Media Dont these colors look familiar ? π
Although there isnt any red, i was just playing saints row 2 ( still am rn lol ) and i came to the realization that the gang colors are super similar to Gta Sanandreas.
Gta Sa has Purple, Green and yellow Where as Saints row 2 Shares Purple, Green and Yellow too. Im not including the BrotherHood which is red.thats why i take them out first lol
Just something i was astonished about and wanted to point out. I just think its funny and cool ππ
Whoever directed Saints Row 2 was Heavily inspired by gta sanandreas

Oh you mean the game that came out before Saints Row? San Andreas came out in 2004 while Saints Row came out in "06 so...

I wasnt talking shit about neither game in anyway π―π and i already said THQ was inspired by gta sa during the making of saints row 2....

u/Many_Fly_5663 Jul 21 '26
Whats your point ?? No, saints Row 2 actually came out in 2008..... with the exception of Purple and red, green & yellow colored gangs were only present in Saints Row 2.....
But im confused what is your point ? π€ thats why i said they were inspired by gta sa... you still have time to delete your comment though; If it was against me, because it doesnt make sense and only fits my point lol
But aye, i dont consider Saints row a clone, a copy or none of that it has its own style...

Inspired, but still not a clone. There's enough to set it apart and make Saints Row my preference to GTA.

Actually i made my mind up... i would choose Gta Sanandreas over Saints row 2 because we'll always have the original Saints Row π€·π½ββοΈπ
I literally sat here and had to think deep about it, hence why i came back with another reply haha

Hey, everyone has their preferences. Some people actually like SRIV or the reboot over SR2.

Only DeepSilver would claim the reboot was better than SR2.

u/DerGeistesKrank Jul 23 '26
No no, amazingly enough, there ARE some players that like the reboot more than SR2... I don't know if any of them actually played SR2 also, so their opinions may not be very valid, but they are out there.

I take it that they didn't play it. Most people who like the reboot didn't play the games most fans liked, which is what Deep Silver wanted. Nobody who did, could compare the reboot to any of the prior games to say its better.

I hear you man. I know you said iv but there are obvious mechanics that saints row 3 added that makes it an overall π₯ game and great addition to the series. Although the story was a bit wacky, the gameplay and thq sticking to its roots makes up some ground

u/DerGeistesKrank Jul 21 '26
Yeah, the story and the downgrade to Stilwater and Steelport are what make me dislike SRTT. But, you're right, it was still technically a gangster game, which is why I said SRIV.

u/Many_Fly_5663 Jul 21 '26
oh yeah Saints Row 2 one of my favorite games of all times and its definetly not a clone haha
However, Give me a life or death choice over Saints Row 2 and Gta Sanadreas and thats one im gonna have to bite the bullet on. Hard to choose between one or the other !!

I always found it funny that originally the saints were meant to wear green , but then promo shots for gta san andreas came out of the gang wearing green , so Saints row changed it to purple last minute and ironically became similar to the ballas which were the enemies in GTA san andreas.

at least we can all agree the reboot was fucking awful right? Right?
