How to tell if you are playing a bad game.

[OmegaZero_Alpha]

Horrible stereotyping: CHECK
GTA CLONE: CHECK
Shitty vehicle driving in a GTA CLONE: CHECK
Horrible handling on every other gameplay element? CHECK
Shotguns that get one-hit kills at almost any range? Check
Bad graphics, thats a big check
Nickelodeon style voice acting in an M-rated game? Check
No mouse support in menus? Check
Really bad story line? check
linear sandbox? Check
SUPER SPRINT THAT IS FASTER THAN ANY VEHICLE? Check
SUPER EASY HEALTH BAR(regenerates fully in about a half a second of not being hit) CHECK
No widescreen support in a game released in 2009?

Now here is the kicker:

SLOWS DOWN A FUCKING CORE216 ON LOW?!?!?!!!!!!

OH GOD, DON'T TELL ME, ITS A CHECK.

Here is a card that can play Crysis on high with no slowdowns, but I play this fucker on medium and the FPS while driving slows down so much I can't even play the fucking thing.

These gripes are only through the first 10 minutes, which is all of the minutes I am investing in this.

You may have guessed that this is a Saints Row 2 thread.

Question: why even bother trying?

If you believe I am trolling you can get yourself a copy.

The graphics are about the same as GTA3, by the way.

Did you pirate it?

at first, after that I played a friend's copy and it was just as bad, if not worse because I used up one of his DRM instances on my computer.
