A Classic Alternative to GTA

2024 Review Specs: Windows 11, 10900k, RTX 3090, 32Gb DDR4 3200mhz CAS16. Graphics 4/5 Music 5/5 Gameplay 5/5 Controls 4/5 Fun factor 10/5 What more could you want from a game? This is basically GTA with copious amounts of over-the-top action, weapons, and dialogue, gratuitously sexy scenarios, and generally unrestricted gameplay. You can build a criminal empire while beating people with hilariously random objects, participate in mini games, and get your hands dirty with various sundry criminal activities. Though this is a notoriously bad PC port, I can honestly say that the GOG version is the best PC version available. The framerate is locked at 42 fps, and that's just fine for a classic console game such as this. As an essential improvement, it is recommended to install the Gentlemen of the Row mod by IdolNinja (RIP), the radio fix, and the resolution picker as resolutions such as 1440p are not selectable without it. All info can be found at pcgamingwiki Be warned however that your mileage may vary. The game, even with the mod by IdolNinja, can still randomly crash. Save often, and have a blast! The only crashes I encountered on my rig were caused by unlocking the framerate, and by having the browser running in the background. You may also want to play in compatibility mode. You can't go wrong by picking this up on sale.

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.

One of my all time Faves

The port sucks, and though I own the Steam version, I decided to double dip and get the GOG version. This version performs the best without a doubt. And with the right mods, you can make it look better than any HD remake. If you liked this game, you should get it here.

Not my jam

This may seem low compared to a lot of the other ones, but it's a personal thing. the game works very well, decent graphics and controls, no real complaints. I personally don't care for the story line, have no desire to play a character I would have nothing but contempt for in real life. This version seems to have dealt with the problems that plagued earlier PC releases, and is quite competent technically for the time it was released. I just can't bring myself to play this sort of character, should have researched it more before downloading instead of just "Cool! Free game!"

Excellent game, horrible performance

The game was surprisingly good. It starts kinda silly, but the characters have a great development, the level of customization in general is excellent and the overall plot is great. My only complaint is with the performance of the game, even with everything set to low, the game in some parts of the city has some terrible framedrops. Other than that, the game is amazing.
