But this SR4 is *not* the sort of dumb made by dumb people, or the sort of so-bad-it's-funny dumb no, this is well-crafted dumbness, made with deliberate care by extremely smart people. Saints Row IV is getting lots of great (and well-deserved) reviews, the tone of which can be summed up as "Gloriously dumb".
If you're only a little bit familiar with the Saints Row series, a mayhem simulator which started life as a Grand Theft Auto copycat, you might expect me to be about to lambaste the latest installment for being a typically misogynistic mess. Lots of voices out there calling for improvement, and pointing out that we don't *have* to be as sexist as we (regrettably) usually are. Yeah, gender issues in gaming has been on my mind a lot in the last few years.
