E3: THQ, breakin' my heart
Posted at 02:10 am Tuesday May 16th 2006
Normally I love THQ games but one game is going to be seriously feelin' my disdain (ewww, gross sentencification).
[url=http://www.saintsrow.com/index.php]Saints Row[/url] is a 100% GTA rip off. Driving around, stealing cars, killing people...100%. Why would you make a game like this? Because the GTA name currently has a stigma among parents, grandparents, and aunts/uncles who buy it for their hyperactive gun crazy teenage sons, grandsons, nephews (remember that whole [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee]hot coffee[/url] overhype?).
In anycase, the engine is a whole lot nicer with better graphics and a smoother soundtrack so at least the programmers did a good job.
