Author Topic: Not sure whether to get GTAIV or Saints Row 2.  (Read 11522 times)

GTA has been around since the 90s. You've lost your right to talk, just leave.

Sorry for not being born earlier.

i heard GTA 4 was more realistic, in some good ways and some bad

I heard saint row 2 was awesome cause there was more action involved, although they both look the same to me

"I HEARD", might not be true facts, dont elt mine be your final desicion

You should have known because Saints Row came out only a year or 2 ago and GTA San Andreas came out in 04. Vice city came out in 02, and I doubt you're old enough but gta 3 came out in 2000.

GTAIV is a very realistic game, but I can't compare it to SR2 in realism because I only own GTAIV, and not SR2.

I remember Vice City coming out. Good times..

Gta 4 is a hell of a lot more realistic then Saints Row 2 will be. Look at Saints Row one. Saints Row 2 is GTA SA with one or two more weapons, better graphics, a completely unrealistic story, unrealistic gameplay and overall failure to be gangster content.

So in other words..

GTAIV > SR2

Saints Row is about "the gangster life". You get a customizable character and join a multicultural gang. It's unrealistic for various reasons. Mainly because it was made by some people who don't live in the city, have never or rarely been to a city, know nothing about gangs, and aren't really going for realism. Saints Row is more comical then Realistic. You run like a cigarette, jump like a cigarette, and do the gayest dances you'll ever see.

Typical wigger behavior right there.

This is a stupid question. Buy the original series that scored a 10 out of 10 on every site, or buy the cheap knock off that will surely get an 8 out of 10 or less. You decide.

Stop being a pompous douche. You should try/play it. I was thinking about getting Saint's Row it because it is fun, something that GTA tends to forget every once in a while.

Saint's Row 2 is the true sequel to GTA.
Also, tommybricksetti has been added to my "loving moron" list for concentrating on review scores.
forgeter

unrealistic story, unrealistic gameplay
It's not SUPPOSED to be realistic, it's supposed to be fun.
and aren't really going for realism
HOW'D YOU FIGURE THAT OUT?
 
Saints Row is more comical then Realistic.
Duh. Comical > Real Life. Saints Row was designed to be humorous violence, it's FUN. Guess who else did humorous violence?
 
They were loving amazing, and nothing they did was remotely realistic.
That's what makes TV, Movies, Comic Books, Books, and any other form of media interesting.

Shut the forget up, you have a serious problem with understanding that not all games are trying to be "Realistic", nor the fact that some of them SHOULDN'T be realistic.. Realism isn't constantly fun, it's boring. That's the reason GTA:IV got extremly boring there's virtually nothing interesting to do (Unlike GTA:VC, or any classic GTA game). That's why games were created in the first place, as entertainment, not a simulation of real life. Even The Sims, literally a simulation of real life, was fun because it wasn't realistic at all.

Just go it.

Greatest game ever. It has EVERYTHING. Car Chases, gunfights, sword fighting, tazers, planes, helicopters, prison escapes, etc.

I don't get what the big deal is. Hell, I have GTA IV and its loving fun as hell.
Ive never really played Saints row or Saints Row 2, So I cant compare but it looks fun to.
I'm not going to go on ranting about Saints Row 2, like tommybricksetti did, But Saints row 2 looks pretty fun.
If you really want my opinion, Buy GTA then later buy Saints Row 2. I have GTA IV and have been playing it for a long time, its kind of repetitive but its really fun once you get into it.

Saints Row is GTA for kids.

Well GTA4 isn't exactly realistic. You are driving a bike and then you hit a car and fly out and hit your head straight into a wall and live then too make it even more unrealistic you get up like nothing happen.
