Why Saints Row Is Not Grand Theft Auto

Why does everyone claim that Saints Row is just a Grand Theft Auto ripoff? We take a closer look at these two series and determine what it is that gives each one its unique identity.

Cause saints sucks1
I had a stupid idea to buy saints 2 GOD AWFUL game. I played ballad of gay Tony GREAT GAME! All of gta 4 was badass screw complainers that game is the shit

Ardorme4634d ago

Why is Saints Row 2 a "God awful game"? Try providing some context to why you hold such an opinion instead of sounding like a fool.

For example, I really liked those really badass moments in GTA4 where all your friends would call you up to go play terrible minigames. So badass.

Whereas in Saints Row 2 I thought it was absolutely terrible that such activities weren't included. I mean, why would I want to participate in demolition derbies and commit insurance fraud when I could go bowling or play air hockey in GTA4?

That part is so true :P

i love all the things you can do in saints row. i just never been a fan of this style of tps gameplay. the reason i love games like uncharted, gta and gears is because how similar the controls are to a fps.

MassOnesumis4634d ago

I did enjoy Saints row 1+2's game mechanics much more than I did GTA 4 or San andreas but narrative in the GTA games have always been top tier.

Saints Row - Where it All Began

Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.

Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.

Or an angry purple streak in their hair to demonstrate they're a rebel.

And they claimed this place was one of the outhouses for Gamers™ and gamerGate Incels. Pfft! But look at bangerBro99's amazing display of Homo-eroticism. How far we've come.

So proud of you, bud. Now you go grab them balls and have all the fun. 👍

Outstanding!

They should remaster the first 2.

1nsomniac43d ago

I think the first one was the best in the series by a long, long way!

First 3 games were great. Then 4, Gat out of Hell and the Reboot were flimsy in comparison. Aliens, demons and a weak reboot in terms of intensity made the games forgettable.

Profchaos42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

But even 3 ventured into rediculas territory with zombies and stag. Zombies in 3 to me was just a hey you know what's popular zombies let's do that

TheColbertinator42d ago

The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.

There wont be enough demand until the tech gets better and more affordable.

The article is more concerned with where the announced games are. Not about VR demand.

Even with my thoughts on Facebook, they did supposedly sell over 20 million headsets. Not that I think that many are still using their Quest headsets. But even if it's only 10 million users and 5 million are interested and able to play GTA SA, that's still a lot of consumers and a lot of sales.

It just comes down to why these developers are taking so long. Is something like GTA canceled? Is it being held back for a future event? It's not like there's competition in the stand alone space. And now that I have a Quest 3 myself, I'm wondering as well what's the hold up.

Profchaos48d ago

For GTA SA
Meta made a lot of budget cuts and cancelled a fair few exclusive game contracts we don't know if this was cancelled but it's possible and this was announced prior to the release of GTA definitive edition which was slammed and eventually moved to be supported in house by Rockstar.

Since then we have just gotten the mobile versions a d they are actually the best way to play the definitive edition unfortunately the consoles never got a retrospective patch to implement the improvements they made in the mobile games.

But for VR we know a VR mode was found in the definitive editions game files thanks to data miners so seeming it was meant to be using the definitive edition as a base given its ue4 that makes sense. And the mode is there right now (some Polish may be required still) I would assume this is ready to go but meta got cold feet and cancelled it given the games reputation.

I do hope Rockstar forge ahead and still just launch it anyway on psvr2 as it's a game I've loved since day 1 on PS2 I'll even tolerate the de version to get it in VR
