You didn't just say that. Steelport may have better graphics but it's a goddamm bland city, with no enterable interiors. Stilwater is much more livid and feels much more alive, and has so many places to explore.
Sorry, last I checked this was Saints Row, not Tomb Raider. If I wanted exploration I'd play that.
I'm talking about the SR2 Stilwater of course. Ask any fan of the Saints Row series which is the better City and they'll tell you. That's why Saints Row 2 is still the BEST in the series.
And I should give a damn what they think because...? Let me remind you that most of those people also consider SR IV a bad game because it has aliens and super powers.
Here are the facts:
-SR2 runs like crap on most PC's, and I doubt there's a PC that can run it perfectly.
-SR TT and SR IV on the other hand run very well on most PC's.
-Stilwater has many enterable buildings, but most of them are enterable just for the sake of it. There's nothing to do in them.
-SR TT saves valuable drive space by not including pointless interiors.
-Stilwater looks like one giant amusement park.
-Steelport looks like a true American city.
Only things I miss from Stilwater, though not THAT much, are the El-train and the planes taking off and landing at the airport. That's it.
By what accounts is SR2 the best in the series? It features the most content but it's also one of the buggiest and most poorly optimized games ever. If you're a quantity over quality kind of person then sure, SR2 is the best, but I'm not one of those people. SR TT and SR IV don't feature even 1/3 of SR2's content but they fixed almost every problem SR2 had.
You have your opinion and I have mine, let's leave it at that.
