Saints Row 2

would be the best in the saints row series but the game just doesn't run very well even with the gentlemen of the row mod which is a requirement. the three different gang main missons in this game feel like seperate storylines than saints row 3 which kind of make the story more sandboxy. the story and writing is the best in the series and also the character creator and the games sandbox which as alot more enterable buildings. this game needs a remake or remaster. they should have remade or remastered this instead of saints row 3. game crashes constantly so beaware. still would reccomend on a deep sale.

Ive been playing this on my 6900xt/5800x combo and its actually pretty decent. Only fix i did was install the directx vulkan dll files and it runs smoothly. Only issue i have is occasionally the mouse slows down in game and input can feel weird but pausing and then unpausing repeatedly fixes it. Only graphical glitch as well is swimming pools are either red or yellow colored but thats if you are really far away from it and theres so little swimming pools you will rarely see this except near the airport. 10/10 game. On a side note you can install gentlemen of the row if you want but this made zero stability changes FOR ME in MY GAME but you might have other experiences, i prefer the game vanilla as possible and with as few tweaks as i can do and the vulkan patch is the easiest one thus far.

Best game in the franchise. A good enough blend of grounded seriousness, second degree satire, and "shoot first ask questions never" attitude. Constrasted with the dark tone of GTA IV. Those games were never meant to be competitors. Too bad some people thought you couldn't enjoy both so they ended up ruining the series afterwards. Fun action game and the full coop mode was certainly a solid point of it's own.

Just play it!

Saints Row 2 is the best game I have ever played. Played on PS3 and on PC. I love it so much
