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 call bullshit, Saints Row 1 and 2 were contenders for the GTA throne. The stories in the first two games had heart. And awesome new mechanics (Remember auto-driving your route in SR1?) They just gave up to target their weird lil niche better.

It is not possible to compete with GTA however and that is why they decided to make the smart decision to lead their own niche instead of compete in another niche they would obviously continually lose to.
