sweetharmony Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Now i know that most members off a GTA forum are gonna state that GTA is the best game ever and rules all it surveys. However I'm a casual gamer so i don't mind trying new games every now and then and i don't really spend months and months on games (I buy a new one and spend a couple a hours a day on it for a month or so then leave it to rust ) But however after playing Saints Row at a mates i was pleasantly suprised .I think it's better as it has ragdoll system to it and it doesn't have a lock on aim (more freedom) .You can Customize your character more (for style and for laughs) and there's little easter eggs such as being able to smoke a blunt for more health .Gang wars are more spread out and intense with many off your men spread out all over an area .You can blow up trains and there are gangs off girls and guys instead off just guys Although all this Saints Row pro talk is probably boring you and i have to admit there are rusty bits (The story aint that great and sometimes the Vice Kings look like fat chickens) however i sitll think its a good game Do you ???

ElBarto3131 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Theres been many topics like this so this will probably get locked. And how can you compare 1 game to an entire seres. And BTW GTA P0wns Saints Row. Oh, and this is a GTA forum, so obviously people here will like GTA over Saints Row.

Gouveia Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I think it isn't fair to compare a PS2 game with a 360 game. But still, GTA is better. It isn't the creator of sandbox games, but still, it's the one that perfected the formula.

Kewfmwpj Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 SR is good there's no denying it, however it just not meet the GTA status it nearly get's it but falls short. It feels there is something missing in it that GTa does have. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/311688-saints-row-v-gta/#findComment-1057496126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Jensen Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 SR is good there's no denying it, however it just not meet the GTA status it nearly get's it but falls short. It feels there is something missing in it that GTa does have. That my friend would be a soul. GTA has a soul. Just like all great games. MGS, DMC, Final Fantasy, Hitman, Mafia, Splinter Cell etc. Saints Row just has no soul since developers themselves pretty much said they based it on GTA Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/311688-saints-row-v-gta/#findComment-1057496617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Rockstar Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 We haven't even played GTAIV yet and you can't say anything about comparing them. Though, we will know GTA4 will be better.

YourNeighborhoodKiller Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Both games are great no doubt. But Saints Row isn't yet on GTA's level. Of course Saints Row is new, so if GTA is over after IV (which I doubt). Saints Row could be the new best freestyle game on the streets.

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Saints Row was good, it was the best attempt at following in the footsteps of GTA and for that it earns merit but the problem with it is it hasn't got the soul or humour that GTA has. If you like GTA you should enjoy SR that's all there is to it. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/311688-saints-row-v-gta/#findComment-1057496949 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glycerine Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I don't like Saints Row at all. It tried way to hard to be GTA. I was playing it and it felt like a complete rip off. It showed me that the developers could not come up with there own ideas, so they just tried to make a sh*t version of GTA. Saints Row 2 is going to be no better than the first one in my opinion.

Daz Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Saints Row was very underrated. I am going to skip alot here and simply say the following. GTA does a wide scale of alot of great things, Saints Row, does the things that GTA doesnt do perfectly. But lacks the bundle of features GTA has. Basically Saints Row doesnt try to copy for its own recognition, but to just take what GTA does well, and improve on the main features, and add more to what they KNOW people enjoy. Disliking a game because it is really similar to your favorite game is probably one of the stupidest reasons not to like it. If it is so much like a decent game, then you should enjoy alot of it. It may not have as much, but it certainly does the core things correctly. And this time around with Saints Row 2 having full story co-op and GTA4 looking as if it wont, I will most likely buy Saints Row 2 for that. Anyone who likes GTA games and doesnt like Saints Row, not even a little bit is a hypicrit. It may have had bad driving and they ran like they had just sh*t themselves. But It was fun with what it gave us, and knocking it just because it took all the aspects people liked out of San Andreas and put it into a slightly different look on the idea doesnt make the game bad at all.

Ronmar The Only Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I disliked Saints Row for the similar reasons as everyone else, it doesn't have a soul. The story was really sh*tty and certain things tried to be funny, but really weren't. Also, I have never been a fan of ragdoll. I rather have a preset or maybe the new engine in GTA. Ragdoll is only funny to me in FPS were you can just blow someone half way across the map.

Ragered Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 yes saints row has modern grahics [well when it came out] cool havoc pyshics some fun features but thats where it ends pretty much i have finished the game on my 360 and there isnt much at all to do gta is just way more deep it may have a dated game engine and stuff but it has about x3 the content plus have u seen the frame rate on saints row? its horrable 1 mission was unplayable, in the end saints row is ok but when gta4 comes out it will be forgotten thats basicly all i can say Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/311688-saints-row-v-gta/#findComment-1057505338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kewfmwpj Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Anyway going by alot of peoples logic here is GTA 4 not copying Saints Row by adding online? It's all give and take.
