First time I'm even thinking about going back to GTA after the ignominious death of Saints Row :/

I prefer my mass crime simulators funny but no one's really doing that anymore

Wait what happened to Saints Row? EDIT Nevermind, I never even heard of Saints Row 2022

I feel like I remember saints row 3 being very good and 4 being kinda lame

Volition (Saints Row devs) were planing on making an actual Saints Row 4, but their Publisher THQ went backrupt, so they decided to turn the Saints Row 3 DLC into Saints Row 4 (There was supposed to be some extra missions were you met with previous dead saints members and was this cool moment but they had to cut that due to time and lack of a proper budget).

According to internet fascists, it went woke :(

Was it any good? I'm thinking not because I would have heard of it.

No, it was unfinished mess and it had a bad story (not because of "woke" or whatever) it was just boring with boring characters and non-sense plot, and it being a reboot it didn't have anything good from the previous games.

The developers wanted to make a funny game but at the same time be a gangster game like saints row 1 and 2. I heard the plot was about how the Saints gang begun and I guess it also had the Vice Kings and Los Carnales. They also wanted to return the series main villains, the Ultor Company.

The producers didn't want any of that, they wanted a GTA/Watch Dogs 2 clone, I heard they didn't want the developers to use the color purple (which is the main color of the Saints Row series and the gang). The developers had to fight to keep it that way. They also rewrote a lot of scripts with millennial jokes and other things that had nothing to do with the Saints Row series. In the end, they didn't even give the developers time to finish the game properly and the result was a horrible, bug-ridden mess.

If you want a good gangster Saints Row game, just play the Saints Row 2 on pc with the Gentleman of the Row mod. And if you want a wacky Saints Row game, just play Saints Row 3.
