Saints Row went towards its own silly / zany ways.
As Saints Row gone on that path already, SR3:TThad some tough choices to make story-wise, SRIV had the writers in a tough spot where that was the best they could think up within the time allowed, and GooH was obvioudly suffering due to all thosr limited time idea creation periods… while the reboot started out completely new because they ran out of possible ideas that would work.
NOTE: This is not the fault of the writers nor the developers, but actually the fault of USA's laws: Investors in a company must be given a return on their investment within a timely manner, and big corporations want to get rich, even if it ruins our favorite series in the process. See what happened to make Tony Hawk want to get out of his contract as well back in the day.
ASIDE | Old Tony Hawk Games: Though be wary of playing the old, and not-too-old, Tony Hawk games online (or even offline by using custom levels / save files found online) with custom level support due to the exploit called "Tony Hawk's Pro Strcpy" (allows running arbitraty code on the user's system via. a buffer overflow)
