You're dreaming. Saints Row is awful.

One of the worst GTA rip offs everywhere, I liked True Crime more

Here is why I hate it

All I know is that GTA4 went in the wrong direction. They didnt go off to far but I was disappointed with what they changed(GTA depth) and kept(same aim system).

The aim system works fine, why do people whine about it?

Aim system is fine, cover system is sluggish, most controls in GTA IV are sluggish.

No way.

SR1 done a few things better than past GTA's in fact. SR2 will be more fun than GTA IV.

Doesn't make a difference; people done the same with GTA IV.

While GTA IV will probably be a better overall game, I think that Saint's Row 2 will offer a better sandbox experience.

I agree with you TC, SR2 will be better than GTA IV, maybe not in critical reception, but in some ways I enjoyed Saints Row 1 more than GTA IV, im very confident SR2 will be better than both.

I'm not even going to lie, I thought Saints Row was pretty friggin' awesome. It was missing the GTA elements that made GTA so big but the thing about GTA is that it created a genre. You don't hear about WOW stealing elements from Final Fantasy or Call of Duty ripping off Medal of Honor.

Rockstar made a new genre of games and people keep docking the new ones on the block because they are die-hard GTA fans who think about the game in an almost religious way. I'm excited for SR2 because unlike a lot of gamers, but not all, I don't have a narrow vision and I don't just see what I want to see. It's all there in it's beautiful and gory existence.

I think SR1 was a lot of fun and I think SR2 will be the same way. GTA4 may be the critics favorite but I think SR2 will be a more fun game to play.

GTA kinda tries to take itself to serious but SR just tries to make over the top kinda fun.

Saints Row 2 will center around zaniness and over-the-top chaos, two things that should never have been removed from the GTA franchise with IV. Add in the customization, and the ability to do things like taking a waste-disposal truck and send crap flying onto people, and you get the game that I think GTAIV should have been like.

they're trying too hard to beat GTA and it'll all be a horrible mess

when GTA does things, it's funny

when SR copies, it's just stupid .. the humour is lost

There wouldn't be SR2 without GTA4

And the devs are so desperate to sell their crap so they hire a porn star to promote the game...

All flare, not substance

Exactly! Saints Row 2 may be enjoyable for some, but the quality is low budget material.
