Yeah, IV's gritty realism was a step in the right direction for the series imo, it was just missing some good customization stuff and a bit of variety in the city and scale but was overall the better game. Ballad of Gay Tony definitely fixed and added stuff that felt missing in IV without heading back to super ridiculous levels and remaining a good balance of satire and reality. If V could top Ballad of Gay Tony and more I'll be a happy panda.Xiao wrote:
I prefer IV's style over SA, but I want SA's level of customization back. IV was extremely pared back in favour of building the city. It felt unfulfilling.
I don't want SA-tier crazy shit, though. I can play Saints Row for that.
Fanboys gonna fanboy. Not everybody can afford to have both games.NachoPiggy wrote:

Speaking of Saints Row, I can't wait for the third one, don't see why people keep trying to compare them or pick one over another. They're both good games to have, one has crazy super villain fun that doesn't take itself seriously, and the other is a more realistic and serious experience, creates a nice balance.
even when they're released like an entire year apart?Xiao wrote:

I wish more games use Endorphin/Euphoria, RDR and GTA IV spoiled me a bit in terms of ragdoll deaths. SR3+Euphoria would be pretty sweet.Pokebis wrote:
A cinematic for a game that's mechanics have yet to be even discussed!?
HORRIBLE!!1!
But, not seriously I enjoy the GTA series and regardless of the direction they chose I'm sure it will be a decent game. I can't really vouch for the realism of GTA4, but I really like the Endorphin engine and watching AI ragdolls limp around is quite enjoyable for me.
Still looking forward to SR3 a bit more, though. I hope it isn't as ridiculously easy as SR2.
