SAINTS ROW 2 MAP VS SAN ANDREAS MAP SERIES
After such a meaningful progression of the series from the first game all the way to the third game, the plot (yes there is a plot to these games) was completely lost as soon as Saints Row IV hit store shelves. If Deep Silver is indeed thinking about creating another Saints Row game we hope that they ditch the whole Sci-fi Alien Helldiver themes, as these over the top concepts are quickly losing steam with longtime fans. The reason I made such an effort to explain Saints Rows’ characters is to point out that this is more than just a wacky game and although the series has grown wackier and wackier throughout each installment, Saints Row IV went too far.

Aside from his need to save 3 rd Street, Johnny has a tender heart…for those he loves at least (meaning Aisha)…and after the events of the first game some more things happen to Johnny that at times can be heartbreaking and explain his psychopathic tendencies. Gat started out as nothing more than an inhabitant of the Saints Row district of Stilwater and after he realized that the gang wars around the city was tearing 3 rd street apart, he volunteered to join the 3 rd Street Saints and end the violence that he loves so much.

Johnny is a fan favorite for the series and throughout the continuing story of the 3rd Street Saints, this seemingly psychopathic murder has shown deeper layers than what we see on the surface. Saints Row has created some unique and memorable characters throughout the course of its creation, one of which is the great Johnny Gat. For example, one of the side missions has you using a septic truck to devalue property throughout the city. Saints Row takes it up a notch and goes completely silly and over the top with its story and its gameplay. Then came Saints Row 2 which blew away all suggestions that it is any way releated to GTA, as the GTA series flies within a more serious tone with its gameplay and stories. Volition broke ground in the open world GTA clone genre with a surprisingly fun game that quickly built up a fan base warranting a sequel. The original game at its core was a wannabe gangster title pitting the player against rival gangs fighting to control the streets of Stilwater. In order to understand our grief with the direction Saints Row is currently paddling down we must travel back to 2006 when the first Saints Row game hit the Xbox 360 and with it came high reviews. If the rumors are true and Deep Silver’s next game will be Saints Row 5, some things need to change in order to succeed or it risks becoming irrelevant. Since then Deep Silver has developed both Saints Row IV and Gat Out of Hell, but has the franchise strayed too far from its roots under Deep Silver’s roof? One of those said bidders was Deep Sliver, who had acquired the rights to one of THQ’s biggest franchises, Saints Row.

Back when THQ went bankrupt and were forced to shut their door, their many projects and creations were auctioned and sold off to the highest bidder.
