And? With Saints Row 2, who needs or even cares about GTA anymore?

Being able to create nearly every aspect of your character, except strangly height, on Saints Row and then being able to play a preset story line.

or

Being able to play as a character R*makes up and you'll probably hate, and then being able to play thru a preset storyline.

I think I'll take Saints Row for a thousand Bob. Saints row is fun, it's fast and it's got a ton of things to do. In fact, you'd have to play through like 3 times to see it all.

1.1 - I agree
I didn't think I'd like Saints Row - but the game allows you to create any character you want. The only thing that GTA4 does better is graphics. But I couldn't believe how many things to do there are in SR2. Makes me want to get a strategy guide for the first time since GTA3

What happened to microsoft paying 50million means they secured some monstrous DLC like a whole new city or some crap like that

That`s what I`m sayin....

This is a disgrace to everything. 50 million for more missions, they better be some good @ss missions.

Cause like I said this is one of the MOST PATHETIC things that has ever happened in gaming.

95% sure MS paid 50 million to get this to go multiplatform. DLC was just thrown in there.

Exactly! With Saint Row 2 being out and having Co-op why play more GTA IV. GTA Iv should of had Co-op and a list of other things that Saints 2 has. Saints 2 is funner, but I will agree that GTA IV has better graphics and cut scenes.

This is exactly what I said it would be. We won't find the 360 fanboys in this thread. LMAO at stupid fanboys who said it was "Vice City". "What do you think MS paid 50mil for, a couple of stupid missions." LOL!!!!

I like how PS3 fans jump to Saints Row, like thier going to stick it to GTA for leaving them out in the cold.

That would make sense if GTA IV was exclusive. However, this is not the case, and it is the same for SR2. Sorry to burst your bubble there, Scott.

How can you call people idiots and go on a rant that`s completely UNTRUE.

MS gave R* the 50 Million AFTER GTAIV had already been in development for PS3 and 360.

Don`t go around talking sh!t about people thoughts, when you don`t know what your talking about.

Also, Lazlow is VERY close w/ R*, Anything Lazlow has EVER said about GTA is TRUE.

1.13 - What's wrong with this.
Here is an idea why don't we release more missions for a game that most people never finished, right in the middle of the Christmas rush of new games season. Then we'll charge for it. Gee what a great idea and it will only cost 50 million.

No matter what spin you put on that. It is just bad business. Not to mention that their users of their new lead sku can't even use it.

well duh!!! honestly you believe everything MS ever said?? they said Vista would revolutionize the OS market and be completely 100% bug free. Hey the whole point of that 50 million is so you would buy the 360 version of the game and you was dumb enough to do it so you got nobody to blame but yourself. It was an advertising ploy to get millions of ppl to buy a 360 and the game nothing more and it worked to an extent it's called marketing people do you think they care if its 5 missions or an entire island now?? like hell they do! they got what they wanted out of you they got your cash and your the bigger fools for believing there crap. I bought my 360 for gears and my ps3 as it was the logical step from an ex ps2 owner.

TheRealSpy - 436 days 14 hours ago
1.17 - come on now
first of all. to the people saying 50 million for this?? why do you care? did YOU pay 50 million dollars? no...so just be happy extra content is available, or don't buy it. that's not hard.

and the bigger point. saints row 2 is a lot of fun. i'll give you that. but the development is NOTHING compared to that of GTA. and it's not just graphics. it's the feel of the vehicles when you drive them. the physics is much much better. the looks, the story, the voice acting are all leaps and bounds over saints row 2. and the characters customization...okay i'll give you that. but that's a feature that really doesn't change much of anything. i was, however, impressed with the different voice options.

and don't get me wrong. saints row 2 is more fun than gta. but only because it's co op. it's full of bugs. all the main story missions are the same. "goto this building, kill a buncha guys. then go here and kill more guys." there isn't a lot of imagination in mission structure.

i'd say GTA definitely deserves a lot more credit than you bandwagon on jumpers give it credit for. GTA was just this years halo. great game that a few ppl were jealous of and their idiot comments spread like wild fire and since ppl love to follow the group, it just became the cool thing to do to trash talk these games. It's not like those games were like lair or haze where the hype was huge but the product was little more than trash. There was just no way GTA could live up to the hype. it was still great, just not AS great.

