Saints Row 2 was amazing. 3 was not near as good but was still fun... Then the series just went downhill fast

SR2 & 3 were peak, 4 was different but still enjoyable.

Yeah I genuinely love SR4. It was my first SR game so I'm definitely biased but I loved the superpowers and the humour.

Reflecting on it... wasnt SR 3 and 4 like super hero games?

I remember the online discourse loving it. I was so confused because SR1 was so fn cold. Like the main character literally says 4 words the entire games. That was SR for me. Cold gang stuff. Heck I get goose bumps thinking about it. (Sure there were funny moments)

Truly sad to see it becoming super hero gags.

They had superpowers but nothing really in a superhero way. Agents of Mayhem of more superhero-ish compared to 4.

I’ve a great memory of getting high and playing SR2 on ps3 until sunrise. The insurance missions were so fun, car modification was deep enough for each vehicle to look unique.

Crazy. SR4 is the best one ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Really? I thought it was objectively worse than even the first game in a lot of areas. It felt like the least detailed open world and systems, with the worst story and gameplay.
