New Saints Row 2 Feature

In the wake of GTA IV Gameplayer asks the question whether there is room for both it an Saints Row 2 by detailing some of the features that will diffentiate the two in this big article.

"With the release of Grand Theft Auto IV imminent, it's clear that the paths taken by the two leading urban crime simulators are drifting farther and farther apart. GTA is going down a road of immersion through quasi-realism, whereas Saints Row is following the signs to video game extravagance – pure, unadulterated silliness. "

I'm currently playing GTA4 and to be honest I have no clue why it scored a 10. This game is no where near a ten by a long shot.The graphics are sub-par (look low-res with some mudd on the lens for good measure). The cars handle worst than previous GTA games, the guy can't fist fight for sh!t! I joined the hype train then I crashed and burned. Saints row was a great game hopefully they'll keep the same formula (with a few improvements, of course).

nutjuice6575d ago

I have to agree with you on this one. It's actually making me tired of the sandbox genre.

I'd give it a solid 8.5

wibble6575d ago

I agree. I'm not happy with GTA at all. The pixelation is pretty horrific for a next gen game. I can't help but feel like I'm playing it on a PS2. Then the overall awful blurring effect makes it look like my TV needs a real good cleaning.

I've not seen the XBox version. But from what I hear it's also unusually pixelated considering it's running in 720p and 2xAA.

I'm sure the game play will be quite good when I get into it.

But keep in mind that I'm a PC user that's used to running in 1920x1080p. I guess I'm spoiled. :)

Silverwolf6575d ago

I actually hate that damn muddy look they gave it. It does look like a PS2 game. I don't know what some people are smoking but this is nothing like it's been hype to be. Best liberty city was GTA3 hands down.

Saints Row 2's Juiced Patch makes the PC port so much better it's criminal

Drive it like you stole it.

Broken Games That Never Got Fixed

While a lot (like way too many) games launch in sorry states these days, a lot of them do eventually get polished up over time fixes. The same can’t be said for these properly broken games.

Worst for me is wipeout 2048.
I got gold in every single player race, made it extremely far into the great online shop platinum was a finger away.. then lost all my online progression. Many players experienced the same and hadn’t been fixed since

joab777265d ago

Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky are obviously the 2
best comeback stories. Cyberpunk is literally one of the best RPGs ever made now.

Christopher264d ago

I wouldn't call NMS broken at release, just under-delivered.

Michiel1989265d ago

junctioning is only broken now because it's been datamined which monster which gives which card and which card gives which items and every single spell to junction with the highest points for each stat. For it's time when that info wasn't readily available it was good, not without it's flaws, but not broken,

-Foxtrot265d ago

Exactly. I never got this because what made it broken was the knowledge of what to exploit.

Playing the game for the first time back then you never had any knowledge to make it so easy.

One minute the Junction system is complicated, the next it's super easy / broken. What is it?

gold_drake265d ago

i mean, ff8 is not "broken" per se, its just that the junction system is too good and easily exploited even an hour into the game. haha

Ashunderfire86264d ago

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of them. I can’t get in the Cantina bar later on in the game. The door and other doors throughout the environment is locked off. It is a shame, because I wanted to complete the game, but I can’t until they fix it.

You know usually when someone says "you may have missed" it's games that were lesser known, hidden gems, underrated games. These are all super high profile games that sold extremely well.

FPS_D3TH1225d ago (Edited 1225d ago )

You know the 2000s is 20 years ago too? Maybe, just maybe this wasn’t an article targeted to 30+ gamers? Still says at the very beginning of the title “THE BEST GAMES you may have missed”. Regardless of how well they sold there’s tons of gamers who haven’t touched these older well known games lol.

Welshy1225d ago (Edited 1225d ago )

It's games you "may have missed", insinuating you were around and gaming in the 2000's and were there to miss them. If it was aimed at everyone else then they missed literally everything, not just the top games.

The original commenter is right, this is a badly written article at best pointless at worst.

Crows901225d ago

Besides only being able to miss it if you were around during that time..if your point stands then this is a horrible list. Tons of better games people may have missed

XxINFERNUSxX1225d ago

I would like the original max payne remade in a new engine with ray tracing. 😊

FPS_D3TH1225d ago

Remedy games already working on that and I’m so stoked for it

XxINFERNUSxX1225d ago

Oh yeah thanks for reminding me I totally forgot they were doing it. Also what the hell happened to Kingpin: Reloaded? On Steam coming soon and nohting from the dev.

MadLad1225d ago

Yeah, I was just going to say. It's interesting seeing them back behind the series. Max Payne 3 was amazing, but then Rockstar just sat on the IP.
Well, they sit on virtually anything that isn't GTA and Red Dead now.

porkChop1225d ago

What is this list? These are all hugely popular games. I was expecting games like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, Advent Rising, Arx Fatalis, etc.

FPS_D3TH1225d ago

the title didn’t say lesser known titles from the 2000s. This is 20 years ago now lol. Big assumption this list was made for older gamers.

Dirty_Lemons1224d ago

That makes me feel so old.

Inverno1225d ago

I've only played 3 on that list. Part of me feels bad about how little I used all the consoles I've owned as a kid. One bright side is, there's over 30 years of games to experience for the first time.
