Saints Row 2 is badly optimised. Very, very, very badly. Horrible port.

Can u be specific?



Around the Network

I turned ALL settings to minimum. It chokes to death anyway.

I played GTA IV with twice the framerate...

Okay, but does it look decent?

Maybe u have a slow comp.

No. It looks marginally better than GTA:SA at that level. I checked its Metacritic reviews, many of which mentions the horrible optimization.

My comp is not fast, I'll admit. I ran Bioshock just fine, and Crysis was playable on low. So it's not a high end machine anymore (I'm working on that). But this is just ridiculous. I'm not going to play this game again until I get a new graphics card.

Hmm. Too bad. I had forgotten Saints Row 2 even got a PC version. Would have been fun to play it, instead of GTA4 which got boring too quickly

Buy Stalker NAO !

Is this webshop good to order games from if u live in Germany/Sweden?

Sure this is the site I use most of the time.

Best thing is you only have to pay £0.99 per item for shipping. Meaning you can buy anytime you want. Unlike Amazon where you have to pay at least £6 per delivery...

EDIT: Be sure to pay in £ and not in € !

This way you can save even more money.

Well they claim it takes about 3-5 days. Can't remember exactly how long it took to receive my last delivery from them, but that's probably true.

Just be sure that the currency is set on £ in the right upper corner of the site.

When you make a comparison between their prices, you will notice that their exchange ratio is a bit different than the actual ratio. So even though the Euro prices are already very good, you will get it a bit cheaper when you pay the original UK price tags.
