Grand Theft Auto V vs. Saints Row IV: which is better?

OXM - "With Saints Row 4, the series that began as a shameless GTA knockoff set out in a new direction, but it's still impossible to overlook the obvious, lingering similarities between it & Grand Theft Auto 5. Ultimately, one is going to do it better than the other, but which? Now that we've invested serious time in both, let's take an objective look at their strengths and weaknesses and declare a victor."

GTA when it comes to quality. Though that's not to say SR isn't fun. They're both great games, and fans of open world games should definitely look into at least trying both of them out.

Crazay3862d ago (Edited 3862d ago )

They're really not comparing Apples to apples. GTA is rooted in a slightly more realistic world with a more realistic crime caper story. SR is the comedic tongue in cheek cousin.

Kinda like Scary movie to Scream.

If comparing anything I would say compare GTA to Sleeping Dogs.

RXL3862d ago

Your Scary Movie/Scream Simile was on point lol

best way iv seen it compared/explained

cleft53862d ago (Edited 3862d ago )

I own both and enjoy both equally. GTA5 does a lot of amazing stuff and so does SR4. GTA5 is impressive as all, the quality of the game definitely shows after the long years of development. Meanwhile, SR4 is just pure fun and great comedy/parody of other games, movies, and pop culture in general. It is really impressive what Volition did with only a year and THQ going down around them.

I am glad I brought SR4 and GTA5.

Every game or series like BF, COD, EA Sports games etc should be worked on and released every two years instead of every year.

BuLLDoG9093862d ago

One is genre defining, the other a yearly installment of ideas cherry picked from other games.

Saint row has created nothing new in the city sanbox space. Instead it looks at the best aspects of other games in the same genre, and takes there ideas, while never adding anything substantially original themselfs.

Murad3861d ago

You know what? I like the fact that you're such an open gamer like myself, so plus bubble to you my good gaming sir. Personally I haven't played either one yet due to school and due to the addiction of good games, but I'm definitely going to hit them both up in the future.

Neither is better than the other. I like both games for completely different reasons. I see this debate a lot, but I don't see why one has to be considered better.

LOGICWINS3862d ago

Because thats the Internet. A never ending pissing contest where one opinion must prevail among others and gray areas don't exist.

ape0073862d ago (Edited 3862d ago )

yes there are gray areas but this is a no brainer, gta is definitely the better

wishingW3L3862d ago

The 200 million dollars game with monstrous production values and diversity wins by default. There is no competition.

ape0073862d ago (Edited 3862d ago )

SR is good but GTA V is obviously better

i wish in nextgen volition goes back to SR 1 and SR 2 style

KonsoruMasuta3862d ago

I wish they would do that. The SR games actually were good at one point.

Abdou0233862d ago

I know a lot of people will hate me for this but SR3-4 were made with drunk idiots in mind. If the game started taking itself seriously and actually start to create new elements of gameplay maybe they will reach broader audience and the comparison would be legit.

Etseix3862d ago

yeah but if they started taking the game *serious*
that would mean they'll go GTA style, and im sure quality wise GTA would totally destroy it.

3-4 are pure fun, all the jokes, comedy, etc. You dont see that level of humor on GTA, thats why i have more fun with SR, im not bashing GTA, its a great game, but i would care less about GTA stories, meanwhile on the other hand, if you try to take SR seriously- you will be dissapointed. :)

Pintheshadows3862d ago

I enjoyed SR4 alot more than I expected, but these days, the two series are nothing alike beyond being open world, and if you want to compare them on that front, well, there is only one winner.

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing6914h ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos12h ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Demetrius1h ago

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy8511h ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius1h ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
