I did wonder why people were impressed by watching tv, in a game.

GTA4 will beat Saints row 2 in EVERY SINGLE WAY. Madbhal402

Most ways, probably. But SR already has one thing better than GTA. It won't matter to most people, but I'm going to enjoy playing as a woman for once.

Yea Your playing as a woman that will talk VERY RARELY during the whole game. Same thing goes for playing as a Man you dont feel connected with he story if your character never talks during cutscenes .

I'd take that over the storyline making women to hit on 'me'. That probably sounds alittle bigoted, but it's annoying when a game forces it on you if you want to progress.

You're right. Who cares (Me, aparently for bringing it up in the first place..)

I did like that trailer though. Streaking? ..Might be worth playing as a guy after all. >.>

I understand your point of view. If i was a woman i am sure i would have not enjoyed some of the aspects of GTA as much a si did being a man, nonetheless when a storyline is good , to me, it is always worth expoeriencing.

For example i plaied Syberia (an adventure on PC) in wich the main character was Kate Archer (obviously a woman) and i have to say to date that is one of the most incredible video gaming experiences i had...if you did not play it you should. It is one of the best female video gaming characters ever created. (You can buy it on Ebay)

It seems like a poor strategy to try to take GTA IV head on like that after the success it has had. Saints row is a far more arcady-style game, they are trying to get off on having a game wherein you can consistently cause mayhem, where as GTA IV creates an experience throough gameplay and story.

honestly, that reminded more of the more older wacky styles of gta. SR2 to be honest looks more fun the gta4. gta4 didnt have some of the things we loved the most i mean, why are the weapons so cr* ap

Since Niko story is so interesting! "hey Niko, go kill the president!" Niko: "Ok i hope the pay is good" what's the purpose of getting money in the game if you can buy anything!? at least in Saints Row you can customize your character with thousand of things, and you can play with it on the incredible multiplayer!

Please tell me how did GTAIV reinvent the sandbox genre? the clunky controls, the almost cell-shaded graphics? the car gameplay was good but it didnt fit the sandbox games.

Saints Row 2 is starting to impress me.It looks like San Andreas on upers.But it will never be as successfull as the GTA series so I dont know why they are making fun of it.

funny or not they do have a point. GTA had LOTS of stuff to do to just add crap to its core. Hopefully SR2 will make allt hose experiences a PART of its core. Then they should work on the fugly graphics

There is no question... The *** RPG's deliver some of the very best tense and exiting moments (Story-wise) in gaming... But come on... it is only because the story is basically 100+ hours long... and segmented... You play for 30+ mins just to get a 10 second cutscene into the story... Like a normal human beign... your driven to find out WTH is going on... so You continue to play for God know how many more mins maybe hours... for the next very rewarding 10 secs of cutscenes... Don't get me wrong... I Love the RpG's... But the story, the reading and the lengthy gameplay that follow the purchase of an RPG is not for everybody... Much less the for "Faint of heart"... or in this case "Faint of Attention"

But we stranded off from the real topic... Saints Row 2...

I for one have very high expectations for this game... Not because it should be better than GTAIV... But rather because it complements GTA... I mean... Huge Character customization abilities... Robbing stores (personal fav)... Co-Op gameplay... Real Estate... I could go on... But the point I'm trying to get through here, its simple... GTAIV is stiff competition to any sandbox game... and thats a fact... But why would we blind ourselves, knowing that we wanted more out of GTAIV... We were all dissapointed when the end of the story came and there was no way to spend the hard earn cash... The clothing aspect of the game was laughable... No Casino... I mean c'mon guys... Who are we kidding here...?

We could use some improvements... maybe they'll be fixed with the extra DLC... But thats just to far away right now... So hopefully this delay by the SR2 Team... will be capatilized... and a good game comes out of it... Instead of just another crappy knock off of the real deal...

Actually, I would rather be doing all those things than going bowling or cabaret or some other GTAIV BS. At least Saint's Row 2 knows how to have fun.

i think its pretty lame to compare itself so blatantly to GTA, seems like cheap marketing to me, wouldve been better if they just showcased all the cool stuff you can do in it instead.... however the game does look like alot of fun!! i wasnt even planning on getting it because i didnt like the first one at all, never finished it because i got bored, but ill definately be picking this one up! after seeing all the cool stuff you can do in it

Kind of funny. But in GTA dont really have to do those bowling and watch tv stuff, thats just basically background to make more realistic.

Hope thats not the final graphics for Saints Row as it no where compares to how nice GTA4 looked.

that's what makes GTAIV and the SR series so different even though they are the same genre and both great games (SR2 pending). You used to be able to "car surf" in the old GTAs, I used to do it all the time. You just stand on a car and shoot the hood then hold on lol. But in GTAIV you can't(ive tried). Its the whacky things like that and the sewage truck that make the two games different. GTAIV decided to turn to a more serious approach, which was a great swing from what the series usually did, and they made it work. GTAIV IMO is a great game, but SR2 has the same potential while approaching in a different way.

Funny how they used the "GTA font" in their trailer. Did anyone else notice that?

Good parody though.

it was pretty fun, but kinda offensive to those who like GTA4 (not like I really care though), either way, this looks like a must buy.
