Agreed that GTA IV was a bust. I have never been able to put my finger on it; I just thought it was sort of "too perfect". It felt like a chore every time I attempted to play it. Hopefully Saints Row 3 can overcome that.

That's a good way of putting it, it DID feel like a chore.
I found a lot of the friend interactions a waste of time too. Why should I have to spend time calling up a buddy and playing a totally crappy bowling or pool game?
I usually just took them to a bar and got them hammered and then throw them in front of traffic.
It also felt like there wasn't a ton of places or things you could do in it, too story driven. One of the best things about the GTA franchise was all the extra stuff you could do, but in this one, stuff like being a taxi driver was taken out. A lot of the places were just copies of each other. There weren't enough options of what you could do or where you could go, even though the area itself was so big. It was just a lot of time driving or walking down endless empty corridors of fake storefronts.
There seemed to be less of everything. Less hidden vehicles, less FUN vehicles, less extra games or side quests, less weapons, less explorable interiors.
