Saints Row is the Pepsi to GTA's Coca-Cola.

The taste of a new generation?

You are thinking of Avalanche Software. Avalanche Studios Group makes Just Cause games. They are very much alive.

Not really they had mass layoffs but the point is the last two Just Cause games bombed and Square left. Unlikely we see a 5th.

Not to mention Rage 2 didn't do very well either, their reputation is becoming questionable now.

i just want to state for the record Saints Row 1 was better than GTA IV.

I thought Watch Dogs could surpass GTA, with how good Watch Dogs 2 is but, they didn't really regress so much as kinda pivot. 3 games in and they still dont have aircraft

honestly GTA's not even GTA anymore...so who knows. We peaked at San Andreas

Saint's Row while good only really had popularity when part 2 was promoted as the fun alternative to the dark and gritty GTA IV. Once GTA V came out it was a wrap.

Might say Sleeping Dogs.

I heard that the original actually had cocaine when it was legal back in the day? Some reference of cocaine I think in RDR2 as well in a pharmacy or something.

Saints Row is way more fun than GTA.

The original Coke did indeed have Cocaine which was an acceptable medicine back in the day. Sigmund Freud was a big cokehead and openly promoted it.

Thanks for the confirmation! Even kids seem to use some, of course in small doses as a medicinal extract:

They went from common painkillers to blacklisted substances, and now they’re standard again. Along the way, efforts to criminalize haven’t stemmed usage

This is incorrect. JC3 sold over 10M units and is the most commercially successful entry in the series. There were no mass layoffs at Avalanche Studios in recent years either.

Lol 10 million.

If we're including Just Cause why not Watch Dogs?
