That's enjoyable yes, but there needs to be some balance. You want to put in some crazy easter eggs that wont affect the main story, sure, but a game that was supposed to be about gangsters is now about fighting aliens as the president? Fuck off. Having an alien hidden in a spot on the map or something that you have to find on your own time, like bigfoot in RDR or the mystery man, ok, but keep the rubbish out of the actual story. They completely molested the original idea of Saints Row in the process. Lets look.
Saints Row: You join a gang down on it's luck, and bring it back to it's former glory. It's srs business. A basic GTA clone with a compelling story. Wasn't amazing but fun to play.
Saints Row 2: You were in a coma, Saints are in disarray, the city has been taken over by some big corporation and once again you have to restore your gang and the natural order. Lots of new features and customization options that made the game fun, plus they added attack choppers, APCs, planes, etc. A much needed upgrade. Story was a little surreal but still plausible. And the game was mad fun and left lots for you to do after you finished the story.
Saints Row 3: The Saints have become international celebrities for robbing banks, killing etc, and sign autographs for their adoring fans (wtf?) Then they're dropped in a new city and forced to take down a rival gang who utilizes cloned giant gangsters to overpower opponents. Then you must deal with zombies, mexican wrestlers, a gang from the matrix, and a private army with weapons straight from James Cameron's Avatar. Half of the cars, modifications, clothing, and other options from the previous game were removed, instead were given a set of giant fists, a VR tank, and some fucking guy wearing a japanese cat suit, (among other stupid additions) The game was incredibly easy and offered no challenge (I beat it, side missions and all in 3 days) plus the story made me want to have a fucking aneurism.
And now we arrive at Saints Row 4, where apparently this gangster who was literally picked up off the street in the first game, has somehow become the President of the fucking United States? Forced to fight off an alien invasion using super powers? THIS IS SAINTS ROW, NOT FUCKING INDEPENDENCE DAY WITH SUPERMAN.
