I did not see an initial thread for the game, so I figured I would make one. This game had me on the fence at first, I loved the first three, But being the president of the US with super powers, fighting aliens? I thought that was completely stupid, But I caved and spent the $60 on it. To my dismay, The game is amazing! Picture Prototype and GTA combined, That is how I would define it.

Backstory
Saints Row IV is an action-adventure video game set in an open world environment. It is developed by Volition, Inc. and published by Deep Silver. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It is the fourth installment in the Saints Row series, after the release of Saints Row: The Third in 2011. As in previous titles in the series, the player controls the leader of the Third Street Saints, who has now become the president of the United States. The game returns to the fictional city of Steelport from The Third and takes place five years after the events of The Third, focusing on the Saints fighting an alien invasion as well as simulations of the gangs and enemies from their past.
The game's plot sees invading aliens place the player into a computer-simulated version of Steelport (the Saints Row: The Third setting) early on, and the bulk of the game takes place within this simulation. The simulation has Steelport constantly cloaked in the darkness of night, with largely computer-themed twists on classic Saints Row elements. Objectives are often based around hacking the simulation in order to work towards escaping it.
Saints Row IV still shares most of its gameplay aspects with the previous installment, Saints Row: The Third, being primarily played from a third person perspective in an open world map scattered with campaign quests, secondary objectives, and various collectibles. The player can steal, drive, and customize vehicles, and purchase weapons and clothing.
In an element new to the series, the player can now purchase and upgrade "powers" that offer superhuman abilities akin to those seen in the Prototype video game series,[1] which allow the player to leap up the sides of buildings, glide through the air, and fire several different paranormal projectiles, as examples.
