It's the equivalent to saying Wings defeated Boogie or that Boogie defeated Wings. They're both shit at the end of the day.

Heist DLC came out. $10 for 3 missions that can be done in less than an hour.
In that thread Flippy mentioned, users are even suggesting better games to buy.

You can literally spend $20 on something that's actually better than this crap.

You'd think something like this would be a side mission, not the WHOLE DLC. Content like this makes me appreciate R*'s pedigree with GTA IV's episodic content. This is just plain insulting.

Most anons on /v/ are not really informative and they're more-or-less myopic. This is why /v/ is a useless board.

Bumping the thread because the game finally got released on Steam and it's already at a huge discount:

It's not even worth pirating.
Also, it's already been a year since this disaster was released? wow

As someone who pirated to give it a genuine fair shake, I concur 100%
Unless you want to grab some unreleased mixes of some radio tracks from the game files, which is why I redownloaded it after uninstalling it
Like, that one synthwave radio station is unironically good

Timmy Tencent paid for the one-year exclusivity and no one bought it, I doubt that he wants to pay more to give it away for free.
Yes it's been a year, and it feels like yesterday. I totally forgot the game still exists til now.

The only reason I remember this game exists is because whenever I pop into my local Walmart, I see the Day 1 Edition still rotting on the shelf.
If they drop it to $5 I might grab it just for shits and giggles - Bad Games can occasionally be entertaining for all the wrong reasons.

I was gonna wait until Flippy does his video on the last DLC and post both (most people who care probably saw it already), but since the thread's alive again:
I think the most interesting thing is the stuff at the end, with stuff about Deep Silver (still owning the IP) wanting a Saint's Row sequel, without Volition. And that the SR2 patch is going to be worked again (probably). So maybe Dambuster will be making a new entry, now that Dead Island 2's out. Who knows? Hopefully they'll have enough sense to throw the nu-Saints cast into the dumpster.

