Saints Row 2 Review (Eatsik)
I can't describe the amount of fun I had playing this game, still stands as such an amazing sandbox title, with insane replayability and a gripping and fun story.
That said, this port is awful, expect lots of crashes, save corruption, hilarious bugs in cutscenes like guns floating, literal game-breaking stuff.
My suggestions!
Install gentlemen of the row by IdolNinja - this fixes 90% of the bugs and crashes the game has, plus adds a ton of content from console versions, some unreleased things, and stuff to make the game better and more enjoyable!
lock the game into 60fps - cutscenes will likely be weird, (floating objects) but this fixes gameplay.
force the game into borderless window - just look on youtube, find an install for a borderless window forcer, this fixes SO many crashes.
When entering vehicles, you can stand on top of the car to skip animation, these crashes will sometimes be unavoidable, but will decrease it a lot.
Save, a lot.
Never rely on your autosave, not only save manually, but create new saves in case of corruption, do this once you feel you've made significant enough progress that you do not want to do again.
save whenever entering wardrobe - looking through outfits is like a 50/50 crash, just save.
and that's all my suggestions, there are of course more and I suggest you to look at them, if you can buy this game on console, also do that, because it has the DLC story missions not on PC!
Overall, this may be my favourite saints row game, and I love them all, 1, 2, 3, 4, even AOM was alright, but saints row 2 is seriously special and does everything right.
actual 10/10. (excluding the pc port)
