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.

JonnyBigBoss3885d 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.

Wedge193885d ago

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

negative3885d ago

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

firelogic3885d 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.

dogsmokespipe3885d 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.

matrixman923885d 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...

meganick3885d 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.

BattleTorn3885d ago

@ all above

Ya'll cray cray

Yui_Suzumiya3885d ago (Edited 3885d 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.

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_Suzumiya3885d 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.

MightyNo93885d ago

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

jony_dols3885d 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.

ftwrthtx3885d ago

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

MightyNo93885d 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.

dcj05243885d 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

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia2m ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
