I don't know how you can say Saint's Row is a different type of game; almost every single idea in the game was lifted wholesale from San Andreas. The problem is that it lacked the style, wit and intelligence of the GTA series. None of these things should be affected by budgetary constraints, although I accept that it is a legitimate reason for other games not being able to compete easily. In fairness, SR isn't that shit; it''s just shit in comparison to GTA. |
Dissagree. Budgets are time constraints as well as money. What if I gave you an hour to write a 5 page story, make it funny and interesting. It doesn't cost any money so it should be great right? What if I gave you 3 weeks to do it? Would it be better? You have the same monetary budget so style, wit, and intelligence shouldn't change right? Saint's Row had much fewer people and was made in much less time. In the end, the only way to complete the game was to throw together a story and steal most of the ideas from GTA.
