The Ranting Monkey: Grand Theft Auto v.s. Saints Row 2

[31277b]

Love the way you said Cake

[Syndacade]

um... what lol the only thing i heard was saints row

[Xcoming2]

WHAT???

stop speaking Arabic

[TheeFakeYahtzee]

im a zp cloner myself (check out full punctuation) and yours are.... well. different

[cmbdragon666]

have you thought of making podcasts?

[Alhorian]

@cmbdragon666 I do. Where have you been?

[cmbdragon666]

@Alhorian I've been watching the wrong videos, that's were I've been! XD if you do happen to have a PSN and orange box for PS3, try adding me, (CMBdragon666) but you may have a long wait, becuase I need to get better connection! :'(

[musicalsilence0813]

i can't stand the single player of gta 4, the multiplayer was cool but other than that it felt like it back tracked from san andreas

[volker136]

what DID you think of gta 4 . good or bad?

[sabertoothray]

wtf are u talking about realism going out the window? ROFL where the fuck have u been dude most game these days are actually getting MORE realistic an GTAIV is fine no. its PERFECT why well not just besides the point it made HALF A MILLION ($500,000) in its FIRST WEEK OF RELEASE it also has fucking gamereviews with a score of fucking 10 yes A 10.. how rare is that? extremely.. SR is nothing but a shitty gta clone though i dont care about that its just stupid over exaggerated an way over the top.

[Cream147player]

@sabertoothray I agree that games are getting more realistic. It's a disgrace isn't it, I mean, if I wanted realistic, I would just go out into the big wide real world. Mario Galaxy also had many reviews of 10 out of 10. What do you think of that game.

[sabertoothray]

@Cream147player only poeple with wiis have those sort of games. and only fags own a wii.. oh and little kids. i like mario hes a classic but i HATE all his new games after mario kart an mario party.. 7 or something i think it got milked to much an was getting old. i on the other hand find it fun that ames are getting more realistic of course not 100% realistic cus thats lame an like u said ill just go outside an do it myself but like what GTAIV did i think was awesome a 10/10 games an BC2 also

[Cream147player]

@sabertoothray So the point I'm getting at here is that you hate Mario Galaxy, a game which also received a lot of 10 out of 10s from a lot of reviewers. That's fine, but therefore it's also fine for Alhorian here to hate GTA IV. If you argue against that by saying people who gave Galaxy 10 out of 10 are "fags", I could just say the same about the GTA IV a 10 out of 10. My opinion on GTA IV by the way is that it is a good game, although not the best of the series.

[longshot1120]

nikolai from doyouwantaslapinstan lmao u like the scarface songs?

[OmegaWeaponX2]

Thanks for allowing me to discover Push It to the Limit, I love it :)

And that last pic made me laugh XD I imagine how it would be if I actually saw someone do that and I can't help but crack up.... no pun intended

Sorry for the late comment, I just now realized I should do it more often :P

[TheElescridi]

you might be able to find gta london for ps1

[SmellsLikeMontana]

you're like a zero punctuation wanna be

[PhantomTrigger]

dude, he admitted that in the video when he was talking about stealing other ideas etc give him a break, just cuz zero punctuation was first doesn't mean they can be the only reviews of this style

[SmellsLikeMontana]

i just watched the first part of the video. haha i shouldn't be too quick to judge.

[123lambofgod321]

GTA V: London

That would be pretty fun.

[GriffCannon90]

this guy's my hero

[renmorpheus]

- and they achieved it with IV. It might be not as enjoyable or inventive as the earlier GTAs, but so was III, which is why it's understandable. If you've played the DLC, you may know that they still can deliver a fun experience with a realistic setting (Gay Tony).

[renmorpheus]

That was pretty ignorant, to be honest, even if humorous.

Imho, it's very audacious from North to try something new with the formula, because I always felt that with the tools they posess, they could tell great stories with relatable characters, smart writing and cinematic quality, subtely critisizing videogames and gangster fantasies, coming close to what they tried to imitate in the first place (serious mob movies like the Godfather)-

[larywhatsit]

I admire your punctuation.

[OUTCASTGameGroup]

No Two Worlds insults? Oh....

