If GTAIV would have been better if Americans made it, why is it that Saint's Row is so shit?
Seriously, I'm not suggesting that Americans couldn't make a game as good as GTA4, just that they haven't. Ever.
In fairness, there is an element of truth to what the guy is saying; American satire does tend to be a bit weak-kneed compared to British, and your comedy is often dumbed down to appeal to the lowest common denominator (compare versions of The Office). That doesn't change the fact that the cleverest and funniest TV show of all time is The Simpsons. I'm pretty sure there is no American equivalent to Chris Morris, though, so it's all just swings and roundabouts.

Saint's Row is a different type of game (although still sandbox) and certainly did not have the budget that GTAIV had. Honestly, GTA IV is GTA III but bigger with minior improvements in gameplay here/there so I do not know why anybody couldn't improve on the foundation. The problem with these arguments are that they are all preference based. Believe it or not, some people may not feel that the Simpsons is the greatest show ever.
