Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a lot of the aspects of the game. Specifically the customization (gang style, house decor, car mods, etc), all the activities you can do (which makes the open world actually have a purpose and them being fun which was the icing on top), the way you conquer a territory and how that relates to the mainline story (unlike gta sa where it was pointless), and how you could choose between fighting styles and just how much they differ from each other. Good stuff aside, I think it's the inattention to detail and lack of quality that put me off from completing the game again. Specifically the world design (which honestly looks even more generic than a sims map), the audio which is muddied crap (even for an 2008 game), and driving mechanics that are very unsatisfying and terrible at times (specifically helis are the worst). Another example is how you pick up Shaundi, Carlos, and Pierce (which are not even sure if they even want to join the gang, it all depends on if the player character can impress them), are already flying Saints colors in the very beginning of the game. I don't think a remaster would be good enough to fix all the issues I have with the game, it would have to be a remake to make all the flaws go away.
