MODERATORS
I think they would have done well if they did not stray so far after SR2. It’s fun fooling around and being wacky in a game that has realism to it but when the game is built solely around being wacky it’s just boring.
I don't agree at all. SR3 and 4 were peak for me. I don't want a game that feels like it lives in the shadow of GTA. SR4 really had it's own personality and it was a ton of fun for me.
SR3 was the top game for me. SR4 was a bit too much, but SR3 felt like it hit that sweet spot of goofiness, insanity, and just enough realism for me to keep me invested in the world
And yet their successful games were SR3 and SR4, when the games could stand on their own instead of needing to tag along with GTA for publicity.
SR 1 and 2 were the best because they were like GTA, I don't consider it a bad thing. 3 and 4 were a bit boring for me because Steelport was one of the dullest cities I've ever seen in a game.
