I have an Athlon II X4 640 3.0 GHz processor and a Radeon 5770 card.
Will Saints Row 2 be able to run well for me?

Bad move on Capcom's part, even if it was a pricing error now everyone is going to feel like they're getting ripped off at $10 when it was $5 before, should have just bit the bullet and kept it.

brain_stew is going to be in here to yell at us about the SR2 hate.
I have an i5 750 and a 5850 and the game runs fine.
There was some weird blur issue the last time i tried it..
I chose to get it on xbox 360 and had a lot more fun with it.

what the F??? Finally booted up aliens vs predator and the audio is all jacked. Just makes some wierd ass humming sound. Doesnt steam automatically update it with patches?? I have a radeon HD 5770. not sure whats goin on.
Finally some people agreeing with me on the Saints Row 2 port. If you have problems with it (and there's a fair chance you will,) too bad, Volition will NEVER make another patch. They stopped doing that in 2009. The game is basically unsupported. Yes I'm trashing them for being lazy assholes and not fixing huge problems in their code for over a year.
We can hate a developer who tries to make amends (Just Add Water,) but ohhhh no, we can't whine about any other titles where a developer doesn't even try to make things right. I hate the idiocy in this forum sometimes.
So. What's the word on the King Arthur pack..? Worth it or not?

Yup. It's why I won't be supporting Volition by purchasing any other game from them. Like you said, Just Add Water C.E.O. may have made some poor statements but at least he came in here to communicate and eventually did apologize. That's a stand up move right there. Freaking Volition? Heh. Won't be buying either Saints Row 3 nor Red Faction: Armageddon.

Has anybody had luck running Battlefield 2 on Windows 7 64 bit? I can get into the game but everytime I hit join game for multiplayer it crashes to desktop.
Wow @ DMC4. I had it in my shopping cart, but got busy at work before I could buy it. Came back a couple hours later to checkout and saw it said $10. WTF is that? How is $10 on a mediocre 3-year old game a good deal considering all the other mind-boggling deals Steam has made?
After changing my mind and deciding to hold of on New Vegas as well, today is my first no-purchase sale day. I can finally rest.

It's that bad. It does activate via Steam, I originally bought it from D2D when it was on sale last year. Here's my system:MNC said:
C2D E6550 @2.3 GHz
Palit GTX 460 OC @ 833 MHz, 1 GB RAM
4 GB RAM @ 800 MHz
Incurable stuttering, doesn't run. No fixes worked (and I looked at many), no source for the problem found, no patches fixed anything.
There are enough people who've played with no problems, I'm just saying... The precedent is there. Be careful.

Don't feel so bad. I already own the disc version of arma II but just bought the steam version for convenience. I suck.
Also bought the sam+max:devils playhouse episodes. First day of the sale thats gotten me to bite, everything else on the previous days I either wasn't interested in or already owned. Feeling tempted by the ghost recon package too.

Just to Devil's Advocate on behalf of Volition here based on other, similar situations: It's probably more THQ's fault than Volition's.
Much of the time when patches don't come out, it's because the publisher refuses to "waste" any more resources on the patch, including doing QA on it, and they refuse to allow the patch to be released without QA, so the devs can't even work on a patch without being paid and then release it.

Fatty: "Ahh, all of the Ghost Recon games for $10, what a steal!!!"
*reads posts about how bad the PC versions of GRAW are*
Fatty: "Well, the "GAF Consensus" seems to be that the non-GRAW games are pretty good, and still only $5!!"
*looks at shelf of dusty Xbox GR and 360 GRAW games*
Fatty: "Crap, you almost had me Gabe, you sly dog!!! Well played, sir."

Bravo, good sir.Yasae said:
And once again, another public service announcement:
SAINT'S ROW 2 SUCKS ON PC. BUY THE CONSOLE VERSIONS INSTEAD.
Thank you.
(Oh yeah, just now bought PB Winterbottom and Shattered Union. For those prices, you just can't go wrong! Now looking at Civ IV Complete, hoping for Crysis, Killing Floor or Bloodlines deal.)
Indeed. And I was impressed at the Amnesia guys for fixing the older ATI card conflicts. I had an X1900 when the demo first came out and it would crash early on. They got feedback, they worked on the problem, and they fixed it totally and completely the next patch. It was timely and accurate for a developer with pockets that aren't exactly deep.LovingSteam said:
That's how it should work.

The problem is that Volition was just crappy at communicating. Basically acted like the PC customers should be grateful they even offered the game to them in the first place. Truly a pathetic showing.
Yasae said:
Yup. And honestly, I wouldn't be as peeved if Volition actually took the time to communicate the problems with their customers. They didn't. It was basically 'no more for you, stfu and go away'. Customer service is as important IMO as the quality of the experience and Volition was extremely crappy in that area as well.
Supposedly Volition let another company do the porting job for SR2 on the PC. Well, it was Volition who refused to offer their customers a sincere apology for the mess of the port.

Yeah, I admit to not being too familiar with the situation (played it on consoles a ways back), so if there are specifics at play here that I'm not aware of, rock on.
I just like to use any opportunity possible to spout my general pro-developer anti-publisher agenda.

PC version of GRAW must be really brutal if what people say is true. I remember one time I was hanging out with a big group of friends (like 10-12) and we were all taking turns at trying to beat GRAW levels on 360. It was hilarious because we all kept dying so much, switching off just to watch the next person die after like 3 minutes. Apparently the PC version makes it seem like a casual shooter? Yikes.

Anyway its coming back???
Amazon has it for $5 right. It might come back on steam on the last day of deals, but i doubt it.

WRONG! Saints Row 2 has received a shit ton of support from a good chap named the IDOLNINJA!
I had SR2 on 360 and played the shit out of it. Friends and I bought it on PC bought it and were pretty disappointed by it.
This man however, has created an amazing, huge giant mod called gentleman of the row. At first it was just a collection of a bunch of user made mods in one neat little package. But it has been updated almost monthly for the past year and a half and there has been tons and tons of new content added in the game. New clothes, music, controller options, graphic changes, optimization, logos, missions, unlocks, even added rewards for previous activities and entire re-balancing of the games main story and side mission progression.
It's a super easy mod to install, you can play co-op if your buddy has it installed as well. Seriously, give it a go.

That's the site, has the links for the newest builds. Even if you played the shit out of it on Xbox 360 or PS3, there is so much new content it's worth a complete replay.

That's weird, because RE5 ran great on mine. Especially DirectX 10 mode. In game ranged from 120+ down to 40s. Not bad at all, in fact. It also looks 10 times better than Darksiders. As does DMC4 which also runs fantastic. [/E-Penis]Lostconfused said:
