Although, some side activities were a bit more on the comical side than players would typically find in a Grand Theft Auto game, which Saints Row 2 then grabbed on to as it started to steer the series towards more ridiculousness. The game's story was much more focused on its drama. When the series first started in 2006 it was a more serious competitor to Grand Theft Auto and followed an urban gang during its power struggles. Saints Row wasn't always as absurd and hilarious as many fans now know it to be. RELATED: Dead Island 2 and Saints Row 5 Likely to Be Epic Games Store Exclusives

Gat Out of Hell was largely well-received by the series' community, but it also left many hungry for a full new title. While the game had a lot of the gameplay elements that fans of the series enjoyed, it also was missing a lot of the features that fans expected like full character customization, hangouts, or custom cars. The series has not gotten a new entry since Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell in 2015, which was a standalone expansion to Saints Row 4. Now, a tease seems to indicate Saints Row 5 will show up at the upcoming Gamescom, and fans of the series are understandably excited. As ridiculous as Saints Row often is, it has undeniably left a mark on the industry and many of its players. Players have come to love the 3rd Street Saints, whether it be from fighting turf wars, running around the Matrix as a superhero, or helping Johnny Gat escape from Hell.
The open-world action series is very well known for its ridiculous weapons, crazy antics, and over-the-top comedic tone that sets it apart from other games in the genre like the Grand Theft Auto series. Fans of Saints Row has been waiting for a new entry in the series for years now.
