Can We Learn From Saints Row Seris?


Recommended Posts

None of the gtas will come anyway near the childishness of Saint's row, even SA was a little bit sensible the majority of the time.

GTA always has had style and a sense of maturity about it, it was well written and clever humour with the well placed crude joke.

SR hd none of that and instead just makes you do loads of really stupid sh*t.

 

The day gta makes me run around butt naked and spray sewage on people is the day I lose respect for gta

 

Now please bare in mind I really have no issue with SR, in fact im really looking forward to saints row 3, I tried very hard to like SR2 but I hated the driving and shooting controls, so I just could not get into it. I really wanted too, I like the way gta is going , but it's nice to have a crazy game out there too.

 

And GTA4 was not realistic, just because it's missing a few features, people seem to think it makes it realistic.

The last mission had you chasing after a helicopter in a blackhawk, stolen by a stoner jamacian in about 5 minutes after he left you!!!

Don't forget about jumping onto the blackhawk via motorcycle jump.

 

 

Or how about whenever you were involved in a bank heisit where you mowed down cops by the dozen taking multiple bullets to the face and torso and then escaping into the subway where after awhile they decided to stop looking for you...?

 

 

I really think SR2's save system should be adapted. There's a save/load option in the menu, you pick save, pick a slot, then when you load the game, you're at the safehouse closest to where you saved. It would save the hassle of driving across town for every save don't you think?

I like that idea. I also hear of this garage that's supposed to be so good. We need that too. And a little more customization wouldn't hurt. I'm not talking about create a character, but at least better clothing options, and such.

I have gained respect for you because of this post. I thought I was the only one that knew the difference between realism and lack of features. Do you know what realistic items R* didn't include in GTA IV? Tanks, jetpacks, jetpacks without the packs (see what I did there?), haircuts, and a whole bunch of other sh*t. Sure, you probably won't see a tank rolling through your local city, but when does reality prevent it from happening?

 

The second part of your comment is possible (stealing a Blackhawk in a few minutes), but it isn't likely to happen. Just remember that we live in a world where just about anything is possible.

 

So, GTA SA does have quite a few elements of realism. However, I won't disagree that it gets over-the-top or sometimes outlandish.

The only thing I would like is the save system like someone else said. Oh, and the garage system that would save the cars even if they were destroyed. Other than that R* should not take cues from the Saints Row series.

 

GTA is like a well written parody (I'll use Blazing Saddles for example). It can be funny, but without the un-necessary blatant toilet humor. Sex jokes are a trademark, but R* implement them in a way where it's not so obvious even though you know it's there.

 

Saints Row is like Meet The Spartans. It tries to be funny with excessive juvenile jokes, but really isn't.

 

GTA= Humouress, without going too far.

 

Saints Row= Juvenile, and unfunny.

IMO askin "What could GTA learn from Saints Row?" is like askin "What could Beethoven learn from Falco?", the answer is nothin. SR just tries to amp up things from previous GTA's abd just makes it trashy, in fact THQ overall is just trashy. Just sayin.

SR series has a lot of humor and fun things to do unlike GTA series. The only things I don't like about it is the driving, shooting and the physics. It's very unrealistic.

As for GTAV I think 50/50 is ok. 50% for seriousness and 50% for humor and fun things to do.

Wash your mouth out with soap.

Of course Grand Theft Auto can learn from Saint's Row, the game may not be spectacular, but it contains some pretty interesting things that GTA can take a look at and implement. For example I really liked how money was actually usable with the player having the option to buy multiple properties, upgrade them, etc. I really liked a lot of missions in SR but the shooting was not very good.

 

Both games inspire each other and they become better because of that.

Since when has gta never had things to do and no humour? what are you on about??

 

I would love to know what gta you have been playing. Your not even saying 4, you said the whole series???

 

Chatterbox, VCPR, KCHAT, The sf police dep quotes??

 

What do you class as humour?

Lmao, the SFPD was hilarious. Compare them to the LSPD.

 

SFPD- "Wait, I think I can help you!" "Tell me why you're upset!"

LSPD- "Come back here you pussy!"

I like this, Something important that Rockstar should add In GTA V/NeXt.

its childs fun though. GTA has a story and some maturity to it. Like the character Dwayne. His story was deep. And if you didn't kill him and chilled with him he told you some f*cked up sh*t. GTA is more then a game it's story. Saint's Row is just chaos.

Ofcourse I know that. I hang out with dwayne and I killed Playboy X cause I hate him. But what I'm saying was the fun things u can do in SR series that u cannot do in GTA series.

GTAIV for has their own style and humour and I find it funny and entertaining. Especially the Radio Station and Peds Comments. The thing is GTA series is more on serious side and SR series is more on funny or comedic side. That's what I think the difference of both of this games. Butr when it comes of the quality of the games ofcourse I choose GTA. Cause it's way better than any other Free roam action crime driving game outder that will beat GTA series. GTA is the king of kings when it's comes to Free Roam game.

 

Or how about whenever you were involved in a bank heisit where you mowed down cops by the dozen taking multiple bullets to the face and torso and then escaping into the subway where after awhile they decided to stop looking for you...?

 

 

sh*t, man. I do that all the time.

Its say did saints row learn anything from true crime. Lets understand that saints row is childish and funny in its own way and people like it. And gta games have there own humour, childish bits and is even dark humoured in ways saints row could never be... So you can see how different and unique they are and each game has things the other can, could or could never pull of. So to them that love, like or enjoy saints row series good for you and those and me aswell enjoy the gta series great for us...

Read my post comparing Blazing Saddles to Meet The Spartans. That pretty much sums up GTA, and Saints Row in terms of the way each expresses their humour.

 

To me the GTA series (Every GTA Game ) has always been genuinely funny in some form, or another. It's really hard to nail specifics, but there has been many times over the years where I've laughed over the smallest things. Character lines, radio shows etc. The humour comes naturally.

 

Saints Row on the other hand is like watching alot of these new parody movies, and has too much toilet humour. It feels very forced, and feels like it's desperate to get a laugh out of people.

 

Any game that has streaking, and spraying sh*t over people just to get a laugh shows the developers aren't trying too hard. R*'s humour has always been great in every game they've ever made.

 

I know you have your opinion, but that's mine. I honestly don't see how anyone can find the humour in Saints Row more appealing, but each to their own.

What we can learn from Saints Row is that the developers actually keep their fan base interested by giving out information regarding the upcoming title.

Sad truth. We'd have some activity on these forums, that's for damn sure.