I'm surprised no one has talked about the two new Saints Row expansions... actually, fuck it. I'm not surprised, because this game should be forgotten and deserves to be forgotten.
There were two new expansions for this game. Both of them were coincidentally leaked a month early because Deep Silver are fucking idiots. The first one is called "Doc Ketchum's Murder Circus." It's a half ripoff of Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax from SRTT and the horde mode also from SRTT. For whatever reason, you don't get to play as your boss, instead you get to play as four irrelevant mooks with barely any personality that all play more or less the same. The only main difference is that one of the character's final boss is Professor Genki (because of course it is, these faggots only seem to remember The Third and IV unless its to tell people that the PC patch is totally coming out and hasn't become vaporware). The expansion takes place on Boot Hill (the place where that one mission with the livestreamed murder show happened). You have to travel to four caskets on the island and destroy them, initiating a horde of enemies that you have to fend off. As you play through these waves, you get in game currency that you can spend on skills and perks in an in-game store. Almost all of these are recycled from the base game, except for a new one where you can throw molotovs (riveting, it's not like this should be something you can do by default!). There are also weapons scattered around that you can pick up. Rinse and repeat 8 times until you unlock the final boss. Unsurprisingly, this expansion is really repetitive and boring. It isn't helped that the gunplay in Soylent Row is shit and will always be shit.
Cheats were also added along with this expansion. There are two types of cheats, clean cheats and dirty cheats. Clean cheats are more boring, but they let you receive achievements and save your game. Dirty cheats are more fun, but they come at the cost of not letting you save your game or earn achievements. While it's nice to see cheats return (even if cheats should've been in the game at launch), the cheats aren't particularly interesting. Not many classic cheats, like Evil Cars make a return in the game. In addition, the cheats are buggy, with you being able to die even with god mode enabled.
The second expansion is titled A Song of Ice and Dust (dust is generous, brimstone is more accurate). It's about fucking LARPing. I could probably end it here but I'll elaborate a bit more.
The amount of effort that went into the expansion is baffling. There is a brand new district that is elaborately decorated and a full, 5 mission mini campaign with new cutscenes and voice acting. Yeah, I can't believe Volition is wasting their time adding new districts and expanding on one of the most universally panned parts of their game either. If I were them I'd focus on fleshing out the map you already have, it's not like the foundation of Santo Ileso is horrible anyway. Maybe instead of robbing RPGGameplay's house you could add interiors to the casinos and let us rob them instead. Maybe instead of doing a 5 mission campaign on LARPing you could do... IDK, anything else, let us break into homes in the Mercado district? Add more shops that aren't fucking outdoor stands? Pull a GTA IV and let us go bowling? Whatever. The story revolves around you and Gwen forming an uneasy alliance to fight another house called the Frostlanders. First, Gwen is revived with an artifact her team possesses called the "Phoenix Egg." Just as you and Gwen are about to be "married", you're ambushed by the Frostlanders, who kill Eli, Neenah, and almost everyone in the room (unfortunately, they were not using real guns), and then take the Phoenix Egg. The mission that follows is quite bland, shoot hordes of enemies, shoot an Oleg clo-erm, I'm sorry, shoot a man wearing pillow armor, and then shoot more hordes of enemies. You and Gwen agree to then take out the Frostlanders once she learns the leader took the egg. This leads into the second mission, where you have to get tickets for a potion to "speak with the dead" (so the game can bombard you with low effort cutscenes about how the Chill Queen wants to collect the 7 Chaos Emeralds or something), which the game makes you do by shooting a horde of furries, racing others, and finally by taking a page out of Sonic 06's book bymaking you guess who the captain is making you deduce who committed a murder. Once you learn this, you chase the Bowelrod (remember, the dragon car from the first expansion? Oh who the fuck am I kidding who the hell wants to remember anything from this game), which is now in now in possesion of the Frostlanders, in yet another vehicular combat section. However, this time you're on a turret shooting people instead of on top of a car shooting people, you don't understand it's very different. Unfortunately, you run into a blockade and have to fend everyone off, meanwhile the Frostlanders get away with the Bowelrod. Now you and Gwen make chase for the other MacGuffin, which you do by infiltrating another base in an awful stealth section. However, you soon realize that Carl (the guy from the awful longest death scene parody in the base game) cheated and handed the MacGuffin to the Frostlanders once he was killed. Because of this, you and Gwen decide to bend the rules and create a new MacGuffin, the Banhammer (I suppose a broom and a Hot Pocket would've been too offensive to the Reddit jannies who unironically enjoy this). You then use the Banhammer to infiltrate the Frostlander's base and defeat them once and for all. However, in fighting Gwen sacrifies herself to let you defeat their leader, but you then use the Phoenix Egg to resurrect her.
The most surprising part about this expansion is that the writing is actually an improvement on the base game. Is it good? Not really. Is it anywhere near the story of Saints Row 1 and 2? Fuck no. But it's a noticeable improvement in many regards. For starters, the MacGuffins everyone is fighting over are actually explained. While the Hummingbird Codex was never explained, which made the fact everyone was fighting over it look silly, you can see from the first cutscene what the Egg does and why it's being fought over. The villain is more prominent than the gang leaders in the base game. Unlike how you barely interact with Sergio until he's unceremoniously killed by the Nahualli, the Frost Queen immediately makes a statement by killing off your friends, stopping you at almost every turn, and then by shooting Gwen. However, the best part of the writing is your chemistry with Gwen. While the Boss is still an annoying faggot, its at least being countered by Gwen being the straight man to his autism. The banter between them during the missions and cutscenes almost seems believable, its almost as if these are real people who have a real life friendship with each other. It's also nice to see Gwen being put in a positive light as she was one of the better characters in the base game (mainly because she was one of the few people who weren't impressed by your dumb, risky behavior). Bravo Volition, you learned that showing two people being friends is better than having them tell you they're your friends over and over, it's nice to know your writers finally passed second grade English class. It's a damn shame you wasted your work on a premise as fucking stupid as LARPing.
And that is all for Saints Row 2022. There won't any more expansions for this game. Most notably, the ownership of the Saints Row IP has been transferred over to Deep Silver, so any new Saints Row content will come from a new developer. Volition will likely be forever relegated to a support studio for Borderlands or whatever "magic" Randy Pitchford is thinking of, I doubt Gearbox will ever let them spearhead their own game ever again. It has been heard that Deep Silver is interested in making new Saints Row games. If they're smart, they'll scrap the reboot universe and return to the classic universe, perhaps even make the prequel game about the Vice Kings in 1970s Stilwater. If they dare try to make SR2 with the band kid squad, then I hope Embracer guts Deep Silver and everyone working under their label.
Here are some videos on these expansions. @Mr. Miyagi already posted the Flippy video as I'm writing this so I won't do that again.
The most notable part of MrSaintsGodzilla's video is that his embargo on what he saw of the Saints Row reboot has expired and he's working on his tell-all video. I'm going to be on the lookout for it, as he claimed that what he saw in their Champaign offices was nothing like the final product, so it will probably be an interesting video. SaintsGodzilla is also one of the more trustworthy people in the community, well at least he isn't a Volition neovaginasucker like AJThirdStreet.

I actually went to my closest Target, and I've noticed the price for Saints Row 2022 was bargain bin priced to $5 (pretty much the same with Walmart).
