But the reason it isn't like saints row 2 is that it's trying to carve its own niche! If it goes head to head with gta5 it loses by a massive margin but if instead of trying to be a crime simulator instead embraces outlandishness they can both co-exist.
I'll be getting GTAV on release and this once it hits 40 bucks.
Flying around like a super hero =\= what GTAV is all about and that's what's appealing about this series at least to me.
After playing TLoU I wanted something mindless and silly So I finally finished playing through sr 3 and had a lot of fun with it.
