Personally I think Saints Row: The Third is pretty alright at best but the gameplay wasn't very fun compared to either 2 or 4. I think the super powers in 4 made a big difference and it made me laugh consistently more than 3, it felt like the developers had a lot more fun with the fourth game in general tbh. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I love games that give me the feeling that the developers had a blast, it's the same reason I love Viewtiful Joe so much.

I paid 5 dollars on steam though I can't imagine paying 60 bucks for super jumps sort of grafted onto saints row 3.

i dont think it was ever 60, it was 40, and the devs admitted it was basically DLC for SR3 that they just kept adding poo poo to

even then, it's really good. just that the "super enemies" are really unfun bullet sponges, that dont actually do anything interesting.

i haven't played 2 but that's because i've only ever heard its praises sung by people who thought it Really Had The Balls to make the boss an unrepentant lunatic instead of a remorseful GTA protag but seeing as I've literally never gotten bent out of shape about the mission/free roam divide in personality in GTA idk if it would stick out to me. also anyone who gets peeved by :siren:LUDONARRATIVE DISSONANCE:siren: tends to have bad opinions to begin with, so

i liked 3 because it really felt like it was just having a lot of fun with itself without being too Wacky like i thought 4 got at times. it was very over the top, but there was kind of an overarching aesthetic to it that i felt got a little diluted in 4.

i mostly like sr2 a lot because the city is really great. they put a lot of detail and personality into it. every district feels very different and there's cool unique stuff all over. def my favorite out of all these open world crime games, and the complete opposite of the sr3/4 city which is the blandest poo poo imaginable.

i also enjoyed that there was more of a focus on driving, because i'm not a fan of when these games turn into a lovely third person shooter. the characters and cutscenes are pretty solid and i like that it feels a bit more grounded in reality than later games, though its still willing to get a bit goofy. the tone strikes a much better balance thats closer to gta san andreas, rather than nonstop krraaazzyy luchador/tron gangs and poo poo. give it a try, though be warned that the pc version is a poo poo port that needs mods to work

i just wish the gunplay was stronger like GTA's. it feels like you're firing variations of squirt guns the whole game, the explosive weapons being the only exception

lmao if you don't play saints row on easy so you can just punch everyone

saints row 3 is like red alert 2, they started getting more campy and wacky and stuff instead of super serious

not that this is a bad thing, really, it helps make the game more than another GTA clone

Saints row 2 is like the smb3 of the series. 3 and 4 are like if nintendo decided that they really had something with the doki doki panic angle.
