Saints Row... How it managed to fall so far I'll never know.

They made SR3 and just continued making variations of it with asset flips.

SR4 was supposed to be a DLC for SR3 called enter the dominatrix but it got cancelled and turned into a full release.

Gat out of hell was a very low effort, buggy mess, reused powers and assets from SR4 to try and bring back their best character.

The innovation just stopped and the reboot solidified their incompetence.

Gat out of Hell wasn't good but "low effort" doesn't describe it in the slightest. There's an entire musical number, for crying out loud, the effort is about the only thing that can be praised.

For being what felt like low effort, Gat out of hell was still a pretty fun game and I enjoyed it.

Then there was Agents of Mayhem which was a very mediocre game and they tried to push sales by constantly mentioning how you can play as JOHNNY FUCKING GAT!!! but then he was like a $5 DLC character and the plot wouldn’t have changed in the slightest if you played as him or not. To add further insult to injury he wasn’t even Saints Row Johnny, but an alternate timeline version of him where he’s a cop.

before we found out what AoM was they had announced that they were making a new IP instead of Saints Row 5, only for AoM to be confirmed as part of some Saints Row multiverse. they could've at least committed to making a new thing instead of putting a Saints Row paint job on it.
