This whole SR4 vs. GTA V thing is getting out of hand

am i the only one who says i liked sr3? o3o
i love sr2 true, but this whole thing reminds me of genwunners on the pokemon fanbase. they cant just play the game and have fun they have to bitch and moan about "the good old days" seriously. can i be honest here? yes. i love sr2. but lets not act like that doesnt have its flaws too (the character facial expressions are TERRIBLE. they dont look... natural.)sr3 was fucking brilliant in its own right. yes some of the new things i resent. but is it really that bad? play the games for what they are: fun. pure, unadulterated, fun. if you want realism then why are you on the computer to begin with?

Saint's row 3's original story was better than the one we got and they killed my favorite character in the entire series and they killed a character's personatlity that i love who am i talking about? gat and shaundi saint's row the third had a small developement team and by my opinion was terrible....But it's all about opinions

oh yah. story was the major problems i had with sr3. shaundi is not as fun and gat dies in the second mission.... yah.... but can we all just look past that for five fucking minutes? seriously.... i thought the gameplay was more refined than in 2......... idk... felt more fun to shoot someone in the third to me than it was in 2..... but yeah... 4 definitely looks miles ahead of 3.... given what idolninja says.... i personally... am excited for it. i was going to wait until reviews came out about it and what have you... but idolninja helped me decide to pre-order it,among other reasons. it looks like insane fun, and the end, isnt that what matters?

i am getting 4 also but no i don't agree given that it had good gun mods which sr3 didn't and sr2's was miles better.
 
Before I get into deeper, I generally consider games have three parts: fundamentals (gameplay, no bugs, controls), content (story, amount of things to do), and style (I think this self-explanatory). Fundamentals determine the minimum on how "good" a game could be (a game with great fundamentals but almost no content and no style will still generally be considered an average, but never a bad one). Content determs the maximum on how "good" a game could be (a game with a lot of great content but poor fundamentals and almost no style is generally a "flawed cult classic"). Style sort of a "dash of selt and pepper".

When it come to the gameplay fundamentals, SR3 was a tad noticeably better than SR2. However, when it comes to sheer content, SR2 was really better than SR3. I wasn't angry at SR3 like a lot of people, but SR3 did disappoint me, in terms of the amount of content it had. SR3 had great fundamentals and good style (though some dislike it, and it wasn't the way I would want it to be), but not so much on content. It had more content than SR1, but not a particularly beloved style like SR1 had. SR3 is still a better overall game, though.

When people complain that SR3 is too silly, it has more to do with the silly AND vapid storyline, not the activities or the open-world itself. The issues with the open-world have more to do with the feeling that it is feel likes non-living city. SR2 combined silly acitivities and silly and entertaining open world with a serious storyline. It needed to be silly in the right places (streaking NPC's and SEPTIC AVENGER), while being serious in terms of storyline (the rise of the Protagonist, the death of Julius, the takeover of Stilwater). SR2 also corrected much of the problems from SR1.

SR3 did not strike the right balance, while SR2 did strike the right balance.

Everyone has different opinions , i am a fan of both the games but i still prefer playing saints row 2 and the third to gta iv and for me neither games destroy each other , both are different games with different stories and different gameplay ... What matters is what what u think of a game after playing it , what others think dosent matter.....

Yet again, it's not a contest, so there's nothing to "destroy."
They are both totally different animals with two totally different outlooks on how to do open-world gaming.
There's room enough in the market for both the GTA franchise and the Saints Row franchise.

It´s Like "The New Call Of Duty will Beat The New Mario Bros For nintendo wii" Or A CAR WILL BEAT A ROCK....
 
I believe Volition turn it to over the top silliness is to avoid people keep comparing it with GTA or calling it a GTA clone. Saints Row started out as a GTA clone and now it is more like a class of its own, mainly you cant get funny weapons and ridiculous jokes in GTA.
