Saints Row: The Third. More DLC than a cow has moo.

I was under the impression the man-a-pult was a regular car, and this is only a skin?

If it's the case that it's entirely exclusive I might be forced to preorder from a non shit retailer at some point.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What's everyone's take on the "40 weeks of DLC" stuff?

Do you think they mean "40 weeks worth", or "one release a week for 40 weeks"? The wording of the release makes it seem more like the former.

Which has me worried. Are we looking at possibly cut content for later reselling? I certainly hope not, but the quote

Quote:

What we found was unlike free to play, $39.99 [the budget-level price of MX vs. ATV] just wasn't low enough to drive a big enough install base to push the level of DLC we had initially hoped for.

has me worried. That game was sold basically as a shell for DLC bullshit. And it was budget priced. This most certainly isn't. Is this THQ's Hail-Mary to try to make some of their floundering business back? They aren't exactly doing very well after the last 18 months.

I honestly don't know what to think. THQ has been absolutely fucking retarded with a lot of things lately, and this game's release date, along with this announcement, has me somewhat worried. Both for the quality of the software and potential lost jobs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Knowing THQ's financial problems, even the clothes/cosmetic items will not be free.

Cheapish, probably. But not free.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Given THQ's statements and sentiments I'd err on the side of caution here. Considering what they did with the last ATV, I'm kind of inclined to believe this.

At the VERY LEAST, Co-op is probably going to be an online pass. This rumour sounds strangely plausible, despite the lack of hard sourcing. I too am unwilling to buy it if co-op is paid DLC, THQ can fuck right off.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Something about having a british accent.

Apparently the main campaign is 12ish hours, if you focus on just that shit.

But considering how much of a focus they've made on cutting content to resell to you later, this really shouldn't be surprising. 40 weeks!

My half-joking aside, I think someone said something like the minor activities like the chop shop stuff and so forth doesn't even contribute to the percentage much, if at all, so. Maybe it's weighted funny.

Are stunt rings still in?

How ya doing, buddy?

Just rent it.

It's light on content, especially compared to it's predecessor, and it fits the bill much better for that than a purchase. It's fun but I feel like I got jacked after buying it full price.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Less clothes, less cars, less missions, less diversions, less activities, half the main story missions are activities in disguise. Less guns, less planes.

Where is Fuzz? Where is Septic Avenger, why is there less music, less radio stations, and no collectible CDs?

Tagging is out, ALL Jobs are out, so no police/firetruck/taxi/ambulance/tow truck missions are all gone.

Why is there increased customization in the cars (and an infinitely better handling model) if there's no destruction derby or street races? Why are car hydraulics missing?

Why are there only two instances of Guardian Angel? Why is there less of everything that IS here? Why is half of trailblazing a very awful tron tube racer?

Yeah, it's light on content. Really light on content. Yeah, it's extremely disappointing. It's not a bad game but damn. I wasn't expecting less than half the game SR2 was.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, I'm not trying to say it's a bad title. Just that it's lacking as a sequel and feels disjointed. It's not often that I can play a game and literally see the parts that were removed to sell to you later.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Even the Kanye West track suits the game, and I'm not normally a big fan of his. I think the soundtrack is a bit more limited, and the 80s/90s station is missing some variety and obvious choices, but overall the music is not bad.

100%'d this earlier today though. Fun but I can't shake the feeling of so much missing, and the second half (the good half) is much too short to make me really consider investing in the DLC.

I'll definitely help fuck around in other people's files if they want to invite me though.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
