Saints Row 2

GOG Version is better than Steam and PS3 but not the 360. First I own the PS3 and 360 Versions and although PS3 is "playable" it runs really poorly with most of the time the frame rate being sub 20 fps. The GOG Version is better but still doesnt run great. The game is capped at 60 to keep it as stable as possible but frame rate dips are very common and you can expect an average of ~40 fps tho the cutscenes are mostly broken with models looking weird or doing weird stuff. You will still be able to hear the story and for the most part see whats going on but some cutscenes the models will warp off screen (espicially when they are on a vehicle in the cut scene). The 360 is probably the best version to play to date with an overall better experience than GOG and PS3 since it has better performance than PS3 and the cutscenes all work. So to sum up, all versions are "playable" tho PS3 is the worst, GOG Version is second and Xbox 360 being the overall best. But theres no bad way to play Saints Row 2 and when on sale ($2.49) its the most affordable and accessible way to play. Good work by GOG to keep these classics alive from a better age of gaming.

Saints Row 2 is the only game in existence where you can get both high and drunk, dress up in a hot dog suit, and then go four-wheeling in a mall, all at the same time, for absolutely no reason. 10/10. But the PC port is...well it's bad. It likes to crash, there's a weird bug where sometimes it will run WAY faster than it should, models and textures are bugged...it's bad. Also I don't care for the art direction in this one and much prefer 1's art direction.

There are a few issues, but I don't mind. This is perfect

I have a 14700K and 3070ti PC running Windows 11 Game booted and playing with no problems, so much better than the unplayable steam version.

This new version has done wonders for the port, but in order to properly play it you'll still need the "Juiced/Reloaded" patch, as well as a couple of other minor bugfixing mods here and there (notably, for the sound issue). With those mods SR2 finally becomes properly playable in PC, but even with that the game is still prone to crashes, LOTS of crashes. And, of course, the DLC is still unavailable for this version. Is the PC version finally worth playing? Well, if you got the original console versions I'd say you can still skip it (even when Juiced/Reloaded actually brings a couple of improvements exclusive to PC), but if not then I'd say you won't really regret grabbing the game now, but do so in a sale. And remember: ALWAYS SAVE AFTER EVERY SINGLE MISSION OR MILESTONE
