I thought to myself "oh huh they're making a new saints row I guess. Wait, they already made it? Wait, its on sale for 67% off? Wait, it came out today? and its got mixed reviews and is 67% off day one?

LOL

I didn't know it came to Steam, I was genuinely a fan of the third game. The blend of parody and satire of celebrity culture and action hero super criminals was a lot of fun. However I'm always kinda felt like it was a game of its time (not in a bad way) and a reboot of Saints Row never really made sense. I would understand a sequel of Agents of Mayhem that reworked its mechanics and built off that more than a Saints Row reboot. Saints Row plainly doesn't work in the modern age, at least not whatever this game is.

I mean how would you bring a new plot ~~just as zany as the other Saints Row games~~ to the table after what they did in SR4 and it's spinoff?
