Did they ever fix it running like ass even on top of the line hardware?

I heard the PC version is terrible

I can tell you that it's more FUN than GTA. It's definitely worth it. The story is a ok, but the entire world and it's side-missions and different activities to dick around with are awesome.

Give me a game that allows you to ride on a Quad (on fire), set other people on fire, and make anything explode by touch, and Ill show you success.

If you haven't played the PC version, only the 360 version, do not give advice. You might influence people into buying this game when they normally would not. My bro has an i7 920 and GTX 285, and a 7200 RPM HDD. He can't max it out. Even on lowest settings it lags. It literally runs worse than any game I've ever seen. It cannot render frames while reading data from the hard drive. The only way this game will run good for you is if you have at least a GTX 285 (if you want to max out graphics, but even then it's around 30 fps) and a fast SSD (or if you want to try a ramdisk or something). That said, he had a ton of fun with it, and even his friend who was playing on a 9600m GT had fun, although my bro always had to drive because his friend lagged too much while driving. If you have a 360, just spend the extra money and get it on the 360. If you don't have a 360, then I hope you don't mind constant lag and jitters and have extreme faith in your rig.

damn it so i just wasted 8 dollars F me.

yeah I have a 280 GTX and the stupid cut scenes kept shuttering. The gameplay itself felt like I was playing The Witcher on medium/max settings on my old 6800 GT.

Have a thought for us Europeans please when reporting!

DO NOT BUY SAINTS ROW 2 FOR THE PC. It is a heaping pile of ass and nothing can change that. I got it for $5 not too long ago, and I still don't feel like that was worth it.

I don't know about mainland Europe but here in the UK the deal is active and £3.75.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD: DO NOT BUY THIS!!! The developer outsourced the pc port and whoever did it completely fucked it up. My friend and I have very respectable gaming pc's, we can run Resident Evil 5 (a much prettier game) with the graphics maxed out with zero lag and no issues.

For this godawful piece of shit, we had to use the lowest settings (like sub N64 graphics), and even then the game lagged so badly that we eventually just gave up on it altogether. Don't support his utterly broken garbage!

There was a $5 special on Direct2Drive a week back. I felt ripped off. My rig, which runs Red Faction completely fine (same engine as SR2) chugs at an unreasonable rate even with graphics turned down. Stick with the PS3/360 versions.

Get it for 360 instead. PC is severely flawed, no more updates wil lbe released and there's no DLC.

Maybe if you have to play it on PC, you can try not downloading it instead.

Shit. I'm addicted to this game on the PS3. $7.50 is an awesome deal as long as the PC will run it.

Does Anyone Know If I Can Play This Game with My Xbox 360 Controller?

Yeah I'm not touching this garbage port...

They're really desperate to sell this one, I guess. It was $5 on Direct2drive a couple of weeks ago...

Just a heads up to anyone running Windows 7, heard there were a lot of problems with it. Also heard that those problems won't be fixed.

Just bought it. I love it.

As many say stick with the console version, PC performance is spotty at best. While I can play the game (got it on the $5 deal) on foot it starts to lag REALLY hard minute I step into a vehicle.

Sign of an unoptimized game when tweaking everything low does minimal difference in performance. Controls don't seem as tight on a gamepad, especially with performance issues it really cuts into aiming.
