    75% off on saints row 2 was yesterdays one day only thq week sale.
    So if you are tempted at that price, do it sooner rather than later.
    The deal usually changes at around 10:30 am in whatever timezone valve are in.

    Got that in the £5 D2D offer a few weeks ago. It's a bit shakey even of a fairly powerful machine (<---) but well worth it non the less.

    What does this game play better on - Xbox 360 or top end gaming PC?

    If Salazaars comment is anything to go by, I'd have to say the Xbox 360.

    Also, sorry if the information is wrong, I was led to believe it was a weekend wonder. If it is not, then can a mad just delete the 'Weekend Deals' part of the title. Thanks.

    Definately the 360, but for £3.75 it's an amazing bargain on the PC.

    As others have said at that price its hard to skip it by, but it does play better on 360 imo

    Re: Saints Row 2 - PC - £3.75 Steam Weekend Deals

    I bought this on Thursday night and downloaded it overnight. I then spent over two hours trying to get it to start a game. I got the main menu, clicked the difficulty after "New Game" and it just crashed to the desktop. All the solutions I could find just said to update/reinstall graphics/audio drivers, update directx, or verify the files in Steam. I didn't see anyone saying those actually worked. I eventually found a comment saying Saints Row 2 doesn't like extra gaming controllers and I remembered I've got a Logitech joystick plugged in. I unplugged it and it worked.

    The gameplay is just like GTA but I don't think it's as good. It's like a clever joke that makes you laugh compared to crude toilet humour. It kind of feels like it's trying to hard. It's still fun, though.

    On my system (I think the details on the left are up to date) I get about 30fps at 1440x900 on High. It does dip and become jerky sometimes but it's playable as it is.

    Don't like this game at all, not really worth £3.75 to me. Oh well.
