Well, I really like the song (Eric Prydz - Pjanoo).

I don't know how R* fuuked up GTA4 so hard, it was just so boring.

Thank god for Saints Row 2, while its clear they were ripping of earlier GTA titles they did so with a certain flair that still made the game incredibly funny.
They took everything that made GTA3-VC-SA fun and put them all into one game.
Still one of my favorite games to play even today.

Best thing about SR2? Drop-in, drop-out coop ANY TIME. Fully integrated into the singeplayer game. Cheats are available during multiplayer. GTA4 locks out cheats in multiplayer (scowl). Saints Row 2 says "yeah, we know driving a super-mass car at 3 million miles an hour into oncoming traffic is more fun when your friend is hanging out the window with a rocket launcher...please have at it." GTA4 says "Look at me I'm moody" and then proceeds to trip over itself because the lighting in the room is so poor.

I haven't played SR2 but if it's anything like Saints Row (which I never finished) I may just have myself another game to play when I'm truly bored of my other games.

GTA's multiplayer is a ton of fun because of the realistic (or at least not super-console-fake like SR2) handling and the insane damage modeling. But unfortunately all the multiplayer modes delete half of what makes the game fun...can't go in buildings anymore, use elevators, etc. And there's no coop, which is a shame.

My problem with TLAD was not that it was buggy or that it was a huge file. My problem with it was that it was a steaming pile of rotten s***. The story was stupid, ALL the characters were COMPLETE pusstastic whiny scumbag loser ***hole s***heads who you don't care about at all so, consequently, the story is meaningless in ADDITION to sucking. Who's going to play a game that features only people they hate? There's not a single character in that game I did not absolutely HATE. That's not fun, and it's not compelling. All the previous GTA main characters have been guys who were certainly bad guys, but you could still root for them. You can't root for anyone in TLAD, because they're all the kind of ***hole you generally find yourself wishing would get hit by several busses.

Saints Row 2 takes everything awesome about the first game and perfects it. Then it adds anytime drop-in/drop-out coop to the ENTIRE singleplayer game (which means you can do missions with a friend), adds some awesome new cheats (which are available in coop), and adds aircraft (both helicopters and planes). It doesn't look anywhere near as nice as GTA4 and the car handling is unfortunately a bit arcadey for my tastes, but even given those two things, it's ten times as much fun as GTA4 is. Oh, also, Saints Row 2 doesn't restrict the weapons you can use in a car. If you're the passenger, you can lean out the window and fire of your RPG if you feel like it.

My only gripe with GT4 is that I can not believe that I have to take my virtual friends out just to keep them happy. It's a friggin action game. (I do want the gamer points)

This is exactly how i feel. When i first got it, it seemed like the best game ever, i played it for hours. Then i got stuck on a mission and didnt really play it much. I just tried to play it a couple weeks ago, and I couldnt see why I was so into it in the first place.

Isnt it funny how when it came out that it was being called the greatest game ever and getting perfect reviews, but once the hype wears off it really isnt as great as we all thought?

But multiplayer grew boring after a while, too, because it disables so much of the living world that is there in the singleplayer mode. But multiplayer is the only way to escape the babysitting bullcrap, so I'd play closed multiplayer games so I could screw around without getting freaking imaginary phone calls every 3 seconds. That grew pretty old pretty fast, though. Multiplayer is still fun with friends (the one thing Saints Row 2 lacks compared to GTA4 is support for LARGE NUMBERS of players in multiplayer...SR2 coop is 2 player max) but aside from that the game really lacks appeal because there's so much unnecessary garbage that gets in the way of having fun...which is the ENTIRE point of a videogame.

Needless to say my attention so far as gaming is concerned is focused solely on OFP:DR and Forza 3, both come out next month and the demo's should be arriving soon for both. I put SR2 on my xmas list as well as the disc that has both of the GTA4 DLC's but realistically I won't be sad if I don't get either.

Sometimes I get the urge to buy the PC version just for the director mode...but I'm not sure how much I'd use it.