EDIT: @ Vhero. what are you talking about? you act as if the ps3 version of gta is better. pretty sure they said they are basically identical. and, it's not like we paid more for our copy of GTA than ps3 owners did. we didn't give them extra money cuz they made us a promise. even if they never said exclusive content, i bet most of the ppl that opted for the 360 version still would. after all, there has only been one game this entire generation that launched as a multiplat that scored better on ps3 than 360 and that was quake wars.

Let me get this straight... You guys are saying nobody cares for GTAIV because it's 6 months old and Saints Row is here and people have moved on, right?

10+ million people bought GTAIV, so many infact that it knocked Halo 3 off record books. 10 million people have been waiting 5yrs for GTA to drop and all of a sudden those millions are going to say "F GTA it's to old"?

GTA is the most hyped game and one of the most popular games in the world. It's a household name everyone from news media, polititons, religous leaders, moms, dads, brothers, sisters, ma and pa, police, supreme court to lawers around the world know of this game.

10 million and you don't think that least a couple million are interested in extra GTA content? I don't know where some of you Playstation fans get your logic, but I think it's time for you to buy a boat before you drown.

1.19 - The 50 million
Was so that Rockstar could finish the game. Without that money, GTA 4 wouldn't be out now and take 2 would probably be owned by E.A. because they would be bankrupt. In return for the 50 million, Rockstar is giving microsoft DLC. This is the first and more will be to come.

Was it worth it? Only time will tell. Have to see how many people buy them and the reviews. I really dont play GTA, except the occasional online with a few friends. So this doesn't matter to me at this point in time. But if this were Mass Effect, now that would be a different story.

GTAIV is nothing compared to its predecessors. Hell, even San Andreas was a better game and you think that this DLC with extra missions and characters will make GTAIV more funner?

In my case, I'd buy a game rather than extra content for a game WITH nothing really... extra.

GTA1&2 were something special - great games. Then they changed the formula so it was still recognisable, but GTA3 was in a different genre, and it was really fun. But I got bored of GTA3. I bought Vice City, and it took me less time to get bored. I bought San Andreas, and there's a load of stuff to do, but when it boiled down to it the fun in the game came from precisely the same things as GTA3 - shoot people, wait for cops, shoot cops, basically d1ck around in the same way - so I got bored pretty quickly because I'd done that before.

"More Missions and Characters" sounds about right - that's all the GTA games since 3 have really added to the series. They can't really add much else as DLC because they seem to lack the imagination for it.

Lazlow said this on O & A not even a month after the game came out. The quote is old.

However, if anyone has insight into what the content is it's Lazlow.

5.3 - It doesn't matter anymore
It mattered back when people had to make up their mind which system to get it for. I don't know if MS overpaid, as there's no way to tell how many people bought the x360 version just for DLC, but $50mil is not that much money for a company like MS, but it's a lot of money for Rockstar. It was a carrot and it got people excited. After people actually played the game, many didn't care anymore (see posts above).

I know I don't.

I never laughed so hard in my entire life.
This is where $50million led to.

New characters and missions.

That's it.

You'd think they were doing a brand new game with that money.

That's a waste.

So true reaper, so true, lol.

8 - I won't discredit the download content
But I have to ask, does it really matter now?

There are too many good games coming out on all three systems that cost enough money as is. And you know that DLC won't be cheap. Won't people rather purchase FULL games rather than add ons? Especially since money is going to be tight on a lot of people.

For example, for those that have a 360, if money is an issue, wouldn't you rather pick up Fable, Gears of war 2, or Left 4 Dead instead of additional content for a game you probably got bored of already over the summer?
