Saints Row was among the GTA's of the world in it's heyday. That shit falls on the suits.

SR never had the brand awareness or "prestige" that GTA has. GTA presents itself as a satirical crime series, SR after 2 was cartoony fun.

Around GTA 4/5 , SR 3/4 I started preferring the saints row series.

I fucked up and ignored agents of mayhem.

I always felt 4 was just too cartoony to last. I enjoyed the super powers, but it did way too much damage to the series' world (literally and figuratively) and left very little room to realistically expand. I get that they lost what they were planning with the whole Ultor thing when the rights split happens, but the path they took feels, and I didn't intend the pun when I first wrote this, pretty scorched earth.
