Oh hey, now that I have Windows 10 I can finally play SR2 without the speedup bug. I know it didn't happen on Win8, but I used 7 until now so I always had to powertool that poo poo.
What changed? SR2 is still my favourite despite how great the other two games are.

Windows 7 (possibly Vista, probably not XP) introduced an obscure CPU frequency timing issue that showed up in only a few places (like Saints Row 2) that never got fixed within Windows 7. The standard workaround was to hack the game to play at a speed dictated by the ratio of your CPU frequency to that of the Xbox 360.

Windows 8 took care of it, probably not intentionally.

That one issue is the main reason I never played SR2 on PC despite someone in this thread gifting it to me for free. Having beaten it on PS3 twice over wasn't even a close second. Thanks for the heads up!

We're currently testing the restored My Steelport features if anyone wants to give it a shot and report back. I'm specifically looking for confirmation on PS3 account linking and character upload/download since that just went live this morning:

CURRENT STATUS:
PC is up
PS3 is up
360 is up

* Login at saintsrow.com (or create a new account if you don't have one.)

* Make sure that your password does not contain any special characters like #, $, %, etc. Change it if it does.

* If it's a newly created account, you will need to play the game for 5-10 minutes (not just idle at the menu) before the backend profile updates.

* In-game at the main menu, select Community and then link your account using your saintsrow.com login

You should now be able to see your characters and upload/download.

Detailed instructions how to use My Steelport:
http://saintsrow.com/threads/show/30347416

The issues on 360 have been fixed and should be working now.

Another heads up: I recommend capping the PC version's framerate to 30 with something like DXtory, because if it goes higher than that you get weird cutscene bugs and slowdown during gameplay.

After putting in something like 80 hours of MGSV over the past few weeks, I've come to a conclusion: if Volition is doing Saints Row V, and I don't really like saying it, but they had better step up their game. At the very least I expect a Mother Base-style gang management sim part (or dare I hope, police :v:) where you recruit by fulton and speakers plus custom set music on your vehicles.

The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.
My ideal saints row game would be to bring back the individual heat levels for each gang, and bring in the vehicle disguise mechanics from Mercenaries. Especially if you could use that for false flag missions to play two gangs against each other.

That would be extremely good. Only thing I'd change is a need to capture gang vehicles to use them later.

Guess how you'd capture them. Go on.

Man, if they can do this instead of just say, antagonizing a couple of Ronin then running accross the street to hide behind Samedi and have them caught in a crossfire, I'd buy whatever remaster they do in a heartbeat (not that I wouldn't already).

At the same time, this would really work with the factions in SR3 since technically they all come under the Syndicate.

Man, where do you even take Saints Row from here? The Saints already control Hell and the observable universe and are on pretty cushy terms with Heaven; what exactly is left?

Galactic empire explorer?

Farm simulator (German or Japanese; your call)?

Real-world National Hockey League franchise?

I'm not sure even Volition knows.

Saints Row V now available for Pre-Order (available November 2018)

"As the new favourite to take over after God retires, things seem to be going pretty well for the boss of the 3rd Street Saints. But a new power has emerged, a Multi-Universal Empire lead by the only beings powerful enough to threaten the Saints hold on their World - the Saints themselves. Fighting across time and space (mostly time), you must fight to undo the neferious schemes of your other-worldly, rear end in a top hat-ish selves. The stakes cannot concievably get any higher."

Key Features:

Travel through time: See Steelport like you've never seen it before - in different places! Be a Cowboy in the early lawless days before the Saints came along. Kick out the Brits in the fight for independence. Become a star in Golden age of Hollywood, in Steelport. See Steelport in Europe and even Ancient Greece. What happened to Atlantis? Steelport might have (or be) the answer.

Build your Paradise - Customise your own perosnal vision of Heaven. Choose the look, features and rules of entry. Throw banquets, socialise with special guests, kick snakes. Upload and share your Heaven online*.

Crazy new weapons: Interdimensional armies getting you down? There's a gun for that. Don't like that planet? There's a rock for that. Galaxy-sized stellar version of your rear end in a top hat self thinks it's all that? Wield the Constellation Dildo against yourself and show it who's truly the Boss(tm), or make your own design from literally all the stars in the universe. You're a God, man! Time to get creative.

*Website will be back up soon.
