So I'm playing Saints Row 2 last night, and I'm in the zone, knocking out missions, taking over territories, making some real progress in the game and seriously enjoying myself. Suddenly I get this message that a gamer has joined the game. This was kind of a surprise, as I hadn't realized this was possible. Sure enough, checked my co-op settings, and it was set for anyone to just wander into my game. Before I could do much more than realize that, I get this message from the game that So-and-so is using cheats, so autosave is disabled and you can no longer earn achievements. What the ...

Where is the fairness in that?!? I booted this little bugger out of my game and immediately changed my settings to Invite only to keep that madness from happening again. As it was, I had to restore to a previous save file, losing all the progress I had made yesterday. I was furious.

Let that be a lesson to anyone playing SR 2: Check your co-op settings before you wind up getting burned!!
