Would be much appreciated to see the PS3 impressions as they roll in, still on the fence - considering the reported issues.

Wow. This game. Incredible. Played for three hours straight, but now I need some sleep.
I foresee many, many hours with this wonderful game.

Damn, this game so good. Totally scratches the Crackdown itch too.

The point is customization.
I damn near barrel rolled across town :lol
Well, I got to get up in a few hours, guess I should go to sleep.
need more performance reports, wanna know if im the odd one out or NoLoveForFailWheelDrive is
again im with:
GTX680 2GB
i5 2500k at 4.5ghz
8 gigs of RAM

I love the Day of the Tentacle reference with the Violator.

I'm not going to complain considering it's half price and these guys are going out of their way to provide a solution and they've been communicating pretty well about it.
so much to TRY!SmoothRunningGun

Once you get the superpowers the game is a blast. Loving it so far.
the weirder thing is that when I get into a car there's no sound to that animation
like I break through glass and hear nothin

Yeah, it's a nice game so far. But I miss some cool effects when you make these high jumps and then land on the ground. It should crack or something.
I jump like 50 meters high and land on a car and the car doesn't even go an inch down.
Lack of polish imho.

I had some awful things to say last page.
Waiting till I get to the superpowers, but right now I just keep wondering if SR3 was really this ugly with this much screen tearing. Like, I'm considering putting SR3 in just to compare, it's that distracting.
If PC is an option, don't hesitate.
Is it available instantly, then? No point driving around with cars anymore? Is car modding scrapped as well?
Same.
Listening to this is how we do it on mix station lol
They'll patch sound bugs hopefully.

I am so aggravated right now. Got off work at 1 AM, go to Walmart 1 mile from home..
"Saints Row? Oh, that's the one we didn't get for some reason"...
Drive to another Walmart 20 minutes away...ask for game, guy goes in back...15 minutes later..
"Sorry buddy, I can't find it"..

After about an hour you get basic traversal stuff. There is still car modding. Driving does seem pointless though.
"Did you Pre-order it? Should've pre-ordered it, dude."
they might be able to add those little things in small updates.
So far im just exploring and running around, it's so much fun. And getting headshots with the pistol is VERY satisfying imo.
ALso, I haven't been able to carry over my characters but I think that's because I saved them in a different device compared to where my SR4 save is. I'll need to check that out again.
Same. My rig is comparable to yours and it does the same. Still fine, but not solid 60 all the time.

honestly the engine seems fairly improved. Lighting is much better. Its clearly not a looker but the added effects make it look considerably better than Saints Row The Third
thanks, that's reassuring
also card running at 80°c with this (stock fan with no custom profile)
hawtness
I need to replace my card soon or something. I use a custom profile now for my fan to keep it cold but 80C is this card's "safe" limit. Playing Metro LL in DX10, DS3, or SR3 in DX10 makes this card flash red and blue spots all over the fucking place at 70C~.
I don't have the money for this shit.

That's a symptom of how their rendering engine handles lighting & transparencies & MSAA IIRC. Can you check if there is a difference with MSAA off?
edit: Anyways, the way they handle lighting & main scene rendering isn't particularly straightforward, and they did have a solution to fix up those lighting errors (since RF:A), so it may just be a bug on nV's side. Or maybe they've done other tweaking in the engine that accidentally broke something. *shrug*
what card is it?
6xx series and forward should be fine under 98°C or so, they're built to get hotter

Fucking died at the '50s stuff. The super powers are nice, but nowhere near as polished as Infamous, Crackdown, or Prototype.
Bring some of the Ultra down to high or whatever the next level is. Most of the time ultra is just pointless and adds very little, but has a big performance hit. My game hasn't unlocked yet so I can't see, but pretty much all games are like that.

On my brother's computer with a Nvidia 680MX GPU, forcing VSync from the driver worked fine. We also turned the in-game VSync off.

Is there any way for me to unlock this game on Steam and play it today even though I'm in the UK?
Wait, people have gotten codes from GMG? I still don't have mine.
Yes, use a VPN. I used Spotflux myself.
What you want to do is:
1. Put Steam into offline mode
2. Turn on VPN
3. Go online with Steam and unlock the game (and maybe start the game once to be safe)
4. Turn on offline mode and turn off VPN
Yoiu'll need to stay in offline mode to play the game, though.
I got mine in the order confirmation email they sent me right after I purchased the game.
If I were to then go back online the game would re-lock itself yes? Could I then say, use the VPN and offline mode to play it some more?

I have an i7-920 OC'd to 4Ghz and a 680 and I get a constant 60 fps. Take that for what it is. .
That's how it used to work, yes. I'm not sure if they changed it by now. Last time I did this was with Borderlands 2.
