I've been waiting for the GB guys to say if it's good or if it's like all other SR DLC.

Looks to be about as much dumb fun as you could expect from The Next Great Game in the Saints Row Franchise.

Its probably going to be 20 minutes long and the only thing new it will bring is new clothing a one new enemy.

Played it. It was slightly over 1 hour of content. If your curious about how the Saints would handle Christmas then go for it! The wife and I enjoyed the hell out of it....especially the end.

If your looking for a huge expansive DLC experience you know your not going to get it here, so don't bother.

There's no way that this will live up to how awesome the mere concept of the idea is, but I'm glad they actually made it.

That's not Nolan North's voice for Boss so it feels all wrong but it is still awesome/amazing they put this out.

I forgive you but only if you pushed for the right games. You're off the hook for now but I got my eyes (or ears, whatever) on you Navarro.

It's like all other SR DLC. Volition are basically con artists when it comes to this stuff. Saints Row is the magic elixer, and the DLC is the snake oil.

I enjoyed the humour in this a bunch. The gameplay... less so. You can almost feel the budget and time constraints this DLC went through; all lot of the audio and voice work seems cheap compared to the main game.

Playing this game right now... but much like the last in the series I'm not sure I'll need more than the core game doles out.

The truest Christmas miracle would be in Volition actually made some good Saint's Row DLC.

I've been skipping the SR4 DLC, is it anything I should play asap or should I wait to re buy it for 40 bucks with everything included in the inevitable GOTY edition.

This isn't getting me hyped at all. Has Volition actually released a good DLC for either SR 3 or 4?

It was fun, but like other people said here it's only an hour long at the most, especially if you've leveled up your weapons or powers. That said, if you have a soft spot for the characters and want to see them celebrate Christmas and see some good, wacky cutscenes along the way, it's fine.

I really enjoyed playing this, but I'm a huge Saints Row fan, so the more I can get the better. That said, it's 3 missions that all told will take about an hour. BUT, 3 things, spoiler tagged in case, were super awesome.

  1. THIRD SHAUNDI IS FUTURE CYBORG SHAUNDI
  2. Ms Claus WRECKS **** UP
  3. CHRISTMAS. DUBSTEP. GUN.

Oh, also, Evil Man Sized Gingerbread Men.

My first reaction was an enthusiastic YEAH! My second reaction is "Wait I have the 360 version. Uh... think I'll notice the framerate issues now I've played the Xbox One?" I'm worried I'll be down on it.

Played this with basically a crowd at my college today and had a fucking blast. Super short (really, about the length of, say, a Christmas movie), but funny and just a damn good time.

@wolfhazard:

If you haven't played the game yet, I would wait. All the DLC content so far has been really short, so I don't think the individual price to be worthy and the GOTY edition won't add more than a few couple hours.

If Volition/Deep Silver had a better track record with DLC I would be all over this.

I've got the season pass for this. I think I'll download this and play through the Dominatrix stuff and this on Christmas Day.
