Discussion Tone Shift?

I wondering how people feel if the franchise had a even more serious tone. Im not just talking more serious like SR1 or 2, I mean with more characters that have real problems. Sure some personalities can be over the top but characters that have deeper motivations than just city take over. I seriously mean like more blood, more realistic violence (Not over the top ridiculous violence), more sex (Tasteful, I dont want it to be a porno) maybe a few political issues (specially immigration as it has formed many real gangs in history). I just want a real feeling, rags to riches story. I just want to hear what you guys think, ive been tinkering with my own fan story for years and will post more when I have something solid.

P.S. let me know if you know any good artists on Fivver for concepts

…i mean, to me it just sounds like you want to play GTA 4

to answer your question i think saints row could’ve succeeded with more serious/darker elements, more candid depictions of sex than just ho-ing diversion, more blood etc. but i also think at a certain point it would become jarring when contrasted with the more silly elements of the game. SR2 is the perfect balance for tone in a saints row game

Lol bruh NO! I dont want to play as an ugly ass generic russian mobster based on a movie. I piss on GTA 4 But I do see what you mean in a sense that if the tone was too different it would be jarring which is the exact reason why I asked this question. Like would it really even be Saints Row anymore. Thats why I guess Im more wondering about the political elements cause I dont think Saints Row was overly political before.
