I don't really get the tonal comparison between Saints Row 2 and this new one at all; beyond "neither game has dildo bats or Professor Genki." I turned around and booted up SR2 once I finished the new game, and for better or worse it is mean as hell. Not just the juvenile humor, but the Saints doing pretty horrible stuff. They shoot a judge in the first mission in Stillwater and then slaughter a bunch of homeless people in the second. There is not much effort put into making our protagonists sympathetic.

I don't think the saints are ever supposed to be sympathetic

Saint's row 2 is still a wonderful game. I never played the first one, sadly.

Mercy killing Carlos in the rain has a different air when you do it in a hot dog costume.

That's one of the things I liked. The boss is a weird as heck person, a hotdog suit is just what they wear. When things get serious they get serious, but they're still the same hotdog suit wearing cockney lunatic
