[QUOTE="slothboyadvance"]Holy crap... a 10.
My heart jumped a little when I saw it...
I'm thinking GOTY
Dreams-Visions
Thinking? No other game will possibly get a 10.
It won't happen. It's over already.
I'm thinking Wii Fit will get an eleven...
...try saying that with a straight face! :lol:
What a joke. This is almost as bad as when they gave THPS3 a ten.mis3ry
Your sig explains it all, kiddo. Don't be mad because the PC isn't getting it.
I honestly need to ask you saints row 2 fans this how could you eve think of buying that game now ?? GTA4 took what saints row 1 did mediocrely and made it into something beatiful.
The online is better
story = better
graphics = better
score = better
There honestly isnt going to be a need for a saints row 2 IMO.
Gh0st_Of_0nyx
Yeah, because God forbid someone have opinion different from you. :roll:
Also, you do realize it just might possible to...I do not know...play and enjoy both SRII and GTA IV? :|

You kind of answered your own question this our opinion. We can have and enjoy both also of course GTA 4 would be better it is newer and has had time to improve also it has great devs. I don't know everything about the story, but if it builds off of the last game like I think it will from the trailer it could be amazing. Graphics SR 2 is aiming for a different less realistic artstyle. Also we still don't know everything about the game, I don't see the reason to compare them at every turn.
This is probably why they changed the review policy so a game like this could get a 10 when before one little thing would bring the game down. Hopefully we won't be seeing any more 10s for awhile after Metal Gear Solid 4 :P They would be the legendary duo for most of this generation and it would mean something.

But for what reason ?The engaging story ( :roll: ) ? or the lackluster online ?
the 1st saints row was pretty much a strerotypical pile of garbage with mediocre online with GTA4 getting so much praise ad perfect scores IMO there would be really no point to get saints row unless you eithe:
A. LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SERIES
B.Like to waste 60$
It would be nice if MGS4 got the score as well...but I wouldnt count Gamespot to start handing out 10s to every big game...especially to a PS3 exclusive.This is probably why they changed the review policy so a game like this could get a 10 when before one little thing would bring the game down.

GS's 5th perfect 10. That's great, although there are still things under the "Bad" section, which makes no sense. But still impressive.Willy105
Well no game is perfect.

Its prime, not perfect, no such tihng as perfect.
[QUOTE="ReverseCycology"][QUOTE="Thrillhouse"]Just FYI that review was from the Gamespot UK site, not the normal GS site.Tjeremiah1988
So it still has a chance for a 10!!!
dont think it matters. since when has a score on the UK site been different from the US?
I knew it was going to get a 10 I just knew it. Believe!
I can't believe what I'm seeing! Either a game doesn't get scored well enough ("oh noes, it should have been a 9.5, GS is teh biazzzzz!!!! wahhhhh") or it scores amazingly well and they're STILL somehow biased ("what? this game didn't deserve a 10 or 9.5, they overrated it, it's really a piece of crap").
I feel sorry for the GS editors now. They just can't win no matter what.

So they don't have the "perfect" classification now? Oh well. Very high score anyway. I bet it can't get any higher! :DI think its time for Dreams-Visions to change is SSBB icon to some sort of GTA4 icon:DPro_wrestler
Yes indeed. Something like showing Niko in a car he just jacked, running over Link and his horse Epona, lol.:lol: You know, beings that GTA IV is doing a hit n' run on OoT and all.

Now your starting to sound like a fanboy, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it is a waiste. Also give us a reason why you hate the story and online.

Ehh, this just means GTA4 is as good as tony hawk's Pro skater 3.Acemaster27If the two had been reviewed during the same year...then 10 really wouldnt mean much...but being the first game in 7 years to get a 10 on Gamespot and the first game in 9 years to get a 10 on ign is historical overrated or not.

They got a similiar score. Let's wait another 10 years to see if GTA4 can stand up, ok?[QUOTE="Pro_wrestler"][QUOTE="Willy105"]GS's 5th perfect 10. That's great, although there are still things under the "Bad" section, which makes no sense. But still impressive.Willy105

So they don't have the "perfect" classification now? Oh well. Very high score anyway. I bet it can't get any higher! :DThis is simply saying it's as close to perfect as it can get, which is what a 10 has always been anyway. It's just the forumites who casually tossed about the term "perfect", not the reviewers.
This is a night that Lemmings and Cows can put aside petty fights, drink a cold one, and toast each other, knowing that we made the right choice in a next gen console.
This is what gaming should be, freedom, choice, superb storytelling, competitive online gameplay, entertainment for adults that rivals and surpasses that of TV and film!
Gaming should not be reduced to the lowest common denominator, simple party and puzzle games, no-story action romps for quick thrills.
Its good to see gaming is still moving in the right direction.

holy crap it got a 10. I really wasn't planning on picking this one up, but after all of the insane reviews it's getting my hand just might be forced.

I hate the story because it was full of racial and the ethnic sterotypes the over the top cursing and "slang" they put into the game was laugable and the blank slate protaganist you played felt stale GTA:SA sufferd from alot of those problems aswell. The online mode of the game was just as stupid very repetitive and no replayability. To me saints row 2 wuld be a waste in light of the monster that is GTA4 I really cant think of any reason for anyon to want to own it with GTA4 out right now andliving up to and EXCEEDING many people expectations.[QUOTE="ironcreed"][QUOTE="Pro_wrestler"]I think its time for Dreams-Visions to change is SSBB icon to some sort of GTA4 icon:DWilly105

But it's ONLY for adults, which will bring a lot of critizism abroad from thes outside media, who's not yet ready to accept that a game that doesn't have a "Wii" in the title could possibly be for anybody over 14.This is a night that Lemmings and Cows can put aside petty fights, drink a cold one, and toast each other, knowing that we made the right choice in a next gen console.

Cheers. I also hope GTA IV has opened a pandora's box that will make other gaming devs look at what Rockstar did right and take what they've learn and make their games better.

Though I didn't see much slang or ethnic stereotyping maybe Julius said plaer once in a while but that ws the only thing that stuck out. I also like how they chose different gang types instead the usual Bloods, Crips, and Mafia type they were all unique. Plus there have been blank protaginists in games for years, but once you reach the last levels he does talk and he talks more frequently in the next game. But this is your opion you can play what you want, just allow people to play what they want.
Why is something wrong if that happens? If the game wins universal praise for excellence because it earned it, somehow the industry is broken? why?Anyone else think its sad that this game is being treated as the epitome of gaming?

That would be sublime, as long as they see what Rockstar did right with the game, not just build stupid games based on sex and violence.
Gaming is an up and coming art-form, and needs to be seen as such. To many people see it as a toy, or hobby, and even some in the industry that actually makes games see it that way.
If dev's do what you are saying, and look past the media storm, and see what Rockstar did right to make this such a gem, then gaming will have a bright future indeed.

No. sounds like an awsome game. I hope it gets what it deserves and i hope it deserves a 99%
