Why? Well lets do a comparison, a full break down shall we? [b]1. Gunplay[/b] Both GTA V and Saints Row 4 involve shooting stuff. Shooting untill they're all dead. When it comes down to the basical gun mechanics, I feel that GTAV's lock on system with LT works better than Saint Row 4, and this system combined with the cover system present makes GTAV's gun play better than that of SR4, though that does not mean SR4's shooting is bad by any means. However, I have to point out that SR4 has alot more variety in the guns available, including black hole guns and dubstep guns [b]2. Vehicle gameplay[/b] Each game has also driving as a core mechanic of each game (Well...) and so how well the driving is, is very important. I think Saint Row 4's vehicle gameplay is alot better for several reasons. Firstly, the cars control much better in Saints Row 4, in GTAV it took time to master being able to get around -blam!-ing corners with constant breaking, and was only really fun when you're franklin. Secondly, let's look at air vehicles. Again, Saints Row 4 does this much better. Not only are the helicopters in GTAV just annoying, the jets aren't that much better either with it being rather difficult to turn at first. Saints Row 4's helicopter work like a charm, and the flying vehicles work a little like harriers, hover mode and jet mode, both of which work beautifully. [b]3. World[/b] GTAV's world is alot bigger, alot more varied and new. Saints Row 4's world is an edited steelport, clearly this goes to GTAV [b]4. Customization[/b] A part of both games is the customisation of your character and your vehicle. In GTAV, you can't customise how your character looks in any way, but you can chose what he wears, and his hair, so I guess that counts for something. You can also improve your vehicle with different rims, spoilers, roofs, windows and colours. You can customise your character in GTA Online, but I think we all know this is complete shit. In Saints Row IV you can massively change how your character looks with different facial features, body shape, gender, details down to penis/breast size. And when it comes to car customisation, there's simply alot more to it. You can do everything GTAV can do with car customisation and more, including interior colour and colour of the underglow of the car. Saints Row IV wins this round [b]5. Online[/b] GTAO online, in my opinion, was a disappointment. The freeroam is lack luster, no where as much things to do as advertised, and the customisation of your character is atrcious. Saints Row IV, however, has a different take for online. There's no competitive game modes, there's simply Co-op mode. And while this is a blast, if you prefer competetive gameplay you'll prefer GTAV. [b]6. Special[/b] Both games have unique aspects to their game. In GTA you can switch your character, all of which have their own abilites. However, I feel Michael's ability is worthless, as I never used it. However, Franklin's ability and Trevor's ability are very useful as they make the game easier, but not necessarily more fun. Saints Row IV also has an entirely new forumla, super powers. These Super Powers include Super Speed, super jump, death from above, a force field when sprinting, fire, blasts, telekenises and stomp. The final four have variations in the type of element you can use, for example the blast has the ability to use ice, fire or mind control. These super powers change up how the game plays massively from SR3. Not only is it alot easier to get around (With sprint you can run up walls and across water, though it makes cars rather pointless) but it adds variety to the fighting. You can shoot them all, or you can freeze them, stomp them, burn them, freeze them or get them to fight for you. I've got to give this part to SR4 [b]7. Story[/b] I left this part to late because of how different the stories are. GTAV tells a serious story. It may parody the real world but the story between Franklin, Trevor and Michael is a serious one Rockstar are telling. Saints Row on the over hand is a parody of alot of things. The Matrix, Mass effect, even 1950's sitcoms. It's impossible to compare [b]8. Music[/b] Both games only really have radio stations for their music, not really their own OSTs (if they do they're not rememerable) and for both games, I only listen to one radio station, the other's are terrible. But if I had to count the number of songs I like from each game, well then SR4 wins by a small margin So overall, SR4 wins 5-2 in this comparison.
