Why Saints Row and Grand Theft Auto Shouldn’t be Compared

It has been a common trend among gamers to compare two games of specific genres. When players compare these games they usually take a side and fight till the death defending their favored title. The games sometimes can even take emotional tolls on their fans because they fight so hard to defend them against
what is presumed to be their competitor. Two of the most common games thrown into the everlasting argument are Saints Row and Grand Theft Auto...

On a personal note im more of a saints row person... not saying GTA sucks just saying saints row is THE BEST.

metsgaming5247d ago (Edited 5247d ago )

Loved GTA until 4. I went and got Saints Row 2 after the massive appointment that was gta4 and it was so much better. I wont be buying GTA5 anywhere near release until im sure they fixed it and returned to its roots. If it looks to be anything like 4 i wont buy it at all.

TheSuperior 5247d ago

My favorite of the saints row series was by far saints row 2, im afriad they are loosing a bit of their cool with SR3. as for GTA i was a die hard fan until 4 now im so ify on 5.

just_looken5247d ago (Edited 5247d ago )

this is funny because the majority of things in the sr series are copy/paste from gta past hell sr2 story is the same as gtasa just altered and told differently. But people will still believe sr1 was the first sanbox game and the internet was created in 2005.

Pikajew5247d ago

I also like Saints Row more. I still have to play SR2.

NYC_Gamer5247d ago

i agree,these franchises shouldn't be compared because both offer different type of experiences.grand theft auto is my type of sandbox game though.

TheSuperior 5247d ago

YOu get to many people comparing games now adays that are so different. I dont see what the problem is with liking both games :)

creeping judas5247d ago

I enjoy both of them for different reasons.

Kalowest5247d ago

GTA: You beat ppl with bats
SR: You can beat ppl with huge dildos

GTA: Is a serious game
SR: Is one hilarious parody

The list goes on, on how different the games are.
The only similarity is the Open-World game play(the main one i can think of).

I would be interested in a Saints Row 2 Remake.

Alos8897d ago

I would agree... if the old Volition was still around to do it.

I just started this game last night, just the player creation had me upset. You choose male but they stand like a female. Eyebrows are all effeminate, face, and verything seems to be modeled after a female with a thin male overlay.

I only played the opening and didn’t even complete that before I turned the game off. I will likely go back and try it again, but a very weird first impression.

Huey_My_D_Long97d ago

You sound super weak to be upset by a character creator ngl

ChunkyMonk97d ago

welcome to your average n4g daily user lol

chicken_in_the_corn98d ago

I'm not surprised after the backlash and hatred the last one got.

1nsomniac98d ago

The franchise has been complete utter garbage for almost 20 years. The first one was the only decent game of the lot of them.

Huey_My_D_Long97d ago

OMG Thank you! Never understood how people raved about Saints Row like it was GOATED.
Honestly Janky Generic feeling titles with Humor that tried to way too hard. People criticize Borderlands for its humor, but holy hell, still leagues better than any SR.

isarai_lee98d ago

Kinda dumb they asked for his pitch then ghosted him, the concept sounded dope

Saints Row director is pitching a prequel that gets 'back to the roots of what made SR entertaining'

Somehow, Saints Row returned. Well, kind of. In a giddy post on the Saints Row subreddit, a lead on the original game in the Saints Row series announced that someone, somewhere might be interested in firing up Volition's (RIP) open-world crime games once more.

RaidenBlack209d ago

OR ...
remake the first one but 1:1, very minimal changes ~ QoL changes that are necessary or beneficial

PhillyDonJawn209d ago

If we wanted the same game we'd go play it.

jambola210d ago

Please not made in fortnite graphics by whiny petty developers who argue on twitter this time

Goodguy01210d ago

It always boggles my mind how developers like these get their hands on well known IPs and completely butcher it into a terrible mess.

YodaCracker209d ago

Twitter? I think you mean Bluesky.

Lexreborn2210d ago

My problem is I’ve played all of them but probably collectively an hour a piece for each. Never really got into them and always got them on discount. I wonder if that’s just the general consensus on this game. Because doesn’t feel like any of them are really worth it

JEECE210d ago

To me Saints Row is one of those series that got a foothold in people's minds because the first game was in the right place at the right time (I'd put Dead Rising in the same category). In 2006 when the original came out, people were desperate for new games to play on the 360, and people were not nearly as burnt out on open world games as they are now. So the first one filled a void and served as a showcase for a new console that people were very excited about at the time.

Lexreborn2210d ago

I think the funniest thing to me was the Pecker sword in 3 but overall 3 was a pretty terrible game. I tell myself I want to go back and retry the remake of each version and I just don't feel like taking it to 1080p is going to change a pretty mediocre game at it's core

ZycoFox210d ago

Get rid of the regenerating health, or only have a certain food type that regenerates health a bit. Regenerating health + food seems a bit much but just IMO.. I always found that a bit stupid.

1nsomniac210d ago

The first Saints Row was the only good game of the series.

Highly underrated GTA 5 rival is cheaper than a McDonald’s meal on Steam

The wait for GTA 6 is painful, but for less than $6 you can pass the time with the overhated Saints Row reboot on your Steam Deck right now.

This was free on something at some point, so I decided to check it out. It's definitely properly rated.

CDbiggen446d ago

Here I thought I'd never have to be reminded of that slop again
