SR2 Changing the Draw Distance

I would love to see the DLCs for SR2, but to be honest... it is probably too much of a hassle for Volition for an Old DLCs for a game which may not sell well.
If we did DLC for SR2 PC it would be totally from the kindness of our hearts and not part of our paying job; just like the modding effort.

We all know that Volition devs have the biggest and kindest hearts in the industry. SR2 DLC PC confirmed? ;)

That would be most awesome, was that CD Projekt did the PC Port? those are some nice guys too, some devs just released a mod/patch to the Witcher2 game which fixed and improves a ton of stuff just for the Witcher2 Community, i asume they did too did it on their free time.

Oh please make it happen... we beg you, i will gladly pay twice for each DLC.

SR2 is just supreme, and i thought Skyrim was the greatest OpenWorld Sandbox ever... when i got the humble bundle i was like "oh look it´s SR3, Dead Island and SR2 which does not look so great"

How wrong i was! from the first 20 mins i played SR2 i totally got hooked and have not looked back even at Skyrim, SR3 and GTA4.

There are just tons of stuff you can do in SR2 that i was never able to do in any of those games.. i love every aspect of SR2.

I love how you can pick tons of random stuff in the flood like bottles, boxes, bricks and heck tons of other stuff, olmost everything you see can be used as a weapon, that is just so damn awesome! i love how the player just do a heck ton of random stuff when you go into Idle mode, i love the beautifull waves in the ocean as a ship goes by and i love how there are just immense amounts of different NPCs, in SR3 seems like they are all the same peds everywhere with just a few different Textures.

I just started playing SR2 little more than a week ago and i can´t have enough, i just need more and more SR2... every aspect of that game is genius (except for the bad Performance which i think Volition has nothing to do with on the PC Port.)

If Volition never get SR2 DLCs for PC is ok, i just hope they at least do next Saints Row V more similar to Saints Row 2 with a little bit more seriousness.
 
etayorius, you ever tried playing it with co-op? It's a lot more fun, you can throw a civilian closely to your friend and, for some reason, your co-op partner starts flying! It's so funny!

You can also go naked together and try stopping him from doing that streaker activity.

And talking about ocean waves, there's this cool glitch that makes it go into the air.

Saints Row 2 has a lot of cool glitches that instead of ruining the game, it makes it more fun and it has a lot of cool easter eggs too.

If you have nobody for co-op, you can try it with me, but obviously it's not as fun with strangers. (Especially if he's a Strogg instead of a human)
 
I just started doing Coop with my younger Brother and it´s damn awesome! SR3 was great but SR2 is just pure awesomeness in all directions! heck tons of activies, i got into a truck and started a mission to steal cars and it was hilarious! we also did Fuzz where we pretended to be cops and smack the heck out of all minor law breakers, destruction derby, fight club, crowd control & septic avenger (awesome!) and so on and on and i wonder why SR2 was not much more successful.

I just spend like 8 hours the last 3 days driving and walking, the city is not that huge but damn there is tons of nice places to see like a University Campus, few Malls, residential areas, suburbs, ghetto, movie theater and a museum! its like a second life literally.

I also love the AI, it´s so random and so hilarious because i seen tons of crazy stuff just going on for no apparent reason, i also seen npcs sitting and using a laptop, talking in the phone, gardening, drunk, chatting, fishing, a couple hugging themselves in bench, guys doing drugs, dancing, drinking, using computers, arguing, fighthing... gosh i have not seen this type of behavior before... not even in GTA4.

I also like how there is so much stuff to break, i been shotting at random stuff and seems to be just fun to shot at misc props just to see them break.

This game is just a Master piece, although i did like SR3 a lot the only better aspect SR3 has over SR2 overall is the Animations which was a MASSIVE improvement because in SR2 they looked like dough animation and very very unrealistic. SR3 animations and movement behavior feels real and natural, thats the only thing i preffer over SR2, also SR3 city feels a bit dull and dead... the npc´s just don´t react or do as much.

Also i noticed i could go back into using single firearm weapon or dual wield in SR2 back and forth, i wonder why this was not included in SR3/4.

The clothing system in SR2 is just superior, like being able to use jackets, shirts, underwear and even over the shirt all at the same time, but SR3 had much better and cooler stuff to wear, so ill take SR3 clothing variety over SR2 system in this regard.

Also the balance between sillyness and Seriousness is just perfect in SR2, it is silly enough to be realistic while SR3 was just about Tolerable in that regard for me, i tried to get into SR4 in 360 with a friend and the gamplay was really good, but i could not get into the story... it´s just way too silly for me.

What is the waves glitch? i would like to try that out.

Sorry to bring this up again, but i think this is on topic... does changing the "Distant View" through the Graphic Settings in Options does anything all?

I tried Far, Medium and Near and i still don´t see any difference in objects, Cars and Pedestrians draw distance... i don´t even see my FPS dropping 1 frame, so does this setting work at all or is it broken?

i know Volition will not fix anything related to the old SR2 Game, even less the PC version... i just want to confirm if this setting is working at all.

I don't think anyone at Volition will be able to answer this question. :(
 
A small update regarding the Distant View Option and actual functionality:

I been fiddling with this Setting a little more and i can confirm it to be working, the thing is if i turn the option off/on without moving around fist, the effect does not takes place... i think you need to move around for the effect to kick in after changing it, but still the "Far" option seems rather short and bad, sometimes enemies and NPC will spawn or disappear as soon as you turn your back on them, i seen Cops and Gang Enemies spawn right behind my back when i turn facing the opposite way, i have even seen NPC running in fear only to disappear as soon as i do a fast 360 spin.

Just wanted to confirm the "Distant View" in Option does work at least, in a very non efficient and unrealistic way for a 2009 PC Title.
