I mostly agree that Saints Row is poo poo now, but at least it has characters who find some meaning in their own lives from enjoying things like murder and singalongs. GTA is just completely poo poo and awful from beginning to end, because Dan Houser forgot what satire is and then filled GTA with it anyway. GTA V is basically just a lowbrow pseudo-intellectual who's thinks he's above everything and pointing out things and how the people who like them are fat and stupid instead of pointing out the absurdity of the things themselves. "Look at this dude who makes smartphones! He's stupid! Look at this guy who plays video games! He's fat! Look at this guy who works for the government! He's fat, and stupid! Just like the government! Look at this dumb bitch who likes yoga! She's fat, and stupid, and fat! People who like exercise suck! I don't like food anymore! Everything is poo poo! These three protagonists are a bunch of loving losers! Stop having fun!"

As a person who likes things, I don't like GTA.

Saints Row 2 keeps score of how many different gaps in the scenery you've flown through, how well you've parachuted onto the roof of a truck and how efficiently you've streaked by people. None of these things are advertised anywhere in the game until you try them and there's a few more. I wish more games had cool systems like that, that you can just get through the game without ever knowing about.

It was more of a lolrandom monkeycheese brand unfunny in 3 with all the Japanese gameshows and zombies and wrestling tournaments with chainsaws and people worshipping Burt Reynolds as a demigod for no loving reason. That last one is particularly dire since it wasn't even funny any of the previous times anyone made that joke with Mr. T/David Hasselhoff/Vin Diesel/William Shatner/Chuck Norris/Neil Patrick Harris/that beer commercial guy and whoever else. Hell, Archer did that joke with Burt Reynolds himself, and that was basically the worst episode of Archer ever. And frankly if Archer can't make something funny, that should be a sufficient indicator that the thing you're passing off as a joke may not actually be comedy material.

4 is where it got all "HEY REMEMBER THEY LIVE?"

I think you may be overestimating how much people actually think about video game narratives considering all the people who thought GTA IV – a story which consisted of nothing but a prolonged angsty whine about how much everything sucks (see also: GTA V, Max Payne 3) – and loving Spec Ops: The Line were in any way "mature". Presumably there's a lot of overlap between those people and the ones who declared The Last Of Us "game of the decade" because it had a protagonist who was both occasionally likeable and an undeniable rear end in a top hat, because that's all it takes for the low, low bar of video game writing to be considered sheer brilliance.
