Saints Row IV, Even crazier than Saints Row the Third! But is that a good thing? Options

[Tanegar]

So, I picked up the "Game of the Century" edition, including all the DLC, in (say it with me now) a Steam sale... and I gotta say, I think the increased madness quotient actually hurts the game. I mean, I understand why they did it; once you own a whole city and put the beatdown on the paramilitary police force (complete with flying aircraft carrier!) sent to rein you in, there's really nowhere to go but up. Having said that, I'm much less engaged with the plot this time around. I kind of wish that, if they had to go with an alien invasion, they'd gone about it in a more conventional manner: fighting the aliens in reality, rather than in the Matrix. I also think the whole thing with superpowers was a questionable design decision, mostly because it completely obviates the need for vehicles and therefore does away with a small but significant chunk of gameplay.
