The clunky controls of rockstar games is intentional! They think it's "more immersive" for your character to just not do what you want it to do.

Saints Row 4 is better than GTA 5, change my mind.

Fundamentally different games, Saints Row 4 is silly sci-fi. I personally enjoyed it more.

I felt the actual game flowed better, GTA is all about playing in a sandbox and seeing all the various things you can do.

Saints Row is more of a straight up action game.

At some point they reacted to the "murder simulator" hysteria by pivoting from action games to sims.
