I preordered this on epic games so that I wouldn't have to wait until an amazon PS4 version arrived, or didn't arrive (on time), most of a day later. It's better having it on PC too for the graphics, etc, and maybe some mods in future if that's even possible on epic. I've never bought a game on epic before though and use gog instead so even though I'm not happy using the epic client or having got the game from there it's Saints Row so went for it anyway.
As for the game though when playing, it seems like something I could spend dozens of hours on and there's plenty of cool stuff there by the looks of it so I'm glad to have it now. I've always gone back to SR3 and/or 4 after a certain amount of time purely to mess around in the game and go around doing sidequests, collecting stuff, screenshots, etc, so that could be the same here too eventually.
I'm really not someone who buys these games to overly focus on the main story either and prefer doing my own thing so story/characters isn't something that affects me much really (I'll miss Kinzie though definitely, she was a great character, strange, funny, and hard to replace.) and partly for that the bad reviews don't really mean much to me either. They do have valid points about bugs clearly but almost every game that exists lately needs several patches so that's nothing new to me either, more a matter of patience for a while with patches.
I don't think some critics will ever get the fact that some of us just like chilling out and/or messing around on these games either so there doesn't always have to be some huge point to everything and it doesn't have to be some type of groundbreaking game either. And this looks like a decent sized upgrade when it comes to graphics, customising, game world, cars, etc. So for those reasons I'll probably be fine playing this and having paid full price for it.
