I always felt 4 was just too cartoony to last. I enjoyed the super powers, but it did way too much damage to the series’ world (literally and figuratively) and left very little room to realistically expand. I get that they lost what they were planning with the whole Ultor thing when the rights split happens, but the path they took feels, and I didn’t intend the pun when I first wrote this, pretty scorched earth.
SR never had the brand awareness or “prestige” that GTA has. GTA presents itself as a satirical crime series, SR after 2 was cartoony fun.
Around GTA 4/5 , SR 3/4 I started preferring the saints row series.
I fucked up and ignored agents of mayhem.
