Saints Row 2

my fev game

Installed today, it kept crashing. Looking on internet, seems Steam version had the same issue (not compatible with Win7 x64 version). Even the troubleshooting (Run as administrator/Disable visual themes/Run compatibility mode (Windows 7)) didn't help me to fix the issue - I still can't launch the game. I hope GoG will publish some kind of guide/fix as attached documentation/exe to solve the issue, else the 'run under Win7' note on the game description would be a sad lie.

This version is probably the best one to play on PC but it's still far from being good. Even installed on an SSD fps is still bad about 18-28 with 24 on averege, no matter what settings I choose. Also, I believe all sound effects and music in this game (as well as in Steam release) is mono and has reaaaally low quality... Moreover the store page is a bit misleading, while it says that game features co-op and multiplayer it's not entirely true. Yes, you can play it via LAN or something like Hamachi but there's no official online multiplayer because Gamespy servers were shut down. So yeah, aside from all the issues the game itself is great. But I still won't recommend this game on PC especially if you have an Xbox one - this game is available via backwards compatibility and it runs waaaay better and it also has online multiplayer.

This is an amazing game when you can run it and bare occasional crashes every hour. IT IS A MILESTONE. This is so classic that the devs could organize a conference about "DEFINITION OF OPEN WORLD GAMING." Music, humour, gameplay, story, activities… it is a masterpiece. Variety of customization on the characters properties, vehicles, cribs, gangs, loadouts, variety of side events... not to mention the main story, it never gets bored*. The map isn't too large, but it is large enough to contain all events and not feel empty, for example travelling from point A to B never feels too long or boring, every corner, and street and buildings have their own feel, and probably their own interiors. OK, let's get to the negative stuff, I put an (*) there because PC port of SR2 is not performing well by default. This game needs some tweaks and for these you need mods, maybe ones with many additional features. If you try to play it out-of-the-box, you should expect weird FPS and performance related issues, poor quality of vfx and crashes to desktop. By the way, i have to say that this one performs definitely better than the Steam version. You should get this game or you can miss an action-fiction-rpg-openworld-classic! I almost certainly guarantee that you will enjoy it! 👍

in 2021, i desided play it, maybe already 5 times. Yeah, maybe gameplay not super good, but i very love this plot and emotional moments. Thats realy AWESOME. Ronins and Brotherhood lines I love most of all.
