Games I Like That Everybody Else Dislikes

Double the length and halve the price, then you've got yourself a pretty worthwhile pack here. Imo though for a day or two it's still an easy winner - blowing through enemies with the Pain & Gain and doing improved wingsuit challenges in the (super gorgeous) new district is an effortless blast. Though as it stands, this is still fun but staggeringly paltry - featuring missions that just feel like weaker versions of the ones from the base game, of which I remain a defender in spite of all its shortcomings, and a piss-easy stealth angle. Any section involving the other three new Saints feels tossed-off, like they're already trying hard to get rid of these guys. Even still, actor brain is never a low-hanging fruit in this day and age - and this isn't a terrible diagnosis, James Arnold Taylor is hilarious as a Vin Diesel parody. Strange they didn't do more to lampoon GTA V given the clear parallels here, but at this rate it's clear I'm already asking too much. Heavily flawed but honestly still glad this exists.