[AfricanH3ro]

The first GTA was in London.

[AffroHair94]

No it had an expansion which was in London :)

[Hornilope]

that was the expansion pack.

[blueluny]

Knowledge fail!

[MANBYTHEWIRELESS]

jeez if i handed reviews like yours to my boss i would lose my job

[stupidmuthafucka]

Niko Belic is not russian.he is serbian.he was in the army in the yugoslav war

[Istiforune]

They are both good and Alhorian acknowledges that he is like yahtzee and i don't really understand why people would watch the ranting monkey videos just to bitch about how much like yahtzee he really if he is so much like yahtzee why would you not like him although i know no one will ever see this because the past two comment were months ago but i felt like pissing people off

AND JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE TYPING IN ALL CAPS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT YOU ARE MAD.

[monkeyman123201]

if you dont like him DONT WATCH HIM I like hm so I watch and enjoy his videos if I hated him I woudent sit here a bitch about him being a Yahtzee rip-off and I woudent watch his videos so to all those who bitch and complain about this guy FUCK OFF he makes videos for fun he dosent need all you whiney bitches

[m4rkg1]

No you fuck off, if I want to put that he's a yatzhee rip off and is shit I will.

[archstealthowl]

this guy is a faggot compared 2 yahtzee, but these queers like him so stop bugging them

[Bwarg696]

But it's too much fun watching his fanboys ruin their diapers.

[Tryzon]

Kent Paul, eh? If he turns out to be the star of GTA5 then I think the joyful cheering from Brittania will be heard in Belgium.

[Jcahalane]

But he's a bit of a soft southern poof though isn''t he?

[Tryzon]

He's delightfully useless, I think. I admire that in a character (semi-sarcasm).

[Jcahalane]

He's like stephen Hawking's body and limbs, sure it's nice to have them, but does he really need him?

[Tryzon]

Fair point. His inclusion is hardly the most pressing of matters, really, although one can certainly hope ^_^

[iunnox666]

How is this trademark? You're ripping off Yahtzee, and badly at that.

[BombThatSystem]

A nice substitute for Yahtzee. Good videos man.

[SenseOfJustice]

2 songs out of scarface not bad

[ahshdhfhg]

Shut up i told my mum

[SenseOfJustice]

wat r u on about

[Luffy133]

Is there supose to be audio? i can here the song just fine but no audio after that

[Tompag101]

ha ha, thats really funny and Its all so true!

[productblowtorchman]

Hey like both play both. I have both. and last cartoony gta wasnt gta3 it was san andreas. *nice rampage nod thier-i love rampage*

[Hereticanthem666999]

i have both too but i have to say gta4 copied saints row's psyics engine so gta 4 is kinda copying it but at the same time saints row is copying some of the bikes and cars of gta too

[C0DM0Dz]

ur a fucking moron! jk man. all i'm saying is i don't agree. lol

[decoyicus]

good i was starting to wonder if i was the only person who thought this

[sophiepritch555]

Really Good Vid =]

I Agree

XX

[gtacman388]

dude you like day in the life of a turret fuckin brilliant XD

[gtacman388]

hah ok but saints row is a blatetened rip of of gta san andreas which in my opinion is better not for graphics but for all out fun oh and btw final fantasy is good i saw ur sly dig on it sure it drags a bit but over it has a great story and kick ass cinematics

[gtacman388]

dude i'm sry about b4 i didn't mean ok

[Alhorian]

Oh dude! Don't back up no, come back with something pithy, a witty retort. I crave this kinda interaction. It's cool fella.

[stueymon]

Another ZP clone, yes you took to the time to admit that in a somewhat meta move but it's still a clone. admitting to murder doesn't mean you'll be let off for it. your attempting to mimic the humour too in ZP but your lacking the actual stark points made and your "bla bla bla -istan" comments were borderline racist, especially considering Niko Bellic was Eastern european. i'm not actually taking snipes for the fun of it but offering constructive criticism.

[Alhorian]

1. Check when this video was first post.

2. Realise I came first.

3. Tell your Mum I can't make tomorrow night 'cause I have to go to the clinic, over what she gave me last time.

Urgh...see what you made me do...resorting to mum gags. God I hate myself right now.

