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.
I’m the opposite. I loved the more realistic feel of GTA IV, which really fit the vibe of Liberty City and the more gritty story of Niko. I don’t like GTA Vs whole vibe.
My tier list of GTA:
SA
IV - feels unique
III - for nostalgia
VC
V
I hate pretty much everything about V and ended up hate-finishing it so I could properly complain. It lost most of the satire, all main characters were unlikeable IMO, the map felt empty, and the story sucked.
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.

Yup sr 3/4 were fun whereas GTA was not by 4/5. I hate driving in those games.
5 is definitely better but fuuuuuucck the driving physics in 4

It was so satisfying to drift around the corners of Liberty City. I loved driving on GTA IV
Yeah, it took some getting used to, but it was a lot of fun.
Saints row 2 was better than gta4
