I...I...liked it.

 

I think with a game with such hype, it's hard to please everyone. I'm sorry, i wouldnt compare saint row with GTA yet, looking fun is hardly an excuse to bash the merit of a great game.

I expect Saint Row to be what Blitz was to Madden, FUN WITH NO SUBSTANCE  which equals to rental to me.

 

As opposed to lots of substance but no fun?  Come on, what made GTA fun is that they didn't over-develop the plot and instead emphasized the freedom and gameplay diversity.  GTAIV is not that game. It's not GTA.  It has no right to call itself GTA.

why not, it was an great experience and the begining was slow, but once the game got rolling, its just as good as any GTA game. The problem is, we expected too much with so many reviewers giving it a 10.

I hear people talking about san andreas, yet i heard all kind of complaints when that was released as well. btw, it was just an ugly looking game on the consoles.

Unless there's some magical mystery achievement that unlocks the enormous list of missing features I posted up there, there's no way it's any better later in the game than it was in the 10 hours I've played of it.  People complained about San Andreas's lack of humor, but they never complained about a lack of content.  Lack of content in GTA is a ridiculous problem. 

This game is a mockery of the franchise. It's not a bad game for what it is, but it's a very bad GTA game.  What it is is a practically linear third person shooter.  You ever played Metroid Prime Hunters?  It was a good first person shooter, but a horrible Metroid game.  This is the Metroid Prime Hunters of GTA, and yeah, I'm pissed about it.