[stueymon]

You sir deserve to suffocate on a bag of porrigde (normally i wouldn't point this out, but since you confidence in your own work is so weak i'll say yes, i am referencing a certain ZP episode)

[Alhorian]

Porridge maybe?

[gtacman388]

you shud suck your own dick since yuo are the only one who will ever do it stueymon

[Malakian03]

Damn... A bad ripoff of Yahtzee and he sucks... Just ranting with no reason isn't funny... Yahtzee states the facts and he makes it into a sophisticated fast and original humor... THis guy sucks...

If you want the real deal, google "the escapist" or "zero punctuation"...

[Gamemaster8888]

Damn....thats way off....since Yahtzee doesn't even review games and just does an exercise of hyperbole on them.....its the same fucking thing.

[gtacman388]

here iz another fact for you i think saints row iz better than gta 4 and i agrre with yahtzee

however your "reviews" are just a bad copy of zero punctuation so dont go assuming i dont agrre with you ass face

[Alhorian]

When I did this "rant" I wasn't doing "reviews" just "amusing videos", if you don't "like" them then why don't you just move along instead of feeling the need to spout "shit"?

[gtacman388]

YOU SUCK

[Alhorian]

Ah a person, I assume you're a person although a full capital comment that must have taken seconds off of your life to make leads me to belive you could be a leaky anus or some other lower form of bacteria, whose name begins with gta doesn't like how I dislike GTA IV in favour of Saint's Row 2. Bear in mind that I made this video before each one was released, like some Nostradamus of the gaming world foretelling superior games. You don't agree with me, you don't agree with Yahtzee; fact.

[k7hawk]

You give yourself too much credit. You're more Howard Stern than Nostradamus.

[Alhorian]

I'm more Howard the duck, than Howard Stern.

[icommentshit]

lol well it's good that you admited that you copied yahtzee's thing :P good review tho ;)

[THEBIGZED]

Disagreed with, well, almost everything. GTA4 is the best GTA because of the realism. I love realistic games and you obviously don't. Fine then.

[k7hawk]

is there a review here somewhere?

(1:10 of lost time later...)

oh theres the game...

(20 seconds later)

and now were finally going to talk about it.

[Alhorian]

No. There is no review, there's a video for a few minutes to entertain people. What made you think there was a review cunt chops?

[caymangame]

Good review my good fellow...you sir have have just got a subscriber

[windyboy35]

hahaha funny as fuck, well done mate. oh and ur english, good to see a decent british youtuber. im subscribing. are you??

[eligh3121]

u cant use the saints row weapon system? ur retarded then, go play viva pinata if u find saints row to hard to hold down b and select a weapon

[Alhorian]

As hard as it is to have a conversation with a man who spelt the first two words of his commment wrong I will, but try.  Let me just go smash my head against solid brick...okay. When you're in the middle of a firefight you are using the left stick to run around avoiding bullets.

[Alhorian]

Those are the sharp things flying at you from the enemy's guns. Then you run out of bullets and you need to switch weapons, but instead of simply cycling through to one that has ammo, or heaven forbid it actually changes automatically when you run out you have to fiddle. That was my point that I tried to convey through the medium of humour for the entertainment of people who like free shit.

[spammaster3000]

thats what you get when you argue with the british, who invented the wit that you americans attempt to copy

[DevilGodMan]

Wanking zero-wannabe...

[ownedking12]

saints row is alot better than gta 4 cant wait till saints row 2 comes out?

[Mailman692]

you have some obvious influence from zero punctuation

but your subjects are much more interesting

[bohnert]

PLS help me

[jakalkidd10]

i liked gta4

[AtheistDanzig]

I like Tommy and the Verseti Gang

[AtheistDanzig]

Why does Final Fantasy Need 11 games, there like Nintendo games.

[LtFang299]

Vegas 2 was a fun game but I guess it boils down to opinion. Nice rant.

[davegorack]

is it just me or are GTA clones better thean GTA? like Godfater, Streets of LA, Scarface and saints row.

