for starters, sr2 looks even more wank in HD

No no no, don't start that again. You tell me
why it looked ugly. You
define ugly. Because too me, it looks like a fucking video game. GTA IV and RDR looked gross because of the unnaturally natural character animation (they need to stop putting so much damn work into that) and general level of detail on things. Everything looked like it had a layer of something on it. Some horrible alien substance.
I won't pretend Saints Row 2 has better graphics than GTA IV, but it's still a brighter, cleaner looking game.

(and how sad do you have to be to boast about being able to afford a HDTV? who cant afford one these days?

SOMEBODY didn't reload the thread before posting.

i said nothing of the controls making the game "difficult",
|
Then why is it a problem? Why bring it up if it didn't inhibit the gameplay itself? Is it because widdle-biddy baby can't constwuct an awgument?

its actually too easy a game. but the controls couldnt be any further from being tight. it doesnt even feel that there is any weight behind the characters at all, just flailing rag dolls.

Yeah, I won't pretend SR2 can't be a breaze at some points, but I don't play a game with lots of silliness for the sake of having a hard time doing it.
There's a reason for the ragdollitude, and you're legitimately feeble for not realizing this: If the character models weren't programmed to be light, the in game physics (which enabled the A+++ driving in-game) would suck them under cars and make driving through crowds of people
no fun at all.
Saints Row 2 was made to be 100% entertaining, and it is. It is a fun-ass game no matter what you do. GTAIV is not. Forcing the player character to go bowling with their fat, shitty cousin is not fun.
There's an actual Ad for GTA IV. In it, you can see Niko:
-and his shitty cousin
-Walking
-Standing around on a roof or garden
-Driving a car
-Jumping over a handrail
-Shooting a red car
-Interacting with a shirtless man
-Being thrown back by an explosion that would kill you in-game
-Driving a helicopter (Oh
snap)
-Driving a motorcycle
-Not saying anything nice to anyone
Here's an actual ad for Saints Row 2. I obviously picked
this one deliberately, since it really drives my point home.
And you can do all of those things. Many of them wherever you want.
And while Volition is at this very moment making Saints Row 3 and doing just as good a job at not taking themselves eriously and making something enjoyable, Rocktar is pissing away their time on some dumbass adventure game.
Case in point, GTAIV is fun, sure, but not nearly as fun as Saints Row 2, and it never, ever will be.
Additionally, Saints Row 2 takes it more over the line than GTA IV ever has. Death is not discouraged, but you in fact get bonus points for killing lots of gang members at once. For less than most in-game weapons you can turn just about any vehicle into an engine of destruction. Your character isn't as bad as you make them, they're a crazy fucking bastard all their own. They do some cringe-worthy shit, seriously. The only reason these media weenies whine about GTA so much is because they know jack-shit about video games.
