What do you guys think ?

I think SR2 will beat the crap out of GTA IV.

GTA IV is the most overhyped and overrated game in the world. It was cool until I finished the missions. The online was boring and not fun.

in my mind, SR1 was more fun than GTA IV

No, SR2 is gonna bomb, and bomb hard, sadly. GTA IV is the masterpiece of its genre, and only the next GTA game has the chance to topple it.

It won't be better as a whole, but I like that it's crazier and you can do more things

I don't understand why you would even put up this thread? Saints Row 2 is not even out yet. How are you supposed to determine which game is better?

Think before typing.

If you say GTA4 is the "best" game this gen, or "goty" , etc

then youve obviously havent played GTA:SA like some of us

GTA:SA>GTA4 becaise GTA4 is BORING, GTASA is fun.

Saints Row 2 is OBVIOUSLY gonna have the screw around factor that GTA4 lacked an san andreas had.

SR2>GTA4 because GTA4= BORING

just because its not realistic doesnt mean it sucks

No way it will be better than GTAIV, just my humble opinion.

To me it looks like it looks too unoriginal, and not just in a GTA way. Like the ridiculous Ninja trailer for it whatever looked soooo incredibly cheesy. I guess between that and having that adult film actress promoting the game I dont have much hope for this game surpassing GTAIV.

Saints Row 2 isn't even in the same league as GTA 4. When you gotta bring in used up porn stars to sell your game, something is wrong. It'll be fun, but the developers don't have the chops to go up against any of the GTA games..

Not I. None of them hold up well today. GTA IV is just a much more polished and refined game. For me, it's quality > quantity, and it'll always be that way.

But what's the "quantity" got to do with it? I dont understand.

Only thing I thought was more refined about GTAIV was the control scheme, other than that, I liked just about every other aspect of Vice City over GTAIV.

I am an avid anti-GTA person but I do recognize quality. One can't deny the production values that GTA4 has.

...having said that, Saint's Row will most likely be way more fun.

carljohnson3456

OTS targeting, cover system, more realistic vehicle damage, and more realistic physics across the board, which is a big part of what makes GTA IV such an awesome experience. I could get that nostalgic bug, then go play GTA's of the last-gen, but that's all it is, a nostalgic bug, which would just ruin my memories of what those games were. When compared to a more refined and polish gaming experience, such as GTA IV, they don't hold up well.

See to me, Vice City and San Andreas still hold up. I didnt like the realistic turn that GTAIV, and I guess that's probably why our opinions differ so much.

I am not sure how SR2 will beat out GTA4 when it has a score of a 10 and the best SR was able to pull off with little competition was an 8.3. Honestly I am tired of these errand sandbox games. GTA 4 was so boring and repetitive. I mean I enjoyed Assasins Creed more and it was extremely repetitive as well but at least getting from one place to another involved fun platforming.

Crackdown platforming > Assassin's Creed platforming. Orb collecting > flag collecting. Blowing crap to bits and pieces > assassinating. Man, where's my Crackdown 2, Realtime Worlds?! Grrr! Hurry up with APB!

Haven't played it yet but even when I do GTA will be far from my mind. I suck at comparing games, I review on their own merits.

I don't get the whole the first wasn't good so the second will tank menality. The first game in the Hitman series was very Hit and miss now look at it.

What I really don't understand is why was SR1&2 singled out most of all as GTA clones. The devs seem to be putting in a lot of work for the game. Honestly I would have been offended if the guy from Kotaku came to me and said "Saints Row 2 Shakes Its GTA Roots" like it some kind of spinoff. And the "gamers" seem to support this drivel.
