SPOILERS Least favorite thing in the game?

Mayhem with stomp, any of the rifts and superpowered fight club.

I felt that this game improved on a lot of things from SR:TT and there wasn't anything to hate other than a few activities that you must complete for 100%. I am also aware that the conversation your crew was introduced to parody Mass Effect but it also made my homies feel very static and "robotic"... which I figured was intentional.

I felt that the difficulty was more balanced to your powers this time compared to SR:TT. This didn't stop me from getting an "intense difficulty" mod. Missions that take place in reality, with the mech suit, are mostly fine except before the mech has guns. The "dash" move the mech has could be greatly improved without feeling very disjointed and useless. I wish we also knew the details of how Kinzie escaped.

That's it? That's your huge disappointment? You can disable that with a cheat or a mod. Or do you mean you also hated the rest of it? Is it that different?

It's not only that, also the whole setting of the game. Not to mention the few missions that I did play, I didn't like them at all.
 
Gotta add the "blink and you crash into a wall" thing during "The Escape" to my previous list: I was replaying it yesterday and seriously, coughed for like a second, wham, bam, you're dead.
I thought we got over these things somewhere between the '80s and the '90s :D

Do you remember the missions you played? Because the only missions I didn't enjoy where the forced activity ones(big reason i didn't like SR3 that much) and the Game of Clones one.
 
we have a saying in German "Bilder sagen mehr als Worte" ie Images may say more than a thousand words, so here my least favorite things about SR IV in a nutshell and well few words.

1. boss too soft now to react on Kings disrespect... a grenade -> mouth -> brute cutscene would have been my renegade interrupt. heck even in RL i may have been tempted in such situation.

2. lasers lasers blink & too much of everything .. ah yes and mario jump puzzles

the issue putting so much stuff on the screen on the same time remembers me on one thing being wrong with the new Star Wars Movies..
to quote Rick MacCallum the SW Producer: "Its so dense, every image has so many things going on.." it didnt worked in the new SW´s, and it doesnt work here in SR either (imho).

An interesting and entertaining analysis on latter and the issue with it can be found here:

I think there are just some people playing Saints Row who might just benefit from another, similar game instead.

I don't see how not getting mad at King for 1:Stating the truth and 2:making a joke makes a person soft, how dare someone have a sense of humor and not be uptight.

Isn't it obvious? If you don't jeopardize humanity's only chance for revenge by killing a much-needed ally over a harmless joke, it means you're a huge pussy.
 
My least favorite thing in the game is ben king's loyalty mission, while i understand what they were going for, i honestly just rush to finish that mission so i can be done with it, probably the thing i hate in the game the most.

Activity wise, genki's M.O.M., at least getting gold, and the rifts are the only things that drag down the activity part of the game for me, sure hacking can be a pain at first, but it's also pretty easy once you get the hang of it, the rifts just are annoying.
 
IN all honesty? I don't hate the game either. It has less issues than what I had for 3, but there were still a few issues as well....

1. I did like some of the music, though the arrangement is confusing as hell. Though to be honest that's my own personal issue considering just how much I hate the "Just a Friend" song by Biz Markie..because..umm...RL people made sure I hate the song forever.
2. The customization is dwindling yet again, away from Saints Row 2, in which you can build just about anything you want. Seriously, why is the customization gotten lower than the first one?
3. I..hate....the Genki Mind over Murder...that might be just me, but I can not get a gold on the Medium and hard to save my life..hell, I can't get a Silver on the 'Hard' one. In fact I threw a guy and the second ticked by, which forced my Silver to Bronze >:I.
4. I don't get Speed Rifts all that much..feels like those Japanese games that Americans watch but can't touch.
5. The 'congradulations' on buying the game, so here's all the outfits that nobody else will get if they rent it...And really it's only because I'm broke that I'm miffed about that.

6. In the end, it's just the fact you drive further away from the original idea, which was a silly GTA. Sure, it's better to move further away from that, but to be honest folks, it's funnier when you 'CREATE' or witness the hilarity, and not have it dropped upon you.

-I mean, nothing was funnier than watching a Pimp car get hit by a Brotherhood car, while a cop was chasing you in Drug Trafficking. So a Pimp was chasing a Brotherhood who was chasing a cop who was chasing me.
-Random guy steals a Dead Brotherhood's car.
-While a person was watching, I get the chainsaw, get the widowmaker (vespa) and drive around killing people, then riding off. It was the slowest police chase ever.

It might be just me though, but I missed the randomness that you run into, and not when the main plot is giving you silliness to work with.
