Gta V vs Saints Row IV. Round two!

 I talked about Saints row 2 and Gta IV, but the battle doesn't stop there!.

In the month of August and September, Rockstar games and Volition Inc. will release each a new game of the series. Saints Row 4 and GTA V.
Turns out Gta V learned from their mistakes, while Saints Row learned to ignore their SR2 fanbase.

So what has Gta V to offer?
new ways to spend your money (buying stocks, real estate)
new San Andreas-level custumization (tattoos, cars, clothes)
hunting, underwater diving, racing, tennis, golf
new ways of doing missions (choices)
three main characters, accessible at any time (even on missions)
a great open world experience with a big map

So what does Saints row 4 promise?
super powers
alien enemies
a lot of new customization elements (cars, clothes)
mech robots
futuristic future stuff like teleporters
crazy sorts of weapons
tons of parodies
basicly everything Saints Row 3 had to offer (it was supposed to be dlc after all)

So the basic evaluation is this: Gta V sticks to it's traditions while giving the players what they want: tons of ways of spending time while not on missions. They realized that physics isn't everything, so they looked up to what San Andreas had to offer.
Saints Row 4 tries to be as crazy as possible. A lot of SR2 fans, including myself, are disappointed by the content because we really wanted more fun, but in a serious way of gameplay. SR 4, however doesn't focus itself on the classic gang life, but on aliens, spaceships and all kinds of ridiculous things.
I am sure there are players who enjoy the crazy stuff, but I am not one of them. For this, I prefer Gta V over SR 4, just because it knows how to deliver the gameplay people want.

It really is disappointing to see a fun, gang based game like SR2 turned to be some kind of alien superpower, US president, dubstep gun lollapalloza.

V wins this battle.
