Can I ask what mods were installed besides dsfix?

Yep. The only reason I haven't done any downsampling is to keep a steady 60fps. Even at 1080p I'm getting drops here and there.

It's a piss-take on the whole macho 80s action hero, cranked up to 11.
Since the Steamworks conversion performance has taken a hit as far as I can tell. I can downsample in most areas, but something like the Artorias of the Abyss areas? Forget it. Not sure what they changed, but it's definitely a little more spiky now.

Nintendo themselves went a long way towards sinking it themselves. Here's another title for you to have casual nightmares over: Imagine Party Babyz. Yes, with a Z.

For me, it is Sunless Sea.

The writing is certainly very interesting... but the game and combat mechanics, the borefest during the horrendously long trips between the islands, the characters artstyle I find too childish, the quasi pointless trading...

I don't know if I played the game wrong, but that was a huge disappointment to me.

Sounds like it is suffering from the FNAF fandom issue, except instead of weird ass furries who get scared at the gaming equivalent of a jack in the box (seriously?), you instead get other weird people who are into skeletons wearing fur coats.
That just sounds like you suffered a PEBCAK error.
I really don't get why anyone was into 13 after the bar 12 set. Was the virtual paper doll that popular?

Hand of Fate right there - Nothing worse than getting a good game just to have the dev forget about you unless you're a Steam user.

Hammerwatch is also closing on - I emailed the developer personally to let him know that the GOG version is still 1.23 (the latest version includes a whole new expansion mind you). Meanwhile the Steam version is literally DRM-Free (tested it myself) and all he has to do is zip that up and send it to GOG.

If these devs don't care about their non Steam users then I won't care about them either.

Gone Home
Max Payne 3
Dragon Age Inquisition

All a waste of time and money.

That's why I got Diablo 3, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age on Playstation and Xbox instead of PC.

Nothing.

Dragon Age: Inquisition - yawnsville.

Wait... Is the GOG version of SR2 fixed, including the speed issue? Because when I tried the GOG version in the summer, to me it seemed it had the same speed issue as the Steam version, ie. on one laptop I was getting that speed-up Benny Hill running, and there was some jerkiness in the movement. I think those were the exact symptoms of the game running at a wrong speed.

Is it confirmed this is really fixed with the GOG version, and the Gentlemen of the Row mod (or PowerTools or what the exact mod is called) is not needed anymore? Note that whether the problem manifests itself, and how badly, depends apparently on the CPU speed. So not noticing the issue might be because your CPU speed happens to be close to the optimal speed.

Ps. The relevant Steam page still claims that the speed issue happens only on Windows 7 (and possibly Vista), but I think that is untrue. I saw the problem earlier on Windows 8, and this latest case was on Windows 10. So I say it is hogwash the speed issue doesn't happen post-Windows 7.

I've heard from several members here that the GOG version is fixed, but I haven't been able to test it myself as I only own the Steam version. So your GOG version has the speed up bug too?

Yep, the problem is that the engine cycle speed (or something worded like that) has to match the Xbox 360s speed or you get that ultra sped up framerate stuff.

The Steam page is indeed incorrect, I had the issue on both a Windows 8 laptop and a Windows 8.1 laptop.

Well, the little I tried it (to test how it runs on Windows 10), it seemed to have some kind of issue with the speed.

Anyway, now I found this: this Saints Row Guru(?) said back in May that the GOG version has the same issues as the Steam version:

I don't know if anything has changed since then, should check the SR2 changelog on GOG whether it has received any changes after that... The Steam version worked relatively well even without a mod on my ASUS laptop earlier (I guess its CPU speed was close enough), but according to the racing test, the game didn't run quite on the right speed on it either.

Also as I said, unlike the Steam discussion suggests, I saw the speed issue also on Windows 8 (and 10). In fact it was even worse than on Windows 7 because in Windows 7 I was able to change the speed to correct one with the mod, but on Windows 8 the mod didn't change anything, and the game was still running at a wrong speed. Not sure if I did something wrong there, but I did all the same steps as I did successfully on Windows 7.

I am a big time shmup player, and used to play fighters a lot too. A few years ago I custom made an arcade stick, more expensive than I would want to admit, with so much excitement, only to find out that I had long become a 'keyboard guy' over the years. Now the stick's collecting dust somewhere in my basement.

PS. Every time I tell this story some idiot feels obligated to make a snarky comment about how keyboard players suck, and all the rest of it... Then I invite them for a few rounds of Guilty Gear.
