Great to have Phil on the show, I'm interested in what you guys think of Saints Row 2, I love it.

We've talked about it on the show before. it's a damn fine game that may have got lost in the shuffle of AAA Games that came out during the holiday season.

How would you comment on Yahtzee's statement that Saints Row 2 > GtaIV ?

I can't believe Yahtzee voted Saints Row 2 as his game of the year, although for him it's probably just the least disappointing game of 2008.

It depends on the question. I think that just as far as the "fun" factor is concerned, Saints Row 2 wins hands down. As for narrative and graphics then I think GTA IV is ahead of SR2. they're different games... I've been a big critic of GTAIV's length and feeling that it's a bit of a grind through the middle part of that game. Also there just isn't enough stuff to do in GTAIV's New York that kills the replayability.

I dunno, they're different games and are going for different things. It really shouldn't be an either/or. Play them both.

I like me some good narrative in my videogames, but good graphics for me is no reason to judge games, the "fun" factor is.

Guess what, I probably need to play them both. :lol:

There really is no replayability to GTA IV. The online is tedious, it looks ugly, it's choppy as crap and I thought the idiots with mics on CoD4 were bad...

There is nothing fun in the multiplayer in that game. here's a break down of how it works.

You spawn
you run for the next 5 minutes trying to find a gun
you finally find a gun with no help to the clutter f*** of a map you have
you find somebody
and spend the next minute in auto-aim trying to hit them in a "one of us will win by luck duel"
then you finally die
re-spawn, repeat.

The auto aim is such garbage because it barely makes contact.

Also, for it being a "you can do whatever you want" sort-of game besides clothing, gun and fast food shops there's not very many buildings/stores you can go into which I was really disappointed about.

The game was fun while it lasted but I don't know how anybody could go back and play it. Even the DLC thats coming wont have me wanting to go back.

Meh

Loved the show, Having Phil on was a definite treat!

However...did no one catch Lono call the town of Arefu from Fallout 3 "Atreyu?" Lol, I just thought it was funny because I had just been listening to them.

Yeah I noticed that :lol: But I couldn't remember the exact name of the town either so I just went with it.

Wasn't Atreyu that kid from the Neverending Story? :lol:

thanks for turning me on to Rebel FM. What an AWESOME podcast. Super smart, really informative and interesting discussions.

Oh yeah, and Saints Row 2 is really fun. It's like GTA but heavy on the gangsta and before it got crazy complicated.

It was nice to have Phil on the show. It added a bit of variety.
