This game just feels like a Five Below game to me

Never played a Saints Row game. I have played every GTA game since GTA 3 though. Never owned a PS3 or 360 so I didn't play them. I only recently played GTA 4 on PC back in 2016.

To catch you up as quickly as possible:
  • 1 is okay but dated, you dont need to play it. It's on 360 only.
  • 2 is everyone's favorite. PC port is bad, 360 version is the best. PS3 is probably also fine. Basically feels like GTA4 from an alternate dimension where they ran with the wackier side of San Andreas rather than trying to make something gritty and realistic. There was gonna be a reworking of the PC version of 2, but the guy working on it fuckin' died, so that's not happening.
  • 3 is all wacky zany zoomershit and has characters like a stereotypical pimp who talks entirely in autotune. It is drenched in 2011 culture. Runs pretty well on everything it was ported to. The remaster has performance issues though, so dont play that one. 3 is generally regarded as a good game, but not as good as 2.
  • 4 was originally DLC for 3 and it shows. They went with a whole superhero/alien invasion theme and your character now has superpowers like in Infamous or Prototype, rendering carjacking generally worthless. I didn't like it, some people did though, so ymmv
  • Gat out of Hell is standalone DLC, basically. It's okay. It's a musical that takes place in Hell and you can play as Johnny Gat and fly around with big ol' angel wings. Weird and not great, but cheap and short, so whatever
2 and 3 are the only ones that matter. The best Saints Row experience is Saints Row 2, on Xbox 360. There, you're all caught up, now have fun with us bashing the shit out of this new piece of crap.

If you're getting into SR, I recommend trying all the titles and see what you like. SR has flip-flopped with themes in its short lifespan as a series. It'll certainly be an acquired taste depending on what you're into.

They're often on sale, so if you play one that isn't for you, it's not a total loss.

Ah, yes, the burning question on every gamer's mind: how many """diversity""" checkboxes did the dev team check? Who fucking cares about passion for the craft, technological and design innovation, or enthusiasm for a franchise? All I wanna know is how many niggers and queers HR managed to dredge up so they could brag to all their friends about working in such a diverse and vibrant company.

As long as there is enough niggers, faggots, trannies and ugly women in it video game "journalists" will tell all the normies it's a good game go buy it now.

For me, it's the inverse. It's not even the fact that it's going into SR3 territory. It's the audacity of Volition being clueless of what fans EXPECT from a game like Saints Row. It had a massive opportunity to distinguish itself from GTA and threw it away with this woke pandering.

SR3 was bargain bin edge either way, it had the opportunity to go full-blown postal 2 but realized how stupid that idea would've been in the 2010's

Its not SJW its unfiltered fucking cringe. A problem the series had since Saints Row The Third. What you are seeing is nothing new. The devs took the fact people said SR1/SR2 was a blantant GTA clone to heart and tried to create its own identity and fucking failed and they continued to fail, stuff like IV, Gat out of Hell and Agents of Mayhem. Don't get me wrong I liked The Third for its gameplay (and Genki) but fuck its tone and story was absolute ass cancer and the new game is just Saints Row the Third on a larger scale. So the ass cancer has trippled.

Yeah, it's SJW cancer. It's all part of the cringe caravan.

Millennial edge, definitely. Especially that autotune pimp. Adult swim branded humor. SR3 is also the easiest in the franchise IMO. I never had much trouble with it, once you upgraded your character.

This came from a subsidiary of Take Two. The same company that allowed GTA: "Definitive" Edition to release. I didn't like the first Mafia, too archaic.

It runs on the Mafia 3 engine by the Mafia 3 devs so it's both not a shoddy port by a mobile studio and has modern mechanics.

It isn't the greatest game ever, but it's fun enough.

It's a proper remake as well. All the cutscenes and audio have been re-recorded from scratch WITH the Mafia III engine. They even nerfed shooting to further fit Tommy's lack of gun training. The attention to detail is not to be gawked at.
