Poll: Saints Row 4 or GTA V?

[Vanbael]

As much as GTA V looks appealing to me, I'm going with SR-IV because its fun...it is seriously is more fun. I love the freedom you get to roam and do whatever you think should be done. The characters grow on you more because of the history you've had with them. Now I give GTA the honorable mention because it is impressive, but the writing feels slightly childish. Yes a couple characters stand out but in the end you're just another crim who gets dropped in the next game. Plus, I honestly would like to see some continuity between games. Now look back at SR-IV, the writing actually gets creative, it brings back the past (hell, it even broke the 4th wall bringing the co-op element in), it tickles my nerd bones more and it plays to the idea of open world story driven fun!

I'm sorry GTA but I actually crack a smile when I play Saints Row more. You are a beautiful game, but I'll go for the one with the aliens.

SR4 felt like DLC.

Not exactly surprising, considering its origins and the company making it.

It's sad. Saints Row did a lot to try and get out of GTA's shadow, yet here it is being compared to GTA despite being worlds apart.

Both are great games, but for vastly different reasons.

SRIV is sexier, funnier, and looks okay. The similar engine means importing old characters, and a familiarity.
Super powers, gender select, the Penetrator, the walk down memory lane, the penetrator, the celebrities, the jokes, the missions (especially the loyalty ones), did I mention the Penetrator?
It's probably the most fun super hero game ever. Not perfect, but more fun than I had in a while.

GTAV? As much as I didn't think I would, or could, I found myself relating some to the three characters and/or enjoying them some.
Franklin harkens back to my days working on a car lot. I didin't repo, or anything, but still, I worked on a car lot dreaming of bigger'n better.

Michael, I can relate to. I wanna "retire." Bit simple, there. I like interesting times, but I wanna get away from things. He's an ok guy. He has a soul, a conscience. He does bad things, but he isn't a murdering psychopath. He's spared more people than I think people give him credit for.

Trevor, well, He gets picked on for being Canadian, though I can't see how peopel tell. I can relate to not being obviously american looking more asian than white, and living in the south. I'm not that bold, or brash, but he sure is fun to watch.

But I think I'll enjoy my GTAO character more. OCT 2nd can't get here soon enough. Single Player's basically training.

GTAV is okay. Lil' punishing, especially with how they replicate the joys of trying to corner in american cars.

I can't be sure but I'm pretty sure they'll have that same flaw a lot of sandbox games have. Story's over, I have everything I can get, what now?
I've beaten SRIV, and ran into that. I've beaten a lot of sandbox games, and ran into that.

How did SR become what it is? It went from a slightly silly open world action game, now it is fucking retarded. GTA is pretty much what it was before.
