Television fans have watched actor Daniel Dae Kim jump from one successful TV series shot in Hawaii (Lost) to another (Hawaii Five-0). Unbeknownst to few, save gamers with keen ears, Kim is also the voice of Johnny Gat, the charismatic leader of the Saints gang (who has gone on to fight aliens as the President of the United States) in Volition’s Saints Row IV and who takes on Satan in the newest chapter, Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell. The actor — who made time in his schedule to play Jack Kang in The Divergent Series: Insurgent, takes on Playboy’s Lucky 7 Questions in this exclusive interview.
Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.
Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.
I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
Juan at SwitchWatchTV got his hands on Saints Row 4 Re-elected for Nintendo Switch. Check out his review here and see what he thinks.
He's a great voice actor in the game.
You mean Lost's Daniel Dae Kim
"Kim is also the voice of Johnny Gat, the charismatic leader of the Saints gang (who has gone on to fight aliens as the President of the United States) in Volition’s Saints Row IV"
Um. Not quite, there.
Also, only "gamers with keen ears" know he voices Johnny Gat? How about, "gamers with an internet connection and the ability to type the letters 'IMDB'"?
Real journalism, just as bad as the gaming variety.
I feel dumb. I had no idea he voiced Johnny Gat.
