Yes we've all heard that story before Then you swore you weren't going to buy V and complained about IV to anyone who would listen and then you saw the first two V trailers...

And here you are, on the forum for V.

You're right in saying you can't compare them as they are, in essence, two completely different games.

Actually, in essence, they're not. FIFA and GTA are completely different games. That's why people don't compare FIFA, and people do compare GTA and Saints Row.
They're not as similar as something like Fallout 3 and Fallout NV, or Halo and Killzone, but they're in the same genre and not completely different.

I see what you're getting at, they're taking different approaches at the same basic concept. But not completely different games.

Yeah SR is kids stuff

i hope we get the "Fun" stuff in V, it lacked in 4 to the point that i just went over to saints row after i got to the end of gta 4 in about a week,and there was nothing left to do

I hear you! As far as I'm concerned, Saint's Row, specifically SR: The Third, is the new GTA. I know GTA IV was a popular game, but I found it absolutely boring and lackluster in terms of raw gameplay. For my taste, GTA IV is what happens when a game takes itself too seriously. Everyone who is looking for an "excuse" because they didn't like IV keeps talking about how, in essence, "Rocktar couldn't make GTA IV fun because it was the first game on the new platform!" but I don't buy it.

I don't think that IV was half-a-loaf and Rockstar was limited by a new engine on a new set of consoles. I believe that even though I absolutely HATED IV that Rockstar made the game precisely the way that they wanted to make it. For whatever reason, Houser and company equated "realism" with fun in IV. I personally think that if Rockstar had wanted to take the San Andreas concept to the next level and do so on the brand new game engine with all the awesome graphics that GTA IV had for its time, they could have easily done it. But Houser said many times that in his mind gamers wanted a game that plays like a movie, and they wanted "consequences" for the gamer's actions as well as gameplay that was "believable" for the character, which translates to "realism."

I roll my eyes a little whenever I hear or read people talking about how GTA IV was "no fun" (to some of us, anyway) because Rockstar couldn't do all the cool stuff with a new engine, and I think that's laughable. I believe Rockstar is capable of making GTA pretty much whatever the hell they envision it to be regardless of how new the game engine is.

I will say that I am pretty impressed so far with what I have seen, read, and watched about V.

I'm fine with the the game being released in spring. I have other games to play until then and it gives more time to save up for pre-ordering the game.

So this is another c*nting news thread that will send me a c*nting message every time some c*nt posts a message ?

Great... just f*cking great.

Are there any mods out there who can deactivate this for me? Something is wrong with my broswer and it wont let me do it myself.

Can anyone here help at all? Oh and maybe also punch whoever decided this was a useful idea? Thanks.
