GTA V
Re: GTA V
So, serious question about Saints Row, keeping in mind that it appears to get rated very favourably compared to GTA by some people here. I started SR2 a short while ago, and found that I had to have enough rep to start a story mission.
So I did a few missions, and it went something like: do a mission, go towards next mission, oh shit I don't have enough rep, go do some side games, return to mission and complete it, go towards next mission, oh fuck I need more rep again?!?, go do some more side games .. etc.
To me, this seems needlessly tedious and seriously puts me off the game altogether. I want to do side games optionally, at my discretion, not be forced to do a handful between each story mission. I'd like to be able to play the story continuously without distractions.
Is it not possible to avoid being forced into side games? And how is everyone OK with being forced to do this between missions? I don't get it.

It's not possible to skip, but you don't have to do them all.
I like it because it makes you sample the different things the game has to offer. The side activities also each have their own story arc so you're not doing just things randomly.
The third thing I like about it is that it gives you a sense of time. This way there are a few days between main story events, rather than having the entire story play out in a week's time.
That's what always felt awkward in Gta. Complete a mission, spawn outside the mission giver's place, walk in again 3 seconds later and the guy goes "oh hey finally thereyou are listen blabla".

Famous last words.In addition, Zelnick has also stated that regardless of when the next-generation consoles are going to be released, he believes that the absence of Grand Theft Auto V from the next-generation consoles wont have any real impact on the sales of Grand Theft Auto V

Re: GTA V
There will be GTA alternatives on next gen consoles, and lots of people don't have the room or inclination to have multiple consoles hooked up to a TV. I can see them changing their minds and porting it for the new consoles around the same time they make a PC version.
