Well it barely had any marketing, the hardcore fanbase of the franchise wants nothing to do with it, and it's an 8-12 hours game with probably not much replay value.
@BlastProcessing: Please don't misconstrue my thoughts. Saints Row The Third isn't a game that should be paraded as representative of gaming any more than Pac-man should be. But the idea behind it - the original premise and the fun gameplay, have a place in the industry as much as critical darlings like Heavy Rain and Journey.
It's had the same "original premise and fun gameplay" since the first game. If anything, its predecessors deserve the recognition. They were superior in nearly every department. And also there was more to them than dildo bats and other bits of LOL SO RANDUMB xD humor.
Sure, the attempts at serious storytelling were average, but its mix of seriousness and absurd humor worked.
