I have to get this out of the way.

seeing as the release dates for GTAV and SR4 are one month apart I need to do a comparsion to tell you, the games are DIFFERENT

GTA- once a briliant work of open world shooters (especially if I could fly a friggin' jetpack!) started to lose its charm on the creation of IV. I'm a casual gamer, I play games for fun and fun only, but I got bored of IV once the story was finished, it was too realistic for my liking. a proper New York City what I like to call criminal simulator

Saints Row-once a serious open world shooter, it soon developed the idea of going batshit crazy, with aliens, large intimate object weapons, a futuristic setting, zombies and whatnot. I find this more fun than IV because possibilities are endless and the stupidity is eye catching.

am I against what Rockstar is doing to GTA- NO

what I mean to say is that people are going to straight away assume that "theres a small gap between GTA and SR, but they're the same game" NO, Saints Row and GTA are two different games now, one's serious and sophisticated. the other is zany and insane. a theory I like to call the 'Pinkie and the Brain' theory with GTA as the Brain and Saints Row as Pinkie

before posting comments, yes I will get both games upon release and see if anything has changed, until then, we wait
