I choose option 3. How many times have I voted on a Poll about GTA vs Saints Row? 5 or 6 times. However, in the end Saints Row will always win.

Saints Row, the series to me is actually fun and not in an entirely homicidal way. Don't get me wrong the GTA series is great but the fun in my opinion has been watered down a little bit like the kool-aid. When I sit down for a sandbox game generally I don't sit around for the story, I like blowing things up and getting run over by vehicles... Also the homicidal fury thats borderline npc genocide(sticking a satchel charge to someone and blowing them up is so wrong but it feels so right).

Gritty "realism", taking a look at the GTA series here it's a bit more serious than Saints Row. More true with GTAIV and III. Niko and more recently the bikers I have named Willy(wet willy for the bearded one) have more of a serious tone than the nameless anon you call your own, Saints Row character is more of a smartypants and sarcastic ninnymuggins(yes ninnymuggins) than someone with a "I've sold people into slavery and not the funny kind like at my office the dark kind" attitude.

To me Saints Row does a lot right, it throws you into a world you can literally take over like the psycopathic dictator from prisonland you are. Giving you the tools to sow destruction and mayhem wherever you wish to roam or just flinging yourself into a vehicle for money. Saints Row has a variety of activities to do and in my opinion aren't half bad. GTA has missions, your imagination, cops, dating now for some unknown reason, side missions, and something I call Habberdashing(mostly cause it sounds funny).

They're both really good games but Saints Row covers more ground in what a sandbox should be.. In that you can have mindless fun.
