Even worse than Valves HL2 engine thats like 6 years old. I mean seriously the game is fun but the framerate is among the worst on the 360, the graphics ? usually I couldn't care less but these look like PS2 graphics with the gamma turned all the way up lol. Fun game but doesn't meet this gens standards.

Those who say that graphics have no affect on whether or not they can enjoy a game are LIARS. If this were the case we'd all still be happy with 2D side scrolling. Like a movie if the special effects are down right embarrassing to watch the experience is ruined.

Actually it was frame tearing on my 360 and I was still enjoying for a while...the graphics were the nail in the coffin.

Agree. Also, I had very little framerate problems, and I played through it twice in co-op with no trouble.

I really love saints row 2. People who ditch a game for graphics just arnt true gamers. If you want something that looks pretty play crysis. If you want a game that is good quality fun, saints 2 is the way/

Yeah. The game is fun, but the graphical presentation is a joke. I enjoyed playing it for a little while, though.

I don't think you guys get it...I didn't "ditch" the game oley for its graphics, people are so naive and cannot understanding that graphical performance is much more than how a character looks, frame rate issues and tears play a huge factor as well. And by now everyone who owns this game must know that there have been some who have experienced the frame rate issues and some who haven't. I am one of the guys who is getting the frame tears.

Ok firstly a frame tear doesnt exist. There is frame rate, and screen tearing. Screen tearing doesnt really bother me unless it is severe, and in this game it is not.

This game definitely takes some frame rate hits but its really not enough to ruin the experience of the game overall.

If it looks awesome, but plays like garbage, it is garbage. Anyone who only buys games just for look are stuck up bitc...

You've been conditioned to lie to your self in an attempt to sound more "mature" or "open minded", its something we do all the time, really and truly if a game had horrible graphics and great gameplay you wouldn't play it. Not saying Saints Row 2 has horrible graphics but you get the point I'm trying to make. It's simply a lie that you would play something that's visually unfulfillable just because the controls were good, part of the fun of playing video games is that they look cool while we play them.

For anyone who cares, there are v-sync options in the menus that will drastically reduce screen tearing.

I don't play games on PC at all...FYI I own a Wii and play it quite often... it seems most of you guys only skim through posts and don't really read into what problem the thread creator might be experiencing. My problem is Saints Row 2's graphical performance is subpar for the engine it uses (Havok) and I am also experiencing screen tears, as natural the two together would make anyone unhappy.

For those who are just talking out the side of their behind and are assuming i'm a graphical elitist because I find fault with SR2's visuals, here is an example of what I am constantly experiencing, and I'm not the only one who has experienced this.

Huh, no. There's no "liars", myself i still enjoy more my share of 2D side scroller than most 360 games out nowaday.


As for Saints row 2 i never really had any problem with it and i'm sure i'd have noticed, might have to play it some more to see. owo

yes I always use HDMI cords and settings...but it seems as though only two people in this entire thread have experienced the screen tearing, so its probably not as common in the game as I thought. I'm gonna return this copy and see if I can find another one.

everytime I play saints row 2 I wish it had better graphic. however, each time I throw a c4 at a walking person and see them run away in fear... I realize graphics isn't everything, it's all about how much you enjoy the game.

Sorry buddy, im in to the whole everyone has their own opinion thing but saying a game is a joke just cause YOU had some technical problems is the joke. Your generalizing a single issue you had with it and put it down instead of seeing if there is a reason for it such as a bad copy of the game. Yes I know others have experienced it but this is your thread and not theirs so we're talking about your problem.

Secondly, if you'd like I can give you a whole list of 2d games that i know quite a few people still enjoy to this day.

I hated SR2. Terrible, terrible game. I agree with the TC about SR2's graphics, they are crap but I disagree about graphics being so important to enjoying a game. I still own a Sega Saturn and all the games I own for it are 2D. Great graphics definitely help you enjoy a game but you shouldn't let graphics stop you from enjoying a great game. It's gameplay that makes a game great, not graphics. TC you mentioned you had a Wii. Mario Galaxy. Poor graphics, amazing gameplay. Half-Life 2 was mentioned earlier. I agree that it looks dated now but IMO it's still one of the best games you could play today. Portal is another example I'd like to point out. Average looks, amazing gameplay.

I was playing San Andreas, a game which was published in 2006 I think, and still managed to have loads of fun :)

Of course, I would have preferred a HD remake (like God of War has) but I wouldn't say that the graphics hinder my enjoyment too much :)

Wherelse...I never really liked Crysis. The graphics were top notch but the gameplay was kinda bad in my opinion :P
