Saints row, SOLO!


Another SR/GTA related article emerges and only confirms that retards are still working in the gaming media.

I really find the article disrespectful. The industry is always comparing SR to GTA like a bunch of clueless retards. They turn it into a competition like moronic fanboy dipshits. "Saints Row 2 Shakes Its GTA Roots"......WTF. Why are there no articles on halo and every other goddamn FPS shaking their doom and quake roots. Why no articles on GTA shaking its driver, syndicate wars, shadowrun, etc, etc, etc roots? Because its unprofessional and fucking stupid to constantly compare. It would be like movie critics comparing EVERY horror movie to the very first big successful horror movie. No film critic would risk looking like a fool in that regard. Yet gaming journalist etc, have no problems looking foolish, with lack of any coherent oversight from their employers who can blame them? I can! Why is it that only GTA must garner god like status amongst morons who seem to think GTA should be the only game in its genre or the only game in history to the extreme? Maybe because the majority of the gaming media remember GTA 3 as the summer after their pubic hair sprouted forth.

For some reason they only deem shitty articles like this appropriate for any game that falls into the same genre that GTA "kickstarted". You'll never read any reviews or articles comparing HALO to Wolfenstien, doom or quake nor will you see any comparing god of war to the countless games it borrowed from. reviewers and journalist who CONSTANTLY compare SR 1 or 2 to GTA only reassure me that their are complete goddamn idiots working in the gaming media industry and they are no better then the children who bicker over these games on message boards.

Open memo to gaming media, "Stop looking like a bunch of unprofessional retarded monkeys fucking a football"!
