I'll also feel like Saints Row is what GTA wishes it could be.
I don't think I'll come back to GTA 5 as much as SR4 but it's still amazing. The characters are great (well, the guy in witness protection and the crazy guy are great), the story line is as engaging as people try to get me to believe GTA 4 was supposed to be, the world is so breathtakingly rendered and loaded with sheer cool stuff that comparing the two games is kind of embarrassing, the missions aren't as bat**** but they're still done better, and in general it's just a way better game in a technical sense.

But Saints Row 4 is one of those games like Deadpool which was clearly made for me by people like me and it has my heart. After all these years just moving around the city still hasn't gotten old and I don't know that it ever will. And as well written and voice acted as some of the characters in GTA 5 are they aren't as ****ing lovable as Kinzie, Johnny Gat, Shaundi (both versions), Pierce, and the Boss. And ****ing Keith David playing Keith David as your Vice President.

Both games are 5/5.
