Well SR2 is mess on Steam but not here in GOG. The blame is here fully on the Valve, because they do not enforce any quality management on their direct download platform. And if you buy some buggy product that way, well good luck to get some customer support from them.

GOG programmers made sure, that this game is up to their release standards, so I can only applaud to them.

I played it quite fine before knowing of the patch - then I found out about it and everything got a lot easier due to the slowdown. It's up to Volition/Deep Silver to supply patches for their games but it seems they don't much care about whether or not a game works as it should, and nor does Steam (if either did, we'd have had an official patch years ago). GOG, however, do care, so they made a fix and applied it to the product sold on their own store (because that's what they can do). Maybe the publisher will take GOG's fix and apply to the Steam version some day, maybe they won't, but that's their choice to make, GOG has no power at all to make that choice.

Well, but I think the faults here are:

-CDPR to release a crappy port
-THQ because they didn't bother to fix it
-Nordic because they fixed it on one platform, leaving the other with a buggy product

If a fix exists, it needs to be implemented in all available platforms. The publisher is also the same (Nordic), so I don't see any reason on why they can't push the update on Steam too.

Because Nordic has nothing to do with Saints Row 2. :P

**************************************************************

OK guys, game bought and I'm currently downloading it. I'll play it a little bit and I'll make a report (in an hour or so).

Please make this thread factual and relevant to GOG so it's readable, not an useless flamewar based on past experiences.

Well, Volition, Deep Silver or whatever owns the right now.

I'm confused.

CDPR was the developer of the PC port.

Holy sh... Really? Wow, how come i never heard about this? I always heard nice things about CDPR but no one mentions this shitty port? Well, i'm saving this in my memory for the next time that i have to say "there's no good companies, only less terrible ones".

********* SAINTS ROW 2 GOG PORT TEST REVIEW **********

tested on Intel i5-4460s , 6Go RAM with GeForce 720 2 Go

I began playing with the standard x360 controls but in-game the instructions are still for keyboard+mouse so as it was a little confusing to guess the buttons, I switched overtime to K+M. I had to tone down the mouse sensitivity because it was way too fast.

Overall, the game speed is fine (the default walk looks like a benny hill ending but you can walk "normally"), I drove around the city and expereinced no issue or no crash or whatever so after 30min of gameplay, this port seems fine.

+1 and thanks for the feedback!

Like I just wrote in the dedicated section, I had problems when using the x360 gamepad (not "calibration" available I think). Keyboard + Mouse works fine (with sensivity down).

Actually it was CD Projekt Black that did the SR2 port, but yeah same company I guess.

How was the framerate of SR2? Does it run at 30 or 60 FPS?
