Poll: GTA IV or Saint's Row 2?

[Ren3004]

Even though though I liked the tiny bit of Episodes from Liberty City I played, and look forward to finishing it, Saint's Row 2 is definitely my favourite. At least in the Lost and Damned, the only things that kept me engaged were the story missions and the races.

I'll trade watching TV or going to the Internet in a game for the ability to make a living out of jumping in front of cars.

Better radio: GTA IV

I'd have to disagree, I absolutely love the radio on Saint's Row 2. The stations are actually diverse, there's literally something for everyone. Don't like hip hip? No problem, have some Lamb of God to listen to. Don't like this modern stuff? Here's a station dedicated to 80s music

I feel that the radio stations on GTA games are far too limited, whereas Saint's Row 2 has a very wide range of music on offer

There is more variety in SR2, but I was referring to the commercials, mostly.

Ah, well fair point then, I'll concede that the commercials are much better in GTA games

And anyone else who saw this would agree, I hope.

Of course you can't listen to it for very long before somebody wants to go bowling

Saints Row 2's over the top ridiculous gameplay beats GTA IV's by miles.

That's not to say that GTA IV is bad, just that it's too realistic to stand up to Saints Row 2.

I'm going to have to say GTA IV. Saints Row 2 was alright, but it seemed a little unpolished.

 

[mjc0961]

i agree...did they NOT FUCKING REALISE SAINTS 2 IS OLDER?????

Uhm...

GTA IV came out in April 2008.
Saints Row 2 came out in October 2008.

Sorry man, GTA IV did get out first.

Saints Row 2 is just goofy insane fun...

SAINT'S ROW 2

 

[Alon Shechter]

Saints Row 2. it rocks.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go play some bowling with my cousin.

Saint's Row 2 for everything except the radio stations and commercials. GTA's radio stations are absolutely laugh-out-loud hilarious and I've spent a lot of in-car time listening to whole programs, rather than running people over and performing drive-bys. But for everything else, it's Saints Row 2.

Both are shit on the PC really want to play them got powerful rig but nothing slow crashy heaven both of them

 

[Aisaku]

Saints Row 2 100% because of the character customization options and that it doesn't take itself too seriously. Why aren't there more games like this?

 

[fullbleed]

I preffer GTA4, everyone seems to say that Saints Row is the better game but GTA is a far more polished game I think. Gun play undoubtedly better in GTA4, it's the better looking game and the story and characters are all far better in GTA, I didn't care about anyone in saints row.

Plus I don't find that kind of fucking around fun in sand box games like saints row, I spend all my time doing missions and plot. An area where GTA is superior.

 

[Professor Putricide]

Saints Row 2. My biggest reason for choosing it is that Saints Row actually features color.

However, you could also pick up Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. That's actually better then Saints Row 2 in my opinion.

Cannot relate to Niko.
Can relate to fun. =D

Having been a huge fan of open-world crime sims since GTA III, I purchased both games as soon as they became available.

I quit playing GTA IV as soon as I'd completed the main story, which took me a month or so. I'm STILL playing Saints Row 2. Realism be damned, RockStar - pure, mindless FUN is the way to go!

 

[SoranMBane]

I'm kind of on the fence with these two, actually. Saints Row 2 has better gameplay and more variety, but GTA IV has a better story with more interesting characters. It's like they cancel each other out.

EDIT: Wait a second; a vs. thread and no one's complaining? What the hell is going on? I'm not complaining myself, I just find this very odd...

 

[Snotnarok]

GTA IV had a lot of things going for it but the game simply tried to hard to be a life simulator and hanging out with all my gangster friends and my fucking cousin Roland took away from it. Fleeing from the cops with 4 stars and my car is on fire *RING RING* COZEN LETS GOH BOLINK!! OR SEE SUM GREAT BEEEG AMERIKAN TEETAYS!" No I don't t-*BANG dead -1 friendship*

 

[Fragged_Templar]

Saint's Row 2 all the way

until Saint's Row 3 comes out of course

 

[jpoon]

I would definitely pick GTAIV, I found saints row boring as hell personally and I really hate the whole gangsta theme. SR2 is doing nothing but gathering dust on my game rack as it has done since I first bought it basically.
