I'm looking to buy Saints Row IV GOTC instead of the franchise pack because I know I wouldn't have the time to play the entire package.

But I want to know if playing the previous installments are necessary to understand the story line/character.

Never played the first two games, didn't finish the third one, still having lots of fun with this one. I'd say...yes.

I did try to play SR 2, but the cars effectively controlled LIKE ASS. Probably the worst port EVER...it was unplayable for me. And in SR 3 I ran over a bug at that mission where I was falling with elevator that had a fat guy on top which I had to shoot. And no matter how much I shot him, I always failed cause he'd never get blown off. So I quit.

Saints Row 2 is one of the best games I've ever played. Nothing beats it.

I love the SR3. In the SR4 you're a God in the matrix.
Complete both, I can't wait to the next.

SR 2 is no more than a bad GTA knock off, SR3 beats the shit out of it :D. And let´s not even start with how amazingly terrible the port is.

Yes, you can safely skip SRIV, and I recommend you do, I've not played it on PC but I pre-ordered 3 (Smooth Criminal Edition) and bought 4 from O/S (the Aussie version was censored) both on PS3 and I'm still pissed about wasting my money on #4. It COMPLETELY destroyed everything they built in #3.

Oh, you asked if you can skip TO #4...my bad...

You will hate yourself if you miss out on the previous games, buy the franchise pack, no exceptions. Then play the games in order, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th, trust me, its for the best.
