Saints row 4

I played it for two hours last night. So far, it is more fun than a barrel of mandrill baboons.
Once I got to where you could get clusters, I grabbed a <XOR> (jet cycle type vtol) and just zoomed around the city.

It was originally supposed to be DLC for SR3...and then halfway through putting it together they realized they already had more content in it than the entirety of SR3...so they said fuck it and made it SR4...and added even more shit.

I have a confession to make, bros. I've never played any SR games. I've got them in my Library, but still haven't played.
But this ... this looks like hella fun.
Break it down for me. How would you compare SRIV to the other sandboxy games I've played like GTA:SA, and Prototype?

Saint's Row started as a GTA clone. The first game was mediocre to okay at best, was basically just a little on the silly side, and more of a throw back to like GTA 3 and earlier GTAs with shit like rampage icons and the like.
Saint's Row 2 was pretty decent, and was somewhat the same thing, but a little sillier or I dunno. The games don't take themselves very seriously. Well that one did pretty well, so with Saints Row 3 they went fairly all out ridiculous, the first 10 minutes of the game are, in my opinion, one of the best intros to a video game ever done because they are so over the top but funny, what have you. You'll have to play it for yourself I don't want to ruin it. It really is great.
Saint's Row 4 is 3 on steroids.

SR4 is 3 on steroids, and a giant satire/parody of just about everything videogame/internet, etc ever.
I think the movement super powers were given too early. That should be the threat for the end of the game. not make cars completely pointless 10seconds into the game.

I'm a little over 8 hours in and it says I'm 43% through the game. Most of that is side quests, about 6ish main missions, and very little wandering around.
I'm having about the same amount of fun I had with SR3, which was quite a bit. Sometimes I feel overpowered and then sometimes I don't. Sure I can kill most everything instantly but a lot of gunfire can hurt. The different challenges are fun, while not being wildly innovative most of them are different from what you see in many games. No bugs for me so far. Only minor slowdown after I minimized, then I did it again and it was fine.
I might push to 100% this like I did SR3, I just have been collecting things while traveling to different missions (especially the the 1200+ data clusters) and doing activities through to complete side quests.

Speaking of bugs; My favorite moment so far has been when I was doing one of those data hacks where you have to stay in an area holding off waves of NPC's... The npc's and cars started showing up more and more fucked up, from freaky ass model proportions to cars coming in upside down and bouncing around. I thought the physics engine just decided to fall apart, then realized it was 100% intentional.

Yea, it's supposed to be you disrupting the matrix and it going all screwy. There are AI side mission nodes you can do that seriously warp when things get close to them. It's hella fun tossing things into it to see how they get messed up. Will a dude spawn some huge ass titties? Will his eyes get huge? Will he go all gangly or come out a toilet? It's fun times.
I like how the random Sing A Long is becoming a Saints Row institution. The Sing A Long in SR4 is hilarious.
