One of the best games ever made, no game will ever compare to this masterpiece. RIP Volition...

IT KEEPS CRASHING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE but i still love it ;w;

Just finished the game, and ooooh boy its so worth playing. Having previously played Saints Row III and IV, I can definitely say that this game has got the best content. A huge variety of activities rewarding with free unlocks for the effort (not buying, like in later games). The story line, characters, THE HUMOR and the "serious" atmosphere are all well-integrated, as the game balances everything perfectly (later games seem a little too childish, whereas SR2 keeps the "gangster" vibe).

Now...the greatest challenge...the game's performance DOES NOT EXIST! Having installed several performance boosting mods (notably Gentlemen of the Row and few other), the game is still unstable (at least for me). I ended up leaving only Gentlemen of the Row, as with higher fps, the game just crashes more frequently. Even, installed an app that sets the screen into borderless mode (as the game does not originally have such an option), which was supposedly "helpful", but I didn't feel any difference. However, even if you embrace the casual 20-40 fps gameplay, after approximately 60-75 minutes of gameplay, the frames drop significantly (down to 2-3 fps), so relaunching would be recommended. Still, if you adapt to such gameplay, the game is very recommended to try out!

JUST A REMINDER: THE NOTED ISSUES ARE THE ONES I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THROUGHOUT MY GAME, SO RESULTS MAY BE DIFFERENT BASED ON PC SPECS

the game keeps crashing everytime you finish mission 2.

Shameful game.
Not my cup of tea.

Saints row mods - gentlemen of the row

R.I.P Mike Watson,
the legend who made one of my favorite childhood games playable on PC

genuinely amazing game that was way ahead of it's time, the character customization is great, the story is ridiculously fun and the game give you 6 fully voiced voice options for your character, the car customization is also fantastic. it's a shame that this series went off the rails with the 4th game and never recovered from that because there probably won't be another game quite like this one.

I JUST STARTED AND BRO I LOVE THIS GAME

i rlly enjoyed it but it crashes too much for me to continue playing, would not recommend to anyone at all ever

Best game in the franchise, totally worth your time. It's very hard to dislike the game, if you can overlook the bugs of course. The fact that this game has very little chances of getting remastered is heartbreaking.
