Anyway I'm glad they were able to take the artistic direction they wanted and made everything look very Interesting and fun and I hope they can continue and make it great.
Thank you NerdCubed for being such amazing, funny, and inspiring person. Thank you for this hilarious video, just a Quick thing to say when he was on the train and trying to get the train. All I could remember “Horse, Where is my Horse, better with Kinect.” R.I.P horse.❤️🍻

oh no he likes a game other people don't! how does he feel about this??? /s
There's nothing in the video that's inaccurate of how the final version is.
People don't like it because the story is cringe and the missions are repetitive. This video didn't make any false claims about those
@@laiostoudenn that's a reductive view of the situation.
The commenter makes a good point. Dan has been playing video games for decades, so his subscriber base (reasonably) sees him as an authority on such. He also knows this, and he played this game and posted this video not once bringing up the numerous bugs or poor game design, but he instead treated it like it was his GOTY. I guarantee you a lot of people bought the game because of this video and now are out $60 due to Dan's portrayal of the product.
Am I saying Dan isn't allowed to like the game? Absolutely not. But I know with near absolute certainty that he noticed some of the real problems with the game (the very same problems that he's ridiculed other games for) but didn't take a moment to divulge them to the viewers, which was a bit of a dishonest move in my opinion.
Ah so it's finally arrived. Awesome, met a dev once or twice, absolute treat to talk to XD.
Guess who we mentioned. Anyway I'm glad they were able to take the artistic direction they wanted and made everything look very Interesting and fun and I hope they can continue and make it great.
the main thing i noticed; No generation x.... Crying in the club. Gen X was the main reason that kept me driving around in the cities, fck.
13:08 "She dabbed, get her!"
Once again
Dan sells me a game i was already sold on
14:37 no way the shop only has 4 items wtfff
Thank you NerdCubed for being such amazing, funny, and inspiring person.
Thank you for this hilarious video, just a Quick thing to say when he was on the train and trying to get the train.
All I could remember “Horse, Where is my Horse, better with Kinect.” R.I.P horse.❤️🍻
The day we don't hear ZoomZoom0 is the day we riot.
10:47 This made me snort laughing, unexpected but welcome xD
6:41 love the small detail of the laptop turning on when the door is opened, can tell how much detail was put into this game
27:52
No reflection or just barely
Why does every open world game nowadays suffer from hyperinflation? $65,000 for one coat, do the developers ever buy things in the real world?
You say "wow" every time you barrel roll 22:20
why does the name zoomzoomzero give me so many serotonins
so we had thunder rosa, evil uno and "cowboy shit"
The last shop past the ocular pat down , hence naturally the duster would be sold there .
Coming probably never: nerdcubed completes saints row (the new one)
oh my god i’m not even half way through and this is one of the best videos dan’s ever done. it is so fucking funny
Can anyone identify all the songs? I noticed “Woo Hah” by Busta Rhymes, “Party Up” by DMX, “I Left My Wallet In El Segundo” by A Tribe Called Quest, and “Für Elise” by Beethoven
I have high hopes for this game...and Im hoping this is just because of the build and Volition holding back...but the world seems lifeless. Yeah there are cars and NPC's but even their reaction and driving seem almost unaffected by the changes the player is making to the environment.
Why? We’ve already confirmed the game is trash. It’s worse than saints 3
@@burn3627 No one has confirmed anything. You would have to be an idiot to confirm an unreleased game is bad.
@@burn3627 what do you mean saint rows 3 was the best one so far this one looks great but I agree it need a more pedestrians walking around and cars update
watched you when I was 6 or 7 now I'm 16 happy to see you still going
11:20 Ok now I hope we can dress as Solid Snake while doing that lol
This entire video gave me joy. Thank you.
This looks like a return to form even down to the icons on the mini map they remind me of saints 2 and I hope the rest of the game lives up to it
looks like Watchdogs 2 without the hacking.
