Poll: GTA IV or Saint's Row 2?

[Tourette]

Saint's Row 2 is so much more fun to play than GTA4 in every aspect.

 

[the protaginist]

Honestly it's 50/50 for me. I like Saints Row's gameplay, characters, and plot(unless we're talking about Lost and Damned) more then GTA's, Yet aside from Hitman, I really don't like the Mini-games of SR2, and for sheer dicking around potential I prefer GTA.

saints row 2 would get my vote if they hadn't just rushed a port for a pc, it's unplayable on my rig, and my rig easily copes with gta4

Saint's Row 2, no contest.

I preferred it when Rockstar made sillier sandbox games.

My exact thoughts. When I played GTAIV I remember thinking "this used to be fun, and with decent music".
Then I tried Saints Row 2 and thought "Aaaaaaaaah, so THIS is where the fun went".

I loved them both but I prefer GTA 4. Don't get me wrong, I love the unrealism of Saints Row 2 but I just had more fun playing GTA 4.

 

[Squilookle]

I've never owned either but played GTA IV to death, staying up all night solo playing online once even, and playing singleplayer for hours upon hours at a friends place and even going so far to edit together a clip and post it on youtube. I've only played Saint's Row 2 for maybe 5 minutes at a party. Which is the better game?

Saints Row 2. By leaps and bounds.

For gameplay and fun, Saints Row 2, hands down. But Liberty City was gorgeous and a lot more immersive than the Saint's Row city (whose name escapes me, which is kinda telling, no?).

So to actually play the game, Saints Row 2. To dick around in a pretty environment? GTAIV

 

[StriderShinryu]

Saint's Row 2. It's not even a close race.

And now that Mafia 2 is out, there really no reason for anyone to play GTA4 at all. If you're looking for a character and story based "open world" crime game then go play Mafia 2. If you want a fun based open world crime game then go play Saint's Row 2.

Saints row 2 by far. It managed to make me laugh throughout the whole campaign

MC: Who's this guy?
Shaundi: My Ex. He's willing to help us.
MC: I thought i killed your Ex?
Shaundi: he's my other ex.

Saints Row 2. Saints Row 2 so so so so much. It was like the developers understood their audience they realised people actually wanted something fun to play. Unlike the GTA 4 lads that thought driving your FUCKING cousin to play FUCKING darts every five minutes was a clever game play mechanic. I'm still thoroughly annoyed at having spent money on that staggering hunk of boring.

Also. Pimpcane Shotgun.

Who the hell clicked GTA4?! SR2 by fair is the better game.

Also, SR2 hosts some of the greatest character personalitys ever.

Benjamin King: She tells everything to her fashion consultant, he shouldn't be too hard to break.
Johnny Gat: Who is this guy?
Benjamin King: Some Eurotrash ************ named Stefan.
Johnny Gat: I hate him already.

That was actually from Saints Row, not Saints Row 2.

But yeah, SR2 > GTA IV. GTA IV is alright for what it was trying to be, but SR2 is just way more fun. I think the trailer speaks for itself:

Spoiler: Video inside!

I've played and enjoyed both of them, but I found myself playing more of GTA IV.

The driving in GTA IV really annoyed me, but I loved that they used the Euphoria engine.
Pushing someone down some stairs will always make me laugh.

 

[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

 

[Eggsnham]

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.

 

[Fusionxl]

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.

 

[Jark212]

Saints Row 2 is just goofy insane fun...

 

[Viking Incognito]

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.