[stigotte]

compared to gta 4 gta 3 compared to gta san andreas NO FUCKING WAY THAT IS THE BEST GAME EVER

[kenpachiman]

soory i meant over hte top humor

[kenpachiman]

i for one am looking forward to saints row 2. gta4 took it self way to seriously for me, I'm not a person who likes realism in thier game so im looking forward to theover the humor of the game

[lucian2908]

G. . . T. . . A

RULES!!!!!!!!!

[WindowsDavid]

yea i know it dosent exist but to be exast

[Ultraussie]

You dont know what your talking about sir.

[Alhorian]

You're probably right.

[WindowsDavid]

you were wrong niko is from yugoslavija

[Ninox37]

Niko Bellic is Serbian.

[WindowsDavid]

yea but he was from Bosnia but still it makes him Serbian like me :)

its wierd how he has that weird french ascent

[Alhorian]

You actually thought their was a country named icouldn'tgiveacrapistan?

[bu11et4mivalentine]

i totally agree u were amazing

[Alhorian]

why thank you

[RioGiovanni]

instead of a DVD player you had a CAKE! XD

and "bounce like my cheques" was dismal.

"idon'tgiveacrapistan" "doyouwantaslapistan"

"gonnaeatabapistan" man! you were on fire in this episode! Love you Alhorian! Five Stars!

[Alhorian]

Thank you

[decoyicus]

id love to play as kent paul

[Chaos1091]

Doyouwannaslapastan! LOL! Other than that nice video!

[MojoGiggedy]

Couldntgiveacrapastan XD!

[sumanoskae]

you make an exelent point as much as love

GTA4 it dose foucs to much on realisim saints row 2 seems like its foucsing on the fun factor i dont know wich will be better im just hopeing that when rocksstar realeases GTA5 (or whatever they call it) it will go back to its old format

[LaCokaNostra81]

the only thing good about gta4 is the graphics

[blueluny]

GTA 4 SUCKS mainly for the following reasons: IT has less content than ANY previous installemnt. (Rampages, planes, robberies, guns, territories, gangs, special vehicle missions, customisation etc etc etc

b) The multiplayer does not take advantage of the sandbox environemnt very well. (Due to point a mainly).

The only improvemnts are the driving (sweet) shooting control and graphics. IT IS 200% LESS FUN! nex gen consoles deserve improveed content as well as graphics.

[HardXExplain]

blueluny, u seriously dont know good games and Saints row IS a ripoff of gta 4. But ur entitled 2 ur opinion and who cares about mine.

[Rylus]

Yes, Saints Row is a RIP OFF this has been bloody well established but wtf is your point? being a rip off has never stopped it from being fun to play The Godfather game was inspired by the GTA series but ppl seemed to enjoy that just fine. and saying that every game thats is based off of gang violence guns drugs and the like and means of storyline progression is by taking missions off of in game characters is like saying that every song artist today is a rip off of the 1st person to play or sing

[HardXExplain]

He Dumbass, I Never Said Saints Row Was Bad All I Said Was That It's A Ripoff Which u Agreed With. Basically I Never Had A Point, Just An Opinion. No Need 2 Get Snippy...

[Rylus]

ho oh, now i'm a dumbass? now theres plenty reason to get 'snippy'

[HardXExplain]

Hey,that's great.How about u move on with ur life?

[Rylus]

right off the bat your bringing in real life, whatever.

[HardXExplain]

never said "real life", i said "life". if ur breathing uv got 1. now move on. i dont mean u dont have 1 either.

[blueluny]

HEy hard, you opinion, like everyones, is welcome. But i challenge "u dont know good games". as a stand alone title it's pretty good. But in NO WAY deserves the credit it has recevied. A measure of any game is how long people play it. I've not seen any value in long term online play. and NO ONE on my friend list has played it at all in ages. its a MAJOR disappointment. maybe the pc gamers will make more of it from mods?

[HardXExplain]

And my the same, i think we've actually reached an agreement:)

[HardXExplain]

Again, u show no evidence other than your opinion yet describe gta, highest selling game in a month breaking halo 3's record, as a disappointment. In the end, dont make assumptions. im not saying saints row sucks or good, im saying by many high-rated standards gta 4 kicks the crap out of it. I mean reviews.

