A flawed, but playable experience
Preface: I played this with the FPS unlock mod, then used RivaTuner to lock it to 60 FPS, and installed the Gentlemen of the Row modpack and only selected the fixes. So after a few years of waiting for the official PC patch I finally caved and decided to play Saints Row 2 on PC after I played through the first Saints Row game on my Xbox Series X earlier this year. With the aforementioned mods & fan patches I will say this game is playable. The framerate is very inconsistent, but for whatever reason when you lock it to 60 FPS (I did so using RivaTuner but there are other ways to do so) it's moderately more consistent, although it is nowhere close to a constant 60 FPS. It actually reminds me of when I played GTA 4 on PC a few years ago, which is another woefully unoptimized PC port, where the FPS varies wildly while driving, when indoors, and during in-engine cutscenes. While less than ideal, I could tolerate the wildly inconsistent framerate. There is a major stability issue with this port, though, where the game will seemingly at random crash when you enter vehicles. It also randomly crashes when explosions go off. It's almost maddening, however the game does have a decent autosave feature; I constantly saved manually as well, just in case the autosave put me into a broken state (which thankfully never occurred during my playthrough). It is definitely frustrating when it happens in the middle of a mission or activity, though, because while the game autosaves following mission and activity completions, it doesn't let you load a save back into mid-mission, so be forewarned you will lose small amounts of progress when the game crashes. Overall it's an enjoyable game, but the technical issues create many hurdles that you'll need patience to get through. There's a lot of variety with the activities, so there's plenty to do in this game, although nothing is really groundbreaking in design or fun factor. I would recommend this for friends, but you'll need patience.
