Just for the record, I'm not criticizing the game, I am looking forward to it. But my cynical side feels that they saw GTA and then realised whatever they had for SR2 wasn't good enough, so pushed it back.
Or my even more cynical side feels that they might not have wanted SR2 to go head to head with GTA's DLC.
Either way, I hope this means the game will be even better.
I can see them maybe taking the options idea, i mean custom characters means they can do lots with the story if they wanted... I think they are taking a game that may have already been more fun than GTA IV and they are now listening to all the haters of the new GTA and adding in what they wanted to see.
SR2 won't be match GTA4, imo, its going to be a good game just not match the greatness.
I wouldn't be surprised if the delay was caused from the PS3.
Either way if SF2 turns out like SA im going to hate it, cause besides the story and a few things, getting 100% was tedious and boring.
GTA4 got better in where it failed in past GTAs but stripped down a lot of what was there and made GTA fun.
Saints Row was a fantastic game. If it didn't have such a tacky storyline and had more interesting charecters, it would have actually beaten all GTAs imo.