[blueluny]

Granted, the "evidence" (game site reviews etc) suggests its better than sex. (Something, i am pleased to say, i have had more of than the average GTA4 fan i'd wager). But the facts are: (as per my 1st post). IT has less content than ANY previous installemnt. (Rampages, planes, robberies, guns, territories, gangs, special vehicle missions, customisation etc etc etc

b) The multiplayer does not take advantage of the sandbox environemnt very well. (Due to point a mainly).

[blueluny]

The only improvemnts are the driving (sweet) shooting control and graphics. IT IS 200% LESS FUN! nex gen consoles deserve improveed content as well as graphics. Saints row MOVED FORWARD more than gta4. something any game in a series should do. Sadly the online lement of GTA4 DIDN'T deliver stretch beyond the paramaters of EXISTING online multiplayer games. In effect: it's jack of all trades, master of none.

[blueluny]

The beauty of GTA has always been FREE CHOICE. In the sense of both movement and activity. Something which if available in multiplayer would have been a great step forward. IMAGINE: Teraming up with friends to rob something / someone / somewhere, while being persued by gangs / police / vigilantes (all real people) who CHOOSE their own standpoint.

[blueluny]

Althogh my opinion is largely based on my disappointment at my expectations not being met at the same time i feel they took a step BACKWARDS for the most part. That clear? :)

[matto95]

Your Retarded

[Alhorian]

That would be "You're retarded" or "You are retarded".

[bizzmarky89]

shut the fuck up up alhorian, no one on youtube cares about spelling

[Alhorian]

You surely mean "Shut (capital, starting a sentence) the fuck up (singular) Alhorian (capital as it's a proper noun)", no?

[kenpachiman]

lol good one

[Derekness22]

This guy is a fucking dumbass. People want realistic gaming hence why there are 50+ sports games, basketball, Football, Tennis, Golf, baseball, soccer and other things. And the story of Niko Belic was badass. While Saints Row was a bit.. Cartoony for my tasting.

[blueluny]

Brilliant. Can we please have an updated post release review of GTA 4? Especially regarding teh weak and restrictive multiplayer. I would very much like to see my thoughts validated by someone as articulate and fucking funny as yourself.

[Alhorian]

3 weeks.  Mark it in you calendar.

[SpineShank7]

"Couldntgivacrapistan" CLASSIC!!!!!

[lukemanity]

Crap.

[Cutts77]

Indeed! Radio Broker is pretty good though, with some of the tracks heard from the trailers and ads on it. Do you play on the 360 or the PS3?

[Alhorian]

360...Achievement Whore!

[Cutts77]

Ahh ofcourse. What is your gamertag?

[Alhorian]

Oak1ey

[Cutts77]

I'm happy to say that GTAIV is a brilliant game. I understand your concern with the character but once you get into the story I think you'll take a liking to him. I sure did.

[Alhorian]

...again, don't take these rants seriously. I'm logging the hours on GTA IV, don't worry. But doing levels from the beginning including th etravelling when you die sucks ass, the radio stations are dogshit (No pop, No country, No mellow 80's etc etc) and there aint any decent voice actors, you go from Sam Jackson to Noone...a puzzler!

[raisthefox1]

I took the cock slap station to Idontgiveacrapistan.

[CHEEZHE4D]

why does everyone have to copy the zero punctuation guy

[Alhorian]

I'm copying someone? On the internet? really? Everyone knows mate, you're not pointing out anything original, other than that you are a douche bag! In my first Rant...the FIRST one i say that i'm copying Yahtzee. Everyone who likes my stuff like yahtzee. Would you love to see more yahtzee stuff? Me too, but it's tough shit 'cause he does 1 a week on a wednesday, so I do 1 a week on a Sunday to tide people over. Now fuck off and winge somewhere far away from me, you Prick!

[CHEEZHE4D]

but why do u need to copy just make something original

[Alhorian]

I was unaware Yahtzee did a rant on GTA and Saints Row...silly me.

[CHEEZHE4D]

im not talking about the topic im talking about the whole delivery, u completly copied the way he talks and everything else.

