    I did not like GTAIV, i mean the shooting and everything were fine but it just wasnt chaotic enough for me.  
     
    I have heard this is more like SA then IV will I like it?

    Not particularly, just more of the same. New weapons and vehicles, characters, missions etc. But still pretty much the same.

    Sounds like you would like some Saints Row 2 maybe?

    @Yukoei: Never played it myself but according to a friend it does break off from the game's rather serious tone. In other words, it's more crazy.

    Yeah, Saints Row 2 sounds like the thing your looking after. I loved both GTA IV, and both DLC packs, and yeah, they were more chaotic mission-wise, and somewhat story-wise, so if you see them cheap, just buy them.

    If you want pointless, boring gimmicks, then Ballad of Gay Tony is for you. Otherwise, no. Stick to Just Cause 2.

    I just recommended you this game in another thread you made. I don't know, I haven't bought it on steam yet to know the difference, however it's probally more of the same.

    The episodes weren't as good as GTA:IV, so probably not. Besides, the mechanics don't hold up to todays standards.

    if you're looking for more chaos, go for saint's row 2. seriously, i love that game.  
     
    though gay tony does look like more of the same but less serious (which is a good thing somewhat)

    Depends.
    Weapons-wise, TBoGT owned it.
    Fun-wise, TBoGT owned it.
    Missions-wise, they're the typical GTA stuff
    Side-missions-wise, again, TBoGT owned it.
     
    If you're looking for 100% pure chaos, I have to agree with JJ, go for Saints Row 2.

    Yes you will love the expansions if you're looking for more chaos in Liberty City, there are a ton of awesome explosives in the DLCs

    @Yukoei: I just got the episodes and i finished the first mission in the Lost & The Damned episode, and my god did it's lovely resemblance to IV simply OVERWHELM me and make my nipples explode with delight. 
     
    In other words, so far it seems like an expansion pack without any differences in mechanics or structure. Just a new main character and story and whatnot... i fucking loved IV and it made me a happier person, and i think i'll enjoy these episodes. You, however, will not.  
     
    Unless the rest mission are THAT much different from the original game, which i doubt.

    I didn't like GTA4, Saint's Row 2 was great though. GTA4 looked better though.

    TBOGT is over the top. So I think that would be right up your alley.
