So the PS4 version of this on sale and i'm bored, I know the framerate was pretty bad initially (it was brought up in the review I think) but apparently the latest patch made it worse. Did they ever get around to fixing it? I know the load times are supposedly better but that's not much solace if the game plays like shit. (granted i've heard it's a pretty average game at best but like I said i'm bored)

I heard that it didn't make it better but worse?

Is on the e3 sale so wondering about this too

I can't speak to consoles, but the game is not great performing on PC even. So apologies if this post isn't helpful there. I actually think it's better gameplay wise than I was led to believe (the traversal with the wingsuit if you master it is really amazing stuff and the physics are so fun) but the progression with the required unlock system is a chore most times. They took the progression of Saints Row 1 in a lot of ways. The thing that sucks most about it is the upgrades are really good. Once you get upgrades you can do really cool new traversal stuff.

I'm not sure what the sale is for PSN, but I got it for $15 and that's a great price for this.

It's not a good game, so even if they did fix it I wouldn't recommend it (if it's still on patch 1.03, they didn't fix it).

I played it for about 20 minutes on ps4 and thanked my lucky stars that I had simply borrowed that copy before getting it on PC. If it's worse than it was on day one then it is not worth playing at all, if it's somewhat improved I would say $30 is the ceiling on it.

ive been a console guy for a while so pc isnt an option sadly. but that also means that im half used to some framerate stuff . I just want it playable.

its 25 canadian right now (so like 20 usd)

Near enough unplayable

I got it on PC and it's still unplayable for me, frame rate isn't an issue, everything else is.

Wow, lots of negativity here. I have it on PC, so no frame rate issues for me, but just wanted to chime in and say I think the game's pretty fun. At least in the same way the second one was.

Well shit, I just bought it on sale (PS4 - EU weekend deal) and am instantly regretting it, reading this old thread. That's what I deserve for impulse spending money like that I guess.

EDIT: yep, it's a total shit show on version 1.05

The current sale brought me here. Sounds like performance is still a shit show??

@sloppydetective: Yea, it's still awful. I just got this game this past Christmas and it can be close to unplayable in some of the more busy areas. I'm not sure how bad it was at launch but if it was worse than it is now, then that is a failed launch. Don't get me wrong, it's still a fun game but that makes it even more dissapointing/frustrating when it has these issues. Low frame rates typically don't bother me (I game on console) but this one was especially bad.

@ericjasonwade: I ended up buying it. I had money on my account from a gift card, so Soma and Just Cause got snagged from the PSN sale. That's a real bummer they were never able to address the real bad stuff. How are the load times now?

@sloppydetective: They were perfectly fine in my experience. No more than 5-10 seconds at the most. Very surprising actually considering the size of the map. Like I said though, I think it's a good game it just has some technical hinderences that really hold it back. So I wouldn't regret getting it, just keep your expectations in check.

Man, I had a pretty fun time with it on Ps4, but after about 10 hours the framerate became so unbearably bad I had to stop. I had hoped they would patch it eventually, but alas, I never heard anything. It's really too bad, because I had a lot of fun with the game, but when the framerate consistently gets down in the teens I have to pass. Never could convince myself to get the Pc version.

This guy fixed it by turning off the internet on his ps4 before starting the game.

The leaderboards were apparrently what messed up the game.
