You must be the bizarro version of me. I got the double pack over the summer, played both saints games for about ten collective hours, and couldn't bring myself to finish either. I got the third in a drunken haze, and when it arrived I figured "why not give it a shot?" I 100% the game in two days and fucking loved it. Maybe the Saints games are games you have to play during their release, because I didn't think the first two aged too well.
I've wanted these ever since Mr. Dan Amrich mentioned them on the One of Swords podcast about a year ago. I love retro art style, and video games, so I'm the perfect audience.
