7 Games to Play If You’re Not Buying Grand Theft Auto 5

CraveOnline writes: "Grand Theft Auto 5's release is right around the corner, and as such you should be anticipating a dry spell in terms of other video game releases as everyone returns to Los Santos (and hibernates from reality) for a few weeks. A lot of gamers are excited, but maybe you aren't. What about those of you who aren't interested in picking up the latest from Rockstar Games? Well, you're in-luck because there have been plenty of fantastic releases this year. Below are a few of the games that should tickle your fancy."

Saints Row IV is a good choice.

JonnyBigBoss3884d ago

IN MY OPINION, why would you get Saints Row IV if you aren't getting Grand Theft Auto 5? Sure, they have some differences but ultimately they're the same genre.

Wedge193884d ago

Highly disagree, SRIV is a whole different beast with the whole super hero stuff going on. It's more like Prototype than GTA.

negative3884d ago

Yea Saints Row IV is similar but very different. Loving it so far!

firelogic3884d ago

SRIV is completely different than GTAV will be. One is going for over the top craziness while the other is going for realism. As such, the gameplay experience is vastly different.

SRIV has to be one of my favourite games this gen. Sure it's not a looker, but it's extremely fun to play and that's what counts.

dogsmokespipe3884d ago

Everyone disagreed with you but you are totally right. If you don't like the gameplay in GTA, then why would you like it in Saints Row? The differences are superficial, they play almost exactly the same.

@JonnyBigBoss

Because its fun like grand theft auto use to be. Like GTA 3 ,vice city and san andreas untill it crawled up its own ass and backed down to parents groups. It decided to get all serious and took out all the fun of causing mayhem. Thats why saints row is successful thats why crackdown was also. They are what GTA was before they ruined it.

matrixman923884d ago

all of my irl friends are not getting it. I dont really understand myself. They played all the other ones, but for some reason this time its different. They ALL say it looks boring and trash...

meganick3884d ago

I'm not. The series doesn't appeal to me. I'm not saying it's bad though. I might go for Rayman Legends instead.

BattleTorn3884d ago

@ all above

Ya'll cray cray

Yui_Suzumiya3883d ago (Edited 3883d ago )

Me.. all GTA games bore me

Also, LOL @ all the disagrees for people not buying it.. it's just an honest opinion.. hell, I enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever and bought it day one.. doesn't mean I expected anyone else to nor would I disagree with their opinion of dislike for it.

My 7 Games to play instead of GTAV:

Total War Rome 2
Amnesia A Machine for Pigs
King of Fighters XIII Steam Edition
Arma 3 Gold Release
World of Warplanes
Outlast
Alien Rage

Even with the FEW glitches Rome 2 is AWESOME but will happily welcome a PATCH.

3-4-53884d ago

I'm buying GTA5.

If I wasn't, I've always wanted to play Mafia 2 and godfather 1&2.

Playing multiple types of these games all at once makes one always seem "less than" so I'll wait and just play GTA5.

Yui_Suzumiya3883d ago

Mafia II is really good. Godfather not as much.

Saints Row IV is very similar to the GTA series and is a great game. Vita owners should check out Killzone: Mercenary as it is one of the best handheld shooters to date.

MightyNo93884d ago

Mercanaries isn't that great. It gets it's hype because it had decent controls.

jony_dols3884d ago

'It gets it's hype because it had decent controls.'

Well considering that Sony Cambridge are the first dev to make a FPS on a handheld that controls like a home console, I think it's pretty praise-worthy. And it's graphics are slick.

ftwrthtx3884d ago

It gets hype because it looks great, plays great, and is worthy.

MightyNo93884d ago

I'm playing it now and it's crap. And if you want proof I have it I'd be happy to tell you my PSN name so you can see.

dcj05243884d ago

Hey Taro how about me and you a......account share eh? I can't take that Killzone off your hands if ya know what i meanhehehehehe. hit me up PSN:dcj0524

GryestOfBluSkies3884d ago

‘Stellar Blade, but good’ is here, and it came out seven months ago

Stellar Blade might be the hot game right now, but we already got a better version of it more than half a year ago.

Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews. No shade on Lies of P but just pointing that out.

But i don't even know why compare them? Because both are souls type games?

Then you can just reuse this article all the time and say Elden Ring is "whatever new souls game" but good for every new souls game.

Stellar blade hate articles must be rolling with clicks...

CrimsonWing6941m ago

I mean… it’s like saying we have a better NieR with Devil May Cry. Yea, there’s some similarities, but Lies is really hardcore in the sense of emulating a FromSoft game almost perfectly, where Stellar has some Souls-like elements, but I’d say it’s closer to Sekiro than say a Dark Souls game. This almost feels click-baitey

Psychonaut8536m ago

What if, and hear me out, they’re both really good? Mind blowing, I know.

Christopher29m ago

Listen here you, that's not how this is supposed to work. You choose a side and you defend it. None of this little "what if there's more than one good game out there" nonsense.

Crows9029m ago(Edited 27m ago)

Oh geez...this is why journos suck...they can't even see differences between games.

Stellar blade is nothing like lies of P. Didn't these guys give stellar a bad score? Geez they really hate it. Stop the hate! Lol
