FR I've never heard anybody have a positive opinion of that game, the 2022 title specifically. It was truely unintelligible garbage.

The rightwing called it woke, but it wasn't even woke, it was just pandering without substance. It insulted everybody on every side of every issue, like a bootleg GTA title.

EDIT: to clarify that I'm speaking of the Saints Row (2022) and not the franchise, as is the article.

like a bootleg GTA title.

You have correctly grasped the SR franchise. The first 3 titles were great and the 4th was playable at least. It actually outperformed gta in a lot of ways like car customization, and the ability to actually run, customize, and expand a gang.

No, I haven't. That's the whole point of my edit, that I'm talking specifically about how the 2022 title failed. I've not made a single statement about any other SR title.

I know, I'm just saying that has indeed been the whole deal of the franchise. Basically a more unhinged gta.
