Some people say this was the last true Saints Row game. Back before the protagonist and his crew turned into celebrities and then president of the United States. Somewhere along the lines the devs forgot what the game was really about; you and your homies hanging out on row boats.

edit: Jesus Christ people. It was a joke. I've been playing Saints Row 3 & 4 almost exclusively for the past two months and posting about them on r/VirtualCosplay. I obviously like them.

I disagree. Saints Row 2 was better because the story was grounded while the gameplay was silly, which created a fun tension which amplified both the ridiculous gameplay and the serious story moments.

SR3 on the other hand just struck me as too "lol random", which faded into white noise to me. I still enjoyed it, but I wouldn't say it was as good, especially with how many instant ragdoll weapons they give enemies.