[Fenwolf2003]

How many ways of reviewing a game are there? There's the 'Yahtzee style' of fast talking with a lot of humour and wit. There's a slow, painfully delievered readout thats basically you saying what you saw on IGN. There's the 'parody', which is just taking the piss of the game but not really talking much about it at all. There aren't many other ways and Yahtzee's is basically the best. Hell, i'd rather have a new Yahtzee then some angry guy screaming down a microphone about the faults of a game.

[CHEEZHE4D]

just talk like a normal person and give us your review, instead he trys to be like yahtzee and be funny and talk fast (which he failed at)

[Fenwolf2003]

He does talk like a normal person since he doesn't put on an accent. He doesn't really talk THAT fast, i talk faster in real life then this guy does on the review. Also, talking fast in a review is a must. Would you rather watch something 4 minutes long? Or 10 minutes long because the reviewer talks really slowly. And being funny is kinda a must too, because if you talk slowly and blandly no one will ever watch you again.

[CHEEZHE4D]

did u see the ign review of gta IV? it was alittle longer than 4 minutes and he talked normal and got strait to the point, but the only thing u need to say about gta 4 is AWESOME!

[Fenwolf2003]

No i didn't see it, because it was most likely boring and serious. Yahtzee and this guy are aiming for funny, not straight to the point information.

[CHEEZHE4D]

yes but yahtzee is actually funny

[Fenwolf2003]

Your opinion. And if you think he's not funny then maybe you should not be watching his videos?

[CHEEZHE4D]

this is the only one of this guys videos ive watched

[Fenwolf2003]

Like I said in my other post, people 'copy'(a word that fits hand-in-hand with the internet) Yahtzee because of his style. If you see something that works you're hardly going to go out of your way to be unlike it just so people don't call you original. Hell, Yahtzee might have ripped the style of someone else to begin with. Nothing is 'original' anymore, the world is many millions of years old, basically everything has been done.

[Alhorian]

/\ What he said

[CalifornyaRIP]

Haha great, genuinely funny while maintaining a lot of good points. rip-offs aren't usually good, and while this is basically Zero Punctuation with a new accent and slower speed I find it easier to understand because I'm an idiot. Still, it's a good video and if they aren't making Saints Row 2 for PS3 I'm going to shank somebody.

[dennett316]

Having played GTA 4 today, you couldn't be more wrong about the typical GTA humour - it's still more than intact - try watching the TV Show about Republican space adventurers and not laugh you're ass off. As for Nico, I'm warming to him already, and his fatass bumbling cousin, great banter between the two.

Still, I'm looking forward to Saints 2, though the fact I seemingly can't use my character from the first game is annoying!! In fact, fuck THQ, I want my Pimp Shotgun and gold limo back.

[Alhorian]

Shhh don't ell everyone that nothing I say should be taken literally.

[The1337Spartan]

DUUUDE! u read my script yet? whadya think? if u think its bad its ok. Countructive critisism and all that... :D

[Alhorian]

It's way to short, and I cant just steal quotes from other people/magazines

[The1337Spartan]

aaah well. worth a shot. il lright another one someday :D

[N8748N]

saints row 2s looks fuckin klass av u seen the new trailers on here?

saints row 2 rules

[vidking44]

i thinks ur racsit to russians

[Nyarlathotep137]

I think that being a Russian kinda puts a new spin on things as opposed to being the typical Italian mob style boss dude.....I mean the Russians have KGB operatives and more drama and intelligence leaks then the American government

[The1337Spartan]

I love the little monkey at the start standing on a "SOAPBOX" haha!

[Pilotman20]

Finally someone who likes Saints Row 2 more than GTA THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[Thargh]

It sucks, i traded The Darkness to Saint's Row from this guy, and he said there were minor scratches, but he had never had any problems with the game.

I beat the campaign, did some Optional Quests, and the game died on me...

[The1337Spartan]

ahahahha. cake =)

yay open bags of crack!

not really as funny as the other ones dude, but still awesome! icouldntgiveacrapistan AHAHAHA.

spoke too fast? ya. kinda.

[The1337Spartan]

18 views?!!? better get noticed soon i hopes

=( sad face.

[Tobywoods13]

lol cockslap station
