The truth hath been spoken.

I agree

SR is trash

Not a big fan of either, but SR2 is definitely more fun.

For me, they are both awesome in their own ways. GTA IV, more down-to-earth and realistic and SR2, cartoony, lewd and very immature.... but GREAT fun. IV's multi is better than SR2 by miles for sure. IV and SR2 overall have a great story and interesting characters. If you like customizing characters, SR2 is your ticket. So in short, they are both kick ass games that will provide many hours of fun. I have both, so I'd buy them both. GTA came down to $40 so that may sweeten the deal for you. I'd wait for SR2 to come down in price before you commit. Hope this helps :)

None i am waiting for infamous and prototype

Story, polish, and presentation go to GTA, but in terms of gameplay (cooperative), humor, and customizability, Saints Row 2 is a blast. I made my character look EXACTLY like me... easily the best character generation tools I've ever used. And playing with a friend... how do you beat that? I hear people say that they don't like the lack of a cover system, but the human shields allow for mobile cover, which is great. Plus the shooting mechanics just feel better in SR2.

(BTW, that's my SR2 charachter as my GS Avatar. I can't ever get my funky lips to look right with most editors. I made myself look a bit angry so that I'd fit into Stillwater a bit better lol.)

Dude, theres no contest! SR2 is a crap game GTA4 is an awesome game.

GTAIV all the way

GTA has always been the better series and GTA IV is no different. But I had fun playing SR 2 and the coop is good times.

SR2 lacks the polish that GTA IV has and there isn't a character in the game that I gave a damn about, although I felt Johnny was better than he was in the first game..

I couldn't decide, so I got both :P

never played saints row but gta 4 hands down saints row just seems to be a copy

GTAIV all the way

[QUOTE="mo0ksi"] Would you rather want the series to evolve and mature or just have it still use its last gen gameplay formula?

I for one enjoyed playing pool, bowling, darts, and the overall realism of the game. I think it kills the last gen GTAs by a mile. It's a more well made game than SR2 by miles and that's a fact.

And if GTA4 is a brown-fest, then I don't know what to say about half of the games that have been released this gen.

90% of this gen is nothing but browns and grays, it seems like most devs forgot how to make vibrant worlds in their attempts to make everything HD

Also, where do you see all brown in this?

GTA IV is a game about Nico and Roman, Roman calls Nico to go bowling with girls from time to time



Saints Row is a game about YOU and the saints gang that YOU hang with, the game is about what clothes, music, cars, friends YOU have
its also about mindless humor without excusing itself

I really enjoy how one can visit comedy clubs and have Ricky Gervais do stand up for you but all in all even with GTA IVs prettier graphics I'd havta go for saints row 2 :)

where do you not see the brown in this?shadow_hosi

I own both and enjoy both, but lets be honest, GTA IV is a more sound and impressive all around game.

[QUOTE="donalbane"][QUOTE="shadow_hosi"] where do you not see the brown in this?shadow_hosi

I see yellow, blue, green, red, etc. Hmm...

Saint's Rows' humor is made by 12-15 years old for 12-15 years old. I felt my intelligence insulted by SR's "humor". I would take more serious tone of GTA 4 any day. And Nico and Johnny will eat every wanna be gangsta in SR for breakfast.

Never played SR2 but if it's anything like the first....GTAIV for me.killerfist

gta iv a brown fest? saints row 2 on the pc has some of the worst visuals of recent times and would have looked dated 5 years ago, its not fit to lick gta iv's boots, infact you can argue a modded san andreas looks better.

as a game its fun but just so messy and unpolished, the driving in the game is god awful, so bad its actually quite funny. a lot of the missions are just recycled mission concepts gta games were doing years ago. gta as a series has moved on from that and for me the more serious tone of gta iv with the emphasis on story and character was a welcome direction change.

gta iv, despite some faults, wins hands down for me

Grand Theft Auto takes the title of polish, but easily wins in the boring and repetetive and been there done that category.

From Fuzz to good old Mayhem to actual missions, Saints Row 2 has way more variation on gameplay, and the customizability is something GTA can't boast. I've beaten Saints Row 2 myself and then once completely coop with my brother and we are now starting it again.

If GTA 5 or whatever the hell they are going to call it plays like 4 I'm not going to even bother. Being artistic is great, but being art house schlock and forgetting about the game aspect is something Rockstar is not quite comprehending.
