Yep. I am having so much fun with it. Today I played for 5 hours straight without realizing it.

Fantastic port. But I've seen AMD users having issues.
Just wait until you can drive into the gas tanks ala SR2 via IdolNinja's mod.
Bad port. If a game bears an "AMD: Gaming Evolved" splash screen and performs woefully on almost all but the most basic configurations for said brand, it's a bad port. When solutions involve changing the number of cores the executable uses, you know there's a problem.
I believe most nVidia users are fine, though.

Got this on the sale deciding to give it another chance after I tried it out at release and didn't care for it.
Is it ever daytime? I've only played like 2 missions but I haven't seen the sun yet.

Bad port for AMD users, then?
I have and nVidia and it runs smoothly, no problems at all, start to finish.
Yes.
I just noticed that the PC version of the game game is on sale (digital download) on Amazon (link here) for $10, cheaper than the Steam sale. I bought it and you get a Steam key with it too. Great deal for a pretty fun game, just thought some people might appreciate the heads up.
BTW it says US only, but it works even outside of USA if you add a fake US payment address.

Game runs perfect on my 7850. They said it affects mostly 5xxx and 6xxx cards.
Handy to know. Doesn't explain *why*, but it does mean I can pull back my efforts on tinkering with drivers until it improves. Despite running three GPUs, being 5xxx series (5850+5970) doesn't help my cause :/
Yes.
You have to drive into rim jobs while you're not on a mission. the game warns you of this.
How long do I have to wait to be able to retrieve again a tank|car|helicopter|volt|gang member?
Sometimes I want to call for help, but because I already used a gang member in the current playing session, the option is unavailable. I was wondering if I have to wait a particular amount of time to call them again or it's just one call per session? The same goes for notoriety wipe calls.

Nah, I'm sure they are full out on Saints Row 4 and inSane.
I bought the game during the Steam Sale, and I have really enjoyed it! The over the top plot and game play (I love you Tank Mayhem!) have made this a really fun game to play. What has surprised me the most is how enjoyable the combat has been. By "enjoyable" you should read "full of explosions, mayhem, and absurdity"

Is the setting pure urban like GTA IV? I like some variety a la San Andreas
Yes the setting is purely urban (downtown, slums, etc) -- no countryside like in San Andreas. There are various minigames that spices things up though, including ones that take place in a Japanese gameshow, cyberspace, and Mars, etc.
I've been pretty sad since I messed up my copy of this game. I miss it so...I'm probably gonna have to fork out the money to buy it used for my 360 but it's price value is hardly going down lol.
PC version is where is at.
It was $10 on Amazon a few days ago.
Glad you enjoyed it! Don't forget to beat the alt ending. I felt the same way after I beat it my first time, it's a crazy action packed experience full of randomness.
My Laptop can't handle anything lol. But yeah Amazon is what I'm going to use to repurchase it. thanks.

Got this game in the Steam sale, and I can't stop playing it. It's utterly fantastic. The first day I got it, I clocked in at just over 7 hours. And really early on, I found an Attrazione. Maxed that thing out as soon as possible.
I also have an AMD card, an XFX 6770 with 1GB GDDR5, and my card surprisingly doesn't cause me problems. It's just my lowly Pentium Dual Core that can bog the game down, or in some instances, cause it to crash.

Is there any way to fix the god awful frame rate I'm getting with my 560 ti? I'm running the game at the lowest setting across the board and I get only 40 FPS max.
Hmm that doesn't sound right. I have a 570 and I got decent framerates at 1080p by bumping it down one step below Ultra. I'm able to maintain 60fps in most cases, although some areas will still dip into the 50s.
This game sure does make my 570 run toasty though, even with the massive ASUS triple slot cooler on it. Are you sure you 560Ti isn't overheating and throttling?

Nope its sitting at 50 C with the game running. I grabbed the newest beta drivers and that helped allowing me to turn up the resolution to 1080p, but this is fucking ridiculous.
That's weird, it never did that for me.
Are you playing on PC or 360? (I don't know if the PC version supports the game or not)
Nope, but there is one Zombie mission. Not very much though.

Off screen pic of my Alt-Olivia.
On my 7850 and everything at high the game does not drop below 43 FPS and usually stays around 54.

Whored mode has zombie waves.
I asked about this earlier, but got no response - what's the deal with the partially capsized container vessel next to Magarac Island that you can see in the background of your image there.Off screen pic of my Alt-Olivia.
